Very clean, nice room and friendly staff. They gave us a little complimentary breakfast box which was good, and the owner even gave us a lift to the bus stop when we left. Have booked another night there next week when we are briefly back in Colombo.

“Amazing”
Great staff. Always ready to help. Changed sheets cleaned up after us took care of us and always helped us out when we had difficulties in the country. Amazing place. Also an amazing initiative by Ms Gihani Rajapaksa. Our trip wouldn't have being as smooth without Big House. Would recommend going to Big House over another place.
