Perfect for short or long stay
Very large house, wonderful verandahs and an excellent room with its separate study alcove with a window. The staff were extremely helpful and the location is a mere 15 mins from the airport. Tuk-tuk rides into Negombo town were 10 mins and yet the location of the house is an end-of-an-alley hideaway with lots of trees and vegetation.

Great spot to stay!
The room is spotless, spacious bathroom with everything you might need, big common area and nice garden. We enjoyed everything here. Great host who will assist you with everything! If you are looking for somewhere to stay near the airport, look no further. And you can walk to a railway station where you can have a scenery journey to Colombo. Highly recommended!

I could not have had a better experience. I was picked up at airport at 2am as was promised with family member waiting for me when I arrived at their home. Entire family was very welcoming, warm, friendly, helpful. The bedroom was very comfortable with adjoining reading room. Excellent breakfast with tea or coffee & local restaurants within walking distance. I would strongly recommend without any hesitation West Dene to anyone whether they be staying for one day or for afew days.

Not bad for stopover but confirm prices on extras
Hotel was clean and air conditioning worked well. WiFi was ok. Lots of noise from outside and surrounding areas. NOTE... they advertise van shuttle for $10USD and then demanded $15 after booking the property. Have screenshots of everything. Would have chosen another property since there are many similar ones in same price point

Feeling of home
If you love a place away from the hustle and bustle of the city and yet near enough to go by 'tuk tuk, you will definitely love this place. The building is set against beautiful lush greenery. The garden is well maintained and is surrounded by big matured trees. Evangeline and her husband Stanley are such good and jovial host. Each email to Evangeline is replied very promptly and clear. The moment I met Evangeline and see the smile radiating her face I knew I have chosen the right place to stay. Waking up and having a table laid out with fruits and yummy dishes set on the balcony overlooking the garden it sure feels like home. We had a triple room and its very spacious and the air con and wifi is good. The Colombo airport is just a mere 20 mins drive.

Landed on my own on my first night in Sri Lanka, I had an airport pick up from the owner Stanley, to the accommodation which was nearby. Beautiful place, clean, comfortable, lovely owners who couldn't do enough to help. Evangeline advised a nice local place to eat which was walking distance. Breakfast the next day and help with collecting my friend from the airport. Thank you for my wonderful stay and starting my trip in Sri Lanka in the best way xx

Great location to airport, but awful mosquitos
We stayed here for one night before flying out early in the morning. It was quick and easy to get to the airport and the shuttle was only 1000 rupees. If your primary priority is a place to stay before an early flight, this is a good option. The service and room were also quite good. The room had a small sitting area with refrigerator, the bed was more comfortable than most, and the bathroom was well-stocked and clean. The common-area has a full kitchen and living area as well as a dining table. Additionally, the grounds outside are well-kept. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend going outside as the mosquitos are quite bad. All three of us were bitten numerous times.
