Backpackers Negombo Hostel by City Hub
1.0 star property
2.0 out of 10, (1)
"At the time of my booking, this hotel was not actually completed. I went to the address indicated, only to find that there's no sign or evidence of any hostel at all. I called the number provided on my booking, to find that it linked to a hotel under the same owner several miles away. While they honored my booking, I really would have expected a refund or more from them. "

Mazz Homestay - Hostel
2.0 star property
5.8 out of 10, (11)
"Sorry to Sato that but unluckily nothing written on the description is real. The airport pick up is not included, the place do not have any beach nearby, the room has not private toilet, just one shared with other guests. No mosquito net. Raven no blanket of any kind. Only good is that is nearby the airport. But then, if you are headed to Colombo no one is willing to drive you there. The indication was: take a bus! Not suggested place to stay. Maybe just for a sleepover if your fly is delade....
