We had a wonderful stay at Gomez’s place. This place is a hidden gem and a quiet sanctuary away from the busy city. He and his staff were welcoming and very helpful, especially with helping us connect with the airline after losing our bags. He also set up a driver for us to our next location at a good price. He has owned his place for 28 years, here’s hoping for many more!

I had a wonderful experience during my recent stay at Gomez Place. Everything about the hotel was exceptional, but I was particularly impressed by the beautiful garden, which provided a perfect and serene atmosphere. Additionally, the staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. I would like to give a special mention to the owner, Mr. Gomez, for his exceptional hospitality and for maintaining such a high standard of service at the property. Thank you for the excellent service. I look forward to visiting again soon.

Just a perfect oasis set in a mad sri lankan city We stayed at the end of our trip A month in sri lanka. Near the airport, wanted to chill before we left. Couldn't have chosen better. Perfect place. He must have been cultivating those garden for years. Its a gorgeous oasis in the middle of a city. Gomez staff run that pkace seamlessly. He very generously had a free party on new years day...beautiful food served by his lovely staff. Just absolutely five stars xxx

Gomez Place was a wonderful hotel. Gomez, Tharusha and the whole team were incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home. My room was large and had the biggest bathroom! There was an in-room safe, AC, Hot Water, parking at the back of the property, and walking distance to restaurants and beach. Breakfast was plentiful. Highly recommended.

We booked as it had a good review. On arrival we thought the rooms were a bit dated but everything went up from there. The grounds are lovely, nice and intimate, the staff were fantastic and Mr Gomez greeted us at breakfast every morning. You will get offered eggs for breakfast but you can ask for a menu but limited offerings. having said that the eggs/omelette were fine for us. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I would stay again.

My stay was totally messed up from the beginning due to American Airlines fouling up everything they touched. Arrived a day and a half late and Mr. Gomaz and his staff rearranged pick up from airport three times by the time things were done. The persistence of his staff in talking to mishandled bags at Qatar (who saved the day) is largely due to the persistence I believe of Mr Gomez and his staff. I can't say enough about the efficiency, the caring and the attitude of both Mr Gomez and his staff. That's what you call a personal touch and believe me, that's a rare thing. You can't go wrong by staying here. I sure hope I can come back to Sri Lanka and if all the planets align and things work out, that will be the first place I go and stay. They offered to arrange tours and everything with the driver but I had a tour booked and so I had to turn down their generous offer. I love breakfast with fresh fruit when I don't have to shop for it, cut it and prepare it. Top notch all around. This is definitely not a mega resort cookie cutter hotel, but if you want personal attention and genuine smiles, you can't go wrong here at all.

Fabulous stay

Fab, quirky place - each room is very different. Really helpful & friendly staff. Great breakfast, cooked to order and taken by the pool. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach and bars/restaurants. Lovely introduction to our first trip to Sri Lanka. Recommend booking their airport pickup - it was nice to know that at the end of a long flight someone would be waiting for us. Would recommend to others coming here.
