Like most people staying in Negombo we stayed for a couple days after the long flight from London and I'm so glad we did. Ayubowan Guest house was like a little oasis a million miles away from departure areas and security checks we'd been through. The house, rooms and pool are amazing Ron & Brenda really bent over backwards to... more

My wife Betsy & I spent two nights with Ron & Brenda in August 2009 at the end of a 6 month trip around SE Asia and thoroughly enjoyed our stay with them. The guest house is beautiful and Ron & Brenda were most welcoming hosts. The food was excellent and the pool was wonderful on those hot Sri Lankan... more

Just arrived home after a business trip to Colombo, and stayed for a couple of nights at the Ayubowan for a bit of R&R before the journey home - also did the same in April and shamefully forgot to leave a review on that occasion. I'm a bit worried that if I leave as positive a review as I want... more

I spent two nights here winding down from a trip to Malaysia and thoroughly enjoyed it. Ron and Brenda were great. They helped organize a scooter rental and sent me on my way each morning with a wonderful breakfast. The room was immaculate, the food a delight, and the surroundings peaceful. Excellent hosts and a very reasonable price. more

Though we didn't... more

I only visted for a short stay, but Ron & Brenda were fantastic in making the most of my time in Sri Lanka. Ron picked me up from the airport, and the house was stunning. Clean and tidy rooms, and very welcoming hosts - providing breakfast and organizing a local tour with a driver. A fantastic experience all round, and... more

I agree with all the previous reviews, this guest house was heaven. I origionally planned to stay the first three nights of my trip but ended up staying the last the last 3 as well. Ambience is perfect and I spent hours in the pool relaxing and admiring the beautiful gardens. The rooms were spotless and modern as was the... more
