Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Convenient for a one-night stay but we had better value for money in other places in Sri Lanka. The quality and size of rooms varies across the property, which might explain the varied experiences reflected in reveiews

Negative: It was nothing special

Summary: Satisfactory for a one-night stay

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: We stopped here for our last night in Sri Lanka. The place is located a little of our the main time, which suited us. The garden around the property is lush- lots of plants, birds, chameleons, fireflies... We enjoyed walking around. The pool is clean and big, with areas to relax around it. The chalets comfortable- they had everything we needed. Finally, the staff was so friendly and helpful- always available and clearly taking lots of care to look after the place.

Summary: Comfortable chalets in lush, relaxing garden

Positive: The gardens were gorgeous- like a mini tropical botanical garden. The pool was a good size to swim in and great area for relaxing. Extremely friendly staff. Great showers!

Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The grounds of the property are pretty and peaceful. The room I was staying in was fairly comfortable with a good balcony.

Negative: My interactions with most staff were great, apart from at checkout presumably with the property manager. He was very rude and patronising to me about checking out at 6am. This is despite them saying they have 24 hour reception, one of the main reasons I booked! I would expect better from a hotel entirely geared up for people using the nearby airport. The food offer and quality was very standard, the pool water a little murky. Maybe would be better to stay closer to Negombo as there are few restaurants in the area so you’re forced to eat at the hotel.

Summary: Decent stay but customer service needs to improve

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Brilliant base for a couple of nights after flying in Close to airport Owners, Deseray and Bredan, were charming and helpful Delicious food and lovely pool

Negative: Lots of standing water means mosquitoes! Bring spray. They can’t help it but the local bread Tuk Tuk so early in the morning and it’s annoying song! (It happens across Sri Lanka- you’ll be very familiar with the tune by the end of your stay!)

Summary: Charming villas in lush green surroundings with pool

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: We were satisfied with our stay overall. The main advantage of this property is definitely its proximity to the airport, which makes it especially convenient for travelers arriving in or leaving Sri Lanka. There is also a free airport pickup if you stay there on your first night in Sri Lanka, which is a very helpful service. The staff were generally kind and accommodating. We also enjoyed the breakfast, and the property itself is interesting and varied, with a lot to look at.

Negative: Outside the property, there is not much of interest for tourists, and there are no nearby restaurants within easy reach. Our main criticism was the payment process at the end of the stay. We asked at check-in whether card payment was possible, and this was confirmed without any further explanation. We also asked again via WhatsApp and received the same answer. However, when it came to paying, we were told that we also had to cover the Booking service fee, which was not included in the invoice shown to us on Booking and added around 10% to the total. On top of that, card payment was subject to an additional 3% fee, which is not unusual in Sri Lanka, but we would have appreciated being informed of both extra charges when we asked in advance. In that case, we would simply have withdrawn cash beforehand. But we still had a nice stay.

Summary: A good overall stay with friendly service, but the payment process should have been more transparent.

Positive: We stayed here several times during our tour of Sri Lanka and cannot thank the Resort enough for consistently providing us with a memorable stay - an exceptional gem in Negombo! Steps Garden Resort provides a courtesy pickup service from the airport, is set in lovely gardens, with a variety of bungalows at very affordable and competitive prices, plus a lovely clean pool with loungers (towels provided) adjacent to dining hall. The bungalows are extremely clean with comfortable beds (plus mosquito nets), and en-suite bathrooms with hot water. We had all our meals at the Resort and can vouch that the breakfasts and wide variety of freshly cooked dinners were delicious. The host, his wife and all the staff were exemplary, so very kind, extremely helpful, and engaging with guests, ensuring that their stay is satisfactory. We have been fortunate to travel to many countries, staying in a variety of accommodation, and Steps Garden Resort must rate as one of the very best. Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable stay… we very much hope to return. We can very highly recommend this lovely place, whether it be on arrival/ departure or even for a relaxing few days.

Negative: Nothing!

Summary: A wonderful gem complete with a pool and such friendly, kind staff - plus a courtesy airport pickup!
