My stay at Randi Homestay in Negombo was quite pleasant. The owner, Randi, provided really good service throughout my visit, driving me to local spots in his tuk-tuk, which I really appreciated. However, the location, while convenient to the bus station, was a bit far from the beach, and the mornings could be noisy, so I recommend bringing earplugs.
