Beautiful propertyExceptional service
TazetdinovaRussian FederationВсе было замечательно. Прекрасное уединенное место. Мы находились там одни. Навигатор не вел нас, но встретил работник и помог найти дорогу.
ChrisUnited KingdomBeautiful but the extras bill will sting
It's a beautiful villa. And only 15-20mins from the airport so a good first or last night hotel.
They totally fleece you on the food and drink. £6 bottle of waters and 10% service applied to everything.

Does Uga Riva - Negombo allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Uga Riva - Negombo have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Uga Riva - Negombo have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Uga Riva - Negombo?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 1:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Uga Riva - Negombo?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
