Perfect for staying when arriving or leaving Sri Lanka. Mark the owner, is a very friendly, helpful man. After many years experience, he can advise and help on any aspect of your stay in Sri Lanka. The rooms are very clean.

The Staff is probably one of the most friendly we have seen so far in our 10 months travelling worldwide.I booked this place through hostelbookers.

Dear Mark ,
I did not manage to contact you before we left and now want to thank you for all that you did for us during our stay in Sri Lanka . Everything worked well and we had the additional bonus of your pleasant company . Our driver guide whom you arranged for us Mr.Dennis was an excellent choice and we had a good five days with him .
with best wishes , Jason

Dear Mark,

thank you so much for your e-mail and your thinking of us.
Yes, we are at home - finally. Everything on our way back went very smooth and perfect, although we were rather tired after 26 hours travel from Negombo to our home town Soest.
We got the dog back yesterday. She stayed with friends during our holiday - and is as hungry as she always is and only dogs can be :-)) So, everything is normal.
It is cold here outside - in Sri Lanka it was sometimes too hot for us, but you are never fully content with weather, are you.

We thought and talked a lot about you during the last days and what a very nice person you are. YOU made us a perfect start into our Sri Lanka-holidays. You prepared a perfect four-day-tour with Denis (give him our best wishes and regards !!) and we got very interesting impressions of your country.
So, to make the holidays "a round thing", we were glad to have the last days again in your house.

You did such a lot good things for and to us !! Even Andrea enjoyed every minute of our stay !! Ha,ha !!
(We left her at your´s - so, take good care of her !!)

It is good to know, that there is somebody far away, who really cares !! Thank you !!

Our thoughts are with you, your family, house and staff,

best wishes and warm regards to you from
Uli and Dani

My family and I (4 of us) stayed at Ocean view in December 2009 for few days. Mark, the owner also arranged us a 8 day/7 night tour with an excellent driver named Denis Lowe . I recommend the Ocean view guest house to a prospective visitor as a pleasent inexpensive place to stay in Negombo. Mark and his staff, especially Shantha, are very frindly and try their best to fulfil your requests.

Fabulous Guest House in Negombo. The owner is just wonderful, the staff are courteous without being in your face which seems to happen a lot to solo women travelers in Negombo. The rooms are huge and clean and quiet, the water pressure gave me the best shower in months. I totally recommend this place as a sanctuary in Negombo for solo women travelers. He also makes great food if you ask and has WiFi
