I’m planning a trip to Sri Lanka in 2025 and will be spending a few days in Colombo before heading to Kandy. I’m considering booking Airbnbs instead of hotels because I prefer a homely vibe and sometimes it’s more affordable. However, I’m a bit unsure about how reliable and safe they are in Sri Lanka.
Has anyone here stayed in Airbnbs in Colombo or Kandy recently? Were the listings accurate in terms of cleanliness, facilities, and location? How safe are these areas for tourists, especially if I’m returning late at night? Also, do Airbnbs in Sri Lanka usually provide basics like Wi-Fi, breakfast, or help with transport?
Would you recommend going with Airbnb over mid-range hotels or guesthouses, or is it better to stick with traditional accommodation for peace of mind? Any tips on what to look out for when booking an Airbnb in Sri Lanka would be super helpful. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
