Kirindi Paddy Isle

The communication from the host after booking is good. Location is not too far from the airport however as my room is very close to kitchen and the room is not noise free so you can pretty much hear everything from people cleaning , cooking , talking as if you are in the same room all the time. ,even my dinner end at 7 pm the cooking for the staff and all won’t end at around 9 which is not good if you really want to rest up and sleep. Apart from that location is good. Surrounding is beautiful. Food is ok I would prefer more traditional Srilankan than they are trying to make western food and not as impressive. Spring roll is over cooked and vegetables soup was not impressive. It also just that they won’t stop cooking for themselves afterward as well until late night and my room would smell. Maybe they should have circulation better and advertise that we can hear everything all the time as sharing space.

I had a wonderful experience at Kindli Paddy Isle. The setting is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by lush paddy fields that create a calm and relaxing atmosphere — perfect for a peaceful getaway or a quiet meal away from the city. The ambiance is thoughtfully designed, blending nature with a cozy, aesthetic vibe. It’s an ideal spot whether you’re catching up with friends or just unwinding. The food was fresh and nicely presented, with a good variety to choose from. Service was excellent, the staff was friendly and attentive, which added to the overall experience. Overall, Kindli Paddy Isle is a great place if you’re looking for good food in a serene environment. Definitely worth a visit!

We stayed at Kirindi before heading to Maldives as it’s close to the airport. It was my husband’s birthday and the staff went above and beyond with a fabulous dinner including fireworks. The property is stunning and the room was gorgeous with a great clean bathroom. Highly recommend. It was a short 15 minute drive to the airport all organised by the staff.

This beautifully appointed two bedroom guesthouse is perfect for a one night Colombo stopover. We were seamlessly picked up and returned to the airport the next morning. On arrival, we were not allowed to touch our bags and instead given a delicious lemony mocktail before being shown into our lovely, large room with large modern bathroom and a terrace overlooking the paddy fields. The house is beautiful in a very peaceful, rural location. I strongly suggest to book the evening meal which was delicious (but wine free) before an early night ready for our travels the next day. Breakfast in the communal space awaited at 7.30 as requested. We were offered cooked options but chose fresh fruit which was served with yoghurt and honey and very good Sri Lankan tea. Zero negatives from us but if you are seeking a place to begin a cultural exploration of Colombo, this is not it. It is incredibly quiet and peaceful in the middle of paddy fields but brilliantly convenient for the airport.

Beautiful quaint place so close to the city. Warm hospitality, superb facilities ,cleanliness and a great host who made it a point to make a visit and introduce himself and to check on the guests caps it all.
