Have stayed here on many previous occasions and keep coming back. This occasion was marred by music on the beach side of the property which did not stop until past midnight. This certainly disturbed our sleep before an early morning flight. Otherwise, recent renovations have improved bathrooms and AC. Decent breakfast. Lovely location on the beach with good pool. Still too expensive for category, yet we keep coming back as very near to airport and on the beach. Food outlets plentiful on the street outside. Did find staff rather sheepish compared to previous stays over the last decade. I believe that there has been a recent change in management and the adjoining Don's Beach Hotel has separated from the Golden Star Beach Hotel.

Well positioned Hotel, relatively close to the airport, tour guides, shops, and restaurants. Right on the beach. Room cleaning staff, food preparation and service staff were great, reception staff were not so great - not knowing much or appearing distracted. All most all staff eager to help. My room was quiet, with thick walls, ceiling and floors. Air-conditioner essential for comfort and worked well as well as being quiet. Room clean but a little bit dated, bathroom big with marble appearance tiles. Pool was popular for others, the water appeared green to me. Hawkers selling their wares on the beach were annoying, and security didnt do much to stop them. Took about three occasions saying No thank you before they would leave you alone.

The hotel was fair for the price & is very close to the beach.It is not a luxury hotel by any stretch, however, it is appealing from the outside and is of a fair condition inside.Good service, however we struggled to find the hotel as the sign that reads ‘Golden Star Beach Hotel’ is engraved into a rock that is not illuminated, so we actually drove past the hotel thinking it was a different hotel.

I have stayed here on many occasions over the years and am always taken by the tranquil location/environment beside the sea yet with multiple eateries in the near locality. Access to the airport is easy as is a trip by bus to the city of colombo. No issues with the hotel itself either. However the hotel used to offer free WiFi throughout but this has now stopped. Breakfast was fine but outside breakfast, food is expensive for the category of hotel.

Rats in the room, bad really slow service & we got sick of the food, but the staff didn't seem to care. It was mild in the room behind the paintings hanging on the wall. So many minus ---- stayed here before, but this is the last time...

Despite the negative reports I booked this hotel. It turns out the negative reports are all true. This hotel needs to be avoided along with a stack of other hotels in the negombo area. They are just interested in taking your money there is no after sales support. This hotels idea of air conditioning is simply having a air conditioner it does not matter if it does not work. If you book this hotel you do yourself in

Old & rundown with dodgy plumbing, poor air conditioning, no mini bar/fridge as stated, got told at 7 pm at the restaurant hotel to pick something other than chicken curry as it would take too long. As it was i was the only customer & it took 30 mins for my bland chicken noodles. My room had no screen in the bathroom so mosquitoes were getting in. Staff dont pass on information to other staff. Was told i could stay in the room then told i had to move the next day. Next time ill stay elsewhere.. only stayed here because Intrepid tour starts here. Shocking choice for intrepid considering what they charge for the tour. Only good things were the pool and the location on the beach.

This is a reasonable hotel for a few days. Good beach, fair breakfast. You have to play 'hunt the signal' for WiFi, but it works in the end.

At first we were given room with two singles pushed together- we booked double. The shower was mouldy and smelled as if used as toilet. The A/C just worked -not great.We were given another room - much better but when had shower , the bathroom flooded - but lived with that.The breakfast was fine but restaurant food was way overpriced and limited choice.The pool bar was good and friendly staff helped, though again quite pricey.

Fair for the price, but it would have been better if the air conditioning had worked properly. It is right on the beach, but there is not much nearby of any interest.

This hotel is good for a couple of nights. I arrived straight from the airport for 2 nights before I started a tour of Sri Lanka. The room was large and clean. I didn't go into the sea but spent my time by the pool which was very good. Buffet breakfast was good - eggs made to order and various other options available. I had just arrived after a long flight, so wasn't in the mood to do much exploring. After my tour, realised Negombo is the best place to stay instead of Colombo after/before a flight - being near the airport!

The first room I was shown I was shocked by its shabby condition. It was more like some backpackers accomodation. I asked for another room which they obliged me with. It was better but still the worst hotel I had in my four weeks of travelling in Sri Lanka. It's location is fantastic, the pool and dining room are ok but the rooms need several millions of dollars for refurbishing.
I had to change the fridge plug for the a TV plug as there was only one power point in that area.
The staff were lovely too but I ended up leaving two days sooner than I had booked for because of the condition of the room and the facilities.

We stayed at Golden Star Beach Hotel for just one night in September. I paid $150 for two adjoining rooms which included breakfast. I think it was worth the money. My family of four had adjoining rooms. Though the ac in one room was not working at full capacity, the rest of the room was clean and acceptable. The breakfast buffet which was included with our hotel stay was very good quality and has a lot of variety. One thing that was extremely notable was the service we got. All hotel staff was highly professional and friendly, especially Mali from the front desk. The beach is just steps away from the hotel and overall the hotel and room is in good condition. I would recommend this hotel to my friends for it is worth the money.

We stayed in this hotel 3 separate times. The 1st was disappointing as we were placed in an adjacent block and our shower drain was blocked. This was dealt with but the man left the bathroom very dirty.
The other stays were fine as a place to head for from the airport or before flying out, but as a beach hotel the beach lets it down. They keep their patch pretty clean but much of the beach is very littered.
