Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed for 6 days in the Resort and had a wonderful time. The rooms a very big. We had a suite but even the regular rooms are very big. All rooms have a different colour. Very unique We did from the Resort some excursion - daily trips. To the beach is maybe 10 minutes walking and to the restaurants 8 minutes walking distance. In the area are plenty restaurants. Danu & Hursha are wonderful people so the rest of the team. Helping to organise a driver for our tours . We had Conrad. Organising massages and whatever you need. The resort is clean and the garden is beautiful. No complaints at all. Don´t miss the afternoon sunset tour in the Lagoon with Captain Fernando. thanks to all of the Dickman Team. We had a great time Frank

As previously noted this is an exceptional well maintained little oasis in Negombo .. secluded while very close to everything one would want on a vacation. Short taxi ride from the main airport .. the beach is a very short walk away, lots of very nice restaurants and bars nearby but the best part are the people that work there .. everything is done with a smile. I stayed for six days at the beginning of my vacation in the Pink Room .. very clean nice size with a balcony overlooking the pool. The breakfast was one of the best I had in Sri Lanka .. they also make a great Gin & Tonic 🤩. Looking forward to my next stay.

We have just left the Dickman Resort after staying for our 1st 2 nights in Sri Lanka. Originally, we weren't going to stay in Negombo, we were going to head straight to Kandy, but we didn't fancy a 2 1/2 hour transfer after 10hour flight. However, we are really pleased that we did. The Dickman Resort is a lovely (very small) hotel, very very clean, with large comfortable beds, a good shower and delicious breakfast. All the staff were really friendly and helpful, we would definitely recommend if you are looking to relax for a couple of days before exploring Sri Lanka - or at the end of your holiday if you want to be close to the Airport for your return home.

Very comfortable and very clean boutique hotel in Sri Lankan style, within short walk of beach, shops and restaurants. I was in the Purple Room, a large, well-equiped room with a comfortable big bed and great air-con. Great staff; very friendly and super attentive. Lovely pool and gardens. Let the staff book local trips rather than doing it online. I‘d definitely stay here again.

Had a magnificent time at this resort. From the welcome to the departure, I was impressed with the attention to detail and incredible service from Damith and the whole team. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place to be. Tranquil, friendly and luxurious. Nothing is too much for the staff. Thanks for another wonderful stay.

We started a three week trip in Sri Lanka with four nights here and it was a great decision. The hotel is beautifully decorated and the rooms we had were immaculate and so spacious. The staff are beyond wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble and they are all truly warm and friendly people. Still have not had a better breakfast in Sri Lanka since we left! As it’s adults only it has a very chill vibe which was a perfect way to start a group trip with friends from all over the world. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

We had the pleasure of staying 4 wonderful nights in this boutique hotel in Negombo. Location is perfect, a block inland from the main street, so very peaceful. Staff are a true highlight, with top class service in every respect, starting with the excellent breakfast service and continued throughout the day around the pool and hotel grounds. Breakfast is excellent, with fresh fruit and a choice of main dishes such as omlettes and scrambled eggs with toast. Pool area is amazing with plenty of both sun and shaded loungers. Just 15 mins from the main international airport (CMB) so the perfect hotel to begin or end your time in Sri Lanka! Rooms are very comfortable, with full air-conditioning, TV, tea & coffee making facilities and a hairdryer. Wifi network also very strong and reliable. Highly recommended!!!

Dickman resort is a real gem in Negombo. Beautifully designed garden and amazing rooms. We stayed in the Mango suite which was absolutely the nicest we have stayed in in Sri Lanka. (all rooms have different themes) Biggest, most comfortable bed, coffee machine, large TV with movie channel, lovely shower and good wifi... The pool outside the door was lovely and the sunbeds comfortable. The staff were pleasant, knowledgeable and very service minded. The breakfast is not good. 100 m away was the beach promenade with all the hustle and bustle, but at the resort it was quiet and nice. We will choose this hotel more times.

Best way to start your trip in Sri Lanka. We stayed three nights to acclimatize and felt immediately on holiday. The first day we didn't leave the amazing pool on our doorstep. Warm staff who looked after us brilliantly. What a welcome to Sri Lanka. We did a tour of Colombo for a day organised from here.
