We have not personally stayed at every place on this list. These recommendations came from Tayo Bear customers, friends and other Sri Lankan dog parents who travelled with their doggies.

Their good experience is not automatic permission for your doggy. Every property can change its policy, and some decide according to the doggy, room or booking. Contact the property directly, explain your doggy honestly and receive written approval before paying.

Pet-Friendly Hotels and Villas Recommended by Sri Lankan Dog Parents

This list was shared with us by Tayo Bear customers, friends, family and other Sri Lankan dog parents. We have not personally stayed at every property.

Please contact each place directly before booking. Pet policies change, and a recommendation from another dog parent is not automatic permission for your doggy.
