The hotel is set in a romantic garden of coconut palms and has a clean swimming pool big enough to take a few swimming strokes and relax aching legs after a day exploring pagodas and archaeological remains. The room was spacious, nicely decorated, clean, as was the bathroom. The staff is very friendly and tries to ensure a pleasant stay for the guests. There is also a restaurant in the garden, which serves very good breakfast and dinner. We would definitely come back.

This boutique hotel is top notch! So many wonderful details that made this our perfect stay: - 12 different bird sounds recorded during breakfast (we have an app) - Pool beautiful with lovely lounge chairs and shade umbrellas - EXCEPTIONAL FOOD! We ate breakfast lunch and dinner here our entire stay because it was so well done - Fresh cut flowers in the room - Full luscious live plants in the bathroom to mimic the beauty out our front patio - Large fridge and coffee and tea amenities - Luxurious stand alone tub under a sky light was well used by me - Soft full towels and bathmats - Very large room and bathroom which were both SPOTLESSLY CLEAN - CLOSE to everything one travels to Anuradhapura to see; not close to the town, but no need to go to the town - Each unit has its own koi pond with plants But the best of all was the warm and genuine service. Truly a diamond.

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed! Jonti was always attentive, he kept the place clean and tidy, a kind soul to chat with! I enjoyed cooking and sharing food with my roommates, and just chilling out in the common area. Watching animals coming and going in the garden was fun - mongoose, monkey, parrot, Bengali monitor, woodpecker, kingfisher, hornbill, etc. Two minutes walk to the lake for sunrise/sunset. Truly a gem in Anuradhapura!

We were truly grateful for the exceptional assistance provided by the property owner. His efforts in arranging our Wilpattu Safari and city tour guide made our stay even more memorable. The staff also left a lasting impression with their exceptional service. From assisting with our luggage to warmly welcoming us with a choice of coffee or tea, their constant smiles added to the warmth of our experience. The breakfast was not to be missed - every aspect was meticulously prepared, resulting in a delicious and fulfilling meal. We extend our heartfelt thanks for making us feel truly at home, even when we were far away from our own.

It's the best place to stay at Anuradhapura! It's so peaceful and the family is so kind. Best food and always very helpful. You can just spend the whole day at the little pond observing over 25 bird species or ride with the bicycle to the historic sites or walk to the nerby lake for sunset. I even stayed a day longer. The owners just bild a new guestroom which has the most wonderful view where you don't want to leave the bed.

The hosts of this home stay are truly amazing. Very welcoming and helpful. Kanchi is an amazing cook and her husband Mapa an amazing tour guide. He took us for a full day to see Anuradhapura, and we had a lot of fun with him. On top of that, the beds are comfortable and everything seems very clean. Although the location was not that central, for us it didn’t really matter because we were taken by a tour guide to see what we wanted and the city center for us wasn’t that attractive.

Mr. Palitha is very kind and helpful. Along with all the useful recommendations that he provided, he took his time to cook us breakfast before leaving. He has a beautiful family with a lot of stories to tell. After a long day of visiting, we relaxed outside, sitting on his picturesque porch near the lake, the only noise being the sound of nature. The location is clean, close to the city center. You are within walking distance from good restaurants, the lake and ATMs. The Anuradhapura ancient city is also reachable by a short tuk tuk ride.

Mappa is an excellent guide to visit the different temples and sacred place and his wife an excellent cooker. This was one of the best food we had in Sri Lanka.

The room was beautiful, super clean, and the beds are very confortable. The AC is very helpfull as it gets very hot in Anuradhapura in the hotter months. Inside there is this little garden, were you can relax, and a parking place inside (for us was very good since we had our own tuk tuk).
