We had the warmest welcome from the sweetest staff — they were there for us throughout our entire stay and nothing was ever too much to ask. Our room was spacious, spotless and the bathroom was even more beautiful than expected. The perfect place to pause your trip for a day, relax by the pool and unwind. Far enough from the busy areas to feel peaceful, yet close enough (a short bike ride!) to all the main sights in Anuradhapura. We had both breakfast and dinner at the restaurant and everything was delicious — compliments to the chef. A special shout-out to Janake and the team, who arranged our Wilpattu National Park tour, made sure breakfast packs were ready for our early morning, helped us with tuk-tuks whenever we needed to go into town, and shared great tips for the rest of our trip. All in all, we won’t forget this stay or the incredible hospitality. Truly a place we can wholeheartedly recommend!

The facilities, the staff, but best part about this one is the location, being in the heart of the nature, hearing the sound of the birds, and all the animals, amazing one. All the staff was there ready to help with all our request, recommend for sure. Great breakfast, guys from the staff were always there to cook it fresh for you.

As soon as we went to check in, we were greeted and offered fresh mango juice. All the staff were lovely and the rooms were really spacious and clean. The food was amazing and authentic Sri Lankan food. They were very generous in asking us preferences for each meal. The owner is very generous and offered to take my mom for a massage as well. Overall a very pleasant stay.

We had a fantastic stay at Saplumar Lodge! The location is perfect, making it easy to explore the area. Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The highlight of our stay was the incredible hospitality of our host, Shan. He was always smiling, approachable, and genuinely eager to assist us. His helpful recommendations and local insights made our trip even better. Whether we needed advice on places to visit or just a friendly chat, Shan was always there to help. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great accommodation with outstanding service! Would definitely stay here again.

Pleasant - What previous guests thought, 29 reviews
The welcome and the service that we received were exceptional - unrivalled by any other hotel visited during three weeks in Sri Lanka. The staff were genuinely happy that we were their guest, and they were not afraid to show it. From the moment we arrived, they did everything and more to make sure that we were comfortable. The central courtyard garden lent the hotel an idyllic cosy community feel and allowed us to feel nicely isolated from the bustle of the streets outside. The pool area was scenic, the pool functional, and there were a bunch of sun beds from which to capture the sun as it moved above the tree line. One of us fell ill during our stay. The manager offered to take us to the hospital, assisted us there, and the entire team attended to us tirelessly day after day - including complimentary afternoon tea in our room. Bicycles were available to borrow to get around and see the various fascinating heritage sites - and we'd really recommend using them! Breakfast was predominantly Euro-continental, incredibly generous, and tastier than anything else we had in Sri Lanka outside of 5* hotels. Dinner was tasty too. The menu was diverse and competitively priced. Table service was exquisite. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and secure. The location was great - perfectly situated for exploring town, set back from the road so as to be silent at night, and with quick access to the lake on foot. A beautiful gaggle of peacocks graces the gardens. The hotel arranged our onward travel to Trincomalee in a comfortable car at a competitive price.

Pleasant - What previous guests thought, 20 reviews
I recently stayed at The triangle hotel and was impressed with my overall experience. The hotel’s location was convenient, with several local attractions and dining options within walking distance. The room was clean and comfortable, with modern furnishings and a cozy bed that made for a restful stay. The housekeeping staff did a great job of maintaining the cleanliness throughout my visit. The bathroom was well-equipped with fresh towels and quality toiletries. The front desk staff were friendly and accommodating, quickly addressing any requests or concerns I had. I appreciated the complimentary Wi-Fi and the option to enjoy a delicious breakfast each morning. One minor downside was the noise level from the street, which could be a bit disruptive at times. However, it didn’t detract significantly from my overall experience. For the price, I felt that The triangle hotel offered good value. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and would certainly consider staying here again.

The hotel Heritage in Anuradhapura was located in a very calm and serine environment facing the lake. The hotel premises was well maintained. The friendly service rendered by the hotel staff was beyond our expectations. Our room was clean tidy and spacious. Foods were very fresh and delicious. Mr.Hemantha, the FMB manager welcomed us to the restaurant in a great manner. The way he handled the restaurant staff in order to provide an effective service to the guests was admirable. The CEO, Mr.Sumith Wijesinghe was very friendly and supportive. We witnessed how he personally paid attention to guests by going round tables during meal times and speaking to them very cheerfully. Music at the lake side dinner was amazing. Highly appreciate the efficient service rendered by the hotel under the guidance and supervision of Mr.Wijesinghe. Highly recommend the Hotel Heritage. Hope to stay there again in our next visit to Anuradhapura.

During my stay, the property owner made several inappropriate and judgmental comments about my affordability and my decision to share meals with my mother, who is disabled. His behaviour was rude and discriminatory. After I posted my review describing my disappointment, the owner contacted me directly on my personal mobile number using very abusive and offensive language. This message was completely unacceptable and made me feel unsafe.

Habarana is a small town located at a crossroads and a main road. It is therefore very accessible to other important cities, such as Polonnaruwa, Trincomalee, Dambulla, Anuradhapura, Sigiriya, etc. As well as to the natural parks, which are located nearby. Public transport is perfectly provided. The town has the necessary facilities such as shops, a bank, a post office, a doctor, etc. The beautiful surrounding nature, and easily accessible lakes, are also an advantage.

Anuradhapura is an amazing and spiritual place.

Anuradhapura is an amazing and spiritual place. It's different from the other sites in Sri Lanka because it still attracts so many pilgrims to its religious sites. It's a good idea to dedicate one day to visiting the active pilgrimage sites and the next to the historical sites, for which you need a ticket. Remember to cover up with long trousers and sleeves and don't forget your socks, because the ground is really hot and you have to take off your shoes everywhere. If you have an extra day, you can also return to the sites at night, which is when pilgrims light candles. Make sure you've got the Pick Me app installed and look out for a tuk tuk driver called Nisha. He's absolutely amazing: great driver, kind and attentive and with good English. For dinner, the atmospheric Hotel Shalini is a good bet. The Seedevi family restaurant is another good place. If you want to have a beer, they can put you in a separate 'family' room, or you can go to the tiny 'pub' next door.
