Water Front Home Stay and Resort

Famiglia gentilissima, colazione e cene molto buone (anche per vegetariani). La camera è semplice ma decente. Ci hanno aiutato a prenotare le bici e anche abbiamo usufruito del loro servizio trasfer per Sigyria. Posizione vicino al lago per una passeggiata serale.

Forse giusto il bagno avrebbe bisogno di aggiustamenti.

Das Zimmer des Homestays ist in hervorragendem Zustand. Sehr bequemes Bett, sehr ruhig. Klimaanlage funktioniert einwandfrei. Das Morgenessen ist hervorragend. Das eigentliche Highlight dieses Homestays ist aber der Host, Wasantha. Wir haben auf unserer 4-wöchigen keine vergleichbare Erfahrung gemacht. Er ist dermassen präsent, auskunftsfreudig und stellt das Wohlbefinden seiner Gäste über alles. Wir buchten das Homestays ca. 4 Stunden vor der Ankunft. Wasantha bot uns sofort an, uns am Flughafen in Colombo zu holen, obwohl es eine etwa 7-stündige Autofahrt für ihn bedeutete. Als wir ankamen, erklärte er uns, welche Aktivitäten wir unternehmen könnten. Er ist spezialisiert auf junge Reisende. Er bot uns jeweils an, eine Tour oder eine Safari über ihn zu buchen. Wir stimmten einigen Vorschlägen zu, andere lehnten wir ab - und das war völlig okay. Er insistierte nicht, sondern gab sich bei den gebuchten Aktivitäten umso mehr Mühe. Am Abend kann man Nachtessen bei ihm und seiner Frau bestellen. Wir hatten grossartige Curries - nach vier Wochen Sri Lanka müssen wir sagen: in den Top 3 aller Curries, die wir gegessen haben. Wir buchten eine Safari über ihn - er brachte uns früh Morgens zu einem Jeep, der uns eine private Tour ermöglichte. Das beste war aber die ausführlichen Gespräche, die wir mit Wasantha führten. Er liebt es, sein Wissen über das Land zu teilen, und es machte wirklich unglaublich Spass, mit ihm zu philosophieren. Er ist ein offenes Buch, transparent, und möchte das beste für seine Gäste. Zudem ist er ein guter Geschäftsmann. Buchen Sie dieses Homestay, sie werden es nicht bereuen.

Il proprietario è molto cordiale e disponibile, tutto ok per il resto.

Nulla di particolare

Homestay Review We had such a wonderful stay at this homestay and genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the whole family was incredibly welcoming, kind and generous. They went far beyond what we expected to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. They helped us organise visits, safaris, drivers and guides, always recommending lovely people and arranging everything at very reasonable prices. It made exploring the area so easy and stress-free, and we really appreciated how much care they put into helping us discover Sri Lanka. We also had breakfast and dinner at their home twice, and honestly, these were some of the best meals we have had during our entire trip in Sri Lanka! The food was delicious, homemade and a wonderful opportunity to experience authentic Sri Lankan cooking. What we especially loved was how genuinely interested they were in sharing their culture and way of life with us. They were always happy to answer our questions, explain local traditions and recommend things to see and do. It made the stay feel much more personal than a typical hotel experience. The room itself was also lovely: comfortable, clean, spacious and equipped with everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip. If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay with a genuinely kind and welcoming family who will help you make the most of your time in Sri Lanka, we would absolutely recommend staying here. We are very grateful for their hospitality and will remember this stay for a long time!

Fantastic helpful and welcoming hosts. Delicious home cooked food. Great communication. Clean quiet and comfortable room.

Sehr freundlicher Empfang, Gepäckaufbewahrung war am nächsten Tag möglich und wir durften sogar noch nach dem auschecken noch einmal duschen Frühstück sehr lecker

Nichts

De eigenaar is super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ook het avondeten bij hem thuis is een aanrader en je kan met hem ook uitstapjes maken. Wij gingen met hem naar Ritigale.

特别好，房间很干净，空调很给力，没有蚊虫，房主特别热心，提供各种服务并且价格公道

打掃徹底 裡外都十分清淨

Der Besitzer ist sehr hilfsbereit und vermittelt einem auf Wunsch zu den ortsüblichen Preisen jede mögliche Aktivität vor Ort. Das angebotene Essen schmeckt hervorragend und hat einen fairen Preis. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt, in einem tollen, sehr sauberen Zimmer. Auch ein Plätzchen für unser Tuktuk stand zur Verfügung.

‘An example for hospitality’. Dat geldt voor de eigenaren. Dat geeft een 5 star experience en familiegevoel bij een relatief basic homestay. Schoon, netjes, lieve mensen en dichtbij een goed restaurant (Palhena). Via de sympathieke eigenaar goede fietsen en een gids georganiseerd; bovendien was hij onze taxichauffeur naar onze volgende stop, Sigiriya. Een aanrader!

Accomodatie is top, maar plaatsje Anuradhapura viel ons wat tegen…

A very nice host, we had home made food there and it was lovely. The owner clearly takes time preparing the great food with local ingredients, some of which grown by his family. The owner was attentive and knowledgeable with great english.

Nothing to dislike. There are food and cafe places nearby, but it isn't in the busy bit of town if that is what you were after.

Fantástico alojamiento, el desayuno muy bueno y completo en la terraza, habitación cómoda y amplia, con dispensador de agua al lado. El dueño muy amable se ocupó de todos los detalles y me proporcionó buenas recomendaciones. Muy recomendable.

Un poco alejado del centro pero el dueño me facilitó los desplazamientos incluso para ir a cenar, esperándome para el regreso.

The whole house was clean and tidy with a beautiful garden. It was in a quiet location and it was perfect for me. I was greeted with a delicious soursop juice on arrival! There was a great restaurant a 10 minutes walk away which understood about gluten free. The room was very comfortable and thank goodness for airconditioning. Wasabtha and his wife were lovely and Wasabtha organised all my tours including driving me to Polonnarawa, picking up a the best guide, driving us around and delivering me to my next accommodation. I was actually sad to leave.

The air-conditioning was a bit noisy, however I didn't care. I was soooo grateful for the air-conditioning because it was so hot.

We stayed for three nights and were very impressed, this is one of the best home stays we've done. The host is very generous with his time and knowledge and was happy to arrange a full day tour to Wilpattu for us through his connections. This was the tour of a lifetime, we cannot recommend it enough. The house itself is very charming. The room is large and comfortable and everything is clean. There are even chairs to lounge in and filtered water. The breakfasts and dinners were also excellent and it was lovely to eat in the courtyard among the lush greenery. Such a nice sample of Sri Lankan home cooking. We're grateful for the hospitality and for making our time in Anuradhapura a highlight for us. We recommend unreservedly.

Pretty much a perfect stay.

Nous avons passé ici un super moment. Le personnel est très sympathique, et le restaurant propose de très bons plats aux épices bien ajustées. Si je suis de retour dans la région, j’y reviendrai.

We stayed two nights at this marvellous homestay, conveniently situated close to one of the city's artificial lakes and to some recommendable restaurants. Apart from our nice, practical, and clean room, it was most notably the owner, Wasantha, and his wife, who made our stay very memorable with their welcoming, friendly and open way of hosting their guests. In a blink of an eye, Wasantha not only helped us to organise a (very recommendable) tour to Wilpattu national park as well as bikes to discover the sacred city of Anuradhapura, but drove us to Sigiriya via Mihintale and Pollonaruwa himself (side note: he is a very safe driver and a super knowledgable, interesting conversational partner. He has also permanently changed the way we view elephants (and the danger they pose)... >> also totally recommendable). Last but not least, Wasantha and his wife are both very gifted chefs, who spoiled us with fantastic Sri Lankan food while we were there. After these enthusiasm, our conclusion is probably not too surprising: If you are staying in Anuradhapura, stay at Water Front Home Stay and Resort!

Diese Unterkunft gehört zu den saubersten und ordentlichsten die wir auf unserer Reise in Sri Lanka erlebt hatten. Der Vermieter, der sehr gut Englisch spricht, ist sehr gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit. Er gibt gerne Auskunft und gibt Empfehlungen zu Restaurants oder Besichtigungen ab. Er bietet selbst Touren an oder vermittelt geeignete Guides. Das Frühstück war sehr gut und ausgiebig. Man kann sich seine Wasserflasche mit Trinkwasser auffüllen. Die Unterkunft liegt in einer ruhigen Straße.

Eine wunderschöne Unterkunft in ruhiger Lage. Super gepflegt, die Zimmer tiptop sauber. Es gab auf Wunsch ein leckeres Frühstück. Die Familie sind so herzliche Gastgeber. Sie leben ihren Job. Das war eine sehr schöne Erfahrung diese Herzlichkeit und Fürsorge zu spüren. Ich kann das hier gar nicht so in Worte fassen. Es war wie ein „nach Hause kommen“! Vielen Dank!!

De eigenaar. De meest vriendelijke man van Sri Lanka. Weet alles over het land, helpt je graag en denkt met je mee. Gastvrijheid en fijn verblijf.

-

Nous très apprécié. Nous sommes restés une journée de plus.

Fijne plek dicht bij het meer, met goede bedden en een heel vriendelijke eigenaresse.

Our home stay has been the best so far during our time in Sri Lanka. Our hosts were so welcoming and willing to help in anyway possible. Breakfasts and dinner were delicious and plentiful. Wasantha and his wife were the ultimate hosts. Wasantha arranged guides and transport as we needed them. When I found out I had left some personal belongings at the previous hotel, Wasantha went out of his way to collect them and posted them to our next destination. Would definitely stay again and can highly recommend.

Nothing

A homestay managed by a helpful professional couple who can also arrange excursions. The 3 rooms are clean and comfortable, with both aircon and fans. Good local meals and a laundry service are available. Credit cards are accepted. The location is quiet and wonderfully verdant. The lakeside walk to the town centre takes about 20 minutes. Recommended for peace and simplicity.

The family is very nice and smile the whole time which coming from Europe is quite inportant

We found the breakfast price quite expensive for the country. It was not included in the rooms price

Hospitalité. Très bon déjeuner et souper. Très attentif à nos demandes. Offre plusieurs services et renseignements. Nous a trouvé un guide/chauffeur en français. Nous a reconduit et servi de guide jusqu’à Puttalam en passant par un village d’une communauté africaine.

Our host family are lovely people who go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. We did a Wilpattu safari organised by our host which was wonderful and he drove us to Jaffna for our next stay. The 4 hour journey flew by as we chatted about Sri Lanka as well as many other subjects. We had dinner twice and breakfast. Both were delicious. We also loved chatting to our host’s daughter who is a lovely young lady. Our room was spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable and it was very peaceful. One item that would be very useful in the room is a rubber mop to clear away the water after showering.

Nothing

Ein schöner entspannter Aufenthalt! Wie von anderen schon beschrieben sehr nette Gastgeber die sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und professionell ihre Gäste bewirten. Obwohl ich keine Leoparden gesehen habe, war die Safari ein tolles Erlebnis. Das angebotene Essen ist definitiv besser als in jedem Restaurant. Hervorragendes WiFi und durch den Garten vor der Tür eine gute Aufenthaltsqualität.

Warum sind hier keine 10 Punkte vergeben??

Lovely house, with front veranda and comfortable room. Owners were so kind and friendly and the breakfast was delicious. Restaurants were close enough to walk to lake is nearby.

Tolles Guesthouse mit sehr freundlichen und hilfreichen Gastgebern. Die Chefin hat ein sehr schmackhaftes Abendessen zubereitet. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Очень уютный небольшой гостевой дом на 3 номера. Приятные хозяева - семейная пара, мы чувствовали себя, как у них в гостях. Комнаты небольшие, но в них все есть для комфортного прибывания - полотенца, чайник, фен, душ с горячей водой, кондиционер. Мы заказывали завтрак - на выбор предлагают ланкийский(рисовая лапша, карри, фрукты) или континентальный (омлет, тосты с маслом и джемом, фрукты). Все было вкусно! Проживание было максимально комфортным.

Ванная комната представляет собой так называемый "деревенский душ", т.е единое пространство душа и туалета. Можно добавить шторку, чтобы не вся поверхность помещения сразу была мокрой.

Prima lokatie en vriendelijke en behulpzame gastvrouw en gastheer.

Douche is zeer matig en alleen lokaal ontbijt serveren valt niet bijiedereen in de smaak

Very lovley homestay in Anuradhapura. Wasante, the owner helped with areanging tours in anuradhapura. Rooms are clean and nice, with mosqito repellent. I can recommend breakfast and dinner at the waterfront homestay. I defenitly will come back here.

Wasantha et son épouse sont très accueillants et gentils.nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez eux. La chambre est très bien et les petits déjeuners et dîners aussi. Ils font extrêmement attention à nous et nous ont bien guidé pour les excursions que l' on a pu faire. Wasantha fait tout pour vous trouver le meilleur guide pour la visite de la ville, ou pour le safari a WILPATTU.

Juste une chose les piqûres de moustiques,,😂eux ne sont pas gentils. Mais la encore Wasantha fait tout pour vous éviter ce désagrément en mettant des anti moustiques sur prises et a faire brûler. Plus sérieusement il n y a rien a redire. Si nous devions revenir au Sri Lanka, sans hésitation nous retournerions les voir.

Lovely family, always here for you and always smiling :) Wasantha drove us to our next destination while telling us stories and tips about the surrounding, it was great! They are planning improvements to the homestay, looking forward to coming back one day 🙏 thanks again Wasantha and the family!

Netjes, schoon en aardige behulpzame eigenaars

Alles was prima

Прекрасный хозяин. Вкусные ужины и завтраки. Номер чистый. Остались только хорошие впечатления от пребывания в этом уютном доме.

Goede kamer, schoon en compleet. Ontbijt in de tuin en was goed en gevarieerd. Zeer aardige familie. Eigenaar weet veel te vertellen over Sri Lanka. Je loopt wel door hun huiskamer naar je kamer. Er zijn grootse plannen voor uitbreiding kamers en bar. Op loopafstand een mooi meer. De eigenaar heeft voor ons de Safari Wilpattu en tempeltour geregeld. Top!!

-

Super aardige mensen en mooi verblijf. Ze regelen alles voor je.Transfer naar Wilpattu deden ze zelf en de jeep met chauffeur hadden ze ook geregeld. Echt een top dag gehad! Eten is ook lekker!

Behalve dat we helaas geen warme douche hadden ondat deze stuk was, was alles helemaal perfect.

Hervorragende Unterkunft in guter Lage. Der Gastgeber und seine Frau waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, sprachen perfektes Englisch. Das Zimmer hatte eine super Größe, war pikobello und sehr sauber. Badezimmer gut, Dusche top. Bett sehr gemütlich; Mückennetz. Das Frühstück wurde frisch zubereitet und war toll, das Abendessen ebenso. Der Gastgeber hat mich am Flughafen in Colombo abgeholt und mich schon auf dem Weg zur Unterkunft mit vielen Infos zu Sri Lanka versorgt. Nach dem Check-out wurde ich mit Zwischenstopps in Mihintale und Dambulla zu meiner Unterkunft nach Sigiriya gebracht. In beiden Fällen waren die Kosten sehr fair. Würde das wieder so machen.

camera ampia e pulita. colazione ottima e abbondante. posizione abbastanza centrale vicino al lago

niente

Colazione ottima e abbondante. Abbiamo anche cenato 2 notti ed era tutto genuino ed eccellente

Very friendly and helpful family, the room was clean and the breakfast very good. We had a great stay!

Wasantha y su familia nos trataron espectacular. Desde el primer momento Wasantha nos ofreció su ayuda y sus contactos para organizar actividades en Anuradhapura. La comida en su casa muy rica. La habitación perfecta para descansar y de buen tamaño. Wasantha es excepcional y se preocupa de que sus huéspedes tengan lo mejor.

Nada!

A great silent place in the city. Hilghly recommended.

Nous avons passé un séjour absolument merveilleux à Anuradhapura. Tout était parfait du début à la fin. La famille est d’une gentillesse incroyable, toujours aux petits soins et très arrangeante, prête à aider à chaque instant. Wasantha nous a fait le plaisir de nous accompagner tout au long de notre séjour, partageant avec nous ses précieux conseils et sa connaissance de la région, ce qui a rendu l’expérience encore plus spéciale et authentique. Nous avons également eu la chance de goûter la délicieuse cuisine de sa femme, un vrai régal et un merveilleux moment de partage. Nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison. Une adresse que nous recommandons les yeux fermés.

ホストのご家族はとても親切で気が利いていました。 食事は細かにリクエストを聞いて作ってくれました。どれもとても美味しく食べきれないほど沢山出て来ました。 ホストのワサンサさんは観光業に長く携わっておられ、どんな些細な要望にもとてもプロフェッショナルに対応してくださいました。ご自身のトヨタの新車でポロンナルワとシギリアまでのタクシーの運転もしてださり、価格も非常に良心的でした。 お部屋は言うまでもなく綺麗でした。 アヌラーダブラに泊まる際は1番のお勧めの宿です。

沢山蚊がいましたが、すぐに蚊取り線香を用意していただきました。

A true home stay tucked away in a quiet residential street. We were warmly welcomed by our hosts who went out of their way to assist us with tours, transport and meals. Our rooms were clean and spacious with en-suite shower rooms, AC and ceiling fan. The outside terrace is a lovely place to eat, relax, read. We appreciated the delicious breakfasts and evening meals - all home cooked and very good value. Highly recommend staying here if visiting Anuradhapura - you will enjoy great hospitality!

Great homestay with a delicious dinner and breakfast. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Wasantha and his family are lovely! The stay was comfortable, we had dinner one evening, it was exceptional. Wasantha arranged a scooter for us so we could explore, and drive us to our next location in Sigriyia.

Very kind hosts and great breakfast

I choose homestays to experience local culture and connect with families, but here I experienced the exact opposite. The owner never introduced me to his family, I had to introduce myself to his wife. Overall, his attitude lacked transparency and seemed driven purely by money. He tried to sell me excursions at inflated prices, claiming the guide was “highly sought-after.” He then put me in an uncomfortable situation with this guide, to the point that I decided to organize a tour on my own. I quickly found another tour through another hotel at a fair price, without any issues. The most serious issue was lying: breakfast was never prepared on either of the two days. The excuse was that, due to the cyclone, there was no “hygienic food available,” while he was eating every day with his family and hosting people at home, and hiding behind this terrible excuse because his wife was busy and he probably didn’t want to cook. In Sri Lanka, even very simple accommodations are offering generous breakfasts, I am traveling 1 month around after cyclone and this explanation was clearly a lie and completely unacceptable!!! You CANNOT use such a bad happening to hide yourself. Karma will teach this man he should not behave this way. Other promises were not kept: he said he would heat up my dinner (which I had bought myself) for breakfast, as I tried to be practical, but he did not do it until I reminded him. He also said he would take me to Sigiriya, but instead took someone else. The room itself is nice, but there is no privacy: the rooms open onto the entrance, and there are always his friends coming in and out. You always have to keep the curtains closed so it’s basically a bunker. However, the real problem is not the house, but the owner’s behavior — greedy and disrespectful toward tourists and using a terrible happening, the cyclone, to justify himself.

I do not recommend spending money at this homestay, I visited others in the city and there are so many better options with super kind hosts. Hospitality is not about appearances; it is about honesty, care, and consistency — all of which were missing here. I really had a hard time being treated like this with no reason.

Hier is een tegenovergestelde review in netjes, geloofwaardig Nederlands – positief, rustig van toon Mijn ervaring in deze homestay was juist heel positief. Tijdens mijn verblijf was er ook een Spaanse dame aanwezig, maar haar verwachtingen vond ik eerlijk gezegd behoorlijk onrealistisch, zeker gezien de omstandigheden in die periode. De eigenaar was zeer vriendelijk, betrokken en zichtbaar begaan met zijn gasten. Hij deed echt zijn best om het ons zo comfortabel mogelijk te maken en dacht continu mee. Door de overstromingen en de nasleep daarvan heeft hij open en eerlijk uitgelegd waarom hij tijdelijk geen ontbijt kon verzorgen. Dat vond ik juist getuigen van transparantie en verantwoordelijkheid, niet van onwil. In plaats daarvan gaf hij ons veel goede tips: over plekken om te eten, betaalbare tours, wat wel en niet verstandig was na de overstromingen en hoe je het meeste uit je verblijf kon halen. Zijn adviezen waren oprecht, lokaal en absoluut niet gericht op eigen gewin. Integendeel: hij wilde vooral dat we een fijne en veilige tijd hadden. De sfeer in huis was warm en gastvrij. Je merkt dat hij het beste met zijn gasten voorheeft en dat hij trots is op zijn omgeving. Juist in een periode waarin alles niet vanzelfsprekend is, vond ik zijn inzet en vriendelijkheid extra waardevol. Kortom: een eerlijke, zorgzame host met het hart op de juiste plek, die onder moeilijke omstandigheden bleef meedenken en helpen. Ik zou hier zonder twijfel opnieuw verblijven en kan deze homestay zeker aanbevelen

Clean rooms, AC (necessary in Anuradhnapura because of high temperatures), good bed, mosquito net (I did not use it). Good restaurant with nice vibe and very nice food at 800 meters. (Palhena). Small supermarket at 300 meters. Mr Wassa arranged a safary to Willpattu for me and found another traveller to share costs; we had a very good day (2 times leopard, bear, barking deer, several large birds including an eagle and a hornbill, loads of water birds and some crocodiles). Mr. Wassa also arranged a guide for me, mr Lalith, who is very knowledgeable about the history of Anuradhnapura (much more so than most other tourist guides, so if you are a history nerd, choose hum).Note that the lake is not visible from the accommodation.

This is Sri Lanka, and the accommodation is a ground floor building, meaning that sometimes you encounter some animals in your room. Not a big problem, but adjust your expectations. The AC was a bit loud.

Wasanta fue súper atento y nos cuidó muy bien

We hebben erg genoten van ons verblijf in deze mooie home stay. De kamer is erg schoon en comfortabel en de locatie is erg goed. Het is leuk dat je dichtbij het meer zit, want je kunt hier makkelijk een rondje omheen lopen. Zo zie je veel natuur en zie je bovendien hoe mensen werken en leven in de stad. Wat ons het meest beviel is de gastvrijheid van de eigenaren. Ze doen er alles aan om je op je gemak te voelen. Wasantha is een slimme man die je veel kan vertellen over de mooie kanten van Sri Lanka, maar ook over het minder mooie verleden van het land. Het is waardevol om hier ook iets over te leren. Wij konden dit erg waarderen. We raden iedereen aan om te dineren en ontbijten bij dit verblijf. De Sri Lankaanse gerechten waren heerlijk, bovendien voor een goede prijs. Wij raden iedereen aan om hier te verblijven!

Perfect little place in Anuradhapura, with all the facilities you need!

NA

We loved the stay at the Water front home stay! Spacious room, comfy bed, very clean, and super helpful staff. The location is 15min with the tuktuk from the historic centre and 30min from Mihintale temple. The home stay is family run and you can feel that from the service they offer. We got advice for the rest of our trip, they washed our clothes, we got to learn some Sinhala from the family (the wife of the owner is a teacher) and even a mini lesson on starting the Tuktuk engine ! The food was also really tasty and they had great coffee and tea (which is not always the case)! We got every day offered different local delicacies as breakfast and everything was homemade to perfection. We highly recommend this place!

Els amfitrions són molt amables. El senyor és guia turístic i t informa de tot el que necessitis. El lloc és molt tranquil, sense sorolls i està molt net.

Una mica allunyat del centre però amb un supermercat aprop

Logement propres

Fijne accommodatie. Kamer schoon en comfortabel. Het personeel is heel attent en behulpzaam. Traditioneel diner erg lekker. Zeer goed geholpen bij het regelen van een tempel tour en safari naar Wilpattu NP. Aanrader!

Airco beetje gehorig.

Vriendelijke mensen. De eigenaar is ook een hele fijne chauffeur, hij heeft ons veel over de geschiedenis en politiek van Sri Lanka verteld. Voor de rest een prima, nette kamer. We voelden ons welkom en zouden zeker terugkomen!

Niets

Posto incantevole e la gentilezza dei proprietari ha reso questo soggiorno, purtroppo di 1 sola notte, davvero confortevole. La stanza grande e accogliente, il letto perfetto e il bagno spazioso e comodo; fuori dalla camera un portico che affaccia direttamente sul giardino, pieno di fiori e piante. Zero insetti e zanzare. Nessun rumore, super tranquillo! Alla sera abbiamo cenato presso l'hotel e come la colazione, tutto era ottimo: ci hanno fatto la cortesia di cucinare non troppo piccante, ma comunque con i sapori tradizionali. Menzione speciale alle lenticchie!!!

Wir hatten sehr angenehme Tage in der Unterkunft. Das Essen war vielfältig und sehr lecker! Die Gastgeber waren sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Uns wurden Ausflüge Angeboten und organisiert. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt.

Big and clean room. Some ants and mosquitos were in the room, but this did not bother us. The food was so tasty and delicious. The family that runs the accommodation is just so lovely, friendly, and polite. They really care about their guests. I can 💯 recommend this accommodation if you are in Anuradhapura.

We liked all.

De gastvrijheid van de gezellige host aan wie je alles kon vragen en ons veel heeft verteld over Sri Lanka. Lekker ontbijt ook!

Niets!

Tot, el propietari és encantador i molt bon xofer. Sap moltíssimes coses i et porta a llocs únics.

Schöne Unterkunft. Die Gastgeber haben sehr lecker gekocht und haben uns mit Tips für unseren Urlaub versorgt. Dieses homestay kann ich gerne weiterempfehlen.

This homestay is AMAZING. The room was big, clean and cozy. AC and fan worked perfectly. There was a nice lobby and a very peaceful front garden. Homemade traditional breakfast and lunch were also incredible. But the best part? Wasantha's hospitality!! He is always ready to help in anything you need, he will answer any questions you may have (even before or after leaving the homestay!) and he is willing to teach you about Sri Lanka's language and culture. He also arranged for us a full day safari in Wilpattu (we saw 4 leopards!!) and a tour in Anuradhapura. He is fully transparent with the prices and conditions and gives the best advice. In addition, he only works with tuktuk drivers and safari guides that he personally knows or that he knows have both the experience and values to make the best out of your day. If we ever go back to Anuradhapura, we will for sure repeat at his homestay!!!!

Everything was amazing!

Fantastic nice people and delicious food

Cena e colazione buonissime! Super consigliato, il proprietario è molto gentile e disponibile sempre pronto a dare buoni consigli!

El hombre que lleva el alojamiento es un encanto y habla inglés muy bien (cosa bastante poco habitual en Sri Lanka). Los desayunos super auténticos, los mejores que hemos probado en nuestro viaje. El apartamento está muy limpio. Nos trataron genial, sin duda lo recomiendo.

Está un poco anticuado en general, le vendría bien un poco de renovación de mobiliario, pero aún así no me parece un problema. Hay muchas hormigas en la habitación, por tanto si tienes planeado llevar comida contigo puede ser un problema.

The hosts were incredible. We spoke with them a lot, and they gave us so very good tips for the rest of our trip. The owner also drove us to Trincomalee for a good price. The breakfast is very yummy, we loved the dahl

Chambre très propre Petit déjeuner en terrasse, très bon et très copieux. Notre hôte était très gentil, très à l'écoute, véritablement aux petits soins. Notre hôte a organisé pour nous un safari au parc national Wilpattu. Il a proposé ce safari à un autre couple ce qui a permis de partager le coût de la jeep. Tout était très bien organisé, nous avons vraiment passé une excellente journée. Notre hôte organise également des visites d'Anuradhapura mais nous n'avons pas fait appel à lui car nous avions préalablement contacté un guide.

Rien Tout était parfait

The owners were very welcoming and shared some very useful tips and information about Sri Lanka, relevant to our trip. We had an evening meal at the property and it was really delicious, some vegetables came from their garden and the rice was from his own field. The breakfasts were also very good. The room was pleasant and very clean and the bed was comfortable, It had a mosquito net, which was great for us. We had a view of their lovely garden from our room. Wasantha was extremely helpful and he drove us to our next destination, stopping at the Dambulla caves, which were stunning. It was a very comfortable journey and it was reasonably priced. We felt we were well looked after by the family.

The ceiling fan was noisy and there was no facility for hanging clothes. However, we mentioned it to Wasantha and he said he would address those small issues.

De mensen zijn super aardig en behulpzaam! Super lieve familie 😊

Il proprietario ci ha accolto con molta gentilezza nonostante il nostro ritardo (non voluto) sull'orario concordato per l'arrivo. Ci ha fatto trovare un'ottima cena e si è subito messo all'opera per offrirci il miglior servizio per la nostra permanenza trovandoci un ottimo driver di tuk tuk che ci ha fatto anche da guida. Nonostante ci abbia proposto diversi servizi non ci siamo mai sentiti pressati per accettare, cosa che abbiamo apprezzato molto. Anche la colazione tipica è stata ottima. La camera era spaziosa e molto pulita.

Heel fijn verblijf! Zeer gastvrije mensen. Ze zorgden voor lekker eten en hielpen ons bij het boeken van verschillende uitstappen in de omgeving.

Seh hilfsbereite und freundliche Gastgeber Vielfälltiges und grosses Frühstück Unterkunft sauber

Leider einuge Ameisen im Bad

Really loved our stay with this homestay. The owner and his family were very friendly and welcoming when we arrived and during our stay. They really tried to make the best out of our experience with giving lots of tips about the surroundings. We also had diner and breakfast here for 2 nights. Both were very nice and you could really taste they were made with love, and most of the ingredients were made with own produce. The accommodation was also very clean and taken good care of. I can recommend this stay to anyone visiting Anuradhapura!

Only the bed an pillows were a bit hard, but that is more personal preference :).

Ottima posizione e pulizia

Netjes, vriendelijke eigenaar

had verwacht echt aan het water te zitten, maar was 5 min lopen

The family was the most lovely part of the property. So amazingly kind and welcoming. Was so helpful when I got poisoning and even spoke to his doctor for me. My girlfriend had the breakfast and said it was delicious! Loved the sweet onion and potatoes!
