Wild View Stay

Chambre propre, environnement très reposant. Les hôtes sont adorables, je recommande 1000 fois!

The price was excellent for what was offered, and the breakfast was very good and satisfying. The owner was extremely kind and friendly, and even offered us tea for free, which really showed how genuinely welcoming he was.

The room was quite small, but considering the price, it is difficult to complain. It was neat, clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

It was very nice stay, friendly staff, comfortable room.

I stayed here for 3 nights, and although the room rate includes breakfast, the quality of the food was very disappointing throughout my stay. The breakfast provided on all 3 days was not good at all. On the last day, they served Pol Roti, which was completely burnt and black. Considering the overall price of the stay, the breakfast service is definitely not up to standard and needs serious improvement.

The room was simple but exceptionally clean and comfortable. The AC worked really well, the linen was clean and fresh, and the surroundings were peaceful and leafy. I also really enjoyed the homemade breakfast. The hosts were a lovely couple, and went out of their way to help me, including booking me a bus back home.

Prijazno osebje, udobne postelje, topel tuš. Čudovit vrt, ki obdaja gostišče. Odlična večerja.

Nekoliko dotrajana kopalnica.

Sehr ruhige und komfortable Unterkunft, mitten in der Natur. Abends kann man sogar Elefanten im Garten hören. Nette Gastgeber, sehr bemüht. Organisieren Ausflüge in den Nationalpark oder Rollerverleih.

Nice and calm homestay, really worth it. The food was insane and thanks to the hosts Thishara and Menu who were very friendly and close, they helped us a lot! Milesker!

Die Besitzer waren unglaublich freundlich, zuvorkommend, liebevoll und gastfreundlich und waren grundsätzlich am lächeln und sehr hilfsbereit. Betten waren sehr bequem und es war sehr sauber. Frühstück und Abendessen wird vor Ort frisch zubereitet und schmeckt köstlich. Portion ist gut.

Ein Moskitonetz in den Zimmer wäre super, der Ventilator ging entweder nur auf volle Pulle oder nur sehr wenig, was doof war, wenn man die super funktionierende Klimaanlage nicht mag. Der Essbereich unten wimmelt von Mücken am Abend und machte das Genießen des leckeren Abendessen unmöglich, wir konnten nicht aufessen. Da muss etwas gemacht werden. Für Fried Rice und Rice und Curry wurde 4000RS berechnet, finde ich etwas frech, wenn man bedenkt das wir deren Gäste sind und im Ort dasselbe um die 1500RS gekostet hätte.

Los dueños son muy amables, nos ayudaron a conseguir transporte para los lugares que queríamos visitar y siempre estaban dispuestos a ayudar

Si bien nos dieron cena (pago aparte), el menú siempre fue el mismo (aunque también tenemos en cuenta que pudo ser un problema de comunicación), la cama tenía un olor extraño a algún químico pero no era tan incómodo

Parfait, emplacement idéal dans la nature dans la région, juste à côté de Sigirya. Surtout la maison est très confortable, notamment le lit et toute la famille a été très attentionnée ! Nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps

Rien

Like others have said, the food was fantastic! The bed was comfortable and the room sufficient. It's not a luxurious stay, of course, but there's absolutely no denying the value for money here. For the price I paid, the rating can only be top tier. I stayed six nights, as Habarana makes a great starting point for Sigiriya, Polannaruwa and safaris in nearby nature reserves. Thushara made arrangements for me to get to all three of these, and at great prices. The wifi was sketchy, but that's the norm for the whole island, I'm finding. It's fine for looking up info on the Web, but if you're dealing with high-res photos and such, you'll be waiting a while for the task to finish. If what you are after is good value, I have a hard time believing you'd find better than Wild View Stay in the area.

There's not much in the immediate area of Moragaswewa. Meaning there aren't a lot of options for walking to restaurants and whatnot. That's fine, as eating there at the property makes a lot of sense. As someone that tends to prefer more urban stays, this felt a bit far away from things. But that's part of what makes it such a good access point for all of the other activities.

Beautiful and quiet place. Amazing breakfast and the hosts helped and kind like nowhere else we stayed so far. Easy starting point to visit Sigiriya and Badulla .

La sympathie de l’hôte et ses précieux conseils. La nourriture était excellente.

Rien.

Breakfast was amazing. You get to try local home made food. And the surroundings are very nice.

Nagyon tiszta volt, rendes. Tágas ágy :) csendes nyugodt környezet. Kifejezetten ízletes volt a vacsora, mind 3 éjszaka ott ettem. Rendkívül segítőkészek voltak minden tekintetben. Amikor megérkeztem, említettem hogy még a ruháimat el kell vinnem valahova mosodába, és Thushara azt mondta megoldja, bízzam rá. Mielőtt távoztam mondtam, másnap megyek Kalpitiya-ba elég messze, bár nincs sofőröm. Azt mondta intéz nekem, és valóban másnap ott volt a sofőr pickme ár alatt. Nagyon hálás vagyok nekik, köszönök mindet. Csak ajánlani tudom ezt a nagyszerű megbízható Sri Lankai otthont :)

Az elején probléma volt a víznyomással, de hamar orvosolták a helyzetet és megoldódott minden.

Lekker eten en hele vriendelijke mensen. Gewoon een prima verblijf voor 1 of 2 nachten. Lekker eten en ontbijt!

Outstanding host and very nice place. Loved it!

Sehr gastfreundliche Gastgeber. Die Unterkunft war sauber. Vor allem das Essen hat uns sehr gefallen (Frühstück und Abendessen). Seher hilfreich auch in Planung von Aktivitäten.

Una casa bellissima immersa nel verde e nella quiete di una frazione di Habarana, lontano dai rumori delle strade. Il giardino è meraviglioso, e spesso tra la varietà di piante puoi trovare pavoni o camaleonti in visita. Le stanze sono piccole, ma funzionali, con condizionatore e adattatore per le varie prese di ricarica. Bagno privato piccolo, ma dotato di doccia calda. Per ultimo, la nota migliore: Tushara e sua moglie, due padroni di casa cortesi e sorridenti che ti fanno sentire in famiglia e offrono colazioni e cene tipiche memorabili, oltre a farsi in quattro per organizzare trasporti e safari. Un gioiellino per chi cerca quiete e relax e vuole vivere il calore e l'accoglienza dello Sri Lanka.

We gave a 10/10 because our stay was amazing! The house is beautiful, the room spotless, and the garden feels like a tropical jungle. Breakfast and dinner were delicious, prepared with local products that allowed us to discover the authentic flavors of Sri Lankan cuisine. A huge thank you to Thushara, our host, for his kindness and his incredible help in organizing our visits (Sigiriya, Dambulla, and a safari in Minneriya). Thanks to him, we fully enjoyed our stay in Habarana. We truly loved this experience and highly recommend this place! Thank you so much, Thushara!

Delicious breakfast, super friendly staff and good value for money.

A/C was a bit loud.

Die Gastgeber waren sehr, sehr freundlich und haben uns sehr bei unserem Aufenthalt unterstützt, sie haben Tuk Tuks für uns organisiert und auch eine Safari für uns gebucht. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Sowohl Frühstück als auch Abendbrot.

Das einzige, was uns nicht so gefallen hat, war das Badezimmer… Es war alles vorhanden, aber in einem mittelmäßigen Zustand. Aber aufgrund des Preises absolut vertretbar.

Stayed at this great location for four nights. The host is very hospitable, arranged transport to and from Colombo airport (Badaranaike International). He also arranged three wonderful trips in the area for a good price: a wildlife safari, Singria/Dumbulla and Little village tour. They are highly recommended. The hostess is a wonderful cook, I had very tasty meals during my stay!

I had a wonderful experience at Wild View Stay! The host was incredibly welcoming and made sure I felt comfortable from the moment I arrived. The stay itself was pretty good — the place has a nice vibe and offers a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The only small suggestion I have is that the Wi-Fi could be a little better, but overall it didn’t take away from the great experience. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy and friendly stay!

The food prepared for dinner by the host was excellent and the host was very nice and helped us book the safari and transfer for the next day. It is a basic accomodation without having any high expectations. In my opinion I will prefer to pay a higher price to have a better room and bathroom.

The bathroom was very outdated, water pressure was really really slow like droplets of water in the sink, the garden which has very nice reviews we found it not so well maintained.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My stay at this place was absolutely spectacular. The food was incredibly delicious — authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. Every meal was a highlight. I highly recommend it. The location is perfect if you're looking to experience the real rural side of Sri Lanka, far from the tourist crowds. You’ll find beautiful rice fields, jungle roads, and plenty of wild elephants. The best way to explore the area is definitely by tuk-tuk — it lets you soak in the surroundings and connect with the locals. A truly special and authentic experience. I would come back without hesitation.

The hotel owner was super nice and helpful. We asked him about safaris in the different national parks around and he organised it all for us for the next day and it was right what we wanted! You get varied breakfast and can eat it in the beautiful garden, where we once had a view on a wild peacock. Great value for your money!

The room is a bit small, but clean and A/C works fine but a bit loud maybe.

Good place, 10/10.

Incredibly friendly owners. We only stayed one night but it was a pleasant stay. The house is located on the edge of a national park and has a beautiful garden which the owner showed us around. Good Sri Lankan breakfast. Thank you

Welcome and food could not have been surpassed.

Everything was ok

Very friendly and helpful, lovely food, kindly arranged pickup from train station and for a packed breakfast when we had an early start for Sigiriya

We decided to book this place because it's located within abundent trees. It turned out that we were neighbors to wild monkeys. And the owner told us there was an elephant visited just 2 days ago. The owner is very helpful in helping us booking nearby Safari, SPA and even helped us book a taxi+driver/tourguide for our week long trip in Sri Lanka. We really appreciated his help.

It would be more pleasant if we could be told the price for Safari when confirming with the hotel owner. Or we would not be surprised how expensive it was when the Safari staff picking up in the next morning. It would be more responsible to make sure the rental taxi is in good condition so that we wouldn't be worried to be moved to another two other cars during our 7 days trip. Also the drivers could be more honest about things relating to our itinerary.

Food are tasty

That road was broken front of the house

Clean and nice family to welcome your stay.

friendly owners, clean facilities, very comfortable stay. went out of their way to prepare me a packed breakfast early in the morning.

A wonderful place, highly recommended! Nestled in a beautiful, quiet corner surrounded by a lush Sri Lankan garden. The owner, Thushara, along with his wife Menuka and their daughters, take excellent care of their guests, providing everything one could wish for. Delicious breakfasts and the tastiest rice & curry dishes, packed with fresh vegetables. They also help organize interesting trips, such as a safari in Hurulu Eco Park (a must with the guide Janaka) or a traditional Sri Lankan dance performance. They’ll also suggest and point out fascinating places to visit nearby. Most importantly, they are amazing, kind, and genuine people with whom you’ll love spending time. You can learn a lot about Sri Lanka and its history, explore the stunning garden around the property, and get to know all the plants and fruits. I highly recommend this place because the people running it have big hearts, and you can feel it from the very first moment you step in❤️

All was perfect!

This a very quiet and beautiful place. You see lots of peacocks, monkeys, birds and squirrels nearby. Food they offer is very delicious! Room is spacious, clean and AC worked well. Very lovely terrace to chill. But the most important is the host who will help you with everything and is very positive and friendly person! Makes you feel more than welcomed. I recommend the lake boat tour in the morning to see the lotus flowers 😁

The house it in an excellent olace where you can go to most all the attractions. Its very quiet! The family is very sweet and caring. The food is delicious 😋

I felt so welcomed at wild view stay! The food was amazing and the family running the home stay were incredibly kind and accomodating

Good service, worth for price

We really like this place, quiet and sorrounded by beautiful nature. We planned to stay for two nights but then we decided to stay two more days because the accomodation is really comfortable, the house garden is amazing and the owner shows us all the plants and trees. Breakfast and dinner was delicious and abundant. My hand was injured and the owner was so helpful with me, he brought me to his ayurvedic doctor that really help me with some local medicines. A special thanks to whole family that is really nice and kind. Recommended!!!!

Very nice people, helped us in every questions and went out of the ordinary to make our stay happy The one took us himself fishing,grocery and on his motorcycle and also cooking lessons Many thank for wonderful stay… 🙏

Great host, we got to borrow the motor bike, he showed us the whole garden, Al the plants and fruits and got fresh coconuts. Beautiful garden and nice pretty room. Two places to sit outside. Very nice stay. They also recommended a safari for us, at eco lodge 35 euros per person. it was the absolute best. The driver was great, called Janaka. Absolutely do this safari tour with him!

Nothing. When I accidentally at a spicy pepper during the delicious dinner they immediately got sugar for me and a yoghurt from the store. They are really thoughtful

We loved our stay at Wild View. As soon as we arrived at the station, we were greeted with a smile and taken straight to the accommodation where dinner was waiting for us. The food was incredible, so fresh and tasty and very generous portions. The room was basic but had everything we needed and the bed was comfortable and clean. The garden was so peaceful and relaxing with so many amazing plants and lots of wildlife - wild view stay really lives up to its name. On top of everything, our host was incredibly friendly and arranged transport for us to do a sunrise visit to Pidurangala Rock and back and the most incredible elephant safari. Such great value, would definitely recommend!

It was a wonderful stay, thank you. The host and hostess were amazing, very friendly and helpful. The room was perfect for our needs. The veranda provided a calm oasis to relax watching the sunset and bats. The food was amazing too.

Nothing. It was great.

We spent an excellent stay! It was amazing! The room is basic but comfortable and clean. The price is unbeatable. The food is absolutely amazing. Our host was super nice and helpful, did help us a lot to organize our stay, all visits in the area, transportation and so on. To sum up: it was perfect and I highly recommand this stay!

Nothing

Absolute value for money and beautiful homestay. The host and his wife did everything to make sure I felt comfortable and served delicious food.

Very calming and green surroundings. Ac and hot water in the shower. Comfortable and big bed. Delicious dinner and breakfast! The hosts were very helpful and nice :)

Lovely garden Lovely host The room was nice

The family hosting us, they are so welcoming! They really helped us with everything. Also best breakfast and dinner ever! Rooms are also spacious enough for us (small family), better then in the pictures with enough space to relax in the garden and on the balcony. Definitely recommended!

Everything was superb

Very nice owners.

One of the best accommodations, food, and of course hosts we had in Sri Lanka so far. This place is so near to nature that we saw two types of hornbills (one couple hornbills came and hit our window:) ), Giant Squirrels (Mummy with baby twice). This is the best base to cover Sigiriya and Dambulla. You can easily see wild elephants on the nearby road. And yes, how we can forget the firefly, and tree frog- gave us a nice visit in our room.

Everything is good. Just water gets finish in the tank quite often, but hosts fix it in 2 seconds.

Nice and clean with good quiet location. Thusara and family friendly and hospitality. Close to Sigiriya and Peduru rock. There good spa near by and the village tour

This lovely home stay is in a hidden location surrounded by wilderness. There are patios with seating on the second and ground floors that you can use to relax and look out into the greenery. The room was not especially large but fine for a single person; might be tight if there are two of you. Air conditioning works well. WIFI was slow so I just used my phone as a hotspot. The large washroom had standard Asian fixtures, shower and toilet. Thushara and his wife Menu were exceptional hosts. Warm and friendly, always eager to please. Thushara welcomed me with a cold drink after I arrived. Since we were going to Sigirya for the sunrise, they got up early to pack me some fruit for the trip. As well, Thushar walked me out to the main road to meet my driver for which I was thankful for as it was pitch black in the wilderness pre-dawn. The breakfasts were exceptional. Usually, a combination of some of the following: medu vada, muffins, pani pol pancakes filled with coconut and jaggery, string hoppers, fried egg, bread, fruit, and tea – a veritable feast each morning. Breakfasts are served al fresco on the patios which is a delightful and peaceful way to start to the day. They also arranged for laundry service which was done in one day. However, I discovered the laundry prices are much higher than what it was in Ella, so plan accordingly. Athreya Ayurveda Spa is an excellent ayurvedic spa located about 5 minutes drive away in the town. My guide said he has tried several in the country and he proclaimed this one is the best and it was.

It was difficult finding the place since the sign in front did not exactly match the booking (slight wording differences). We had to call them to check after going up and down the small dirt road in front of their place. Also note that the dirt road is filled with ruts and potholes and can only really accommodate traffic going in one direction and it is hard to turn around. Not their fault but be warned. It might be easier for tuks tuks but it's rough for cars and their suspensions. Afterwards, my driver opted to park on the main asphalt road and waited for me to walk out to meet him, rather than subject his car to the poor road conditions. There were two times that the water in the shower was not working but they quickly rectified it after I informed them.

Amazing stay

This is an excellent location in Habarana if you have a car/driver, and close to the main road if you are using public transport, but at the same time it is very quiet and private. The lovely hosts provided an evening meal on request on my second day and a very good breakfast. There's a little deck where guests can sit and relax. The room was very clean and comfortable, and any issues quickly and competently addressed (eg wifi connection initially)

It’s a quaint place very close to the lake and a lovely garden

Nothing :)

The location is wonderfully quiet and Habarana is a good base for Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya and Dambulla. The host and his family did their utmost to advise us and arrange matters (arranging a Tuktuk, most convenient bus). The breakfast was extensive and varied. Dinner also tasted great.

No complaints! If you are 1.90 meters tall, pay attention because the room door is lower.

I loved the hosts and the food, it was amazing! They helped me arrange many things and showed me around the little village. Breakfast and dinner were some of the best I had in a while!! Also air conditioning worked well and the room and bathroom were spacious and clean.

A bit hard to communicate about prices, they helped me book a taxi from tue airport, some tuk tuks and safari, but I was always alone and not in a group and the prices were a bit higher than I expected.

Amazing place run by such a nice family! The couple helped us organize our trips and we had the feeling that they can help with anything. We stayed for two nights and had amazing local food for breakfast and dinner! The location is perfect, it’s very peaceful, quiet and the rooms are spacious and clean. Definitely recommend to everyone visiting Habarana and surroundings. Thank you for everything!

I absolutely love this place! I came here on the recommendation of friends and it didn't disappoint! Infact, this is the only place I actually extended my stay. The owners are so friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the area. They can book cheap tours to do the elephant safari and anything else you need they make calls and get back to you with prices really quick. They do everything they can to make your stay more comfortable so you have no leg work to do. This really is hospitality at its finest. The room is the nicest I've stayed in by far, extremely clean and very comfortable with a king-size bed and the comfiest pillows ever. Their garden is also beautiful and so peaceful away from all the chaos and Menukas cooking is delicious! And the portion sizes are HUGE! you definitely won't go hungry at this place. I felt so welcomed and I will probably return to celebrate their new year with them 😁

Nothing!

Quiet environment, nice family and great food that they cook for you. They also have a full fridge of beer. :)) Thank you for a few days here. :)

Everything! The owners are so kind and hospitable and the location is wonderful for anyone wanting some calm between exploring Sigiriya and Dambulla. Organised a very local price Tuktuk for the day and the dinners were amazing!! So authentic and delicious breakfast and dinner. A perfect way to start my Sri Lanka trip.

Extremly sweet and helpful owner and his wife, delicious food, wonderful garden, terrace and nice room with AC.

We had a great time at Wild View Stay. This guesthouse is surrounded by a beautiful and peacful jungle garden. It is run by a lovely family which warmly welcomed us with smiles on their faces. It was really fun to hang out with them and hear their stories. The food was also great, especially the breakfast was very big and delicious. Highly recommended :)

This is a fantastic homestay. The owner and his wife are so welcoming and kind, helpful when booking tuk tuks and for any activities you’d like to do in the area (hikes, safari etc). The free breakfast is great, and there is a lovely family feel to the place. The room and bathroom were also very clean! All in all we stayed two nights and would happily come back :)

I’m very thankful for such a friendly and warm stay! The host was super helpful and proposed to drive me around to some of the local must see places, arrange a safari with a pickup right there at the house and take me to the local lake for a refreshing swim. Especially as a single traveller, this was much appreciated and made me feel very welcome. Enjoyed the meals and the separate big balcony for morning yoga and reading time, all the time surrounded with lush palm trees and jungle sounds. Location is nicely outside the village a bit and so closer to nature. Would be happy to visit again!

A very welcoming and accommodating family. The food is fantastic and the place is nicely secluded from the main road but enough close to transport connections. Thushara is a master of transport logistics who goes out of his way to help you. One of the best places I stayed in Sri Lanka!

Booked to stay with Thushara and his family once more as a stop over on route to Colombo. Welcomed once again like family into their home stay! Had a great night here. We even got to help prepare some dinner with the family and eat alongside them! Will definitely book with them again when we're next in Sri Lanka!

The Wild View Stay is really true to it‘s name. The beautiful garden is located in the middle of the jungle. You can watch all the local flora & fauna while eating delicious homestyle sri lankan meals. The host and the whole family is just incredibly nice! They really took care of us in a heart warming way! The room is simple but sufficient. Here and there are a few spots that need renovating but we really didn‘t mind. Our host provided us with all the information, transportation and help we could ever wish for. All the best for this wonderful family!

Lovely property. Nice garden. Peaceful. Lovely wildlife. Thrushra & his family, great hosts. Great food. Very helpful. Good location for local buses.

Super nice host family and great Sri Lankan dinner!

The owners were so helpful and were able to sort safari and transport for us at a cheaper price than we could have managed on our own. We ate dinner one night which was lovely. And there was plenary of breakfast. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone in the area.

The bedrooms could do with a lick of paint otherwise all lovely

Thushara, Menuka, Gangu and Pawani opened the doors of their beautiful home to us. They are the most wonderful and hospitable hosts who became like a second family. While staying here they all made sure we were completely looked after from organising day trips, to long walks in the local villages, visits to their local temple and even introducing us to their neighbours. We have felt right at home. The grounds of their home is like a miniature jungle with a plethora of local wildlife and the occasional nightly visit from wild elephants. An absolute feast for the eyes. The breakfast is good, but the dinner option is even better. This family really knows how to cook. Every meal has been varied and delicious. We would highly recommend staying here!!

The house is beautiful and perfectly located in a quiet area surrounded by nature. There is a space to rest outside and the meals are delicious! The hosts are very helpful and friendly. Completely must if you stay in the area.

Lovely homestay. Thushara's hospitality was amazing, always smilling and happy to have a chat with guests. He arranged all the safari and trips for us directly when we checked in. Great way to try out homemade Sri Lankan food (some of the top dinners we had in Sri Lanka). Great location national parks and all the surrounding cultural places (Sigiriya, Pollonaruwa, Dambulla...)

We had a great stay. The host was very kind and helpful, he gave us a tour of the garden and let us try all of the ripe fruits. He even gave us his motorbike because the other one wasn’t available. He was very lovely. The room was clean and there was much to do around. The food was amazing. We definitely recommend to stay here!

Everything was amazing.

Very friendly and helpful hosts. They showed us the garden and organized trips. We had a very nice stay here. Be sure to try the food of the hostess!

Wonderful host, he organized everything we needed. Comfortable rooms and tasty food. Good location near national parks. Very good value for the price.

Breakfast is the best

Host is exceptional, dinner is excellent, easily the best guest house I have ever stayed at. This was such a pleasure

Welcoming friendly family, beautiful garden, very silent, calm and quiet. Great food, the mother cooks really delicious, nice space to relax, sorrounded by nature. Lots of fruits and king coconut as a welcoming refreshment.

Monkeys are there around but hosts are trying their best to keep it protected.

The owners are amazingly friendly, the food was home made, local and very good and they helped out with organizing attractions and transport which we really appreciated.
