Boutique by Sa

Spacious first-floor room in a modern house in Anuradhapura. The location is great, around 10 to 15 minutes' drive to most of the ancient sights, and with food options and amenities nearby. The breakfast and dinner were excellent, and the terrace and pool were lovely spaces to relax. The host was very welcoming and helped us to organise our time in Anuradhapura, advising on transport and the best time to visit sights. He also explained the food at each meal (which was very useful for our first meals in Sri Lanka) and was flexible with the check-out time. Overall, superb hospitality from the Boutique by Sa team.

Everything was great.

The accommodation was spacious and clean. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had a delicious breakfast.

Fijne accomodatie. Ze zorgen heel goed voor je en willen dat je de beste tijd hebt. Ontbijt is mega uitgebreid en vers klaargemaakt. Er is non stop iemand aanwezig. Beveiligde ingang. Bedankt voor het fijne verblijf!

Niets, alles was geweldig

Nos encantó este alojamiento, es una propiedad privada que ofrece una habitación muy grande y con un mobiliario y decoración de hotel de 5 estrellas. La casa es preciosa con un gusto exquisito. La calidad y presentación del desayuno y la cena también es de hotel de 5 estrellas. El dueño y su asistente te cuidan y te hacen sentir como si estuvieras en tu casa. Nos dio pena irnos.

Ottima Accoglienza, casa molto bella, ottima la colazione traditional. Super gentili. Consiglio il soggiorno sarete super coccolati !!

De persoonlijke sfeer, het vriendelijke personeel en de stijlvolle inrichting maakten het verblijf erg aangenaam. De kamers waren schoon en comfortabel, En groot!

Tegenvallen is een groot woord, maar voor vier personen was er slechts één slaapkamer beschikbaar. Gezien de grootte van het huis had ik eigenlijk verwacht dat er meerdere slaapkamers zouden zijn.

The room and service were of exceptional quality with the host going out of his way to ensure we were comfortable during our stay. Would definitely stay again if we visit Sri Lanka again.

Nice and cozy Food was excellent Close to very important places

Nous avons tout aimé ! L'accueil formidable dès notre arrivée, la maison magnifique de même que notre chambre avec salle de bain privée. Nous nous sentions comme des invités de famille. Que dire des petits déjeuners ? Juste un régal. Des petits déjeuners sri-lankais complets, fraîchement cuisinés le matin même, qui vous permettent de passer la journée en vadrouille.

Rien....

We had a simply wonderful stay. From the moment we were welcomed, with care and warmth, to our check-out time, not before the most delicious (and rich!) breakfast we had in over two weeks of travelling across the country. The property is fantastic, with a lovely pool and a comfort that was way beyond our expectations; location is perfect to enjoy the city, and in a nice and tranquil neighborhood. Highly recommended, we will definetely come back!

Large, clean space.

Anaradapura doesn’t have much of a vibe and we overstayed (3 days). The property is just one room, which is great if you want privacy, but we felt a bit isolated.

A remarcable hospitality and comport.

the meals and service were more than in a 5 star hotel.

Habitación grande, piscina y personal muy amable.

La relación calidad precio.

Incredible,spotless,huge, amazing value at this price,3 terraces a balcony and a patio with a plunge pool, this would cost £500 a night in any European capital city,the owner and his colleague/chef can’t do enough for you and the breakfast is some serious 5 star service and the bedroom is incredible

Absolutely nothing

Absolutely wonderful property in Anuradhapura. Clean and modern and a lovely spot to relax by the plunge pool. Also had a washing machine available to use which was a massive bonus! Very yummy Sri Lankan breakfasts each morning and we also had dinner one night there which was equally delicious! De Silva also provided great recommendations for tour guides around Anuradhapura. Would 100% stay here again!

Lots of aggressive stray dogs on the street which made walking back in the evening scary. Thankfully a local on a scooter was able to distract the dogs enough for us to get past. Recommend using tuktuks to get back in the dark.

Echt een super mooi verblijf, met enorm aardige gastheren. De kamer is groot, goed schoongemaakt en van alle gemakken voorzien.

Helaas hadden wij redelijk wat (geluids)overlast van de honden in de buurt… Daarnaast zaten er in de badkamer af en toe wat insecten, kikkers en hagedissen.

La habitación es impresionante. Zona muy tranquila. Anfitriones muy amables. Desayuno completísimo.

Nos gustó todo. Quizá para cenar, hay que andar un poco...

This is a wonderful house and we truly loved our stay! It is so luxurious and the host is extremely friendly and helpful. An ideal place to relax and wind down after a day’s travelling or visiting Anuradhapura. The pool is very welcome… and the food was not only delicious, but we were treated to a variety of Sri Lankan specialties - sometimes with an international twist - and explanations as to how the food was cooked. Strongly recommend booking this if there is availability!

Nous confirmons tous les commentaires élogieux qui auraient dû déboucher logiquement sur la note maximale : accueil irréprochable, propreté plus que parfaite, chambre tellement spacieuse, literie impeccable, piscine privée certes petite mais tellement agréable qu'il faut vraiment en profiter, petit déjeuner copieux et service impeccable. Résidence en journée très calme mais ... vient la nuit !! ...

Je confirme l'unique avis à ce jour (?!!) mentionnant en mai 2025 le très gros problème que nous avons rencontré et que je me dois de signaler malgré la perfection réelle du lieu d'hébergement. Nous avons été systématiquement réveillés à plusieurs reprises lors de nos 3 nuits par des aboiements, des hurlements, des bruits d'affrontements des chiens du voisin, juste en dessous. J'ai bien lu que le propriétaire faisait le nécessaire depuis mai 2025 et j'espère qu'il trouvera une solution tant il le mérite. Mais à ce jour, le problème est trop conséquent pour qu'il soit passé sous silence.

- ontbijt fantastisch - mooie kamer/huis - de ontvangst - vriendelijkheid van de eigenaar & kok - plunge pool - regelen van gids (Siri is top!) om met tuk tuk stads tour te doen- dit was zo geregeld door de eigenaar.

Niets

Heel mooi verblijf waar je je enorm welkom voelt. De gastheer is supervriendelijk en doet er ALLES aan om het je naar je zin te maken. Bovendien is hij ook erg goed voor zijn personeel wat wij heel belangrijk vinden. Over de staff gesproken: wat zijn zij lief, behulpzaam en vriendelijk! Zowel het ontbijt als avondeten (optioneel) zijn erg overvloedig en lekker!

Helemaal niets!

Een prachtige plek om te verblijven. Ik ben best kritisch als het om hotels gaat, maar Boutique by Sa verdient zonder twijfel een 10. De eigenaar is van beroep een zorgprofessioneel en dat merk je: hygiëne en comfort staan hier duidelijk hoog in het vaandel. De twee heren die de gasten ontvangen en het ontbijt klaarmaken zijn oprecht vriendelijk en respectvol. Ook het transport dat wij via Boutique by Sa hebben geregeld, was betrouwbaar en werd aangeboden tegen een zeer redelijk tarief. Een echte aanrader!

Niets

Great place with amazing owner and staff Make sure you have dinner at least once at the hotel - if we had our time again we would of eaten both dinners there it was that good

The property is wonderful and so are the hosts. The property is also very clean. The food was very nice, varied, and the location was perfect.

For us this property it is not a 10 out of 10 as we unfortunately didn’t sleep well. This had nothing to do with the host’s efforts. However, its neighbours welcome many stray dogs at night who woke us up as much as 5 times each night, howling, barking, fighting,… even with earplugs you could not sleep through the night.

Our time at Boutique by Sa was simply unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were in our own private paradise — the entire house is yours to enjoy, offering both comfort and privacy in a beautifully designed setting. What truly made the experience exceptional was the personal attention we received. Lasantha, the in-house cook, is an absolute treasure. He introduced us to the rich world of Sri Lankan cuisine, preparing dish after dish of local specialties with incredible skill and love — it was like a culinary journey every day. His passion for cooking is truly inspiring and made each meal a highlight of our stay. Equally wonderful was Mr. Da Silva, the owner of this amazing place, who welcomed us with warmth and shared countless insider tips about what to see and do in Anuradhapura and the surrounding area. Thanks to him, we discovered places and experiences we would’ve otherwise missed. We were 100% satisfied with our stay and would recommend Boutique by Sa without hesitation. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home — only better — this is it !

Very good location, you can ride the bike to temples. It was very clean and spacious that I was stunned with the price because it was affordable. We had the whole place to ourselves and aside from the complementary breakfast, they can also prepare your choice of lunch and dinner. I woke up very early in the morning to catch the sunrise and read a book at the roof deck it was very relaxing.

Magnificent accommodation and wonderful host. Nothing is too much trouble Mr Udaya De Silva can arrange what ever you want. Breakfast is a gourmet delight..Private pool a great place to relax after a day's sightseeing.

We had to leave after 3 nights could have stayed a lot longer.

This was a beautiful house to stay in. It had a modern , large , clean bedroom & bathroom . You are the only guests , and there is lovely staff to help with luggage , do laundry & serve breakfast . The host is great & also very helpful . The western breakfast was delicious ! The house is in a residential neighbourhood , with good security .

No .

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Boutique by Sa. We learnt so much from the owner who goes out of his way to make sure one has a great time!! Many thanks for the amazing visit! We would love to stay here again someday!

We were suspicious of the glowing reviews but having stayed here, they are all thoroughly deserved. Udaya and his team were wonderful throughout our stay. The room was huge, spotlessly clean with every comfort taken care of. The breakfasts were delicious with a different Sri Lankan delicacy each day. Lovely to have the plunge pool too. Highly recommended.

Nothing

This was the most amazing place to stay. The room was huge with plenty of seating, a desk, tea and coffee maker, small fridge/mini bar, air conditioner and a fabulous bathroom. The bed was comfortable. The home has solar panels and we were there the day Sri Lanka had a national blackout. The solar kept everything in the house running for hours, while the rest of the town was completely blacked out. You couldn't ask for anything more than that. The host cooked breakfast to order - you had a choice of Sri Lankan or western, both accompanied by fresh fruit, fruit juice, tea or coffee and as much toast as you could eat. The host is a Doctor and delights in entertaining you. The place could not be better. You have to stay there.

NOTHING!

A beautiful suite in a unique little boutique guest house where there is only one suite so you will be the only guest. Everything is very modern ,clean and of a very high standard. The owner and staff are extremely friendly and attentive , the food at breakfast and dinner are all home cooked and delicious, a wonderful way to experience Sri Lankan food . The little pool and garden were very peaceful and private , a welcome cool off and relax after a day's sightseeing. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend , we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

There is no sign outside the property so a little difficult to find . Cash payment only.

Our experience with this accommodation was absolutely amazing. From the very first moment, the hosts charmed us with their incredible kindness and friendly approach. They even organized a tour of the sights in Anuradhapura for us, which was an unforgettable experience. The accommodation itself was very clean, cozy, and comfortable. I liked very much the modern design. Breakfasts were perfect, with fresh fruit every day and delicious dishes. We felt right at home here, and thanks to that, we take away beautiful memories. Thank you for everything! We would love to come back and can only highly recommend this place. 😊

The place was extremly clean, well designed, comfortable, spacious and modern. Staff and the owner were something you could just wish for-always there to help, smiling and ready to talk. We had the best Srilankan breakfast, which was more of an experience - I highly recommend it! When we arrived, they welcomed us with cold towels and some refreshing watermellon juice. We also got complimentary Xmass breakfast. Thank you for everything, Boutique by Sa team!

From the moment I made the booking, the team was in constant communication with me. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable, and the hospitality provided by Mr. Udaya and Mr. Gayan was exceptional. Their kindness made our experience truly memorable. The food was also outstanding. I would highly recommend this place to all my family and friends who plan to visit Sri Lanka in the future. Even after our stay, they stayed in touch to ensure we safely reached our next destination, which was a thoughtful touch. I have no hesitation in recommending this place—it’s a must-visit. The bedroom was incredibly relaxing, and the pool was perfect, especially given the hot weather in Anuradhapura. The property is spotlessly clean, and the attention to detail in its design is evident, making it an excellent choice for guests. They even took the time to ask what could be improved for future stays, showing their commitment to constant improvement. Mr. Udaya is a truly humble and gracious host.

It was perfect. Nothing to dislike.

Beautiful suite with multiple terraces. It’s located in a quiet residential area, but close to restaurants and the ancient city. The attention to details, amenities and service are top notch. Upon returning from a hot day of sightseeing, I was given a cool towel. Similarly, the plunge pool was a welcome retreat on a hot afternoon . The room is beautifully furnished and well equipped with tea and coffee and a mini refrigerator. The owner went out of his way to make my stay enjoyable including letting me borrow a bike. Despite an early departure, a wonderful breakfast was waiting for me. My only regret was that I only stayed one night.

Hotel is a perfect leisure stay with a private pool, garden and access to 3 terrace areas. Hotel showcase an exceptional architecture to make sure and comfortable stay and amazing experience. Cleanliness, Hotel amenties are beyond expectation. Staff is very helpful in every aspect throughout our stay in the hotel. Hotel is located in a prime area with easy reach to "pooja nagaraya", city , restaurants, lakes in Anuradhapura. I highly recommend this boutique hotel for anyone looking for relaxed luxurious yet a homely stay.

Nothing.

The hospitality was exceptional; the staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our stay was perfect. From the warm welcome upon arrival to the attentive service throughout our visit, we felt genuinely cared for. Each meal was a delightful culinary treat, showcasing local flavors with fresh ingredients that made dining a highlight of our stay. Located in a serene setting, the hotel featured a stunning pool surrounded by lush greenery, providing the perfect oasis for relaxation after a day of exploring the ancient city. Overall, my stay was a perfect blend of relaxation, culture, and hospitality. I highly recommend this boutique for anyone looking to experience the best of Anuradhapura. It’s a hidden gem that will leave you with lasting memories.

Everything provided and experienced was exceptional and could only get better over time. Wishing them all the best!

A beautifully designed private property with enormous, ridiculously comfortable and well serviced rooms and beds, and a lovely small pool area in the garden. We didn’t even make use of our room’s private terrace. We had two delicious meals here (dinner and breakfast) - all home cooked and, again, huge portions. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the owner went out of his way to help us retrieve a card swallowed by an ATM at the local branch, as well as doing a batch of laundry for us. 10/10 hospitality!

Nothing!
