Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Die Gastgeber sind unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und kümmern sich wirklich darum, dass man sich wohlfühlt. Bei Fragen kann man jederzeit auf sie zukommen und vor Ort lassen sich auch verschiedene Touren und Aktivitäten organisieren. Die Lage ist praktisch, unter anderem nahe am Busbahnhof, und auch die Ancient City ist gut erreichbar. Das Zimmer war einfach, aber sauber und vollkommen ausreichend. Besonders gut fanden wir das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis – für den Preis bekommt man wirklich sehr viel.
Eigentlich gab es nichts, was uns wirklich gestört hat. Unser Zimmer hatte nur einen Ventilator und keine Klimaanlage, wodurch es zwischendurch etwas warm werden konnte. Das war für uns aber kein großes Problem.
Everything
Das Zimmer und Bad waren sehr sauber. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben mit ihm zusammen unsere Safari gebucht und auch eine Stadttour gemeinsam gemacht. Auch bei allen weiteren Fragen hat er uns weitergeholfen. Können wir nur empfehlen!
Large, very clean room. The shower had good pressure and the bed was comfortable. We had a problem with the air conditioner, however the hosts were very quick to act to get it fixed. The hosts are very friendly with lots of suggestions. They will even take you on a tuk tuk tour if you like. The room is close to everything. Wifi was good.

Beautiful room- very comfortable . Host was so helpful taking us around and giving us good info. Helped us buy our train tickets for onward trip. Lovely family.
It was all good
El personal era muy amable, nos daban consejos para ver la ciudad ancestral y para los buses. Tenían bicis para alquiler en el propio hotel a precio económico. El ultimo día nos hicieron el favor de acercarnos hasta la parada de bus antigua para poder coger el bus e intentar así ir lo más comodo posible en el trayecto.
La ubicación era un extraña ya que era un lugar semiapartado, estaba a la paralela de la calle principal, pero para llegar había que meterse por calles llenas de perros callejeros y oscuros por la noche, entraba un poco el canguelo. Aunque pareciese que todo estaba limpio se veía que les faltó limpiar partes del baño ya que había algún pelo cuando llegamos.
Pobyt przyjemny w świetnej lokalizacji. Personel bardzo miły i pomocny, oferujący przejazdy tuk tukiem.
Niestety ale woda miała dziwny zapach, dodatkowo przez drewniane szyld w łazience dostawały sie różne owady.
Best location ever right next to a lake with a walking track all around which was lovely and cool on the evenings. Tons of birds coming in to roost in the evenings. Large clean comfortable room
Nothing
Super lieve mensen die graag wilde meedenken en heerlijk ruime schone kamer
L'accueil des hôtes, leur gentillesse , leur aide pour les activités.
Les moustiques
La familia es encantadora y nos dieron todo tipo de facilidades para hacer turismo por la zona gestionar safari desde allí. Para cualquier cosa que necesitáramos ahí estaban. La habitación es espaciosa, limpia, silenciosa y no hubo mosquitos a pesar de estar al lado del lago. El entorno es tranquilo y bonito y está en pleno centro, a 5min andando de l estación de autobuses.
Todo estuvo correcto.
Very friendly host, gave a lot of recommendations in Anuradhapura!
The staff were helpful and recommended sites around town for us to see and places to eat. I had a standard British power adaptor that wasn't compatible with the sockets in the house. The host found an adaptor for me to enable me to charge my phone.
There were a few mosquitoes in my room that came in through the vent openings in the bathroom, so I put on mosquito repellent overnight. It would be nice if filtered drinking water was provided.
Famille charmante avec laquelle nous avons pu échanger. Chambres en rez de chaussée grandes et propres. Lac juste en face de l’autre côté de la rue (pas visible des chambres). Proximité du marché dont nous avons pu profiter un dimanche. Nous avons pu louer des vélos.
Hele lieve familie die overal graag bij willen helpen.
Wel wat last gehad van muggen, komt misschien omdat het aan een meer zit.
Solitamente non mi sbilancio nei consigli, m a questo posto vale veramente la pena: oltre alla location, la disponibilità e la cortesia di tutta la famiglia è stata eccezionale. Vi consiglio di far organizzare tutti gli spostamenti dal proprietario Pali: guida attenta, costi bassi e farà di tutto per farvi vedere anche gli angoli più nascosti. Noi torneremo sicuramente
Nulla. Tutto perfetto
El establecimiento estaba muy bien, muy limpia y bien ubicada. A remarcar los dueños, en especial Pali, nos hizo de guía y conductor durante el día de nuestra estancia y el siguiente. Nos llevó a ver Anadhurapura, Mihintale y polonaruwa y después a nuestra nueva ubicación en Sigirya. Un maquinon, muy majo y atento
Very close to town for food supplies Bank etc. Friendly helpful hosts who can also arrange transport. A nice breeze off the lake plus plenty of birds in the evening.
No chair in your room for those who like to sit and read?
Dormir chez l’habitant
The place is owned and operated by good people, providing information and assist with transportation and activities around. The room was big, the bed was good, the location is good, within a short walk distance you will find a supermarket and places to eat.
No hot water while showering, had a cockroach surprise during the night
El propietari és molt atent, t’ajuda amb tours, transports i recomanacions de menjar. L’habitació és gran, amb aire acondicionat i ventilador. Llit bastant comode.
No te aigua calenta. La situació de l’allotjament no és gaire bona. Els llençols no estaven gaire nets. A la nit se sent molt de soroll de cotxes i animals (hi ha un llac just davant).
The room was clean and comfortable, although mosquitoes could get in through the bathroom. The bed was comfortable, and the room had both air conditioning and a ceiling fan, which was great. The family is absolutely lovely. Before booking any taxi or tuk-tuk, make sure to speak with them first! They genuinely care about their guests and want to make sure you have the best experience during your stay.
The room was clean and comfortable, although mosquitoes could come in through the bathroom window.
Estaba limpio, habia aire y ventilador, muy acogedor
Todo perfecto
Ontzettend lieve mensen. Ze deden er alles aan om je thuis te laten voelen, gaven goede tips en dachten fijn mee. De kamer was erg ruim. Boven verwachting goed voor wat je betaald.
The hosts have bene very nice
Top verblijf! De eigenaar was ontzettend vriendelijk! Hij wilde ons overal mee helpen. Hele lieve mensen, die graag met je meedenken. Kortom een geweldig prijs-kwaliteit verhouding!
Precioso lugar preciosa atención! La verdad que han sido muy amables muy atentos con todo! Siempre al servicio de todo y recomendando como acomodarme y organizarme para visitar todo! Gracias por ser tan atentos 🫶
Nada
The host and his family were very warm and welcoming. The host also arranged a great tour of the old city with his friend Sawa. Would highly recommend choosing Sunhill Lake Tourist Rest.
The family having the guesthouse is just incredible. They’re so welcoming and friendly. They helped me with all the information that I needed, and helped me take the bus to go to Mihintale and then Trincomalee. The room is big and clean! Best place in Anuradhapura!
Paali et sa famille sont d’une extrême gentillesse
Geweldige host, schone kamer. Goede locatie.
De mensen waren super aardig
Veel muggen
Top locatie, ruime kamer en lieve gastheer en gastvrouw. Ze gaven direct aanbevelingen over horeca gelegenheden en activiteiten.
De host! Die is geweldig. Wilt overal in meedenken en is erg behulpzaam. Verder prima uitvalsbasis voor alle bezienswaardigheden.
Alleen jammer dat er geen echt daglicht is in de slaapkamer
The hotel was located closer to a reservoir
No tea/ coffee facility in the room. I bought tea/milk/sugar packets for them to make tea for us. Provided local transport by them was more expensive than Uber or pick me
Excellent location by the lake, near shops and restaurants, and close to the historical sites. Good size room with comfortable bed. The staff are simply amazing and so helpful. Superb value. Thank you!
Fantastische Unterkunft sehr schön und ruhig an einem See gelegen. Alles top gepflegt und sauber, mit sehr bequemen Betten. Die Gastgeber sind zuvorkommend und bieten auch Touren zu sehr fairen Preisen an. Fußläufig gibt es einen Supermarkt und viele Restaurant sowie den Busbahnhof. Vielen Dank für die angenehme Zeit.
Excellent homestay in a handy location.
Nothing
Perfect location next to a small lake, but also close to main shopping, restaurants, and main cultural sites, with their own bicycle rentals. Super comfortable bed, nice quiet room with high ceilings, good AC and hot shower. Amazingly helpful and friendly owner, who lives onsite with his very nice family, providing tips for exploring the historical sites, and even some personalized suggestions and transportation for other nearby attractions vs. random pickme drivers. An overall perfect choice - highly recommended!
Wahnsinnig gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und toller Gastgeber! Er hat uns mit allem geholfen, von Fahrradverleih, Safari bis Transport und wir durften sogar nach unserem Checkout nochmal ein Zimmer nutzen zum Duschen. Die Zimmer sind groß und alles war sehr sauber, die Betten bequem. Die Lage ist sehr gut, da man sowohl eine Supermarkt als auch viele Restaurants und Shops in unmittelbarer Nähe hat und eine schöne Tagestour zur sacred City machen kann.
Nichts :)
Great host with useful information. Big room with air conditioning!
Nothing
Ample room in bedroom and bathroom. On ground floor. Helpful, gracious hosts who so willing to assist with travel, direstions and any other matter to make your stay comfortable.. Location down a side street alongside a lake, easy access to walking path yet close to main shopping street, cafes, supermarket. Very clean room. Good airconditioning
The lighting in bedroom too dim for reading. No signage so place not easy to identify if you don't have google maps.
I stayed here for 2 nights. Really friendly family and extra helpful, especially with my bus problem. The location is 1 minute from the main street, with plenty of nice restaurants. It's located on a very quiet back street next to a large nice lake. I definitely recommend Sunhill Lake Tourist Rest.
Nothing
Gentillesse des propriétaires dont la fille parle français. Super organisation pour la découverte du site d'Anadhapura. Bon conseil.
Rien
Personnel très aimable, hotel très correct, bien situé
Ssayzr de Prévoir un peu de réfection de la salle de bains
Chambre correcte, bon rapport qualité/prix, proche d’un lac et au calme. La terrasse commune est sympathique.
Ne pas faire confiance au propriétaire pour l’organisation des excursions et visites des temples alentours car on vous annonce un prix déjà très élevé au départ, puis on vous demande encore de payer en plus tout le long du tour des temples et alentours des choses pas prévues. De plus, le propriétaire n’hésite pas à montrer son mécontentement et vous le faire savoir dès que vous faites une remarque ou demandez à voir autre chose que là où lui veut absolument vous emmener.
Nous avons avons passé deux nuits dans cet établissement très charmant au bord d’un lac (il est possible d’en faire le tour à pied ce qui est très agréable) L’hôte et sa famille sont très gentils, nous avons pu découvrir un jeu de société et passé une belle soirée conviviale L’hôte nous a également proposé ses services pour nous déposer à notre prochain step, ce fut un trajet des plus agréables, il a pris le temps de nous faire découvrir de beaux paysages et jardins en route. Je recommande grandement cet hébergement et vous conseil également de manger au restaurant Casserole juste derrière (conseillé par l’hôte) très bon et très peu cher. Encore merci de nous avoir accueillis !
Une famille adorable et très accueillante
位置好 价格便宜 性价比高 还能提供自行车和威尔帕图公园safari
没啥要改进的 只要能接受电扇和凉水洗澡的话
Tout était fabuleux, un rapport qualité-prix exceptionnel, sans compter sur la sympathie de la famille qui nous as aidé pour l’organisation de notre séjour et du transport pour notre prochaine destination. Ils ont pris en charge l’organisation au Parc National Walpittu, une journée incroyable ! Merci à eux pour leur gentillesse et leur aide.
The room and bathroom were both big. The hallway has a couple of seats to sit, as well as some outdoor seats at the front. Everything is clean, the A/C is efficient and the bed comfortable. There’s somewhere to pop your case on. The owners are extremely helpful and kind. They make tea and coffee for you. Plus, on the day I left, I wanted to catch the A/C bus (coach really) to Negombo and the gentleman very kindly ran me in his tuk tuk to show me where the bus stop is and stayed with me to see I got on the correct bus. How kind is that. The location is by the side of a lake, the bird life and the lake make an interesting walk. If you walk anticlockwise around the lake for about 5-10 mins you come to a place with tables by the lake advertising drinks for sale. The food there (it’s not immediately obvious that they sell food) is really good. I’d highly recommend eating here.
Everything. Very kind and helpful people. Sir told me what time the bus was to Trinco and took me to the bus station early in the morning free of charge They had a good bicycle which I rented for 2 days Great peaceful location right by the lake in New Town
Nothing
The owners keep it very clean and neat. If you want to go to the Wilpattu national park. Let them arrange it, you won’t get it cheaper anywhere else.
The staff, the location and the bed was comfortable
Maybe the noise about the ceiling fan or a/a
晚上十点多我才到阿努拉德普勒,老板一直在等,离开的时候不仅tuktuk送我到车站,还直接带我上了去波隆纳鲁沃的车。饮用水直接找老板要就行。
我住的是最便宜的房间,没有空调只有风扇,相当潮,还没有热水。说实话条件实在有点艰难。当天有空房的话可以升下级。
- Vriendelijke en behulpzame familie. Advies gegeven over het bezoeken van de bezienswaardigheden en voor een goede prijs fietsen gehuurd voor een dagdeel. - Schone, basic kamer met ventilator en goede wifi. - Goede locatie, niet aan de drukke weg. Vlakbij een supermarkt, restaurants en het busstation. Tempels op fietsafstand.
Gastvrijheid, behulpzaamheid van het echtpaar, de eigenaren
L'accueil, la propreté, proximité de la gare routière, l'environnement
Le bruit de la climatisation de la chambre voisine et pas d'eau chaude
De eigenaars waren super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Rustige locatie.
Niets
De mensen hier zijn zo enorm lief. Ze helpen je met alles. Alle tours werden geregeld voor een eerlijke prijs. Locatie is super. Je hebt veel winkels en een bakker om de hoek. Maar het is wel rustig. De kamers zijn heel groot waardoor je de ruimte hebt. Het voelde hier als thuis komen
Personale molto accogliente
Odore della camera
Los propietarios del hotel fueron encantadores, siempre disponibles para ayudar y ofrecer buenos consejos y recomendaciones de la ciudad.
Las instalaciones son correctas, aunque nuestra habitación no tenía luz natural ni agua caliente en la ducha.
Por el precio no se puede pedir más la ubicación genial y el personal las habitación tienen olor a humedad por lo demás bien :)
Woorden schieten tekort voor de lieve eigenaars van deze homestay! Ze hebben ons enorm goed geholpen en verschillende leuke uitjes voor ons geregeld. We kozen deze homestay op basis van andere recensies, waar werd verteld dat Pali gasten rondrijdt in zijn eigen tuktuk en geweldige safari’s organiseert. Beide klopten helemaal! We hadden vooraf contact via de chat van Booking om de tuktuk en safari te regelen, en Pali reageerde superduidelijk en snel. Zijn Engels is over het algemeen erg goed, en als iets niet meteen duidelijk is, kun je het gerust nog eens vragen. De kamer is precies zoals beschreven – niet luxer dan verwacht, maar perfect voor de prijs. Wij kozen de kamer zonder airco en dat was prima te doen met de ventilator. Ook zonder warme douche was het goed uit te houden met de warme temperaturen. De kamer was schoon (zeker voor Sri Lankaanse begrippen). Pali is ontzettend vriendelijk, oprecht en behulpzaam. Wil je een fijne en betaalbare tijd in Anuradhapura, met iemand die je graag helpt om het meeste uit je verblijf te halen? Dan is dit absoluut een aanrader!
El lugar impecable. Ubicación buenísimo cerca de la terminal , calle principal y frente al lago. La familia que la administra, te resuelve, orienta con amorosidad. Definitivamente el lugar ideal con gente maravillosa.
Nada
La familia fue encantadora y nos ayudo con todo tipo de informacion: buses, templos, alquiler de bicis...
En general todo fue genial ;)
Host davvero straordinari: ottima accoglienza all'arrivo, abbiamo organizzato subito per il giorno successivo il noleggio di due bici direttamente dalla famiglia. Camera ampia e pulita. Dopo il nostro tour della città la famiglia ci ha dato consigli per l'itinerario dei giorni a seguire e ci hanno portato con il loro tuktuk alla tappa successiva. Buoni prezzi.
La familia que lo lleva es maravillosa y muy acogedora te hacen sentir como en casa.Te ayudan con lo que necesites. Además nosotras hicimos un tour a diferentes templos de la zona, nos llevó hasta ahí y nos explicó sobre la historia de los lugares. Pudimos contemplar sus tradiciones, a la hora de rezar. El anfitrión nos hizo sentir muy integradas y informadas. Estamos muy agradecidas.
Super vriendelijke mensen. Fijne locatie aan het meer. Goede service. Alles netjes en schoon. Ook kon je er alle trips boeken. Eigenlijk alles top!

Very clean and comfortable rooms. Very well located as well. The owner and his family are super friendly and kind. They help you on whatever you need!!! The owner has arranged us the safari to wilpattu, it was very good organized and a fantastic experience! 100% recommend this homestay!!!
It's comfortable and well located, and the hosts are great - waited for me when my train was delayed and even helped me get some food.
Everything was clean. Room was spacious. Hosts were very nice and helped us in every way. Would stay here again.
