Forest Villa Nature Resort

Very cosy place in a quiet garden area. The beds are comfortable and the host is incredibly nice and helpful. Delicious breakfast every morning. Really recommend this place!

The host was really nice and helpful and showed us around for one day in Anuradhapura. The breakfast was great. I recommend this place.

Perfect authentic accomondation.

The place. Beautiful, full of plants

I was supposed to stay 2 days but I left after staying just one night. At the beginning he was nice, he came to pick me up at the bus station, he explained lots of things.. then he became too much! Too pushing. He basically organised my holiday, he wanted to stay with me all the trip long, eat with me, drink with me.. everything! But until that "everything was fine". He then started to tell me that he knew how to do massage and after being telling me he wanted to do the massage 20 times I stupidly accepted. LET'S JUST SAY HE DIDN'T BEHAVE WELL. AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO SOLO FEMALE TRAVELLERS

We verbleven hier tijdens het Singhalese nieuwjaar en de host nam ons mee naar zijn familie om dit te vieren. Hij had een hele dag voor ons geregeld met boottocht, kookcursus en nog meer. Dat was erg bijzonder. De accomodatie is vrij basic, maar wel met airco (een van de twee kamers) en opzich alles wat je nodig hebt! Echt een aanrader als je een duik in de Sri Lankaanse cultuur wil nemen.

Er hadden wat meer lampen mogen zijn en een nachtlampje oid. De locatie was wel vrij ver van anaradhapura stad

Natuurgeluiden, rust in de schaduw en een super lieve host. Deze accommodatie is een groot succes.

Zeer rustig gelegen en heerlijk gegeten! Eenvoudige kamer met badkamertje.

Sampath was really nice,we explained a lot of things and he offered us his services as a tourist guide for a nice price. We had our own tuk tuk so he came with us through the old city of Anuradhapura. The bed was very comfortable and the fan and the air conditioner worked very well.

The place is a little bit far from the city center but for us it was not a problem because we had our own tuk tuk. Sometimes the wi-fi didn't work.

El personal és molt amable i t’ajuda amb tot. L’habitació té aire condicionat i el lloc és molt bonic, dins de la jungla. L’esmorza era complet i estava molt bo. A més, vam demanar si ens podien fer sopar i ens el van fer, boníssim.

El personal estuvo todo el tiempo atento a nuestras necesidades. El desayuno estaba muy rico y cada día fue diferente.

A unos 20 minutos en tuk tuk del centro y del recinto arqueológico. No hay agua caliente y el baño está mal distribuido. La ducha estaba en el medio y se empapaba todo.

Colazione tipica molto buona e abbondante! Il personale è stato molto gentile, siamo arrivati tardi la sera e ci ha ordinato la cena da asporto pur avendoglielo detto all’ultimo.

La strada per raggiungere la struttura è piuttosto scomoda: sterrato con buche, fattibile ma se devi uscire per la cena al buio molto scomoda. In bagno c’erano 5 ranocchie, innocue ma fastidiose. Il mattino seguente nonostante avessimo cercato di chiudere lo spazio sotto la porta della camera abbiamo trovato altre rane in camera e in bagno.

Le logement est conforme à la description. Un peu à distance des temples, il faut prévoir un mode de transport. Nous avions pris 2 chambres, elles étaient propres, ne bénéficiaient pas de clim. Notre hôte était adorable, les repas succulents. Nous avons également réalisé une journée avec lui dans son village pour pêcher, cuisiner, faire un tour de bateau au coucher du soleil . Cette journée a été exceptionnelle, nous avons rencontré des gens merveilleux !!

We had a wonderful budget-friendly stay in Anuradhapura! The room was clean and comfortable. The highlight of our stay was the host, Sampath – he was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home. He even helped us arrange transport and gave great local tips for exploring the ancient city. The peaceful surroundings and homely atmosphere made it a relaxing and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm, affordable stay in Anuradhapura!

The room was as depicted with a nice fan, mosquito nets and outdoor area to sit. The host organised a local meal and breakfast and was reachable via the phone if we needed anything else. It's definitely part of nature nice garden and bird noises.

The location is well out of town and the streets to get there are dark and narrow. There's nothing around (little shops, ATM's etc) we also showered and went to the toilet with frogs everywhere, harmless but not pleasant

Nature

All good

All good

Very good place highly recommend owner is very kind...

Relaxing

Wifi

Very nice and clean room with adjacent bathroom. Room has also nice terrace with chair and table and beautiful garden view. Quiet and rural area. Very nice breakfast and lunch and dinner options. Friendly owner who has a lot of ideas.

Room a bit warm but I was able to sleep outside :-)

The owner only came the morning I left. The guardian is nice but doesn't speak much English. The room is fine, mosquito net. Bathroom fine, cold shower. Would appreciate a fridge. Very quiet place. Breakfast fine.

The owner should be more accessible.

Enviorenment

Pichchamal temple

Comfortable, clean, well appointed and equipped room with good WiFi. Set amidst the forest 12km from town, it is extraordinarily quiet day and night. The genial host, Sampath, offers much and is eager to please.

You MUST have, or be prepared to arrange, your own transport! You are MILES from any restaurants or facilities. The kitchen was being refitted during our stay so we hired a scooter for the length of our stay and ate out. If the kitchen is fitted out correctly it will be a superb retreat from the hustle and bustle. Sampath, I'll be watching ... 😅

We enjoyed our stay at the Forest Villa, mainly because of the very friendly host Sampath. He did his best to make our stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. He was always willing to help us and meet our needs. He also organized a Wilpattu National Park full day safari for us for a very good price and it was really amazing! On our way back to the villa it was not a problem for him to stop to buy takeaway dinner or to stop at the shop. We rented bikes to us (for free), so we could move around the city. There was free filtered water at the villa. The breakfast was very nice, we also ordered an additional dinner (rice & curry) which was very tasty too. He gave us many tips and answered all our questions. He also helped us to rent a scooter. In the room there was both AC and a fan. We had a small terrace. We really enjoyed our stay!

The villa was located outside of the city, quite far, but you can see it on the map while booking the place. The internet is not great for working, but for normal usage is good enough. There were many bugs coming to our room. The transport from the city to the villa was not free, as written on booking. Filtered water was available only sometimes (when there was someone at the villa), so sometimes we had to wait till the morning to get some water.

Perfect stay to calm down. I just arrived in Sri Lanka to do my Vipassana course. I decided to stay there one night because its nearby. Best choice! 🙂

Friendly staff!

Nice and calm place! Perfect to reconnect and relax. The garden is beautiful and the bedroom is perfect 👍 the host is particularly attentive, and he gave us two bikes to visit the town, we also had a tour in Wilpattu National Park. The homemade dinner was amazing ! I highly recommend to stay here !

owner. staff was amazing. great location. amazing food

loose toilet seat

This place is very much in a jungle area and the host, Sampath, was key to making the stay enjoyable. The room was immaculately clean and the air con was quiet and worked well. Sampath is an expert guide for Anuradnapura and I went on a fantastic tour with him there and over to Minitale as well. I doubled on his motorbike and he is an expert driver (he also can use a car or bicycle). Sampath took us to a spot midday for a swim to cool down and refresh for the second half of the day. Breakfast at the homestay was simple and tasty. Overall, it is a very convenient and very affordable place to stay with a lovely man as host. The stay and the guided tour are a very convenient combo.

The grounds themself are not immaculate but a bit wild and unkempt. I don't mind that because I was not at the actual property except to have breakfast and sleep. There are monkeys and birds around. The monkeys never came close however and so they were not an issue.

Superb breakfast. Staff was friendly. Room was clean and adequate. Value for money. Thank you Mr. Sampath and the team.

Nothing to dislike

I had a lovely stay! Such a beautiful green area. The room was very clean and the Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious. Sampath and his uncle are so friendly and he gave me a little tour of the fruits and spices in his garden. Thank you!! 🙏

Sampath was very friendly and helpful planning some activities Good Sri Lankan breakfast Clean rooms

Little far out the main city but fine if you have transport Wifi didn’t work very well

Great hospitality service. Friendly staff. Good one to stay in Anuradhapura

Value for money and how friendly the host and is uncle where. The host wasn't around due to sri lankan New year but he kept in contact with us via calls and WhatsApp massages. Uncle was very friendly and wanted to show his own house a couple 100 meter away. So we went and it was a nice bonus. We could also leave our luggage after checkout time to pick it up later

Nothing

Peaceful, unspoilt. Lovely Wildlife. Very small building with only 2 rooms in total. Real true Sri Lankan experience. Managed by a very nice young man, Sampath. He is very enthusiastic & does him best to please his customers. Very good food if you are vegetarian.

Very basis. Middle of no where. Own transport needed/or rely on Sampath on book Tuk Tuk which charged tourist prices. No where to go near by & find transport .

Evergreen Villa was definitely the nicest place we stayed at during our trip in Sri Lanka so far. The owner and his uncle are just the nicest people, they are so welcomjng and make sure everything is well arranged. From the outstanding breakfast, the trips together to the temples, meeting the family during a cookery class and playing cards in the evening - it was all just really fun. We liked the calm atmosphere of the surrounding nature, and when driving our tuktuk back on the road to the Villa it really felt like coming home. Sad to be leaving but definitely a place to come back to, and a recommendation to anyone that would like to truly experience Anuradhapura!

Very kind host and owner. He organised bicycles for us and even dropped us off at the bus stand on the last day. He can also give you a lot of information on places to visit in the area and organise tours. The place is quiet and out in the green. You can see a lot of birds.

The place is quite far away from the road and Anuradhapura. If you have your own ride it is perfect. Otherwise you have to get a TukTuk every time you want to go somewhere. With PickMe we paid ~ 1300 SLR from the busstand to the place.

The Evergreen Resort is located Outside the City, still all Sightseeing and Temple visiting you can reach in a short time by car. The included Food was fantastic, traditional Sri Lankan Breakfast and Tea in the Morning and at Night, the owner lent us bicycles and told us the best places around to see. It‘s located in a very quiet calm place sorrounded by the owner‘s Garden and forests....the room has a nice clean bathroom and his own terrace.

Lovely little place in the jungle. The room is air conditioned and fitted with a large mosquito net. But above all, Sampath is the most friendly and helpful host imaginable!

It is a bit remote from the city, but Sampath was very eager to offer drives whenever needed.

The owner was a fantastic guide to the Ruvanveli Seya Dagobe (temple). He showed us a more than 2000 year old holey trea. It is a good location when you cross the country from west to east.

One room is with airco the other one not. It lays in a wood so there is enough shadow.

I stayed 2 nights here and felt very welcomed. Sampath is an amazing host who can arrange everything and guide you around the area (sacred city, mihintale...as you wish). The house is out of the City and perfect for naturelovers. Also recommendable is the huge included sri lankan breakfast.

It’s very rural and quiet. You get your own personal space from others, there was no one else staying there so it was very quiet. Good room + bathroom relative to the price.

There was a monitor lizard living in the roof, unfortunately kept us up all night long hunting mice in the roof space. This animal needs to be removed from roof space for guests to sleep peacefully.

Helpful and friendly owner and stuff:) he was always ready to help us.

Condition of the place you can see it hasn’t been in use for some time and the climate got inside.

The location and the knowledge as guides

If you put photos of food on your site you assume you can eat there. That was unfotunately not the case.
