The most beautiful family of hosts that went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The rooms are brand new, very clean and tidy and well presented. The food menu was simple and the food incredibly tasty... and extremely good value! Organised a full day safari jeep at a fantastic rate for us. The hospitality can not be over-stated... absolutely beautiful family! Definitely recommend.

We had an amazing experience in Wikpattu Mooklan Resort! The owner and his son were taking care of us all the time and organized a great safari! It was a full day trip at a very affordable price, We managed to see 3 leopards, bear, elefant, crocodiles, tones of deers, and many, many other species of mammals, reptiles and birds. At night we could hear a lot of animals and it was an extremely peaceful time. The food was delicious and made with love. Absolutely recommended place!

The host Kalahara is kind and helpful and treats guests as his family.Nothing is too much for him. PROPERTY: Lovely homestay surrounded by trees and lovely garden.The room was spotlessly clean, spacious and airy. All the facilities like hot water, airconditioning, water pressure etc was perfect. BREAKFAST:Our breakfast was included and it was the best we had in Srilanka.Its varied everyday and its plentiful and very tasty.(SEE PHOTOS) We had 2 dinners cooked by his wife and they were delicious and generous portions. TOURS: Host Kalhara will organize tours at reasonable rate and his driver is a very nice person. we did a tour and driver was very patient and took us around paddy fields. Thank you Kalahara for a wonderful stay. LOCATION: Walking distance

We stayed two nights at Nilu’s and Malsha’s homestay, and it was absolutely amazing. After three weeks of traveling in Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura was our final stop before heading back to Colombo, and both my partner and I agreed that these last two days were the highlight of our trip. Malsha was a fantastic host. She gave us excellent recommendations, prepared fresh and delicious breakfasts, and even did our laundry. We truly felt at home during our stay. The entire family is incredibly sweet and welcoming. They also arranged a guided tour of the ancient city with their friend Kamal, which turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Having done several guided tours during our trip, we can confidently say that this one was the best by far. The value for money here is unbeatable and the location was also exactly what we had in mind. The homestay is situated in a quiet residential area, which we loved, and it’s only a quick 5-minute tuk-tuk ride to the city center. Thank you, Nilu and especially thank you Malsha, for an incredible stay. We highly recommend this homestay to anyone visiting Anuradhapura!

What a lovely place to stay, wish it was longer. Air con worked great. Friendly dog that guarded our room at night, so cute. Our host was lovely, calling us the day before to get the check in time right. And also made us a late delicious breakfast after we came back from our safari.

We stayed in this lovely home for two nights and I think that this was my favourite stay in Sri Lanka. The hosts are fantastic people, friendly and helpful and always with a smile. The rooms are simple but have everything that you need and have a lovely terrace within the beautiful gardens. But best of all is the food. We had breakfast and dinner on both days and we were served a selection of home cooked, Sri Lankan treats that were delicious. All together a fabulous experience that I’d happily pay more for.

The owner Gohan and his family are very welcoming. The place is nice and quiet, near the city center. The breakfast is rich, you can taste some tipical specialties from Sri Lanka. Gohan kindly drove me to Anuradhapura heritage sites, shown me the place and explained some of the history of the ancient Sinhalese civilization. I truly recommend to stay with them

We really enjoyed this place, which is by the airport (but we never heard a single plane) in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The hosts were very kind and the rooms were very comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again!

We loved this property and would highly recommend it. The host was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. He cooked us dinner each night and a breakfast each morning. Each meal had a massive spread of beautiful food. The property is extremely clean. It is close to Habarana to walk in if needed, however we didn’t do this as we were tired after a long day. Thank you for being a great host.

The place is nice and clean. The backyard is lovely with a couple of chairs and tables to chill and enjoy. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We rented bikes to visit the ancient city and one bike had a flat tire. We called the host and he immediately came to our location and exchanged the bikes. Really appreciated how fast he came to help! Walking distance to city center. By bike 5-10min to Bodhi Tree.

Mohamed was a fantastic host and his homestay is very relaxing, has good wifi, with large well-equipped bedrooms and and clean bathrooms, and the included breakfast was filling and tasty. Mohamed was kind and helpful, offering to pick us up and return us to the train station, renting us bikes, offering advice for Anuradhapura, and driving us to and from Mihintale Rock for sunset at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Meera Homestay for its great location, comfortable setting, and Mohamed's friendly help.

We spent three nights in this accommodation and it was really good. The room is big, the bed very comfortable and the bathroom with hot water. Everything was very clean. the location is very good, in a quiet street and not far from the centre. Nimal, the owner is very charming and helped us a lot giving us the information we needed. I highly recommend this place.

Property lies next to Nuwara wewa, one of the largest tanks in Anuradhapura and surrounded by a calm and quite neighbourhood. Including Anuradhapura city center, all the ancient sites were also situated close by. No restrictions and a wonderful host.

Awesome budget guesthouse in Anaradhapura. I was early round 11 am and could immediately check into my room. Radja is a friendly and helpful man. He brought me to the bus stop on his scooter when I departed.. Nice lounge to chill or charge your phone and you can even get a drink if you want. Radja even shared his last beer from the fridge with me. Thanks man. Guesthouse is located in a quiet street but close to shops, bars, restaurants and bus stop.
