The family went above and beyond to make my stay amazing. Helped me with train ticket, gave me a lift to where I wanted to go, and served delicious food. The house is completely new, in a quiet location and from the roof you can see some of the temples of the sacred city. Lovely spacious rooms. I would love to come back.

We were truly grateful for the exceptional assistance provided by the property owner. His efforts in arranging our Wilpattu Safari and city tour guide made our stay even more memorable. The staff also left a lasting impression with their exceptional service. From assisting with our luggage to warmly welcoming us with a choice of coffee or tea, their constant smiles added to the warmth of our experience. The breakfast was not to be missed - every aspect was meticulously prepared, resulting in a delicious and fulfilling meal. We extend our heartfelt thanks for making us feel truly at home, even when we were far away from our own.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming homestay and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The cleanliness of the accommodation was impeccable, making for a very comfortable stay. Located in a prime area, it was easy to access local attractions and amenities.

Additionally, the value for money was excellent, making it a great choice for travelers looking for quality accommodation without breaking the bank. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

Mapa and his lovely wife they are the most friendly family you can find on the planet. From the first moment until you leave you feel like you’re at your own place. You can definitely enjoy listening stories from Mapa and plus he’s an official tourist guide there in Anuradhapura. So you can learn a lot about history of Sri Lanka. And of course the best part is that you can enjoy the delicious foods of his wife every evening.

During my recent trip to Anuradhapura, I was lucky enough to stay at Sandakada Homestay which is located in the heart of the ancient city. The location was incredible and the accommodation was peaceful and relaxing. I felt welcomed and well looked after. The room was spacious and airy and cool due to the excellent air conditioning. I slept well as the bed was comfortable and the surroundings were peaceful. Great bathroom with a good shower plenty of hot water and immaculately clean. One of the best parts of my stay was the food. The homestay provided personalized dining opposed to one menu. I had an incredible traditional curry, it was absolutely delicious, this is a must stay for food lovers. The hospitality at Sandakada Homestay was exceptional. All the staff were welcoming and polite, I felt safe and looked after. Me of my favourite features was the gardens surrounding the home stay, they were beautiful kept and like a little bit of paradise. I highly recommend Sandakada Homestay is a wonderful choice for anyone visiting Anuradhapura. I wish I had been able to stay longer and will return when I visit again.

Ceylonima Home stay is a must! Mapa and Kanchi are the best hosts ever. Mapa is super helpful when planning trips or taxis (their brother is a great driver!). Kanchi has spoiled us with the best food in Sri Lanka. The room and bathroom were beautiful too! We highly recommend the homestay.

I had the most wonderful time at the Ceylonima Home Stay. It was my first accommodation in Sri Lanka and as a female solo traveler I felt very welcome and safe. I had dinner at the homestay the first evening which tasted great! The next day, Mapa gave me and my friends a tour through Mihintale. We really enjoyed learning about the Buddhist culture! Mapa and his wife make sure you have everything you need and the car ride to the train station is just perfect! Thank you for introducing me to your country😊
