New Homestay with comfortable big rooms. Very nice shower, better than what I have at home. Silent airconditioning. Not cheap but worth the price because of the quality of the rooms. Extra will be breakfast 1200,diner 1500, softdrinks 300-500. Food good though. Contact with the manager only by phone, that's a pity, contact with the local family who takes care of the accommodation and food is very good, though little English.

The comunication with Leel and Nisal was very fluent and helpful before our arrival in Sri Lanka. They arrange the airport transfer to their place, the accommodation for two nights and the amazing safari in Wilpatu NP. Everything was great, all by plan (even the leopards) and we enjoyed a lot our stay. The place is super chill and surrounded by nature, just at the door of the national park. Everything is clean and the meals delicious. The best choice to meet wild fauna and wonderful people. Bohomo istouti!!

The property was lovely and serene. Kalahara, the host, was just exceptional. He does not overlook a single detail and he is gracious and willing to share excellent suggestions with you. I loved that he walked me through his garden, pointing out all of the unique trees and plants he has.

An absolute haven close to the sacred city sites of Anuradhapura. Peaceful, set back about 75m from the road. Beautifully appointed rooms and a welcoming dining/reception area - exactly as shown in the photos on this site. What the photos do not reveal is the exceptional service and kindness of the owner and all of his staff. Nor do they convey the outstanding quality of the meals served. It is rare to find a welcoming home away from home as good as Golden Ray Villa and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

We had such a peaceful and beautiful stay at this home stay. Highly recommend stopping in here on your visit to Anuradhapura. The hosts were super welcoming and helpful, made us feel like part of the family. Very clean and tidy spaces. The home cooked dinner and breakfast was DELICIOUS and can highly recommend the tuk tuk adventure to see Mihintele at sunset 🏔️🙂

I really really recommend Visu Villa! Ruwan is very kind and helpful. He can arrange whatever you need, from massages to safari trips. We felt like we were at home. Everyday there was a live music show in the afternoon. Food is also fantastic. Everyday we get different local breakfasts to try different things. In Visu Villa everything was amazing 😍

I recently stayed at Habarana New Star Home Stay for three nights and had a wonderful experience. The accommodation offers three rooms: two with air conditioning and one with a fan, all featuring ensuite bathrooms and kept very clean. The friendly hosts were a highlight, providing excellent hospitality and offering tuk tuk services to nearby attractions. The breakfast served was delicious, adding to the overall pleasant stay. The location is convenient, just a 5-minute walk from town. Highly recommended!

Fantastic place to stay in Anuradhapura! The Villa is beautiful and there's a shared space at the entrance where you can have breakfast and some light snacks. Large rooms with AC and Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms, and great hosts always ready to help - they also arranged us a tourist guide to visit the sacred temples of Anuradhapura!

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.

Place and the room was as explained in the site. All mentioned facilities were there cleaned and quiet. AC, hot water shower, bath room all were fine.Staff was very supportive. Planning to stay there next yr visit too. If anyone searching a place to home stay in peace meeting essential facilities for their pilgrimage,lakeside villa is ideal.

Mrs Kandamby and Mr Muthukudaarachchi, the owners of the property, take very special care in managing every thing in a very pleaseant and comfortable way. We would recommend any body to utilise this fine and excellently maintained facility if you are looking for a very comfortable home stay in a nice environment right at the heart of the big Anuradhapura city.

This is the second time Ambel Homestay. We would choose it again for our Anuradhapura trip. It is very clean, very close to the city but quiet location, very good facilities for the money we spend, and very quick access to all the important places in Anuradhapura city. Also, the owner and all his family members are very kind and friendly. I highly recommend this.
