Everything. Really good accomodation. Clean & super comfortable. Sanjay was a great host. His cooking was fantastic at dinner & breakfast. Organised Lion beer for us which was real +.He arranged for a tuk tuk driver to take us to the ancient city within minutes of our arrival. In addition a taxi next day to our next stop off. As per usual in Sri Lanka always a smile & such friendliness. Overall great stop off guest house. You wont be disapointed.

Wasantha has been our first contact with Sri Lanka and a great help even before we had a foot out of our plane! Recognised tourism driver, he picked us up at the airport and took us to Anurâdhapura after guiding us through SIM cards and ATM. His car is comfortable and while driving he gave us many advices. The Home Stay is comfortable, simple, clean and calm. The location is also very good. We had diner there and Wasa and his wife made us our first Sri Lanka curry! Very good! The family is welcoming! During our stay Wasantha was a great help to organise and put us in touch with Lalith for a super visit of the ancient city. We truly recommend Lalith for guiding!!

I recommend this hotel 100%, comfortable rooms, super clean both, the rooms and the bathroom. Very good location, bicycle and motorcycle rental. They also do transportation to the airport or other tourist sites. But the best thing about this hotel for sure is the attention of the owner(Nilu), super friendly, always concerned about his guests. He gives very good advice on where to eat and what to visit. and also they offer really delicious lunch and dinner services, as I said, 100% recommended

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😊

Great hosts, very helpful and caring. We had the best food and a great tour to Mihintale for sunset! There are some bicycles for rent at the homestay so you can visit the old city easily. Everything was great, we really enjoyed our stay.
