The host was very helpful, he arranged safari for us and let us use his bikes to explore the town. They made very good lokal food! And he gave us many tips for the rest of the trip!

Emerald home stay is run by a wonderful family who couldn't do anymore for you if they tried. They have four beautiful rooms next to their home. The rooms are brand new, only just built and are exceptionally clean, spacious and modern. The beds are huge and all bedding is brand new and so comfortable. The bathrooms are equipped with hot water and a power shower. The facilities are fantastic, including an electric kettle, flat screen TV and air con. After completing a Vipassana up the road I was searching for some luxury and Emerald home stay did not disappoint! I ended up extending my stay here and I didn't want to ever leave! Thank you so much to the amazing family who went above and beyond. Giving me lifts to and from the bus stand just to make sure I was safe as a female solo traveller. Greeting me of an evening with fresh juice and even bringing me a special breakfast of milk rice on new years day!

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.

Excellent location, few steps from the gate of the National Park! Room was very comfortable and very clean. Bed was super comfortable too and mosquito net provided. Air con was a welcome relief from the heat. Bathroom was also spacious and clean, hot water was great. The owner was the sweetest man, his nephew messaged to ask if I wanted dinner, I declined, but the owner knocked on my door to give me fruit and ice cream so I wouldn’t go hungry at night. So sweet! His nephew also provided me with a welcome drink and even took me on the safari. Highly recommend doing the safari with them, they were the most affordable and they really considered what animals I wanted to see and tried their best to find them. The breakfast, lunch and snacks were so good! I was very well fed! They were very accommodating to me and really put in effort to help me when my card had issues. I will definitely stay with them again.

The owner was so lovely and diligent in making sure we had a comfortable stay. He also made us breakfast ready at 430am to take with us to the safari, including coffee in an insulated flask. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The small touches like including a mosquito coil at our table at our second breakfast was much appreciated!

Everything was perfect. Jeewa and his family took care of us as if we were part of the family too. He arranged everything we needed for a reasonable price. Jeewa also owns his own tuk tuk and will take you wherever you need. I really enjoyed our evening talk about everything. The food was perfect and the room was clean, big and comfortable. The breakfast was rich and tasty. Jeewa and his family are very hospitable people and I highly recommend everyone to stay here, you won't regret it. Thank you very much for everything!

I had the best time at Visu Villa. The staff is super helpful and knowlegable about the area and all things to see and do. The food was great and in the evenings we would sit and talk or hear some music from Mr. Dhilip. I would highly recommend. Big thank you to Ruwan and all his amazing staff!

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.
