I loved the friendliness and helpfulness of the host and his family. He was able to help us arrange transportation to/from the guesthouse and also the safari jeep. The location is very quiet despite being by the main road. It’s located some distance from the safari but still relatively close by. we managed to see the elephant and even a leopard! The room itself was clean and well planned, all the basic amenities were provided for us.

The breakfast was excellent and tasty. My family enjoyed the breakfast. Just a suggestion that coffee be served rather than tea and milk be provided too.

We had a wonderful visit. The resort is located immediately outside the National Park, so the location is perfect. The room was comfortable and well equipped. The area is quiet and you can hear the birds and the jungle sounds (we even heard an elephant!) The resort is family run and the host, his wife and two sons were very friendly and helpful. The meals were good and (very) plentiful. We enjoyed a safari in the park with the host and there are walking paths on the lake outside the park where we saw lots of birds. Overall a great experience.

Kalhara is the perfect host , highly attentive and thoughtful about every small detail. The rooms are spacious, with a minimal aesthetic, well maintained and super clean. Every meal was a lovely home cooked spread, accommodating certain dietary restrictions . One of the best stay experiences I had during my two week trip in Srilanka.

Ruwan and his family and employees are fantastic hosts. They could not do enough for us and went out of their way in all respects. Ruwan organised tours to all the key sites in the Cultural Triangle ( Dambulla Cave temple, Polunnuwara, Ritigala, Sigiriya , Pidurangala and the Elephant Eco Park. He reaffirmed our decision to use Habarana as a base for 5 nights rather than move from place to place. He also arranged for a village tour/Spice Garden at no cost and drove us to and from Habarana Cultural Show which was fantastic. He provided Tuk tuk taxis as required by Antani, including transfer to Kandy. The Visu Villas are located just off the main road and we were able to walk in to Habarana for restaurants, supermarket and bank. We also ate at the onsite restaurant...some of the best authentic Sri Lankan food. For the incredible price we weren't expecting too much from the breakfast which was included. This turned out to be not the case. The food was vegetarian (requested) homemade, varied, delcious and amazing value for money. It was made at a time of your request or provided as a takeaway if required. The room was comfortable and clean. The air con and ceiling fan worked really well. The place had a swimming pool that other guests seemed to enjoy and two lovely tree houses for dining as well as more accessible areas. Ruwan even gave us a framed photo momento of our fantastic stay with his family. We would not hesitate to stay again.

Staying at Sweet Home Tourist Rest turned out to be one of the best decisions we made on our trip to Sri Lanka. It’s rare to find a place that offers both great value and a truly personal touch , but this one does exactly that. Instead of just a room, we had an entire private apartment, including a comfortable living room, which gave us so much space to relax. It was quiet, clean, and located in a peaceful part of town, making it easy to rest and recharge between our adventures. And considering the price, it felt like an absolute steal. What really made this stay unforgettable were the authentic experiences arranged by the hosts. Nilukshan helped us explore some of Sri Lanka’s most iconic sites with thoughtfully organized tours, the Wilpattu safari was stunning, and our visits to Anuradhapura and Mihintale gave us a deep appreciation for the country’s culture and history. Everything was well-timed, smooth, and stress-free. We also had the chance to join a Sri Lankan cooking class with Malsha, which ended up being one of our favorite memories. The class was fun, hands-on, and filled with flavor, we left not just with full stomachs, but with recipes and techniques we can take home with us. If you’re looking for more than just a place to sleep, if you want comfort, authenticity, and connection this is the place. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

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 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.

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.
