Lovely host family. Upon arrival they were quick to offer us tea and biscuits, setting up a table outside our room. We had a lovely discussion with them in the evening, and they gave us mangos and bananas from their tree :)

Our time in this place was a genuinely beautiful experience. Equipped with binoculars, we enjoyed observing birds by the lake during the day. In the evening, the owner generously offered us a ride to a larger lake, where we had the opportunity to look at the bird nests and trees full of bats in the middle of the lake. The family was exceptionally helpful, providing us with delicious meals and engaging in friendly conversations. Additionally, they organised a memorable safari for us. We felt truly welcomed and embraced by their hospitality.

Without doubt one of the favorite homestays I stayed during my time in Sri Lanka! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the family. We had three great days here, which obviously also added up to the experience. I truly enjoyed walking through the village. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment.

The host family is very nice. The young daughter speak a very good english and looks eager to train it and talk about their culture and traditions). The food I had was really good and they also greeted me with a fresh welcome juice. They let me help and Watch the dinner making and it was very pleasant. The rooms are big, very clean and Probably recently renewed (the a/c system seemed pretty new). The area is out of the city centre, but it is ist to get there in 20 minutes by walk.

I loved the authenticity of the place and the people here. Chilled backpacker vibes. Roberto is a great host ensuring a very warm welcome to guests offering tea etc . Loved the rustic architecture , very much in tune to surrounding Nature complimented with the animals on site. Lodge is set by the river so you can go for a dip and cool down. And ample space for you to relax, read and do yoga.

Amit is a lovely host with a stunning home to match. We can’t fault the cleanliness and comfort of the room we stayed in, not to mention his generous and hospitable personality. Amit greeted us with welcome beverages and arranged a private tour to Yala park with a packed breakfast. We chose to stay with Amit as his home is within close proximity to the safari park. After our safari morning, Amit organised a taxi for us to transport onto our next location. We wish we could have stayed longer! We would strongly recommend staying with Amit :)

The homestay is located in a beautiful garden. The room was spacious and clean. The hosts are the nicest people. They organized the safari and the private car to Ella for us. Homecooked breakfast and dinner were absolutely delicious and among the best food we had in Sri Lanka. Also we could try the fruit from the garden. Highly recommended!
