We loved how peaceful we felt staying at this property! It was a true village life experience. We would recommend taking a walk to the lake which is only 5 mins from the property. It is also conveniently located close to all the main historical attractions in Anuradapura. The staff are very friendly and helpful and even helped us organise a Tuk Tuk for sightseeing.

The most beautiful family of hosts that went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The rooms are brand new, very clean and tidy and well presented. The food menu was simple and the food incredibly tasty... and extremely good value! Organised a full day safari jeep at a fantastic rate for us. The hospitality can not be over-stated... absolutely beautiful family! Definitely recommend.

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed! Jonti was always attentive, he kept the place clean and tidy, a kind soul to chat with! I enjoyed cooking and sharing food with my roommates, and just chilling out in the common area. Watching animals coming and going in the garden was fun - mongoose, monkey, parrot, Bengali monitor, woodpecker, kingfisher, hornbill, etc. Two minutes walk to the lake for sunrise/sunset. Truly a gem in Anuradhapura!

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.

We had an amazing experience in Wikpattu Mooklan Resort! The owner and his son were taking care of us all the time and organized a great safari! It was a full day trip at a very affordable price, We managed to see 3 leopards, bear, elefant, crocodiles, tones of deers, and many, many other species of mammals, reptiles and birds. At night we could hear a lot of animals and it was an extremely peaceful time. The food was delicious and made with love. Absolutely recommended place!

Perfect place to stay for exploring Mihintale as it's a short walk from the guest house. Very close by are shops, restaurants and a bus terminal so if you are visiting Anuradhapura and want to stay somewhere not as busy this is easy to get to. I would recommend a stay here.

It's the best place to stay at Anuradhapura! It's so peaceful and the family is so kind. Best food and always very helpful. You can just spend the whole day at the little pond observing over 25 bird species or ride with the bicycle to the historic sites or walk to the nerby lake for sunset. I even stayed a day longer. The owners just bild a new guestroom which has the most wonderful view where you don't want to leave the bed.

The hosts of this home stay are truly amazing. Very welcoming and helpful. Kanchi is an amazing cook and her husband Mapa an amazing tour guide. He took us for a full day to see Anuradhapura, and we had a lot of fun with him. On top of that, the beds are comfortable and everything seems very clean. Although the location was not that central, for us it didn’t really matter because we were taken by a tour guide to see what we wanted and the city center for us wasn’t that attractive.

This hotel is the perfect place to stay for a couple of nights to get the full jungle experience. We stayed in one of their tree houses and it was so cool! The pool is beautiful and the location is right next to the Hurulu eco park. The hotel also organised a tuktuk to Lion rock on the day we arrived which didn’t take long at all. The food in the evening was really tasty and they offer free tea whenever you want it. Would recommend!

Mr. Palitha is very kind and helpful. Along with all the useful recommendations that he provided, he took his time to cook us breakfast before leaving. He has a beautiful family with a lot of stories to tell. After a long day of visiting, we relaxed outside, sitting on his picturesque porch near the lake, the only noise being the sound of nature. The location is clean, close to the city center. You are within walking distance from good restaurants, the lake and ATMs. The Anuradhapura ancient city is also reachable by a short tuk tuk ride.

Very friendly and helpful owner! Explained us what to see in Anuradhapura. Arranged a hotspot for us as the Wifi was not working during our stay. The location is a little bit outside the city center in a quiet neighborhood, but you have the option to rent bikes. Would book again here.

Good location (in nature but close to city center). Bed wlth mosquito net. Always hot water. Towels. The host is very nice and helpful (stopped the bus for us, borrowed a charger, ...). The host only speaks little english. One time he did not understand us so he called his son Ishan to translate. Breakfast and dinner were plenty, good and cheap. Habanara is the perfect location to visit Polonnaruwa, Annuradhapura, Sigyria and Dambulla - even by bus. Habanara is nicer than Dambulla.

For 1 or 2 nights this hotel is perfect. Comfortable, quiet and clean. The staff are very welcoming and will do anything to help, from cooking less spicy food to advising about places to visit. Not all of the staff speak English, but the owner is always on hand to help. Highly recommended if you want somewhere in good location to many of the tourist sites. One piece of advice, make sure you have cash as the card machine will only accept local bank cards! Thanks to everyone for a lovely stay.

This is a great place to stay to explore Anaradhnapu. Our room was huge & very clean with a balcony, kettle & tea/coffee. There is a lounge area & kitchen for guests to use & also a washing machine is available for free. Amilla, the host, also has bikes for guest use, again no charge. Great location, easy to cycle around the ancient city & also short walk to town. Great value for money & lovely host.

Golden Ray Villa is the perfect place to stay. Sanjeewa is the nicest person we have met in Sri Lanka, his food it's the most delicious we had, and each and every breakfast is diffetent and prepared with love. His attention to detail is amazing. The room was beautiful, super clean, and the beds are very confortable. The AC is very helpfull as it gets very hot in Anuradhapura in the hotter months. Inside there is this little garden, were you can relax, and a parking place inside (for us was very good since we had our own tuk tuk).
