“A wondrrful place to stay, don't miss it!”

The room was spacious, immaculately clean and the bed very comfortable. There was a very large fridge for communal use. The family were wonderful and the breakfast was superb.

“Beautiful people, delicious breakfast and comfy room”

We had an amazing time at Emerald. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The bedroom was basic and comfortable (very comfortable bed) and with a tv. The breakfast was really great - incredibly delicious and lots of food. The location is perfect for sightseeing in the area. The value for money is also incredibly good.

We had a great night in Dambulla. The hosts were very helpfull and made a phenomenal dinner :)

We truly enjoyed our stay here. The family was incredibly kind and welcoming, and genuinely involved in making our stay as comfortable as possible. They helped us plan activities in the city, checked in on us when we returned late from our safari, and even drove me to the bank late at night to withdraw cash. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the breakfast was excellent. Be prepared - it’s a lot of food! I would definitely recommend staying here if you are around.

Friendly service, super comfortable bed, very spacious room, everything was perfect

“Perfect to visit Anuradhapura”

We had a wonderful stay here! The rooms are clean and very comfortable, and the accommodation is well located for visiting the sites of Anuradhapura. The hosts are incredibly generous and hospitable. They did everything to make us feel comfortable and helped us organize our visits. And above all, we had the best Sri Lankan breakfast of our entire trip!!! Thank you again for the little gifts when we left

“Amazing Homestay with a lovely host family and best Sri Lankan food”

The owners make the difference here. They are very polite, helpful and nice people and were the best hosts we had in Sri Lanka.

“Comfortable and friendly place to stay for the night while travelling though.”

Owner was lovely. Comfortable beds

“Great,, @@”

The hospitality and friendliness of the hosts (and the whole family) was just perfect, the spaciousness of the rooms and the cleanliness and great value for money. The breakfast is so complete and you taste the effort, thank you for our stay and making sure llll a great start of the day.

Wonderful host and the best food we had in Sri Lanka!

Really comfortable bed, very clean facilities and friendly hosts. Delicious food. Would recommend

“Home stay as it should be”

The family was very, very nice. They helped out with ideas and even a free ride to a site and the busstation. The house is modern. Breakfast and dinner are supurb. Communication is a breeze. The tuktuk driver Jana is ‘connected’ to the owner. He was also very knowledgeable and relaxed. We had a great couple of days with him.

“Exceptional”

We had an absolutely fantastic stay here! Mr. Mahinda and his wife were incredibly accommodating, doing everything they could to make us feel at home. Seriously, nothing was too much trouble for them. We had hoped for a rooftop terrace, but it turned out to be a floor still under construction. No problem, though—Mr. Mahinda immediately set us up with two chairs on our balcony. They are such warm and caring people; it honestly felt like staying with family. The Sri Lankan meals were not only delicious but also incredibly generous. They also perfectly arranged our Wilpattu safari, plus a tuk-tuk and guide for our visit to Anuradhapura. And to top it all off, the couple drove us to Trincomalee in their comfortable car for the next part of our adventure. What a truly wonderful experience! We would absolutely love to come back here again.

“This place is truly a hidden gem in the town!”

Our stay was absolutely wonderful — the room was very comfortable and stylish, easily comparable to a 3- or 4-star hotel. We felt completely safe and at home. The location is okay, but what makes this place truly special is the amazing owner and their lovely family. We had a fantastic home-cooked dinner, and they even helped us catch our early morning train. As we left, they handed us a beautifully prepared breakfast box with a sweet surprise :) Experiences like this are rare not just in Anueadhapura, but all across Sri Lanka. Highly recommended — thank you for everything!

Owner is very friendly and helpful, the breakfast is amazing. The rooms are very clean and have a properly working AC.

“Excellent Stay in Anuradhapura!”

The room is well equipped and the neighborhood is calm by night, we slept very well! The shower was not so clean, but the rest of the room was clean! The host and his wife are very kind and helpful. The food is generous and delicious, much better than some restaurants in the area!

Breakfast, location, friendly host family, big comfortable room with aircon
