kind hosts - clean room

Ou room was very clean and the hosts were very kind. They'd offered us a free welcome juice and cooked us delicious breakfast and dinner - just ask for it, it's a great value of price. They speak just little english but the communication is fine. Recommend!

For one night perfect, for two I would prefer to be closer to center.

Host was very nice, wanted to please us for all the questions and requiests we had. We had a lot of mosquitos in the room and she brought the aplicator for electrcity upon our request. Room was clean, had two large beds in, bathroom was good enough size for us. Host brought snacks on the garden while sitting out in the evening.

Clean and welcoming

Lovely welcome with a cool drink on arrival. Very friendly hosts that advised on where to eat locally booked us a tuk tuk when needed. Room was good, very clean (as was house and yard). Fan and aircon in room which was needed. Overall very good stay and would stay again.

I had an amazing experience during my stay at this booking. The hosts went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, surprising me with a refreshing drink upon arrival. They even offered me bed tea, a thoughtful gesture not mentioned in the facilities. Their kindness extended further as they generously dropped me off at the bus stand without any charge. The room facilities surpassed my expectations and I'm already looking forward to staying here again. Highly recommended!

Wonderful! Comfortable, convenient, and a very friendly environment ☺️

We had a wonderful stay at Umaya. The hospitality is second to none! The hosts are so friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast and tea each morning. The room was very comfortable and clean and had all the amenities needed. Would highly recommend! ☺️ A convenient location just a short walk from the swimming lake and not far from the sacred city

by far the best accommodation I have come across in Sri Lanka, I would come back here in a heartbeat.

The room was very clean and tidy, Madu made me lovely coffee in the morning and was beefy friendly and very helpful.
