“I miss everyone already! Life long friends ❤️”

This place was great! The family are so lovely and accommodate really well! Lovely to help local businesses! The food was amazing! Anything asked for was on the table that night! Truly would recommend to anyone going to Giritale!

“Great authentic place, amazing host and food”

One of my favourite places in all Sri Lanka. Away from the crowds and with greenery and a cannal to enjoy and relax. Nilu the host was the most amazing person , not just renting a room but providing an experience . The things Ive learn and saw were amazing. If you want something authentic this a place to go .

“Restful base for area exploration.”

This is a sanctuary stay in a rural place. It was easy to find with a bus from the cross roads stop in Habarana, on any bus going to polonnaruwa, getting off at Giritale, 2nd stop then walking a short distance along a canal road. Nilu and family are very welcoming. Breakfast included is delicious. Wonderful meals are available.

The host and her family were extremely helpful throughout our stay. The garden was beautiful and their dog Ellie was a delight! The cooking was delicious - very generous portions! It was lovely to try homemade Sri Lankan food.

“Overall very enjoyable!”

Very nice home cooked breakfast and dinners. The host tried really hard to help us make plans. We enjoyed the quiet location watching squirrels and birds. We stayed 3 nights to do a safari to the Eco Park and ro Kaudulla National Park. and catch the bus to Polonaruwa.

We had an incredible one night stay at Green Garden Homestay. Nillu (the guest) was super friendly, cooked delicious food for dinner and breakfast and we had a great conversation with her and her son. She also helped us arrange the safari to Huluro Eco Park, where we could see lots of wild elephants. We fell in love with her dog Elly, she was so cute and barked at the monkeys that tried to get close to the house! We would repeat for sure and recommend to our friends visiting Sri Lanka

Super friendly and sweet hosts! Really nice and clean room. The dinner was sooo delicious and breakfast too. You'll get spoiled here :)

Everything was good

“Very kind and helpful host. The location is amazing. You can see several birds and monkeys from your balcony.”

We received an extremely warm welcome from our host and her lovely family. She helped us arrange a nature tour and served an amazing curry for dinner.

“Hidden gem”

Best rice & curry so far (after 2 weeks in Sri Lanka)! The host is a very nice lady.

“A lovely and heartfelt place with amazing Sri Lankan food and a heartfelt host.”

The room had AC, a fan and bathroom with shower. Warm water sometimes didn’t work but there was soap and toilet paper for the tourists. The food (both dinner and breakfast) was amazing and we’d only recommend you eat at the property. The host was very nice and helpful.

Cozy place. We had a really good (local style) dinner and breakfast.

Great hospitality and great food.

“Great value and fabulous food.”

Loved the views from our room, it was so peaceful looking out and having comfortable chairs to relax on. Nilu the owner was so nice, she really looked after us and made us a delicious dinner, then breakfast. Ellie her dog was so cute and loved hanging around seeing what we were up to. Our driver was accommodated too with a lovely room and he was able to eat with Nilu and her family. Value for money and all the reviews are correct. Thanks for having us Nilu.
