“You feel at home!”
ISanjeewa and his family were amazing! They make my stay so enjoyable and memorable. Even before of my arrival, they went above and beyond to make sure I arrive safe to the stay, they make sure felt comfortable and well taken care of. Sanjeewa was incredibly helpful in organizing my holiday, giving great local recommendations and helping me find trustworthy tuk-tuk drivers at fair prices. He genuinely cared about my wellbeing throughout my entire stay and was always available whenever I needed assistance. I also joined the elephant safari with him, and it was an amazing experience that I highly recommend, it was one of the highlights of my trip. The traditional homemade Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious. Sanjeewa is a truly kind and genuine person who clearly cares about his guests. His hospitality made a huge difference to my trip, and I couldn’t have asked for a better host. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting the area.

“Was okay.”
Good if you want to have elephant safari. The host arranges tour, better ask for binocular since it's totally by luck whether you can see it really up-close. Simple breakfast, bread, bananas and tea. Has a hommock outside. You see monkeys and peacocks too.

The family running this homestay took great care of us. It’s super peaceful, just a few kilometers from the town center. You can also coordinate your tours directly with the host, which is very convenient.

“So much value for the price!!!”
The host made the stay feel like home and his family is sweet aswell. It is placed a bit outside town, but still a nice location. It feels like you are in the middle of the wilderness with (friendly) monkeys climbing around everywhere and elephants roaming around at night (still safe). The breakfast is good, the room is nice and especially the outdoor area. Only minus is that there is only one charging outlet, which is not the best. We would for sure come again!

“Great few nights in a very friendly, comfortable hotel which served delicious breakfasts.”
The owner, Sanjeewa, was exceptional, nothing was too much trouble for him. He organised great Jeep drives with excellent drrivers who were also knowledgeable about the wildlife, the area and the society. The place was spotlessly clean, and the beds comfortable. There were no added luxeries but the basic towels, soap and similar were in the bathroom that had a good hot water system.

It was s great pleasure staying with this lovely family! Our children immediately became friends and we got all possible help and more. Unfortunately I had booked another safari before and couldn't cancel it. Otherwise we would have loved to make a Safari with them. Their jeep is great, comfortable and luxurious ;-) Breakfast was very good, the room had everything needed plus a nice terrace with a hammock!

Very friendly host who also helped us organize various activities. The location is ideal as a starting point to explore Sigiriya (25 min tuktuk), Polonnaruwa (1h bus ride near the homestay) and Ritigala (45 min tuktuk). Great elephant safaris for fair prices to the nearby national parks are also offered.

“Expectional Safari, basic rooms, and super friendly owner”
This place was one of the cheapest double rooms with bathroom I have ever stayed in, and it was worth every penny! The owner was super friendly and booked a Safari tour for us, with one of his friends who was an exceptional driver. He would always drive us to the best places between the other cars and right in front of the elephants in the National park. I loved the stay here! The rooms are really basic, and unfortunately it rained the whole time while we were there, but other than that, I loved it.

“This place is good value for money and the owner is so friendly and helpful.”
Very helpful owner who gave us lots of helpful recommendations and was really informative about the buses etc. The room is really comfortable. Considering it was so hot while we were there the fan worked really well and was quiet enough for both of us to sleep well. Delicious Sri Lankan breakfast in the mornings.

“Wonderful owner and his family. Good location next to the famous places.”
We liked everything about this accommodation. Location and room was really nice. Owner was wonderful, he waited for us almost until midnight and we had to wake up early. He prepared the breakfast for us. He got for us tuk tuk driver to Sigiriya and also to Kandy. Safari which he provided was unbelievable.
