It was a very clean and beautiful accommodation. The garden has a mango tree and we even saw some monkeys. A few steps away is a local vegetable and fruit market, we enjoyed. Breakfast and dinner was amazing! It was cooked by the hosts. They even helped us to buy something we lost on our journey and what is very hard to get in this area of Sri Lanka. Additionally we got great sight seeing insides. This guest house was.perfect for us.

Nice air-conditioned apartments in a beautiful shady garden. The apartments are located close to the sights, the lake and shops, but far enough from the busy main street. The host was very attentive and willing to help us with anything and completely arranged a safari for us, including transportation. He also lent us bikes, which we used to ride around the lake one day and the next day to ride through the historical ruins. We spent 3 nights in the villa and it was a wonderful experience that we highly recommend to everyone.

Like the title says this is a good budget stay. You have everything that you need, it is very close to the archaeological site, the food is delicious and in large quantities , and most importantly the owner and his mother treat you like family. I really enjoyed my time there as a solo traveller, they are very kind. The owner also has a jeep for safari.

The owner was so so friendly and funny and made us feel very welcomed. We really enjoyed relaxing in the pool after an exausting day in the ancient city. The garden is really nice and I loved the avocado tree. The food is really delicious and highly recommanded. Thank you for making our stay so nice and helping us.

great hosts who helped us with cycle hire for the ancient city and onward transport. The property is tucked away from the main road so is quiet but close to the ancient city entrance. Very reasonably priced for what you get.

The guest house is a great location, just down the road from the ancient city and I rented a bike to go and explore it. Food was amazing from the host, some of the best I had in Sri Lanka. I would definitely recommend a stay. Especially as a solo traveller it was a nice break for two nights.
