Lovely host family. Upon arrival they were quick to offer us tea and biscuits, setting up a table outside our room. We had a lovely discussion with them in the evening, and they gave us mangos and bananas from their tree :)

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was lovely, the place was friendly and we had a great time. Great communication between Sam’s place and us before we travelled ensuring all our needs were met when we arrived. They were very helpful and provided us with information and recommendations for things to do in the area. I would recommend and we will be booking again soon. Thank you Sam!

It's a traditional Sri Lankan house converted to a hotel and it's located right in the center of the Bibila city. The hotel staff is very polite and friendly to us. The food was also really delicious and we enjoyed it. The garden is also full of the plans and greens. 💯 recommended.

Even though hotel is located by the Ella-Wellawaya road, the location is very calm. Construction wasn't done in some parts of the facility. But the available rooms were at good standard. Good value to your money.

Awesome location in the middle of the forest. If you're looking for the real Sri lanka or to see the real Sri lanka life this is the place for you! Michael the host is just amazing and will do anything to make you feel at home and will assist with anything you may need. I was travelling alone so we were preparing dinner together and he expalined me everything bout the local food. Overall it was great experience for me and if you're in the area i would highly recommend to stop over :)

We really enjoyed our time in Sunshine Guesthouse. The room was clean and in a very quiet location. The shared kitchen contains a large fridge, a kettle and free filtered water. The mosquito nets had no holes and worked really well. All the rooms on booking.com are non AC but we paid extra to have the AC switched on because there was an AC unit in our room. It worked really well. The location is off the main road and about a 10-15 minute easy walk to the centre of town. Tuk tuks are also very affordable in this area and plentiful. We were greeted with a cold drink on arrival and our host arranged our safari into Yala National Park for a really good price. The guide was excellent and found us leopard, elephant, sloth bear and lots of other animals. The guesthouse host also arranged our Tuk Tuk to Ella, which was really helpful. The host is so helpful in every way and took great care of us without being at all pushy. We were even allowed to use the washing machine! This guesthouse is the best value for money we found in Sri Lanka. Kataragama has a very local feel to it and we found food to be very affordable and good. The temple is totally worth at least one visit of a few hours. If we were to return to Kataragama, we would stay in the guesthouse again.

Really well located, quiet but a few minutes' drive from the town and 20 minutes from Yala National Park. Owners are so lovely and helpful, helped us sort a safari at short notice and made us lovely dinners. Aircon worked well.

Michael the host and owner of the resort is the best host I have yet experienced. The place was clean and beautifuly set in a nature setting. Micheal took us on a stunning hike through the mountains, took us to the local market, cooked for us and gave us a Sri Lankan cooking lesson. He was above and beyond nice, helpful and hospitable. A plus are the kittens and a sweet dog that roam around the place. I am looking forward to my next visit.

The host family is very nice. The young daughter speak a very good english and looks eager to train it and talk about their culture and traditions). The food I had was really good and they also greeted me with a fresh welcome juice. They let me help and Watch the dinner making and it was very pleasant. The rooms are big, very clean and Probably recently renewed (the a/c system seemed pretty new). The area is out of the city centre, but it is ist to get there in 20 minutes by walk.

I loved the authenticity of the place and the people here. Chilled backpacker vibes. Roberto is a great host ensuring a very warm welcome to guests offering tea etc . Loved the rustic architecture , very much in tune to surrounding Nature complimented with the animals on site. Lodge is set by the river so you can go for a dip and cool down. And ample space for you to relax, read and do yoga.

The hosts take an enormous amount of care to make their guests are treated well and feel happy. On arrival we were greated with a pot of tea and advice about the area, where to eat and an offer to visit the famous cliff Buddha statues at Buduruwagala. Which are definitely worth the tuktuk trip. Water is always on tap. The Sri Lankan breakfast for 2 cooked by mama host would have been enough for 4. Wonderful! The place is a green oasis in the town centre. Even the shower water was cold from the hills towards Ella.
