I stayed in one of the budget rooms, which were surprisingly spacious, spotlessly clean, and quietly tucked away in the back garden; perfect for a calm night’s sleep. The food (both breakfast and dinner) was to die for. All home-cooked by the grandmother with so much love and flavour. The family was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to help us: sharing honest tips about what to visit in Anuradhapura, organising a half-day safari, and arranging transport with fair prices. But what makes this place truly special is their story. They started with just one room about 10 years ago and gradually grew to eleven, without ever raising their prices for food or accommodation. Hands down, this was the best quality stay and food I had in Sri Lanka so far.

Emerald home stay is run by a wonderful family who couldn't do anymore for you if they tried. They have four beautiful rooms next to their home. The rooms are brand new, only just built and are exceptionally clean, spacious and modern. The beds are huge and all bedding is brand new and so comfortable. The bathrooms are equipped with hot water and a power shower. The facilities are fantastic, including an electric kettle, flat screen TV and air con. After completing a Vipassana up the road I was searching for some luxury and Emerald home stay did not disappoint! I ended up extending my stay here and I didn't want to ever leave! Thank you so much to the amazing family who went above and beyond. Giving me lifts to and from the bus stand just to make sure I was safe as a female solo traveller. Greeting me of an evening with fresh juice and even bringing me a special breakfast of milk rice on new years day!

Golden Ray Villa is the perfect place to stay. Sanjeewa is the nicest person we have met in Sri Lanka, his food it's the most delicious we had, and each and every breakfast is diffetent and prepared with love. His attention to detail is amazing. The room was beautiful, super clean, and the beds are very confortable. The AC is very helpfull as it gets very hot in Anuradhapura in the hotter months. Inside there is this little garden, were you can relax, and a parking place inside (for us was very good since we had our own tuk tuk).

Mapa and his lovely wife they are the most friendly family you can find on the planet. From the first moment until you leave you feel like you’re at your own place. You can definitely enjoy listening stories from Mapa and plus he’s an official tourist guide there in Anuradhapura. So you can learn a lot about history of Sri Lanka. And of course the best part is that you can enjoy the delicious foods of his wife every evening.

Ceylonima Home stay is a must! Mapa and Kanchi are the best hosts ever. Mapa is super helpful when planning trips or taxis (their brother is a great driver!). Kanchi has spoiled us with the best food in Sri Lanka. The room and bathroom were beautiful too! We highly recommend the homestay.

I had the most wonderful time at the Ceylonima Home Stay. It was my first accommodation in Sri Lanka and as a female solo traveler I felt very welcome and safe. I had dinner at the homestay the first evening which tasted great! The next day, Mapa gave me and my friends a tour through Mihintale. We really enjoyed learning about the Buddhist culture! Mapa and his wife make sure you have everything you need and the car ride to the train station is just perfect! Thank you for introducing me to your country😊
