Wonderful 2 nights stay at Village Life Mihintale! We were hosted by Gihan's parents (it is a family homestay), who was away on a trip. Although he was not on property, Gihan was extremely responsive to WhatsApp messages and gave us many recommendations, as well as made the communication fluid between ourselves and his parents. The room was cozy, very new and clean, a bit on the small side, but it really didn't matter as the quality and thoughtfulness put into the design of the room and bathroom were spot on. Plus a nice terrace space with table and chairs were we could relax and also have dinner. The bed was very comfy, 4 pillows provided, aircon & fan, minibar fully stocked (beers, wine, water), kettle & tea bags, clothes hanger, broom, etc... The shower has a cubicle so water does not flow all over the floor. Bodywash, shampoo, conditioner, hairdryer, hand towel, bath towel are available. We had twice dinner at the homestay, cooked by the mother, delicious and good price. All in all, highly recommended! Professional & honest service yet homey feeling. Bonus: we saw peacocks, mangoose and other small animals just by sitting on the terrace! Also easy road & parking at the house.

The location is ideal for visiting the sites in Anuradhapura. Breakfasts and dinners were fantastic. Real expert cooking. The owners were exceptional, very kind and went above and beyond in the care of their guests and our driver. The accommodation is very clean and comfortable with air-conditioning, soft clean linen, towels and hot water. We fully recommend Sidhangana Home Stay.

Janaka is THE host—truly exceptional in the hospitality scene in Sri Lanka. He is incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel completely at home, while also being highly professional and attentive to all our needs. He went out of his way to help us plan our days in Mihintale exactly as we wished—and what he managed to organize for us was no small feat! He was also genuinely concerned for our safety throughout our stay: while Sri Lanka is a very safe country, his attentiveness was still much appreciated. The food cooked by his wife was amazing—made with quality ingredients, prepared beautifully, and full of bold, authentic flavor. Easily one of the top three meals we had in Sri Lanka. If you're planning a trip to Anuradhapura or Mihintale to explore the sacred Buddhist sites, and you're looking for something authentic and off the tourist trail, stay in Mihintale. It's rich with temples and spiritual atmosphere. Stay at Janaka’s place, ask him for advice, and you won’t be disappointed.

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.
