The swimming pool is huge and perfect to relax in after a very hot day in Anuradhapura. It only costs 1.500 rupees to rent a bike for a day, which is a perfect way to discover the city. It’s also not a far tuktuk ride to Mihintale, which is beautiful. The staff is very friendly. The location of the hotel is a bit far from the city centre, but for us it was perfect as the city itself was not as nice and very dusty. A perfect place to relax and enjoy nature.

It's the best place to stay at Anuradhapura! It's so peaceful and the family is so kind. Best food and always very helpful. You can just spend the whole day at the little pond observing over 25 bird species or ride with the bicycle to the historic sites or walk to the nerby lake for sunset. I even stayed a day longer. The owners just bild a new guestroom which has the most wonderful view where you don't want to leave the bed.

The hosts of this home stay are truly amazing. Very welcoming and helpful. Kanchi is an amazing cook and her husband Mapa an amazing tour guide. He took us for a full day to see Anuradhapura, and we had a lot of fun with him. On top of that, the beds are comfortable and everything seems very clean. Although the location was not that central, for us it didn’t really matter because we were taken by a tour guide to see what we wanted and the city center for us wasn’t that attractive.

Mr. Palitha is very kind and helpful. Along with all the useful recommendations that he provided, he took his time to cook us breakfast before leaving. He has a beautiful family with a lot of stories to tell. After a long day of visiting, we relaxed outside, sitting on his picturesque porch near the lake, the only noise being the sound of nature. The location is clean, close to the city center. You are within walking distance from good restaurants, the lake and ATMs. The Anuradhapura ancient city is also reachable by a short tuk tuk ride.

The location is great, out of the city center, quite and close to the lake. The breakfast is AMAZING!!! I was not able to finish it... The owner was always ready to help and he even played boardgames with us! The area is really quite and you can find nice restaurants close by.

Very friendly and helpful owner! Explained us what to see in Anuradhapura. Arranged a hotspot for us as the Wifi was not working during our stay. The location is a little bit outside the city center in a quiet neighborhood, but you have the option to rent bikes. Would book again here.

We had a lovely stay at Ceylonima. The owners are so kind and took care of us during our stay with a lot of attention. Mappa is an excellent guide to visit the different temples and sacred place and his wife an excellent cooker. This was one of the best food we had in Sri Lanka. Room was very clean with aircon and hot water and the location is perfect to discover the area. We recomend it at 100%

This is a great place to stay to explore Anaradhnapu. Our room was huge & very clean with a balcony, kettle & tea/coffee. There is a lounge area & kitchen for guests to use & also a washing machine is available for free. Amilla, the host, also has bikes for guest use, again no charge. Great location, easy to cycle around the ancient city & also short walk to town. Great value for money & lovely host.

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).
