Reviewed By ashanhet

We stayed 2 nights from April 26th at Aryana. We loved the place as it was very clean and welcoming. The rooms were clean and so was the Hotel. The staff were super friendly and helpful specially Chinthaka who was always helping us out with all our needs. The Sri Lankan food was Amazing. Kudos to the chef. The pool, the surroundings and the facilities were excellent. I must also thank the manager Mr. Nilusha Munasighe for the excellent service and very friendly and welcoming experience he provided during our stay. I have no doubts in recommending this hotel to any guest. You will not be dissaponted. A big thank you to all the hotel staff for the amazing experience provided to me and our family.

Goalma Tourist Rest

Amazing!

Reviewed By 127rossellal

Very nice family in a very nice location, near to the new town (5 min by tuk tuk) but in a very quiet place and (incredible, but true) with very few mosquitos!!! The family welcomed us with a lemon juice and helped us with anything we were asking. The price is also good especially for the great service. Wifi works really good and there are also tables outside to work with the laptop. We also had dinner and breakfast there and they were really, really nice (and traditional)!

Heritage Lake View

Terrible

Reviewed By Nish_TropicalBee

I made a reservation to this place over the phone before I made the visit to check the property. The owner informed me the villa is contained 6 rooms and it's a one-story building, he further assured me there will be no guests for the days I made the reservation. But to my surprise, at the time of my visit, the villa is a two-story building and there was a family already checked in. They have taken one room from the 1st floor and another room from the ground floor. With the covid 19 pandemics, we were thoroughly looking for a place where we could use as our own without any outsiders. So the inconvenience we face in a city where we had no one to help was indescribable. So we had to look for a nother place despite the reservation we made for this place. Not recommending!

Pearl House Resort

Gorgeous food

Reviewed By Q1750EXandyt

We stayed just one night as a family of four, occupying 2 of the 9 available rooms. As others have said in their reviews, this is more of a Homestay in a large house than a Resort. Despite no other guests, when we arrived the check-in process was not smooth. We felt sorry for the maid who was on her own and tried her best but spoke very little English. It became clear that the hosts were out at work. We were initially informed that no evening meal was possible, but luckily they changed their minds and the meal was wonderful - as was breakfast. One room was quite spacious but the other one was a bit cramped. It's a shame that there are no tea/coffee making facilities and requesting these results in an extra charge. Overall it is very good, though not deserving of the 5 stars that we have rated so many other homestays.

Wonderful Stay

Reviewed By Julie W

We were a little apprehensive when we first arrived and there was a little mix up with the booking (not the fault of the owners) but once we got into the room we were really happy. When we arrived we were greeted with cold towels and a welcome drink, amazing or a little resort such as this! Our room was spotlessly clean and fresh, the bathroom too and we had been upgraded to a family room so we had plenty of space, we also had a nice balcony with chairs and a table. The water from the shower was hot (but it does take a little time to run through) and we had a little fridge that kept our too large water bottles provided nice and cold. We had dinner and breakfast both days and both were delicious, the breakfast was particularly impressive, we couldn’t eat another thing until dinner that night! The food is cooked by the Mother and the 2 sons look after the guests and it was a 5* service from both of them, so helpful and kind. The beds were comfortable at the end of a exhausting day visiting all the sights and we slept really well. Their Father organised a Tuktuk tour around the sights for us and it was very enjoyable - take plenty of water, it can be very hot, and socks are a good idea as you cannot wear shoes in the temples (we didn’t and I wish we had). Ladies modest dress, men cover knees. A good tip if you are moving on is to use the pickme app, we found it very cost effective as we were given a quote to Dambulla that was a lot more than we paid. A lovely stay with a lovely family and I would recommend to anyone looking for good quality, budget accommodation. Be aware there is no alcohol served in this area.

Best hotel near Wilpattu

Without a doubt this wd be the best hotel near Wilpattu National park. Food - 10/10 Room - 10/10 Hospitality - 10/10 Value for money -10/10 Owner Gihan n Inzy were super nice. They can arrange Wilpattu safari with scrumptious breakfast n lunch. N.B- Don’t expect fast wifi in the middle of the jungle.

Willwin Park

The perfect place to stay when exploring Anuradhapura!

Reviewed By 541pollym

We absolutely loved our stay at Willwin Park. The location was perfect for exploring the ancient city - the family very kindly organised bicycles for us to access the sites! We had 2x breakfast and 2x dinners at the guesthouse, all of which were absolutely delicious! The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet. But the best thing was the kind, caring and thoughtful family, they made us feel so at home! They were extremely generous and made our stay so memorable ☺️ Thank you for having us! We really recommend willwin park as your stay in Anuradhapura ?
