10/10 EXPERIENCE 😍 The accommodation is very cozy and the family that welcomes you is nice and attentive. When we woke up in the morning they prepared us a typical Sri Lankan breakfast and in the afternoon we did a cooking workshop with them! We cooked together and then we ate, the result was delicious! It was very interesting to learn how to cook their typical dishes. They also gave us a lot of advice and help to prepare our route through the country the following days. I would definitely recommend this place to any friend passing through Anurahdapura. It's great if you want to really get to know the culture of the country. It is also a very central location. Thank you Gihan and all your family for making these days an unrepeatable experience! We took a friend with us.

We had the best stay at Meegahapokuna. The location is right next to the temple district, which is convenient for sightseeing. The family that runs the place are incredibly kind. They made sure that we were comfortable throughout our stay and helped us to rent bicycles and to find our bus at the station. The husband brought us in their tuktuk to these places. Their cooking is out of this world! We tried many of the dishes on the menu and all contained deep flavours, were freshly made and very filling. Some of the best food we ever had and for a good price. There is a nice 10 minute walk to the lake and the daughters accompanied us, thanks for the lovely chat! Bird-lovers can eat their heart out; while sitting in the relaxing chairs next to the pond at the resort we spotted many waterbirds, kingfishers, pelicans, hornbills, bee-eaters, eagles etc etc They have almost finished building a new, luxurious room at the second floor with great views over the rice fields.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is located in a peaceful and convenient area. The hotel provided a free pick-up service from the railway station, making my arrival hassle-free. The rooms were very comfortable, with well-functioning air conditioners, and everything was spotless, including the bathroom. The hotel also arranged a vehicle for all my tours at an affordable price, allowing me to explore the city with ease, including a fantastic city tour and a memorable visit to Mihinthale. The breakfast was well-arranged, and I enjoyed the beautiful garden view from the hotel. Overall, it was a quiet and pleasant place to stay, and I highly recommend it!

    This cozy and comfortable guesthouse is located near a busy main road with shops and restaurants but it was quiet because it is hidden away on a peaceful side street right across a man-made lake. The room was spartan but spacious and extremely clean. Inoka and Pali are the kindest and nicest hosts that I have ever met. They would offer me tea with warm smiles whether I was coming or going. They rent very serviceable bikes which are ideal for a day long trip to explore the sacred city. Highly recommend!

    This was a large very clean room at a high standard. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They arranged a guide & tuktuk to the scared city , which I recommend. The guesthouse is on the edge of a lake. It’s quiet and there’s lots of places to eat nearby. I highly recommend staying here.

    Coming from a no aircondition bb, we loved the rooms with aircondition! Very clean with large beds, soap available (not all places have that) and great location. Close to the new bus station, shops and supermarked, and still very quiet. The breakfast was cheap and delicious with plenty of food. Owner really friendly and even offered to take us to the old bus station upon departure. We would come back any time!

    The guesthouse is like a family home, basic but nice (U pay for what U get). It located in a countryside, old city, beautiful and quiet area with few shop at 10min walk. The owner is a great host, he helped me to organise my stay in Sri Lanka, good conversation and he even cooked a great dinner for my last night. I definitely recommend this place!!
