The recently renovated Water Front Home Stay offers accommodations with garden and terrace in the heart of Anuradhapura.

Wonderful host; took care of all our requirements - station pick-up, vehicle arrangement for visit to important tourist locations and for our onward travel to Dambulla. Loved the homemade dinner & breakfast prepared by the host family. Special thanks to Driver Mr. Irosh and his cousin / Guide Mr. Lalit who accompanied us for a couple of important locations. Highly recommended.

Olivia HomeStay offers accommodations in Anuradhapura, 3 miles from Nature Park Anuradhapura and 3.2 miles from Kada Panaha Tank.

Peaceful, close to the ancient city. We were able to use the fridge, there was a toaster and kettle. There was a nice shared space for eating a light meal. Our host shared lots of good information, helped us rent bikes and on our last morning drove us to an important temple that we had missed then took us to the train station.

    The stay at Corner Cottage was the highlight of our trip. This young couple is welcoming and energetic to create an exceptional yet homey experience for tourists. Make sure you request dinner! Amazing food and with a tuk tuk on site it was so convenient to get a ride to the bus and our own tour!

    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😊

    Probably the best home stay you can find around Anuradhapura. Hosts are super kind and super friendly. They will do everything to make you  feel comfortable. They were waiting for us with a 😊 and after 5 minutes chat we were just family. Comfortable room with AC, fast internet, tv and a spotless clean bathroom. They were even kind enough to lend us their son's bicycles for our little rides. And also food was excellent. Recommended for anyone visiting Anuradhapura looking for a homestay.
