Our Sri Lankan tour ended up in Anuradhapura and we couldn’t choose a better place to stay. We only spent one night but Bas and his family have been so welcoming and we didn’t want to leave. The room was really nice and spotless; for the first time we didn’t have to bother using the mosquito net as the window was perfectly closed and the bathroom door as well, so no mosquito could get inside. We had a good sleep, the mattress was very comfortable and the location was noise free. As we only had the afternoon to explore the old city Bas immediately made himself available with his tuk tuk, to show us some unmissable sights, despite our last minute request, at a very reasonable price. He is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, we learnt so much about history, culture and much more. He also drove us to pick up some food and dropped us at the train station in the early morning, we have really appreciated that. If you are in Anuradhapura do not hesitate booking here!

The rooms were all upstairs and for elderly people it would feel troubled.

Location is good as enough room for parking and some play area for the kids. Many amenities were there including iron, facilities to make tea, lobby etc.

We liked just everything. The people are so friendly and the host is just adorable. It was lovely to talk to him. He definitely has a good heart and wants to make your stay as good as possible. The rooms have a mosquito net and air conditioner and a fan. Everything worked just fine. He also recommended us a place to eat and then just quickly drove us there. He is so kind. There is nothing I can say against it.

We weren’t informed in advance that there was an additional air conditioning charge of 500 LKR per night, but we were happy to pay as the accommodation was already so cheap. The bed was a bit hard and the bedding could have been improved by having a duvet. Although, overall it was a great a stay!

We liked being able to use shared facilities such as a kettle and outdoor table. The staff were so kind and helpful! The welcome drink and snack were absolutely delicious. The host allowed us to put some things in their fridge as the communal fridge wasn’t working. He was really informative about the ancient city in Anuradhapura and helped us to avoid paying for the 30USD ticket. Outstanding value for the price!

Nothing :)

We had two very nice days at Bas Balcony. Our Host took care about us at any time. With his Tuktuk he brought us to the city, the bus station, to restaurants and did a privat temple Tour for us. He is a very kind and friendly guy and we felt very comfortable.

This must be the place. Not only we found an amazing place, but people who helped us for everything, from the trasferts to the guided tour in exclusive places. The cheapest and most valuable stay you can find in Anuradhapura

Wifi wasnt working very well. The fridge is freezing the products.

The place is quite and nice. The owner is a hard worker and very nice person that gave us fruit everyday and was so kind offering help all the time. The room was fabolous.

On the Booking.com there is a wrong adress. You need to use the directions from Google Maps.

The hosts are really friendly and nice, the acommodation was very well equipped (it has a hair dryer, fridge, cattle, mosquito net, silent fan, AC...), it's in a quiet locality. The room was very clean and cosy.

Very nice family, they went out of their way to make the stay perfect for us. The room was clean, the local breakfast was delicious and they even arranged a tuktuk tour to the ancient city.

We would be happier if they would use some natural incense for the room and bathroom to smell good than chemical ones.

It is located at a quiet neighbourhood, the garden is very nice. Mr Bas and his family are very welcoming. Our room is clean, we especially like the wall lamp which the brightness can be adjusted. We haven’t seen it anywhere in Sri Lanka so far. The was a small problem during our stay, Mr Bas reacted very fast and took care of it quickly. He cares about his guests.

We had an amazing stay at this property for 2 nights. The room was perfect- lovely comfortable bedroom and bathroom which were both very clean. The facilities at the property were also great providing a shared terrace and lots of space! We also arranged a tuktuk tour around the old town with the host which was great would definitely recommend! The hosts were very friendly and generous and went out their way to ensure we had an easy and relaxed stay. Definitely stay here if visiting Anuradhapura!
