I had a really pleasant stay at manushkas place. Would always come again 😊

You'd probably want to take a bike or a Tuk Tuk if you want to go to the city center. Plug in the 'anit-mosquito device' before going to sleep! There's not many of them around, but one would always wake me up when I forgot to!

Manushaka was very friendly and always happy to help with suggestions about what to do. Location was a bit outside the city in a small neighborhood, so it wasn't close to much, but there was a nice garden with lots of animals always hanging around.. Scooter and bicycle rentals were easy to arrange and the food was very nice with the same price you'd expect at a local restaurant!

Maybe the location. It's located 10-15min walk to the main road, where you can catch a bus or tuk tuk. It was not the issue for us.

The owner is really nice, he gave us some excelent tips to see some cool, free spots in the city. At the last day when we needed to catch the bus and it was pouring like crazy, he offered to drive us to the bus station for a small fee. We also had all our meals there and each of them was more amazing than the last. His mom is a really skilled cook, which offeres you a chance to experience amazing traditional cuisine. Their garden looks like a sanctuary. When you have your meal infront of the house, you can observe lots of wild animals visiting and walking around, so truly pristine Sri lankan experience.

Such a quiet and natural space. Lovely garden with various birds and squirrels. The hosts are very friendly, the food is great (and so is the juice!). I recommend :-)

Beautiful property, kind owners, the best ice cream, delicious dinner! We had a wonderful stay here and would highly recommend it! Everything was perfect! So many birds in the garden like peacocks and green parrots! We even got to see Sri Lanka’s national animal!

It was very hot in the room - but, you are paying for a fan room, so, you know what to expect. We still had a great sleep 👍

Really lovely family vibe, in a nice home - staff were so lovely, and the breakfast was delicious 🥰

There are a lot of mosquitoes in the bathroom, but it's okay if you don't mind. There is Wi-Fi, but sometimes it connects and sometimes it doesn't.

They provided dinner and breakfast. Fried rice is $2.50 and omelet is $1. The owner is kind. Beds are clean. Baths and toilets are shared.

Racist neighbouring dog :D

Very accommodating host, Manushka goes above and beyond if you need anything. Amazing food at local prices, which is nice for a change. Bicycle to explore the ancient city and get into town. Beautiful garden if you're just looking to relax in the area.

Super friendly hosts, a family run guesthouse with 3 bedrooms for guests, they prepared a very nice dinner. Room had no ac, only fan, but that was fine for me, I slept very well. Would definitely come back. Very good value for the price! Thank you so much!

The bed was a bit hard and in the morning squirrels made noise outside on the roof. However, I have to admit that wasn’t a problem as I could sleep like a baby there

My stay in Anuradhapura was fantastic and it was the cheaper of all my trip! The house is very nice and in a quiet neighbourhood. The room was basic, but clean and good for two nights. Although I had a shared bathroom, it’s only with two more rooms and it was clean and comfortable. When I arrived I had a delicious sri lankan lunch and I also had dinner there every night with the other guests and it was a nice moment to share and know each other. Having the chance to rent a bike for FREE was the best! And Manushka is going to be the best city guide ever and going to help you with everything!
