    Bathroom could be little bit cleaner, but it was totally okay :)

    Good price, very helpful, carring and kind owner and his family. I felt very welcomed and taken care of. AC was a life saver during the night, comfortable bed.

    The proprietor was very friendly, if a bit overbearing. Wonderful food, close to Sigiriya. The surrounding town was idyllic and has very friendly people.

    Great guesthouse with a lovely host family. The room was comfortable. I had breakfast and dinner which were both very good. The guesthouse is in a peaceful and quiet part of the town and there is a beautiful lake round the corner. The hosts helped me organise tuktuks and bike hire.

    This guesthouse offered a truly delightful stay! The hosts were exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, readily assisting with any request. The location was perfect – a tranquil escape just off the main road, yet conveniently close to Lion Rock. This quiet setting was a welcome respite after a day of exploring. A further bonus was the delicious breakfast and dinner provided by the hosts – a welcome convenience and a tasty treat. Overall, a highly recommended experience.

    We spent two nights here exploring sigiriya and polonnaruwa, and found it perfect for our needs. The room was spacious and comfortable, with good AC and some cute animal friends nearby. It was the owner and his family that made it really worthwhile - we loved meeting them and they went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met, providing a Sri Lankan breakfast and ordering in delicious kottu for our dinner.

    The scooter came with empty tank, probably a standard here. And a few frogs haha but that's no problem.

    The owner was VERY helpful during the whole time, always there checking on us, bringing water, organising thigs. Room was ready in a short time after booking. He got us a great and knowledgable driver to Hurulu Eco Park safari. He also arranged a good scooter for us and a great tuk tuk driver who even caught us our bus to Kandy. :) The owner also called us after to make sure our travels went okay. Very good place if you want to feel like at home where you're taken care of.

He also arranged a Tuk Tuk drivers when we needed it. Breakfast really nice and dinner really good!! 100% recommend the stay here! Price is very good!

    There is no hot water in the shower, and terrible sound insulation. I've been arranging a transfer from the airport with the hotel owner for several months. On the day of arrival in the morning, he writes that the cost has increased 1.7 times because the driver does not want to drive at the initially agreed price. As a result, I got there with the help of PickMe, the price turned out as originally agreed with the owner.

    Low price, good breakfast

    Owner not staying in the property, we have to make a phone call every time. Basic amenities were provided. Wish they provide a Kettle and glasses and bowels too.

    Good location for long stay, as we stayed for one night the transport was expensive. The property is far from the main road. Good environment to stay for long.

    The owner was constantly trying to sell us something. I get that when they want to present the options, but asking for the plans all the time and trying to force something every minute that we spent near the room just didn't feel nice. The breakfast was OK, although we had richer breakfasts elsewhere. The room was ok, classic with basic furniture but it had AC. The bathroom could be cleaner and it would be nice if there was some net on the bathroom window. He did arrange the driver for the morning hike to Pidurangala but again, would be cheaper if we'd arange it ourselfs. In the end, he tried to charge us 2000 lkr more then the booking said, when I corrected him, he just said "yes". So...all about the money, nothing else. Felt a lot more welcome in other homestays :)

    Good location, close to the lake and 10min walk to the main road.
