We had such a wonderful stay here. The staff are so lovely and helpful will everything you could need. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable, good aircon and spacious size. The pool area is beautiful and very well maintained. The food was delicious and very well priced. The owner will organise anything you want to do - we did a safari which was amazing and well organised, picked up and dropped back off at the hotel and all tickets etc was sorted for us. The hotel organised amazing tours of Mihintale and the ancient temples with tuk tuk guide named Jaya - make sure to request Jaya as your tour guide! He was very kind and knowledgeable and we had the best time with him touring the beautiful temples.

This boutique hotel is top notch! So many wonderful details that made this our perfect stay: - 12 different bird sounds recorded during breakfast (we have an app) - Pool beautiful with lovely lounge chairs and shade umbrellas - EXCEPTIONAL FOOD! We ate breakfast lunch and dinner here our entire stay because it was so well done - Fresh cut flowers in the room - Full luscious live plants in the bathroom to mimic the beauty out our front patio - Large fridge and coffee and tea amenities - Luxurious stand alone tub under a sky light was well used by me - Soft full towels and bathmats - Very large room and bathroom which were both SPOTLESSLY CLEAN - CLOSE to everything one travels to Anuradhapura to see; not close to the town, but no need to go to the town - Each unit has its own koi pond with plants But the best of all was the warm and genuine service. Truly a diamond.

It was an exceptional stay! Everything in the house is in perfect condition, and the owner Palitha is very kind and helps to resolve any issues one might have. There are a few good restaurants nearby and bikes available to ride around the temples.

We had a wonderful stay at Yulawa Homestay. The rooms were very clean, and the location is perfect - close to the main sights and the Anuradhapura temple complex. Chaya was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. She kindly arranged two rooms so our family could stay together and also shared great recommendations for exploring the area. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to join the cooking class, which was a real shame, as the breakfast she prepared was outstanding. There was a generous selection of fresh fruit, along with toast and eggs and delicious dhal cooked with just a gentle touch of spice for us to enjoy. The property itself is lovely, with a beautiful garden full of fruit trees. Our room was tidy, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful and welcoming stay!

A hard working young family is building their future through this guesthouse, and they are doing a great job! The place is not fully finished yet, but whatever they rent out is impeccably clean, brand new and has large, airy spaces. Mosquito repellent is provided, water preassure is good, internet works - all of this at the same time is a rare find in Sri Lanka in this price range. The food the young mother is cooking is excellent! Very suitable for western palate. Overall it is a gem!

I think the hotel was good value for money. I liked the location- it was an easy drive to the Anuradhapura Buddhist Temple (well worth visiting at night) and to the Wilpattu Wildlife Park (also worth a visit - we were lucky enough to see a leopard!)

This is Sri Lanka's ancient capital.

This is Sri Lanka's ancient capital. It is known for its architectural genius and sophisticated irrigation network. Anuradhapura gives a glimpse of Sri Lanka's rich heritage and thus is an excellent location for the tourist to start a visit to Sri Lanka.

During my stay, the property owner made several inappropriate and judgmental comments about my affordability and my decision to share meals with my mother, who is disabled. His behaviour was rude and discriminatory. After I posted my review describing my disappointment, the owner contacted me directly on my personal mobile number using very abusive and offensive language. This message was completely unacceptable and made me feel unsafe.

Anuradhapura is an amazing and spiritual place.

Anuradhapura is an amazing and spiritual place. It's different from the other sites in Sri Lanka because it still attracts so many pilgrims to its religious sites. It's a good idea to dedicate one day to visiting the active pilgrimage sites and the next to the historical sites, for which you need a ticket. Remember to cover up with long trousers and sleeves and don't forget your socks, because the ground is really hot and you have to take off your shoes everywhere. If you have an extra day, you can also return to the sites at night, which is when pilgrims light candles. Make sure you've got the Pick Me app installed and look out for a tuk tuk driver called Nisha. He's absolutely amazing: great driver, kind and attentive and with good English. For dinner, the atmospheric Hotel Shalini is a good bet. The Seedevi family restaurant is another good place. If you want to have a beer, they can put you in a separate 'family' room, or you can go to the tiny 'pub' next door.

It is one of the best locations, slightly hot and humid, but if you love history and sightseeing, you cannot miss this location, further you can travel to multiple historic locations from here, we travelled to Mihinthale Temple and Mahiyangana, the drive was scenic, but Mihinthale will take your breath.

Very very friendly staff in an amazing hotel that has a sort of spa/wellness center vibe. We immediately felt relaxed. We had a really clean and spacious room with a garden view. Towels are provided at the pool and in the evening the food is yum! The staff also allowed us to use the pool after our Anuradhapura city tour even though we'd passed our check-out time. With the heat on some Sri Lankan days, this was especially nice before travelling to Sigiriya.

The rooms we got were great and the services from owners Kanchi and Supun even better. The setting of the homestay is quiet and beautiful. We had a fantastic cooking class with Kanchi and Supun guided us to Wilpattu Ntl Park, the Ancient City and the other sites around Anuradhapura. All at very reasonable prices.
