Very nice and cosy hotel in Anuradhapura. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. The staff super friendly and the food very good. It was one of the best Hotels we stayed in while in Sri Lanka. The atmosphere was very calm and cozy. Would definetely stay there again. :)

What a hidden gem! This small boutique hotel with just three rooms is truly a recommendation. From the very first moment, you feel more than welcome thanks to the friendly and personal reception. Not only does the owner’s daughter clearly do her best to make guests feel at home, but the manager also brings a warm and personal touch to everything he does. The hotel just recently opened, and while they’re still figuring out the best approach in some areas, they more than make up for it with their helpfulness, genuine friendliness, and open attitude. You instantly feel at home here. The rooms are beautifully decorated, stylish and comfortable, with great attention to detail. And the breakfast? Fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared – the perfect way to start your day. In short: a personal and welcoming place, run with heart. You leave with a smile and a strong desire to return.

We had a wonderful stay here! The rooms are clean and very comfortable, and the accommodation is well located for visiting the sites of Anuradhapura. The hosts are incredibly generous and hospitable. They did everything to make us feel comfortable and helped us organize our visits. And above all, we had the best Sri Lankan breakfast of our entire trip!!! Thank you again for the little gifts when we left

The Water Front Home Stay was the first accommodation of our journey through Sri Lanka. Wasa picked us up at the airport and taught us a lot about his country, people and culture during the drive. He and his wife go above and beyond to provide a pleasant stay to their guests. We had breakfast and dinner at the home stay and both were very delicious. Wasa also organized great drivers/guides to both Mihintale and the Ancient City. He also went with us to see the Dambulla Cave Temple and dropped us off at our new lodging in Sigiriya. Ayubowan Wasa, we could not have imagined a better start of our trip! :)

Great location, close to the old city and ruins. Extremely friendly staff, who made daily recommendations of where to visit, and provided a map of the ruins along with a suggested itinerary. Very clean and well appointed room with a comfortable bed. Tasty breakfast and evening meal available on request. Superb value for money.

The homestay is in a great location, you have a beautiful view of the lake and can see the stupas in the background. By tuk-tuk it is 10 minutes to the ancient city and about 45 minutes to Wilpattu NP. The rooms are very clean, there was delicious food on request and the host was really nice and helpful. Really great!

Coming from a no aircondition bb, we loved the rooms with aircondition! Very clean with large beds, soap available (not all places have that) and great location. Close to the new bus station, shops and supermarked, and still very quiet. The breakfast was cheap and delicious with plenty of food. Owner really friendly and even offered to take us to the old bus station upon departure. We would come back any time!
