Everything. Really good accomodation. Clean & super comfortable. Sanjay was a great host. His cooking was fantastic at dinner & breakfast. Organised Lion beer for us which was real +.He arranged for a tuk tuk driver to take us to the ancient city within minutes of our arrival. In addition a taxi next day to our next stop off. As per usual in Sri Lanka always a smile & such friendliness. Overall great stop off guest house. You wont be disapointed.

The welcoming feeling Wasantha provides when you stay at his homestay. Delicious Sri Lankan breakfast and dinner! Everything is clean and comfortable and you get many great tips! His house is located in a calm green neighborhood, which is nice after your day exploring. He is also a guide/driver, in case you are looking for one to explore Sri Lanka. Would recommend staying here!

The distance between the homestay and the ancient city is acceptable if you have your own vehicle. Mapa and his wife were super nice and they offered authentic local dinner (expense charged on top of the room charges). Breakfast was great!

5 stars for the hosts. The whole family is extremely nice and really make you feel at home. They can help you organise your trip if needed. The homestay is really well located, in the city center but on a very quiet back road, right in front of the lake. The room was basic but spacious and very clean. Very good value for the money. I would highly recommend!

Ceylonima Home stay is a must! Mapa and Kanchi are the best hosts ever. Mapa is super helpful when planning trips or taxis (their brother is a great driver!). Kanchi has spoiled us with the best food in Sri Lanka. The room and bathroom were beautiful too! We highly recommend the homestay.

I had the most wonderful time at the Ceylonima Home Stay. It was my first accommodation in Sri Lanka and as a female solo traveler I felt very welcome and safe. I had dinner at the homestay the first evening which tasted great! The next day, Mapa gave me and my friends a tour through Mihintale. We really enjoyed learning about the Buddhist culture! Mapa and his wife make sure you have everything you need and the car ride to the train station is just perfect! Thank you for introducing me to your country😊
