Wonderful stay with Gihan and Dinu! We stayed twice for a total of 7 nights. A wonderful, authentic experience in Sri Lanka. They are extremely kind and welcoming. They speak English very well, and we were able to take the time to ask questions and discuss many topics such as culture, sports, politics, food, customs, etc. This allowed us to better understand this country. They truly care about their guests, making sure we have everything we need and giving great tips for visiting the city and its surroundings. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner if needed (we recommend trying it at least once because it's delicious). We did the cooking program, which involves buying ingredients at the market and then cooking together. It was great to see all the flavors they add to the dishes we enjoyed afterwards. They know a contact for a safari in Wilpattu National Park and can help organize it. Regarding the accommodation, it's located on a very quiet alley. There's a kitchen available and a pleasant terrace overlooking the small garden. The rooms are well-equipped and pleasant. We recommend a stay here for a wonderful human experience. Thanks to Gihan and Dinu

ThilakaRatne & his wife Kanchana are really hardworking & amazing hosts. The property itself is amidst the Paddy fields on one side & the jungle to the other side, which makes an ideal place to stay if you love nature. Thilakaratne has his own farm & he lays all those fresh produces on your table everyday. The Food they served were all very delocious & they were also very reasonably priced. I also took the tuktuk services, where he himself drove me around the Anuradhapura city ruins,concluding in Mihintale. If you are in Anuradhapura, I definitely recommend this place

We had a fantastic one-night stay at Pearl House Resort. The location is excellent—very close to the main city and attractions. The rooms were spotless, with great air conditioning and hot water available. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, always available when we needed assistance. Our booking was for two rooms, but they were not adjacent. The hosts went above and beyond by offering us a bigger room for the same price, which we truly appreciated. Overall, a great experience, and we would definitely stay here again!

Awesome place located by the lake. Really clean. And the beds are really comfy. Note the showers are cold but that is really welcome after a hot day cycling! Super close to town and restaurants. The hosts are really helpful. And you can hire bikes from them to tour the sacred city which is a fab way to do it. Walking round the lake is also lovely with all the restaurants on the lakeside. Best value stay for our entire 5 weeks in Sri Lanka

Our stay at Village Life Mihinthale was absolutely wonderful. If you're interested in exploring historical sites, this is the perfect base. The location is excellent, offering a clean and calm environment, and it's conveniently close to the beautiful Mahakanadarawa Lake. What truly made my experience special was the host, Gihan. He was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable time. He even guided me to a fantastic viewpoint to witness a breathtaking sunset over Mihinthale – a view I wouldn't have discovered otherwise. I'm so grateful for their warm hospitality and highly recommend Village Life Mihinthale to anyone visiting the area.

    This cozy and comfortable guesthouse is located near a busy main road with shops and restaurants but it was quiet because it is hidden away on a peaceful side street right across a man-made lake. The room was spartan but spacious and extremely clean. Inoka and Pali are the kindest and nicest hosts that I have ever met. They would offer me tea with warm smiles whether I was coming or going. They rent very serviceable bikes which are ideal for a day long trip to explore the sacred city. Highly recommend!

    This was a large very clean room at a high standard. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They arranged a guide & tuktuk to the scared city , which I recommend. The guesthouse is on the edge of a lake. It’s quiet and there’s lots of places to eat nearby. I highly recommend staying here.

    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!

    The guesthouse is like a family home, basic but nice (U pay for what U get). It located in a countryside, old city, beautiful and quiet area with few shop at 10min walk. The owner is a great host, he helped me to organise my stay in Sri Lanka, good conversation and he even cooked a great dinner for my last night. I definitely recommend this place!!
