The garden is beautiful and the family is the most kind ever! You will feel as being in a kind family :) Also the room and bathroom was very clean and the downtown is close with lots of restaurant options. I highly recommend this place!

Absolutely nothing

We had the best stay in Priyavimana. The room is very good for the price you pay, off course basic but very clean (cleanest we stayed so far in Sri Lanka). The owners are warm hearted people. The hospitality was extraordinary: the nice chats, the father of the house who drove us around to go hike Pidurangala rock and see Polonnaruwa, always checking if we were good and safe...We felt at home. The dinner is super nice, good local food. They also help you a lot with getting good prices to safari and getting a taxi. If you are looking for a place to stay in Habarana: this is it!! We would recommend 100%. We hope We get to Come back.

Vimal and his family are the best hosts you could ask for. They are generous, helpful, and will be one of the highlights of your time in Sri Lanka. Make sure to check with them first before you book safaris or other activities in the area — Dinu will most likely be able to get you a better deal with a better operator. The property is immaculate, and Habarana makes a great base for the cultural triangle.

The villa feels boxed-in and not connected to the garden with no windows on the garden. There is no kitchen and no utensils in the kitchen. Cabins are a bit primitive.

Lovely host who helped us extensively with all our needs. In the cabins the garden view is nice. Fine breakfast. Good place to explore the cultural triangle of Sri Lanka. Sigirya close by

There was nothing to not like

We stayed in this lovely home for two nights and I think that this was my favourite stay in Sri Lanka. The hosts are fantastic people, friendly and helpful and always with a smile. The rooms are simple but have everything that you need and have a lovely terrace within the beautiful gardens. But best of all is the food. We had breakfast and dinner on both days and we were served a selection of home cooked, Sri Lankan treats that were delicious. All together a fabulous experience that I’d happily pay more for.

We didn’t find anything we didn’t like, and it’s a perfect value-for-money accommodation that we can wholeheartedly recommend to everyone.

We were completely satisfied with everything. We loved the environment with all the greenery and flowers. Since we traveled by car, secure parking was important (falling mangoes and coconuts, animals, etc.), but there was no issue as we could park in their private yard. The breakfast was very delicious and plentiful. :) On request, we were provided with dinner, and if we mentioned what we wanted to eat, that was also arranged (we absolutely love jackfruit curry ;) ). The room was a comfortable size and equipped with air conditioning and hot water. The hosts were very kind and helpful, and since we spent an Advent Sunday there, they helped us prepare the traditional decorations for the occasion. We had many conversations, and they truly did their best to assist us in every way possible. This wasn’t our first time in Sri Lanka, and they perfectly embodied the hospitality, helpfulness, and kindness that the island is known for. Since we spend some time here every year, we’ve found yet another place where we’re sure to return.

Our stay was magnificent. The host picked us up from train station when we arrived late from Colombo. We easily discussed anything and he also rented us scooter and booked safari tour for us for reasonable price. The room was nice and breakfast just amazing. Definitely recommend for anyone.
