Reviews of Sunhill Lake Tourist Rest

Everything was clean. Room was spacious. Hosts were very nice and helped us in every way. Would stay here again.

We stayed here just one night, but we wish we would have stayed more. The hosts were super welcoming and friendly. The room was very big, fresh and clean. They made us feel like being home. The guesthouse is very well located in the city centre, but still in a quiet road in front of a very beautiful lake. We highly recommend this place while visiting Anuradhapura.

Everything was good.

The room was nice and spacious and in a convenient location with shops and restaurants nearby. The owners were super friendly and helpful with organising tours and sightseeing in the local area, and the nice seating area out the front gave the place a nice community feel.

Bear in mind there's no hot water - although showering was still fine as the water wasn't too cold. In a wet room like this, it would be really great to have a water scraper for the floor.

Firstly the owners are so accommodating, so warm and welcoming. Super friendly and helpful. They arranged the Willpattu safari tour for me and my boyfriend which was incredible. Our jeep driver was such a friendly and helpful guy! Nice chill family vibes, outdoor seating area near the lake. Would highly recommend! Rooms are clean. 3 min walk to Main Street but the home stay is tucked away on a quiet road. Very peaceful. Was sad to leave. Thank you so much for making us feel safe and welcomed.

The hosts are simply amazing. We had a brilliant time there!

The location is nice, very clean and comfortable, but the best is the host, Pali, that organized the pickup from the airport and any kind of need for us.

The family who hosted us made our stay truly exceptional. They are kind and helpful, and they gave us plenty of great tips for our trip. Thank you, and see you next time!

We were very pleased with this choice. We felt like home. Room was very clean and silent, the temperature was perfect, and we slept like babies. The hosts were lovely and super helpful, even teaching us some expressions to connect with locals. We cannot be more thankful 🙏

Beautiful location on the lake. Very relaxing with the sounds of birds. Room is very spacious. Lovely family

Friendly people. Nice location. Good room and good WiFi.

Nice stay and friendly, helpful family.

The owners were very kind and the room was similar to the picture. Nothing too fancy but everything worked and was clean.

The room is large, just like what I saw on the picture, the family who owns the hotel is very nice and helpful. Pali arranged my ancient trip in the old city.

The host was very welcoming and helpful. He arranged a tuktuk for us to see the town and drove us to the bus station for a small price. It was just a short ride to the temples. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. The room wasn’t anything special but it had everything and was a good value for money. Perfect for a short stay in Anuradhapura

The family who run this hotel give absolutely amazing hospitality. They truly go above and beyond to help you. When we arrived they showed us on the map how to get to the temples we wanted to see and explained which were free and which cost money. They had bicycles for us to rent for 1000 rupees each which we used to get there. When we were leaving for Trincomalee, the owner gave us a free tuk tuk ride to the bus and showed us which bus to get, which took hours off our journey as we were planning to get 2 separate buses. The room was spacious, the bed was large and comfortable and the air con worked well. The bathroom was also very spacious. Free tea and coffee if you want it also. Can’t thank this family enough for their kindness and warmth on our trip. Check in time was also very early

The bathroom was a bit dirty as there were a number of cobwebs on the walls and spiders, but this wasn’t a massive issue. Checkout was 10:00am which was quite early

The owners were friendly and offered us an organized tuk tuk tour to all temples. The accommodation had a good location aswell.

We arrived in the afternoon just to find out our room wasn’t ready yet. We had to wait a little for our room which had dirty bed sheets, no soap and a stinky bathroom. When we came back in the evening to go to sleep we saw many little bugs everywhere on the mattress and in the pillow case. Turns out it was bed bugs and we got a few bites now. After we called the owner we could switch rooms and they apologized and took the problem serious and started cleaning everything the day after. Hopefully they’ll get rid of the bugs.

Clean big room, perfect location close to shops and restaurants. Run by the loveliest family, who were always there to help. They also organised a safari for us which was amazing we saw so many animals and had a knowledgeable guide who new his stuff.

Very good location and staff very good and helpfull!!

Clean room, comfortable bed, nice bathroom. The thing that makes the place so special and enjoyable to stay at however is the host Palitha and his family. They are truly some of the kindest people I have ever met and go above and beyond for their guests. They are informative and hospitable helping me with any questions i had and activities I wanted to do. They brought me tea and coffee outside. Palitha gave me lifts free of charge in his tuk tuk often. I said I wanted to do a cooking class and instead they said I should cook with Inoka and Sanuli and eat with them which is what I did. Inoka dressed me up in her osariya. The loveliest family and I would love to come back
