Value for money it exceeded expectations

The owner, Sanjeewa, was exceptional, nothing was too much trouble for him. He organised great Jeep drives with excellent drrivers who were also knowledgeable about the wildlife, the area and the society. The place was spotlessly clean, and the beds comfortable. There were no added luxeries but the basic towels, soap and similar were in the bathroom that had a good hot water system.

It was s great pleasure staying with this lovely family! Our children immediately became friends and we got all possible help and more. Unfortunately I had booked another safari before and couldn't cancel it. Otherwise we would have loved to make a Safari with them. Their jeep is great, comfortable and luxurious ;-) Breakfast was very good, the room had everything needed plus a nice terrace with a hammock!

Very friendly host who also helped us organize various activities. The location is ideal as a starting point to explore Sigiriya (25 min tuktuk), Polonnaruwa (1h bus ride near the homestay) and Ritigala (45 min tuktuk). Great elephant safaris for fair prices to the nearby national parks are also offered.

The rooms were very dark, and the WiFi was really bad. But I did not come there for the WiFi.

This place was one of the cheapest double rooms with bathroom I have ever stayed in, and it was worth every penny! The owner was super friendly and booked a Safari tour for us, with one of his friends who was an exceptional driver. He would always drive us to the best places between the other cars and right in front of the elephants in the National park. I loved the stay here! The rooms are really basic, and unfortunately it rained the whole time while we were there, but other than that, I loved it.

Cleanliness and order.

Very helpful owner who gave us lots of helpful recommendations and was really informative about the buses etc. The room is really comfortable. Considering it was so hot while we were there the fan worked really well and was quiet enough for both of us to sleep well. Delicious Sri Lankan breakfast in the mornings.

I highly recommend this guesthouse! The host was fantastic, going above and beyond to help me book an incredible safari tour. The breakfast provided was delicious and started each day perfectly. The guesthouse itself was comfortable and offered excellent value for the price. If you're looking for a welcoming place with great service, this is it!

Everything was fine

The owner is really nice and helpful. He organized a safari trip very well and he provide me driver for late arrival and trip to sigiryia at 5 AM. The room is clean, you have a bathroom for your own, everything works well. There is a nice Garden where you cen rest. It is a really good price for the comfortable stay.

Listing states there is aircon room. There is not. It's dated but clean.

Price was good but in the end I didn't stay as there was no aircon as listing said there was.

Lovely, welcoming family. Nice room with outdoor space with chairs and hammock, you can relax in the afternoon and watch monkeys jumping around. Owner organized safari for me even thought i was by alone and got jeep just for myself. Elephant Safari was amazing! Great driver/guide with a lot of knowledge and great attitude. I took morning safari bc there is less people and it was a good decision. I have seen plenty of elephants plus a lot of birds and other animals. I do recommend safari with this host, great value for a really good price.

We loved our stay here in the Elephant Safari lodge. Since we arrived the owner made us feel like home. He organized an amazing safari tour for us. Breakfast was very good. I recommend 100% to stay here.

The only negatives were that on the booking it said it had AC and WiFi and there was no WiFi or AC, Having said that he provided us with a SIM card that worked somewhat.

This is an amazing room for the price you pay. It is clean, spacious and comfortable and there is a lovely space to relax outside the front of the room with a hammock. The family is so lovely, friendly and welcoming and they have a young son who is so sweet and playful. They did a nice breakfast everyday. We did the safari through them and it was an amazing experience. We saw lots of elephants and other animals and had a great experience.
