Just had a wonderful two night stay in this beautifully kept hotel, set in woodland allowing wildlife-watching from the balcony. . The room was immaculately clean, light, airy and well presented. The staff were super friendly and very helpful in making our stay comfortable and our onward journey seamless. The breakfast, lunch and dinner were beautifully presented and excellent value.. We hired bikes (organised by the hotel) which were great for getting to and around the ancient city. Highly recommend a stay at Wildesacpe.

Really welcoming host, the rooms were immaculate, great hot showers, clean bathrooms, one of our favourite stays in a 5 week trip around Sri Lanka. The location and the great field views made it a fantastic place to stay while exploring the temple/ruins. Set back from the main road so it was quiet at night too. The food was absolutely amazing - the breakfast was huge and brilliant value for money at $3 each, don't miss out on the fantastic coconut and honey pancakes. We ate dinner here both nights of our stay and the amazing flavours and generous portions were better than a lot we have seen in restaurants on our travels. The spiced chicken/rice with all the sri lankan side dishes we had was lovely! The host is always there without being intrusive, happy to help book things if needed or just have a chat. Would thoroughly recommend staying here!

Binara Home Stay is another ( rare ) example of a special people and place during my trip round Sri Lanka. Yet again i can say, it is people who make a place( even, if the place itself is brilliant). Binara and his lovely family just made my stay there as if we are friends for a long time. Room was clean, comfy, bed really good ( firm mattress), with lovely mosquitere, kept simply but comfy. Terrace/balkony with view over their garden, another BIG feature there 🤗👏. Somebody here (in review section)were complaining about frogs and lizards, none of them presented ( would love to see some lizards or gekon in my bedroom 👏🤞) . Bathroom clean, comfy 👏👍. Last but not least, for some reason, Binara is pricing this „little paradise” at ridicously low price 🙄🤗😉 I’m happy to pay little, but he should in reality price it 2-3 time what is now 😉 All in all, my next trip to Sri Lanka WILL DEFINITELY include Binara Home Stay in „program”, but for 3-4 days, just to sit there and enjoy surroundings. There is a lake there, 5 min walk which is beautyfull and enjoyable to walk along 😉

The garden of the hotel is exceptional, there are so many beautiful flowers & you’ll see chipmunks and lots of beautiful birds around. The pool is just amazing and you can hang literally (!) between the palm trees. The dinner (curry) and breakfast are just exceptional. You won’t be hungry for a long time! We booked the Polonnaruwa tempel 4 hour tour with an English guide and tuktuk, which we can highly recommend. The manager and his family are all super friendly and helpful in case of questions for next steps of your travel

Very welcoming and friendly manager of a family-run resort that has been thought out really well. Beautiful, relaxing little park around the pool, with nice lighting at night. Our 2 days stay at this place was the most relaxing in our 4 weeks tour through Sri Lanka. Food is good, including breakfast buffet.

Wonderful family, a day early (according to tradition, a day before Singalese New Years Eve) they involved us in the lighting of fireworks, ‘to bring us back to our childhood’ as they said. The son also works as a guide and can answer any questions you have, speaks English very well.

First of all, I want to thank you for everything, you treated us as family. I can’t describe with words your hospitality, your generosity and your kindness. Thanks, on the other hand, to your friends who were so nice with us too. If you come to Spain, don’t hesitate to contact us, you have now some friends here! Wish you the best, you don’t deserve less.

Fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with our family. We could not have felt more welcome and the evening meals were, in the children’s words, the ‘best in Sri Lanka’. We agree! Thank you so so much for a lovely two days.
