Thank you for having me! It is a very peaceful and greatly designed homestay (with a little outside terrace area for every room!) owned by very lovely and helpful hosts, and offering deliscious sri lankan breakfast and dinner! It has a great location close to the ancient town which makes it very easy to explore it by bike (which is available in the homestay) and 5 minutes away (on foot) from the peaceful lake. One of my best stays in Sri Lanka!

It is a beautiful new property just off the main road. Large beautiful rooms and bathrooms! Huge terrace on top which is available to everyone. Abundant breakfast! But most of all the owners are amazing! They treat you like one of the family and nothing is too much trouble! This place is one of the top places in which we stayed in Sri Lanka! Would definitely recommend.

The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. They booked a safari in Wilpattu only 1.5 days before our arrival and everything was very well organised. The safari itself was much better than expected: we had the luck to see 4 leopards, a sloth bear and 4 golden jackals, on top of many beautiful birds and reptiles. The resort provided breakfast and lunch to take on the safari, as well as snacks and drinks. Everything was very tasty and plenty. Also breakfast and dinners were very tasty and more than we could eat. All in all, we had a very good stay. Thanks so much!!!!

Kalhara made our stay perfect. He organized wonderful tours (safari, temples, dance show), and her wife prepared amazing breakfast and dinner! Everyday we had a different menu, always good and with Sri Lankan delicacies. The room was huge, spotless clean, with a very comfortable bed. The garden is beautiful, with palm trees and flowers, with a nice patio where we relaxed before dinner.. We had also a very nice walk close to the lake and ricefields, from the road in front of the hotel. We strongly recommend Swan lake to everyone wants to enjoy Habarana area

We had a wonderful time at Oleena's quiet and peaceful homestay. Breakfast, dinner and accommodation were great and Jeewa can take you anywhere you want at reasonable prices - be it to Sigiriya, Dambulla, Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura, an ayurvedic retreat or a spice garden. We would return any time.

We had a great stay at Visu Villa. Ruwan is a great host who is very kind and helpful. He showed us nice places around Habarana and told us more about the way of live. The room is big and the bed is very comfortable. Also the pool is nice and refreshing. We can recommend the elephant safari. It was beautiful and they go when it is not so busy. The workers who did the safari with us even made an aftervideo. We totally recommend Visu Villa!

Very nice family business. We felt like being home. This people take great care of their guests. The owner Nilukshan is big professional together with staff of the accomodation. They prepared the best meals and helped us to organize perfect tour in Anradhapura and Mihintale where we learnt a lot of things about local culture. Our room was very clean and spacious. At the end of our stay Nilukshan drove us to different city and told us a lot of interesting things about Sri Lanka on the way there. The whole experience was simly unforgettable. Thank you for your care and hospitality.

I recently stayed at Habarana New Star Home Stay for three nights and had a wonderful experience. The accommodation offers three rooms: two with air conditioning and one with a fan, all featuring ensuite bathrooms and kept very clean. The friendly hosts were a highlight, providing excellent hospitality and offering tuk tuk services to nearby attractions. The breakfast served was delicious, adding to the overall pleasant stay. The location is convenient, just a 5-minute walk from town. Highly recommended!

Fantastic place to stay in Anuradhapura! The Villa is beautiful and there's a shared space at the entrance where you can have breakfast and some light snacks. Large rooms with AC and Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms, and great hosts always ready to help - they also arranged us a tourist guide to visit the sacred temples of Anuradhapura!

We loved this property and would highly recommend it. The host was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. He cooked us dinner each night and a breakfast each morning. Each meal had a massive spread of beautiful food. The property is extremely clean. It is close to Habarana to walk in if needed, however we didn’t do this as we were tired after a long day. Thank you for being a great host.

Place and the room was as explained in the site. All mentioned facilities were there cleaned and quiet. AC, hot water shower, bath room all were fine.Staff was very supportive. Planning to stay there next yr visit too. If anyone searching a place to home stay in peace meeting essential facilities for their pilgrimage,lakeside villa is ideal.

Mrs Kandamby and Mr Muthukudaarachchi, the owners of the property, take very special care in managing every thing in a very pleaseant and comfortable way. We would recommend any body to utilise this fine and excellently maintained facility if you are looking for a very comfortable home stay in a nice environment right at the heart of the big Anuradhapura city.

This is the second time Ambel Homestay. We would choose it again for our Anuradhapura trip. It is very clean, very close to the city but quiet location, very good facilities for the money we spend, and very quick access to all the important places in Anuradhapura city. Also, the owner and all his family members are very kind and friendly. I highly recommend this.
