Feel Like Home Hostel Anuradhapura

Quite. Friendly family. Not many place to eat close to the hostel.

Beds are not clean. Bedsheet was dirty

Great hostel, good vibes, friendly staff, comfy beds and facilities. Rented a scooter and joined the safaritour which was also great. They were flexible and fun and good people

So many mosquitoes in the room it was horrible!! Made the whole stay unpleasant

You just feel like home here. Host is very helpful and arrange everything on request. The rooms are okay but not the best. Rooms have only fans with mosquito net. Good place to meet other travellers. Nearby the new town bus station and a short bike ride away from the ancient city. Overall a nice stay and good price/quality ratio

It's a good place for a short stay in Anuradhapura and great value. The rooms are tightly packed, and there isn't a lot of space to move around or even place your baggage, but for one night, it was okay. They have bikes for rent, which is great!

Saff was very kind and helpful. The owner was amazing, he spent time giving me a lot of informations and even arranged me a temple tour with a guide in ten minutes. Great value for the price. I absolutely reccomend this this place. They even organize safaris in Wilpattu Nacional Park for a good price.

Fantastic hostel experience! Such a lovely host family. I felt very well taken care of. The overall vibe was really good. No bunk beds, but a double bed all for yourself! And AC in the rooms. Great location as well. Also possible to do Wilpattu safari from the hostel, which was so much fun, and for the best price you can get. If you have the chance to stay at this lovely hostel, please do! :)

good value for the price

The staff was really nice and it wasn’t too big. We sat all together in the evenings. Hosts sat with us and made it fun for everyone. They are very active in organising the safari and also some tours if you like. They do recommend nice local places for food. I really felt home! -

Good location close to all the restaurants and shops. They also organised safaris and other guided tours. I did the safari which was a bit expensive, but worth it! The staff is nice and can give you good recommendations for the area. The rooms and bathrooms were very dirty. Didn’t seem to be cleaned before we arrived. There is no hot water and we found some slugs hanging around in the bathrooms. Also, in the 2 days we stayed there were multiple (long) power outages, which is okay, but the staff didn’t seem to do any affort to fix it. Because of this the rooms got very hot without AC/fans working. Had to ask for blankets (?).

Very good

I was 1 month in Sri Lanka and honestly, staying here was the highlight of my trip. It's super centric and good for backpackers. You have drinking wáter and tea for free and the family that runs it's super nice and helpful. MOST IMPORTANT, they also run some amazing tours!!! I booked for willpattu and had the chance to see lots of animals, deers, buffalos, an Elephant and even two leopardos. The driver and the guide did their best to gave a magical experience. 10/10

The owners are very kind and helpful people, their home has a calm vibe. They explained the best options to visit the temples. They provide breakfast, there is a mosquito net for each bed, and a big terrace to hang out, I could even do yoga there. :-)

Lush, quiet location, social atmosphere, kind hosts, nice room. I had a wonderful stay.

Thanks to the family that run the place it feels much more like a homestay with dorms than a hostel, and has lots of communal space. The breakfast is a simple omelette, bread and bananas but is very good value. Great location, big beds with mosquito nets and clean enough. Not much! If you need a hot shower you won't find it here.

Super friendly people and very helpful..... should renew the kitchen a bit..but absolutely recommend it!!! Thanks for everything. Giancarlo

The host is really nice and gives good recommendations. He also dropped us off at the bus station when it was time to go and made sure we got the right bus. The room was comfortable with just two beds and a mosquito net for each.
