"The pictures are deceiving. Positive thing is that the room is spacious and AC is fantastic. Everything else is something to criticize on. I.e a ton of mosquitos, washroom is full of stains, the doors to the bathroom doesn’t close properly making mosquitos to fly into the room through the bathroom. The bed had mattress cover but no blankets whatsoever and had to explicitly request one, which showed up as if a few cats picked a fight in it. "

Top Basawakkulama Hotel Reviews

Breedon Residence Hotel - Anuradhapura

10/10 Excellent

"Very good place. We stayed in a room in a large house. My only concern was that the AC was only available in the bedroom, not in the rest of the house. The host was very nice and helpful. I would definitely stay there again."

Nilaro Holiday Resort

8/10 Good

"Nice, clean and comfortable place to stay, right next to the ancient city for Anuradhapura."

Gimanhala Tissawawa

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay. The property was located right on the lake and run by a small family. They went above and beyond to help me with my pilgrimage. I booked a small room but I upgraded to the cabana."

Aryana Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional breakfast"

The Lake Forest Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff, excellent location."

The Ivy Lake

10/10 Excellent

"The Ivy Lake is a rare find in Sri Lanka, being modern & so well maintained as it only four rooms. The brother & sister who manage the property are in touch with technology making them very helpful for what's going on in Anuradhapura & helping with things to do in the area. The garden is so beautiful making the property feel tropical & peaceful in a very busy city. The Ivy Lake is very central to the Old Town, the lake, bus station & the train station, perfect to be walkable to everything. The room is very convenient with a rare refrigerator, great shower & comfy bed, everything a traveller needs. There is a superb coffee shop that the youngsters have with all meals available. Well done Ivy Lake, we highly recommend you to all visitors to Anuradhapura."

Monaara Leisure - Anuradhapura

8/10 Good

"The air conditioner was noisy"

Kutumbaya

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was very handy for the pool and the restaurant and was reasonably quiet. The manager and staff were very courteous and helpful and the manager was able to arrange a Safari at late notice and a tuktuk guide for the ancient city. The Safari guide Zion was excellent as was his driver. The tuktukguide Kumar was also very good."

Ismattha hotel
