"Shehan and Shri run this awesome guesthouse, and they are fantastic! They are wonderfully kind and thoughtful. They have extensive international hospitality experience, and they helped me arrange top-notch transport from Colombo, around Anurhadapura, and a dream tour around the ancient cities—all very last-minute. The room was cute, clean, and cozy. Very reliable hot water and AC. Delicious, nourishing food. Guesthouse is 2 minutes walking to some shops and a solid locals’ dinner spot. Prices for private touring transport were very reasonable, and the drivers were kind, extremely professional. I was solo and felt very safe. They also were kind enough to take photos and provided some pertinent historical/cultural guidance as we toured. "

"Staff"

"We stayed in 4 hotels across Sri Lanka on our trip and this was by far the very best hotel we visited. It is such beautiful accommodation, thoughtfully designed. It's clean, modern, safe and you feeling totally immersed in the forest/jungle. The staff were beyond polite and helpful, always greeting us warmly - especially those in the dining area. The food was some of the best we had in Sri Lanka, very authentic, catered to our needs (gluten free - even with gf bread) and so tasty. We would highly recommend this Taru Villas to anyone visiting. Also well located for Sigiriya (for the rock) and Minneriya Park (for the elephants). Thank you!"

"Lovely large clean rooms, great hotel 100% recommend. The breakfast was amazing string hoppers and fruit bowl is our recommendation."

"Was initially upset they didn’t give the room booked on Expedia. They rectified it shortly thereafter and the stay was smooth with friendly staff "

"Leopard Trails is a fabulous rustic luxury camp in the beautiful Wilpattu Park. This was one of our favorite stays in all of Sri Lanka! The Naturalist guide who took us on safari was attentive, knowledgable, and a genuinely great guy. Back at camp, the rooms were comfortable and the private dining candle lit dinners were magically romantic. I recommend the suite with the plunge pool, it was bliss after a hot and dusty drive on safari. Do not miss the opportunity to visit this special place! "
