Our experience at this place was fantastic! Impeccably clean rooms and a stunning new rooftop terrace provided a delightful breakfast in the morning and a cozy spot for evening beers with a view. The family's warmth and friendliness were the perfect finishing touch! Would highly recommend!!!

The hosts were incredible. We spoke with them a lot, and they gave us so very good tips for the rest of our trip. The owner also drove us to Trincomalee for a good price. The breakfast is very yummy, we loved the dahl

The owners Mapa and Kanchi are such genuine and lovely people. They ensured our stay was as comfortable as possible: organising transport to the sights prior to arrival, a very clean room and Kanchi cooked the most amazing authentic Sri Lankan dinner and breakfast for us, which we couldn't recommend more. This is the most hospitable guesthouse we've stayed in and really hope to return one day!

The Ultimate Base for Anuradhapura Exploration! Wow! What a fantastic stay right in the middle of Anuradhapura town! The central location is unbeatable, putting you right near all the ancient kingdom ruins. We managed to cover all eight sacred sites (Atamasthana) – Jayasri Maha Bodhiya, Thuparamaya, Ruwanwelisaya, Lovamahapaya, Abhayagiriya, Jethawanaramaya, Mirisawetiya, and Lankarama – in just four hours (from 6:30 AM to 10:00 AM)! This place truly makes ancient city exploration a breeze. Plus, Mr. Bandara and his wife were the epitome of humble and friendly hospitality. This spot is highly recommended!

Ceylonima Home stay is a must! Mapa and Kanchi are the best hosts ever. Mapa is super helpful when planning trips or taxis (their brother is a great driver!). Kanchi has spoiled us with the best food in Sri Lanka. The room and bathroom were beautiful too! We highly recommend the homestay.

I had the most wonderful time at the Ceylonima Home Stay. It was my first accommodation in Sri Lanka and as a female solo traveler I felt very welcome and safe. I had dinner at the homestay the first evening which tasted great! The next day, Mapa gave me and my friends a tour through Mihintale. We really enjoyed learning about the Buddhist culture! Mapa and his wife make sure you have everything you need and the car ride to the train station is just perfect! Thank you for introducing me to your country😊
