The place is really nice and the owners are great. I was on the line with them all the time so they helped me reach their place. Their place is around 3km from the ancient city. They have bicycles for a small fee. The road next to the lake is amazing. I loved it. The room was spacious and cozy, hot water was available. You can get AC for an extra charge but I think a fan is enough. The food mom cooks is very delicious. I had dinner and breakfast with them. They were there to help me with everything and give me information about my sightseeing. I def recommend this place!!!

I was very happy staying at the Lake Cabin. Everything was excellent. Waking up early to the sounds of birds, sitting on the balcony to watch the sunrise, eating breakfast, and watching fishermen on the lake. Perfect!!! I felt relaxed and enjoyed every minute.

Everything here is exceptional! I've stayed at many guest houses, but this is by far the calmest and most peaceful place I've ever booked. The owner is very kind, friendly, and extremely helpful. The rooms are spotless, and the facilities are excellent for the price. It's also conveniently located close to Parakrama Samudra (just 1.8 km away). I truly enjoyed my freedom here, and this stay has become one of the most unforgettable journeys I've had. If you're looking for a budget-friendly place that is clean, calm, and comfortable, there's simply no better choice than this!

Firstly the location is awesome and is very close to all the tourist hotspots. Secondly the owners are so kind and friendly. They make sure everything you need is provided for. They helped us book the safari to the elephant reserve, got us a taxi and all at the current ongoing rates. It is also a very kids friendly place especially when it comes to food.

The host, Nishanthi, was absolutely amazing. From the moment we stepped into the homestay we felt welcome. She prepared us an amazing breakfast every morning and an incredible dinner, showing us how it was made from her kitchen.

Beautiful, spacious room with AC available for a small additional cost which was very welcome in the humidity! Lovely host family who arranged us transportation from our previous location and dropped us at the bus stop too for our onward journey. We explored the ruins on bicycles you can rent from the property and we had delicious dinner and breakfast. Would 10/10 stay here again.

The host family were super friendly, making the nice atmosphere in their homestay. The bathroom was very clean and pleasant, and the food that they serve for breakfast and dinner is just amazing. I was served like someone special. They are ready to help you with everything, you can rent a bike to go to the ancient city. This homestay is a little out of a town in a nice , quiet area. I enjoyed my stay there a lot and recommend this place.
