A day before the end of our pedal bike expedition. We arrived in Puttalam after pushing against heavy winds for more than 80km. Tired and stinking actually. Bassam, the owner and care taker of Just Inn, spoke and helped us secure the bicycles. Just inn is a kind of AirBnB or simple and beautiful homestay for any tourist. We stayed that night, tidied ourselves. Bassam rode us in his tuk tuk to the salt flats near by and later we went to a one of its- state of the art - kind of small veg hotel for dinner. We both are lifelong vegeterians. Just Inn is a simple and beautiful homestay. Clean and comfortable stay - like a home - one night or 10 nights - the experience is lively. Anyone who wish to stay there can ask Bassam about our endurance journey in SriLanka. Even though we spent very short time there at Bassam’s place.. a strong bonding was made and I think we will remember each other for a lifetime.. Thank you Bassam for everything…

Channa, the owner, is a lovely man. We had a last minute check in with him, and he arranged a spacious, comfortable budget room for the 3 of us. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and the food was very good. The staff were all helpful and friendly and the hotel was very clean. Highly recommended.

We had a really great stay here!! Tharanga was the loveliest host and they couldn’t do more for us. He has amazing English so communication was super easy. The pool is massive with a shallow kids section too, rooms are clean and comfortable. The food was insane, we had a few different curries and string hoppers for breakfast! They were very accommodating and let us order for specific times with vegetarian options It’s currently off season so it’s quiet, and they really kindly let us check out a couple hours later than the initial time. The whole complex is beautiful and they even had a ‘beer pub’ with a wide variety of drinks. Food and drinks were very reasonably priced and overall the stay was great value A little bit far from the town but this didn’t bother us as we just wanted to chill. Safe parking for our rented tuktuk Thank you so much Tharanga 😊

The Sanctuary is an outstanding place. The building itself it’s beautiful designed and decorated, fitting in well to the natural surroundings. The room and all the fittings feel high quality and a luxurious, a real treat when budget back packing. The nature that it is surrounded by is truly beautiful and peaceful. The perfect place to sit back and relax! What makes The Sanctuary so special is the staff. So welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Their knowledge of the animals and plants that you will see on walks around the premises is amazing, so well educated and genuine. The food cooked by mum is 10/10 and you will not leave hungry. They made our safari day so enjoyable and truly perfect!! I can not recommend this place enough, it’s a new venture for the team and they do it so well!! Thank you so much to everyone involved.

It was very beautiful, like a small heaven :). The bungallows were very nice, large, comfortable, clean, hidden in the "forest" with a balcony where you can watch some animals. It felt almost like being alone there. It was very unique experience. The pool was large, with nice view. The kids loved it very much. Food was good and stuff was helpful. It is good to use it as a starting point for the Wilpattu safari to see western part of the park and avoid the crowds at the main gate. The hotel can organize the safari. It is also nice to walk to the lagune. It was easy to reach by tuk tuk from Puttalam (we arrived by train).

We love staying in the individual Cabana, but they only have one left and I'm glad we got it. We also love being able to walk down to the beach in 1 minute and eat at the restaurant which is on the beach as well. His neighbouring property Ruveesha has a pool but is a longer walk to the beach..The food was excellent and their service staff manager with very good English was excellent and so friendly. The Omeesha Cabana had an attached outdoor bathroom with a cold water shower out of a conch shell as well as a separate hot water shower. All staff were very polite and helpful and the food was very tasty. The pan fried crab was excellent and I also loved the Sri Lankan breakfasts.
