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.

Fantastic property. This is a lovely and very well appointed family home of the host. I reached there in the evening and was settling down to rest. And heard some music and some sounds of singing somewhere nearby in the neighbourhood. I was eager to join into to a local celebration but hesitated. In sometime the host and his wife came by to apologise for the sound and the distrubance that this might be causing me. At that point I was bold enough to ask what the event was and whether I could join in. And they were extremely welcoming. So I spent the next few hours at their family karaoke in the next house with younger relatives who were visiting on a holiday. Everyone sang Sri Lankan songs and I joined in with one or two songs from Bollywood that we all knew. It was as if I'd known them forever. This was a charming evening - THAT MONEY COULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT - it just happened as a matter of luck. The memories will stay forever. The next day I was to leave - but one of the daughters was leaving for work before me - she came up to say bye to me - amazing 'family' vibes. Totally loved the connection. I hope our paths cross again!

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.

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.
