The hosts were amazing. So welcoming to our family and open. We had the most incredible dinner and breakfast cooked by them and shared with the two families. We learnt a lot about Sri Lankan culture and would highly recommend other people to stay.

We, my girlfriend and I, have experienced our stay as a wonderful journey. When we arrived, we were faced with a closed gate, but within seconds the owner arrived. After checking in, we entered the room – perfect! A nice big bed, a clean and spacious bathroom, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and everything you could need! After having a little chat, the hotel owner asked about our plans. We mentioned that we came for the nature and tranquility, and without hesitation, he offered to show us around the area. This was the start of an experience we will never forget. 🙏 First, we went to a small waterfall, very local with no tourists – just some local youngsters hanging out who even offered us a beer. Then he took us to Diyaluma Falls – what a massive waterfall that was! He offered us lunch, which he had made himself! A sandwich we’ll never forget; it was incredibly delicious. Next, we visited Buduruwagala Rock Carvings, where the owner introduced us to Buddhism. The place was surrounded by nature – trees, plants, birds – pure enjoyment. We thought we were heading back to the hotel, but nothing could be further from the truth. We visited real monks, where we received blessings and a white bracelet from an elderly monk. They also offered us boiled corn – so tasty! After the visit, we continued back to the hotel. On the way, we ran into a friend of the owner, who invited us to their home. When we arrived, the whole family was there to meet us. What kind and friendly people! They offered us tea and chocolate biscuits, and my girlfriend even received a gift! It gave us such a happy feeling, something we will cherish forever. ❤️ Then it was time to head back to the hotel – or so we thought. Instead, we went elephant spotting! Yes, you read that right – real wild elephants! It got quite late, but we spotted several wild animals, including both a male and female elephant. This, too, will stay with us forever.

Bindu, his family, and his friends are very hospitable people. When we arrived we went to Buduruwagala. After we came back to Bindu's place we had one of the best rice n curry during our time in Sri Lanka. And in the morning we for sure had the best breakfast in our 3 week journey. Thanks a lot again #Bindu's wife :). At this day we did a trip to explore the near by waterfalls. It was super good to be guided by Bindu's friend Nuwan who grew up in this area and knows all the short cuts in the region. He is a fun guy and we had a nice time. Regards to Nuwan. Thanks for showing the beautiful spots. We highly recommend this place.and thank the family and friends for the nice memories. Lilli and Marius

    We stayed for 2 nights and it was a good variety to the touristic places we visited before. The whole family was very welcoming and Thomashas wife cooked an amazing dinner for us. Thomasha did two trips with us (Waterfall and temple) for a fair price and gave us explanations and even hiked with us to the top to some little places where we could swim. We recommend the homestay if you want to have a real local experience in Sri Lanka.

    Amazing clean home stay located in a peaceful village nearby a lake. Run by some really kind staff who are extremely accommodating! They are able to provide everything you need and cook tasty meals upon request. Also have options to see wild elephants, visit local village, or go on a boat ride. I injured my knee before arriving and they also took me to see a special Ayurvedic doctor. Would absolutely stay again!

    Biindu is an amazing host. So is his wife. It is such a nice place to chill,, see the local spectacular views and get a bit away from the busy tourist-towns. Bindu can arrange transport. This is a true homestay. You get amazing breakfast and I also had traditional Sri Lankan dinner.. Better than any restaurant! I'll come again!

    Really enjoyed our stay at thomasha’s homestay, very reasonably priced accommodation which was perfect for our stop over. The owner was really helpful and brought us to Ellawela and diyaluma waterfalls which we highly recommend to anyone staying here in the future.
