The host Roshan is so kind and helpful. His home and gardens are beautiful. Rooms are clean and well equipped a mosquito net provided. We had breakfast and dinner with the other guest, lots of delicious food prepared by Roshan ans his family. Roshan was extremely helpful at arranging activities for us during our stay at a very reasonable price and room care of the transport and planning for us. Chandana the tuk tuk driver was so very safe and also kind to us on our day visiting the ancient city.

We love the beauty and calmness. Quiet. Birdsong and bird watching. Frogs at night chirping. Lovely simple design of the rooms looking out to simple gardens and trees full of nesting birds. Absolutely kind and helpful staff. Delicious meals. Help with travel and tour arrangements. The small boutique selling designer garments made sustainably.

The family went above and beyond to make my stay amazing. Helped me with train ticket, gave me a lift to where I wanted to go, and served delicious food. The house is completely new, in a quiet location and from the roof you can see some of the temples of the sacred city. Lovely spacious rooms. I would love to come back.

This hotel is the most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed in. Interior design is very stylish and has several personal touches which the lovely owners will walk you through. Everything was very clean and functioning. Food is cooked to your liking and served on time. Throughout the stay the staff is attentive and service is excellent. We like to chitchat a bit, and the staff has perfect English skills. Few rooms available, so it feels like renting an entire luxurious villa for yourself. Even if not planning to go to Anuradhapura, I would go simply to enjoy this hotel. (If you can even call it a hotel. Feels like being invited into a celebrity’s private mansion!).

The swimming pool is huge and perfect to relax in after a very hot day in Anuradhapura. It only costs 1.500 rupees to rent a bike for a day, which is a perfect way to discover the city. It’s also not a far tuktuk ride to Mihintale, which is beautiful. The staff is very friendly. The location of the hotel is a bit far from the city centre, but for us it was perfect as the city itself was not as nice and very dusty. A perfect place to relax and enjoy nature.

It's the best place to stay at Anuradhapura! It's so peaceful and the family is so kind. Best food and always very helpful. You can just spend the whole day at the little pond observing over 25 bird species or ride with the bicycle to the historic sites or walk to the nerby lake for sunset. I even stayed a day longer. The owners just bild a new guestroom which has the most wonderful view where you don't want to leave the bed.

The hosts of this home stay are truly amazing. Very welcoming and helpful. Kanchi is an amazing cook and her husband Mapa an amazing tour guide. He took us for a full day to see Anuradhapura, and we had a lot of fun with him. On top of that, the beds are comfortable and everything seems very clean. Although the location was not that central, for us it didn’t really matter because we were taken by a tour guide to see what we wanted and the city center for us wasn’t that attractive.

Mr. Palitha is very kind and helpful. Along with all the useful recommendations that he provided, he took his time to cook us breakfast before leaving. He has a beautiful family with a lot of stories to tell. After a long day of visiting, we relaxed outside, sitting on his picturesque porch near the lake, the only noise being the sound of nature. The location is clean, close to the city center. You are within walking distance from good restaurants, the lake and ATMs. The Anuradhapura ancient city is also reachable by a short tuk tuk ride.

Mappa is an excellent guide to visit the different temples and sacred place and his wife an excellent cooker. This was one of the best food we had in Sri Lanka. Room was very clean with aircon and hot water and the location is perfect to discover the area. We recomend it at 100%

Golden Ray Villa is the perfect place to stay. Sanjeewa is the nicest person we have met in Sri Lanka, his food it's the most delicious we had, and each and every breakfast is diffetent and prepared with love. His attention to detail is amazing. The room was beautiful, super clean, and the beds are very confortable. The AC is very helpfull as it gets very hot in Anuradhapura in the hotter months. Inside there is this little garden, were you can relax, and a parking place inside (for us was very good since we had our own tuk tuk).
