Bindu Homestay

The only positive aspects were the breakfast and dinner. Both were delicious and filling! The older child served the meals to us very kindly.

We were really looking forward to the accommodation because the reviews were excellent, but unfortunately, we were disappointed. The room was full of mosquitoes, and the toilet tank lid was on the floor when we checked in. The towels were stained, and the bed linens had an unpleasant smelly. There was no hot water in the bathroom, and it was quite basic. There wasn’t even any toilet paper; we asked the host for some in the evening, but it turned out they do not have any at home. They were kind enough to go and buy some for us, which solved the problem, but we believe this should be a must. We asked the host (the man) to help us figure out how to get to a hike the next day using a tuk-tuk. He said he would help, but only in the morning. The next day, he wasn’t home to assist us.

Mr. Bindu is very friendly and he is also a local guide with deep knowledge about the area.

Amazing Homestay!

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

The family are so kind! We had breakfast and dinner there and it was absolutely amazing!!

Wauw what a superb hostmanship! Everything was superb: beds, airco, hot shower, table and hangmat in front of the room, the dinners, the breakfast, communication! If you want the owner is also a guide who can drive you to secret places by car. We went to the nearby waterfall Diyaluma Falls and there you can spent a hole day in the different pools (350 rp). Bring your own food and water in the falls but have lunch/dinner in an local ashtablishment to support the community (not expensive as maybe expected, rice and curry 1200 rp).

After a hot journey by bike on the main road, we where happy to have a room with airconditioning. The room was clean, the bathroom was clean. We had a very extensive breakfast. We also got offered an avocado juice as a welcome drink after arrival.

Lovely place to stay with a very kind and helpful family that took good care of us and knows all of the hidden gems of the area!

Perfect place for the price. Excellent staff. They have been very helpful and I really had a comfortable stay there. Thank you for the hospitality.
