Sweet Home Tourist Rest, Cooking Classes & Tours

Our guest WAS SO SO SO nice! The room and facilities were clean and very mixe. The WiFi worked really well (which is quite rare in Sri Lanka). Definitely an amazing value for money. And she cooked one of the best meals we had during our trip in Sri Lanka, for a fair price I HIGHLY recommend ☺️

What a wonderful homestay. Such a kind and welcoming family, peaceful home and great location in a lush green quiet part of town. Malsha and Nilu can't do enough to help you, and Malsha makes delicious breakfast and dinner. We loved meeting Nilu's brothers too, such lovely young men. You have the entire top floor which is spacious with a nice balcony, the bed is comfy, with aircon in the room and in the kitchen there is a fridge with cold water and cold beer. We couldn't have asked for any more. If you are heading to Anura, don't hesitate to book Sweet Home Tourist Rest.

The only thing we thought that could be improved was the water situation. Most places have the large filter water dispensers to reduce plastic, but here it was just 1.5l bottles in the fridge (that you buy) and this quickly builds up to a lot of plastic waste.

The family was very friendly and the food was very good. The Anuradhapura tour and full day safari was very well organized, though a little bit pricey. The room was very clean and comfortable, and there were cold beers and water. Very good price for this much comfort!

The location is a little bit further away from restaurants etc, so you need a tuktuk. But with Pickme app you could manage.

The homestay was just like being at home so comfortable shared lounge and kitchen bonus we were there all by ourselves perfect, the family were so lovely food was awesome. We rented a tuktuk and went into the local town and spent time with the locals it was amazing we were the only tourists around recommend. Don't hesitate to stay here the family also did our laundry

We stayed two nights at Nilu’s and Malsha’s homestay, and it was absolutely amazing. After three weeks of traveling in Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura was our final stop before heading back to Colombo, and both my partner and I agreed that these last two days were the highlight of our trip. Malsha was a fantastic host. She gave us excellent recommendations, prepared fresh and delicious breakfasts, and even did our laundry. We truly felt at home during our stay. The entire family is incredibly sweet and welcoming. They also arranged a guided tour of the ancient city with their friend Kamal, which turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Having done several guided tours during our trip, we can confidently say that this one was the best by far. The value for money here is unbeatable and the location was also exactly what we had in mind. The homestay is situated in a quiet residential area, which we loved, and it’s only a quick 5-minute tuk-tuk ride to the city center. Thank you, Nilu and especially thank you Malsha, for an incredible stay. We highly recommend this homestay to anyone visiting Anuradhapura!

Nothing!

The food prepared by the owner was amazing. We requested vegan breakfast and dinner and both were exceptional. The food was so nice that we would have liked to have done a cooking class here, unfortunately we had no time. Big bed. Clean and well kept property. Very nice people.

We had an amazing stay! The place was spotless, and everything was perfectly clean and well-maintained. The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel at home right away. The location was great, and the overall atmosphere was calm and relaxing. We highly recommend this place and would love to come back again!

Nothing

Cosy apartment, great breakfast and very friendly family.

Lovely family. They were so helpful with everything, including travel advice during the rest of my trip. Had absolutely the best food in Sri Lanka here! Breakfast and dinner true highlights of the day. Room was totally fine, nothing to complain. Can recommend.

It's remotely located, so you need tuk-tuk for everything. They have a tuk-tuk driver available for that.
