Guest Reviews

• Sarita (9/5): Nice escape from the crowds - Excellent view at this location and balconies to enjoy it Limited menu and staff for dinner
• Indumini (6/5): -
• Dulasiri (9/5): Hidden Gem - Abaya Mandapa is a hidden gem in Anuradhapura. The hotel is in a lovely place where one can see four Stupas from the hotel balcony, including Ruwanweli Maha Seya. Walking along the path on the dam of the “Basavakulama Lake” in the evening, at night, and early in the morning brought a sense of peace and tranquility. The hotel was beautiful, well-planned, and comfortable, with all modern amenities. Mr. Prasanna and his staff were wonderful and accommodating to our needs with a smile and a kind heart. We had three meals, and they were delicious, including the best roast pan we had tasted in a very long time None
• CHEE PING (10/5): -
• PHILIPPE (9/5): Bien - Une belle vue sur le lac Propre Un bon accueil Un peu éloigné du centre Petit dej presque exclusivement Sri Lankais
• TONG (9/5): - 服务很周到，风景很不错，就是全素食早餐，非常当地风味的早餐，可以尝试，还可以的 隔音比较差，这个也没办法好像大部分的酒店都这样，比较原生态
• Yohan (8/5): Fantastic view - The View of temples Room size inadequate for family ( 3 people ) good for couple
• Petra (6/5): Could be better - The rooms are nice, but not so clean (bathroom). In the First Night we did not have hot Water, but it was fixes the day After. But we had to ask twice for fixing the light in the bathroom and for Tools paper. Some Staff members tried to their best. The rooms were not made up during the stay, although there is a Lot of Staff.
• Pierre (8/5): -
• Karen (9/5): A room with a good view and clean. - The view of the Stupas across the lake was great, especially after dark. Just like the pictures on their website. The natural life; squirrels, monkeys and peacocks were delightful to see. The service was good. Very hospitable. Unfortunately the traffic on the road outside was a disturbance.
• Sam (9/5): The manager was super friendly and helpful. He organised tuk tuks to take us round the sights and a safari trip to Wilpa - Amazing helpful host who wanted to do everything to please. Lovely rooms especially those with lake view.
• Hiran Goonawardena (10/5): Stay at Abhaya Mandapa - The room was very modern and beautiful. The sheets were also very brand new and clean. The service was very good, Prasana made our stay very enjoyable and peaceful. To summarise our stay at abhaya mandapa was extremely peaceful. Thanks. Everything was great.
• memmo23 (8/5): - Camera con bella vista sul lago e sulle stupa. C era un rumore sul tetto fatto da una pompa/autoclave che avrebbe potuto disturbare il sonno, lo abbiamo segnalato e il direttore ha risolto il problema.
• Chaminda (10/5): -
• Zaira (10/5): Soggiorno incantevole. Ci tornerò - Tutto fantastico : posizione, pulizia, vista magnifica, la stanza con tutti i comfort. Il manager una persona molto cortese e disponibile. Ha sempre soddisfatto ogni mia richiesta, soprattutto relativa al cibo che è stato ottimo. Consigliatissimo. Era tutto perfetto
• Ajith (7/5): Hotel location looks nice, and service level is fairly OK. - We wanted to go out around 4am to attend for religious function. We came out and noticed gate has been closed and no security person to open the gate. And tried to find any staff member to open the gate but failed. Finally, I had to get the phone call for the No indicated in the web and some lady answered and as I understood she is from outside and called to the staff and opened the gate. This process took almost 45Mts and we got delayed for the religious function.
• Arun (10/5): Amazing staff, food and location. - We stayed in Room 9 on the ground floor from October 16th to 18th, 2025. The location offered a breathtaking view of the Ruwanwelisaya and three other stupas, especially at sunrise over Abaya Lake. If you book an upstairs room, you can enjoy these views right from your window. From the restaurant, you can see the Ruwanwelisaya while enjoying your meal. 2 minutes drive to the Thuparamaya and less than 10 minutes drive to Ruwanwelisaya and Sri Maha bodies. If there is heavy shower with wind , the mist may enter the room.
• Dilrukshi (10/5): - Excellent location. Absolutely mesmerizing view of the lake once you come out of hotel, right in front. Wonderful staff. Very kind, humble and very attentive to our needs.
• Alice (7/5): - 湖に面し 景色は抜群でした。 スタッフの方がもう少し英語を話せたらもっと快適に過ごせたと思います。
• Moi (7/5): Gorgeous location, good for short stay - The location is amazing, and the room itself for a very short stay is comfortable and sufficient. We requested the extra bed to be removed from the room, which they said could not be done, which left the space very limited, and the variety of food on the mini mini buffet has nothing suitable for a Europeans, should they not eat local culture food.
• Thanuja (8/5): The Best facility so far in Anuradhapura! - Great Location, the room overlooked the lake. The food could have been better.
• Nataliia (10/5): - Розташування та сам готель чудові. Гарний вид на храми. Особливо ввечері, коли храми освічуються . Озерце перед готелем. Чисто в кімнаті. Затишно дуже. Є кондиціонер,що на Шрі-Ланці є важливим. Мені дуже сподобалося відношення працівників готелю. Вони всі чоловіки. Дуже, дуже вічливі. Хвилюються, чи гостям зручно та комфортно. Я була вперше на вечері ,страви замовила,але навіть не здогадувалася,що їжа може бути такою гострою. Шріланкійці їдять та готують дуже гострі страви. Враховуйте це . Але персонал одразу ж мені запропонував почекати,та вони приготували мені знову не гостру страву. І як ждентельмени подарували квіти лотоса. Які ж вони молодці. Виправили ситуацію. В кімнаті яка знаходилася над кухнею, я щовечора до півночі та зрання чула сильні звуки ,як вони сік роблять. Тобто шумоізоляція погана. Висновок: чудове місце, чудові щирі люди. Рекомендую.
• Leticia (10/5): - Excellent breakfast and great accommodation
• Matthias (9/5): - Eine sehr nette, engagierte und professionelle Betreuung durch die Hotelmangerin und ihr Team. Alles hat prima geklappt.

• Christine (9/5): - The manager was very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble . All other staff were lovely too. The location of the hotel overlooking the lake and opposite iconic landmarks was also appealing. The rooms were very comfortable and had everything you needed and the food very tasty. Nothing. ALL good.
• Stephen (9/5): Superb - The location is nice for a peaceful stay. The food served was amazing. The lake view room was great. The room was lovely and the beds were very comfy.
• Alexandra (5/5): Passable - Nice view, close to historic sites. Unfriendly staff unresponsive to our needs. Sleeping impossible due to noisy water pump running almost all night. Coffee not included in breakfast.
• Kevin (10/5): Impressive stay in Anuradhapura. - An oasis of quiet on a lake in Anuradhapura. The room was modern, tastefully appointed, immaculate, with a beautiful bathroom/shower. Even better was the balcony with an amazing view over the lake and four stupas. Breakfast (included) and dinner (modest charge) were delicious and generous. Owner/manager (?) and staff were welcoming and professional.
