Staying at Sweet Home Tourist Rest turned out to be one of the best decisions we made on our trip to Sri Lanka. It’s rare to find a place that offers both great value and a truly personal touch , but this one does exactly that. Instead of just a room, we had an entire private apartment, including a comfortable living room, which gave us so much space to relax. It was quiet, clean, and located in a peaceful part of town, making it easy to rest and recharge between our adventures. And considering the price, it felt like an absolute steal. What really made this stay unforgettable were the authentic experiences arranged by the hosts. Nilukshan helped us explore some of Sri Lanka’s most iconic sites with thoughtfully organized tours, the Wilpattu safari was stunning, and our visits to Anuradhapura and Mihintale gave us a deep appreciation for the country’s culture and history. Everything was well-timed, smooth, and stress-free. We also had the chance to join a Sri Lankan cooking class with Malsha, which ended up being one of our favorite memories. The class was fun, hands-on, and filled with flavor, we left not just with full stomachs, but with recipes and techniques we can take home with us. If you’re looking for more than just a place to sleep, if you want comfort, authenticity, and connection this is the place. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

A very helpful and friendly host that shared maps and guide books with me to help me plan my stay in Anuradhapura. Great location very close to the bus station,, and the host even dropped me off at the station in his tuktuk for free when I left.

Spotlessly clean, service was above and beyond. The food was delicious and this is also obvious from the amount of non-residents coming to eat lunch and dinner here.

The Ultimate Base for Anuradhapura Exploration! Wow! What a fantastic stay right in the middle of Anuradhapura town! The central location is unbeatable, putting you right near all the ancient kingdom ruins. We managed to cover all eight sacred sites (Atamasthana) – Jayasri Maha Bodhiya, Thuparamaya, Ruwanwelisaya, Lovamahapaya, Abhayagiriya, Jethawanaramaya, Mirisawetiya, and Lankarama – in just four hours (from 6:30 AM to 10:00 AM)! This place truly makes ancient city exploration a breeze. Plus, Mr. Bandara and his wife were the epitome of humble and friendly hospitality. This spot is highly recommended!

It was a really fantastic place , fairly new . The owner is so friendly and told me places to see in the city . He took me to Mihinthale mountain by his car . The price is reasonable . The place is not far away from the city and it is a very calm , quite and clean place. Especially the bathroom . So thank you Kalhara for the nice stay , but unfortunately I could stay only one night . Next time I will come for a few nights and to have a beer with you.

This cozy and comfortable guesthouse is located near a busy main road with shops and restaurants but it was quiet because it is hidden away on a peaceful side street right across a man-made lake. The room was spartan but spacious and extremely clean. Inoka and Pali are the kindest and nicest hosts that I have ever met. They would offer me tea with warm smiles whether I was coming or going. They rent very serviceable bikes which are ideal for a day long trip to explore the sacred city. Highly recommend!

This was a large very clean room at a high standard. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They arranged a guide & tuktuk to the scared city , which I recommend. The guesthouse is on the edge of a lake. It’s quiet and there’s lots of places to eat nearby. I highly recommend staying here.

Coming from a no aircondition bb, we loved the rooms with aircondition! Very clean with large beds, soap available (not all places have that) and great location. Close to the new bus station, shops and supermarked, and still very quiet. The breakfast was cheap and delicious with plenty of food. Owner really friendly and even offered to take us to the old bus station upon departure. We would come back any time!

The guesthouse is like a family home, basic but nice (U pay for what U get). It located in a countryside, old city, beautiful and quiet area with few shop at 10min walk. The owner is a great host, he helped me to organise my stay in Sri Lanka, good conversation and he even cooked a great dinner for my last night. I definitely recommend this place!!
