Super freundlich und hilfsbereit, coole Unterkunft und einfach eine MEGA Erfahrung! DANKE !

Es war soo cool in Ancient Gardens ! Der Gastgeber war sowas von freundlich und er wollte bei allen Angelegenheiten helfen. So kam es dass er mit mir mit meinem Roller die Umgebung erkundet hat und mir schöne Orte zeigte. Er war super nett und lustig und wurde zu nem richtigen Reise-Kumpel 😁 Danke dafür !! Ich habe beide Abende bei ihm gegessen und es war super lecker und reichhaltig! Würde ich immer wieder so machen. Sehr zu empfehlen!! It was soo cool at Ancient Gardens!! Gayashan was so kind and wanted to help in every way ! He showed me any cool places around and got a really "travel-friend" in that two days. I'm so thankful for that ! And I ate two times at his homestay. The meal was very tasty and rich ! I would do it every time again ! Thank you !!!

Es ist kein "dichtes" Haus. Also können hier und da mal Eidechsen oder ähnliches ins Haus kommen. Aber ich denke da muss man mit rechnen wenn man in der Natur unterwegs ist und diese erleben möchte 😉

The place has a very special laid back atmosphere that I really enjoyed. And the family are just amazing!

Gayeshan and his family are the sweetest people you can imagine and Gayeshan is going out of his way to accommodate you. His generosity, availability and friendliness makes the whole place worthwhile. It’s also a very quite place, drawn back from the heavy trafficked main road and you don’t hear your neighbors through the thick walls. Beds are good and the place is unique in its rustic and creative charm. You can walk on the narrow road down to the Main Street were you’ll find many eating places and the local people on the road are extremely friendly. Breakfast is included and you can choose local or western style food. They also make lovely local food for dinner on order.

I’ve got the only room without a window which was a bit odd, but with the high ceiling and a good fan it was ok to sleep there.

Fabuleux ! Allez y les yeux fermés ! On adore !!

Tout !! L’emplacement , la verdure, la chambre et sa déco et surtout la gentillesse et bienveillance des hôtes Avec une mention spéciale à Prashan, un des fils, qui s’est occupé de nous avec une extrême discrétion et bienveillance !! Et le bon Rice and Curry de la maman ! Ils sont tous adorables !!

Logement agréable et propre, ravies de notre choix.

L’accueil était formidable, Gayashan et sa familles sont incroyablement gentils, leur cuisine locale proposée est très bonne. Nous avons loué les 3 chambres proposées,toutes différentes mais toutes aussi chaleureuses et confortables et très propres. L’extérieur est très cocooning avec un petit bassin pour se rafraîchir et une petite terrasse en hauteur offrant une belle petite vue! Gayashan le propriétaire fait également guide et nous a accompagné tout au long de notre voyage. Agréablement gentil, disponible, plein de connaissances et nous a montré de très jolies coins. Très simple de communiquer avec lui en anglais une langue internationale encore mieux maîtrisée que nous.

Unfassbar liebevolle Gastgeber die einen mit voller Hingabe umsorgen und in allen Belangen unterstützen

Gayashan und seine Familie sind unglaublich liebevoll und man wird mit absoluter Hingabe umsorgt. Wir wurden für einen sehr fairen Preis vom Flughafen abgeholt und sogar zu unserem nächsten Ziel nach Sigirya gefahren🙏 Der Garten ist wunderschön und Gayashan kann einiges über die Pflanzen und ihre Verwendung und Küche und als Heilmittel erzählen. Er hat viele Ausflugstips und unterstützte uns bei der Planung und bietet auch an Touren zu begleiten👌 Gayashan vielen Dank für die geile Zeit🙏✌️

Gayashan and his family were perfect. Excellent place to stay and see local sights

The location and accomodation is perfect. Gayashan is really helpful and has lots of knowledge on the local area. Gayashan is always happy to help and goes beyond what you would expect from a host. Manawella is a nice quite, beautiful and a hidden gem of Sri Lanka. Bible rock and Bo Ella waterfall is a must.

Feels you are family

Absolutly a place to visit when you are looking for the real SL life. The homestay is running by lovely family. Hospitality is great. Prashan took us to the waterfal, the Bible Rock, elephants where we were almost alone. Local food dishes were served at the tree house. The bathroom is like a jungle. Go there!!

To leave...absolutely.

I had such an amazing experience at this beautiful and cozy place for my first night in Sri Lanka. The hosts, Gayashan and his brother Prashan, immediately made me feel like I was part of their family. They were so kind with and so helpful in every possible way. They're really taking customer service to the next level by making sure everything is perfect for their guests! The roof terrasse where you enjoy dinner and the included breakfast – which were both delicious - was very beautiful and peaceful. I cannot recommend this place enough if you are staying close to Pinnawala and are looking for an amazing Sri Lankan experience with the kindest family :)

Authentic experience and amazing hosts

We booked the place very last minute looking for an enjoyable stay for one night due to a change in our itinerary. And we simply could not choose any better. Gayashan and his family gave us a very warm welcome inside of their home. Made us feel like a part of their family from the beginning. The decor is quite rural and raw but it gives you a nice & true experience. Shower made of stones makes things different and attractive. And the best thing about the place is the roof terrace where you can enjoy delicious home made Sri Lankan breakfast and dinner. We didn’t feel it’s touristy in any way - just the way the locals do it. Thank you again for your hospitality!

We stayed with a 1 year old kid and we enjoyed it a lot! But bear in mind the place is not fully suitable for small babies - there is a step in the room, electric sockets and decorations within the reach of small hands and floor can get very slippery after a shower. Up to the terrace there is a steep ladder which also needs special care. But again - it’s great fun if you’re ready to closely accompany your toddlers. Owners live there with a young boy and it doesn’t seem to be an issue at all. There is no A/C in the room. Not a big deal as we don’t use it anyway but you might keep this in mind.

The most welcoming host!

Incredible dinner and breakfast but the highlight was the host. Gayashan made it truly feel like a home away from home!

Maybe another extension cord to plug in your phones to charge.

Great homestay

Host Gayashan gave everything to make sure we had a good time, and we absolutely did. The food was really good and the place is really nice and cozy. We would recommend it to others for sure. If you want to do a tour to the waterfall or tempel Gayashan makes sure it happens.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. GREAT EXPERIENCE! The warmest and kindest people. Gayashan is a lovely person and a very helpful friend. We felt as we were part of the family here. The food was various and very delicious, but what will truly win your heart here is this lovely family and the kindest Sri Lankan that l've met, our friend Gayashan. Thank you, Ayubowan
