Me and my boyfriend stayed for 2 nights and we loved the room, it was really comfortable and clean! The hosts are lovely, always with a friendly attitude with a smile on their faces! On our last night they woke up at 4am to make a tea for us because we wanted to watch the sunrise at pidurangala rock and we are really grateful for their kindness! Thank you guys, wish you all the best!

This accommodation is perfect. The family was lovely. From the minute we entered this home, we felt right at home. We were greeted with fresh homemade juice, which was beautiful. The host chatted to us about what to do during our stay and gave really good advice on our future travel around Sri Lanka. I would definitely recommend having dinner while staying here. All the food we had while staying at this home stay was so tasty and plentiful. The dinner was actually our favourite meal we had since arriving in sri lanka. The breakfast was also very nice and very big. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. There was a mosquito net and a fan in the room. The home stay is a bit outside of the town but the host offers to drop and collect you from the bus station. It is very close to the temple. This was one of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka.

I run my own travel business where we pride ourselves about going beyond the call of duty. Well I can safely say, Simoya Nature Park could teach me a thing or two! They were wonderful! It was without doubt the best part of my stay in Sri Lanka I stayed in 7 hotels in all - this place was by far the best It was a perfect balance of personable and luxurious

This stay was great, surrounded by lush nature and has very clean spacious rooms! WiFi is great for working remotely. We stayed there for 2 nights and couldn't be happier, with the service provided by the hosts, we had our meals here all home made (breakfast included and lunch and dinner with some extra costs). It's a family owned business and we truly felt like a part of their family while staying there. They arranged for us sunrise hike and a safari all with ok pricing. Highly recommend to stay here is you have Sigiriya in your itinerary.

The couple running the homestay was fantastic! They were very welcoming, cooked really great dinner and breakfast and welcomed us with homemade passionfruit juice! They also helped to arrange a tour of the area and even drove us to our next stay in Anuradhapura themselves which was a very enjoyable drive. The room was also perfect, clean and comfortable.

Wonderful experience at this very cozy and family-oriented guest house. The brand-new wooden room is incredibly comfortable. You quickly feel at ease in the environment, and the owners are truly delightful. I used their service to get to Sigiriya and explore the temple and main attractions. The dinner, which needs to be requested in advance, was excellent, and the breakfast was generous. It's also possible to arrange a tuk-tuk pick-up from the bus station. One of the best guest houses, even with the tropical rain. It felt like home.

We wanted to feel different Sri Lanka and this place was the best choose, a must try experience. First of all because there you may get the best national food, won’t get such in any restaurant (if you get lucky try not only breakfast but also dinner, we were :) ). Second you will get a real home feeling of living in a village house, with exceptional owner, monkeys and etc. Thanks!!!

    The location of the farm was excellent, you will find yourself in places you would not come otherwise. Pradeep's place is very well maintained, we stayed in one of the cheaper rooms and they were quite basic but that's what we wanted. If you are up for more luxury there are four new rooms which are all very modern and super clean! The farm is great and staff super friendly and helpful. It was a great way to get a peek in actual sri lankan culture. Would definitely recommend going here!

    Very clean and comfortable, the staff were smiley and friendly, willing to help where able. The location is ideal for access to the busy centre but far enough away that you don't have the noise that goes with it. The beautiful views made the already enjoyable and filling breakfast, even better. AC and fan worked well!
