Pros:

Sharli the host was fantastic, very welcoming and made us a delicious curry in the evening. The property was in a peaceful area with garden and a little stream. Whilst the room was basic it was comfortable and was one of our favourite stays.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind.

Pros:

An oasis of comfort for us after some hard days on the road cycling. A beautiful garden view from the upstairs terrasse. Far enough from the main road and the rush of the town to be peaceful. The calm and attentive host. Recommended!

Cons:

Nothing

Best place we stayed in Sri Lanka!
Pros:

Kithmi was the highlight of our trip! It felt like home from the moment we arrived. Hemantha and his sister were amazing hosts, they helped us with every little detail of our stay and cooked delicious food.

We told them we love local breakfasts and then the following mornings they cooked us hoppers and dal etc. so if you like it local make sure you say so!

WiFi was excellent and AC was perfect. Room very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the monkeys! Weather was lovely in July.

If you’re short on time you could do Pollonaruwa in one day. The ancient city tour in the morning 8-12 and then safari (Mineriya or Kaudulla) in the afternoon 1-6. Not too much else to do in the area aside from reading and eating good local food.

Highly recommend this place and we would visit again!
