Goalma Family Holiday Resort & Restaurant, hotel in Anuradhapura

A 13-minute walk from Kada Panaha Tank in the center of Anuradhapura, Goalma Family Holiday Resort & Restaurant offers accommodations with access to a garden.

Great value for the money. The host, Anil, was of great service, he arranged our Wilpattu safari, our visit to Mihintale, bike rental, and our drive to Sigiriya. He was also a great source of information for things to do and things to see. I definitely recommend this place. Anil was so helpful and warm. He welcomed us and did everything he could to make our stay so wonderful.

Wonderful host; took care of all our requirements - station pick-up, vehicle arrangement for visit to important tourist locations and for our onward travel to Dambulla. Loved the homemade dinner & breakfast prepared by the host family. Special thanks to Driver Mr. Irosh and his cousin / Guide Mr. Lalit who accompanied us for a couple of important locations. Highly recommended.

Easily one of the nicest accommodations we have visited in Sri Lanka. The family running it is extremely friendly and supportive! They arranged for us a guide, kept our TukTuk secured and clean, and went the extra mile to support us during the power outage. Also, definitely join them for some dinner, it’s by far some of the best food we’ve had so far!

Owners are super lovely and helpful. They recommend good restaurants and good spots for the temples. Bed was big and comfy and room is big. Fan is working properly which is really required due to the heat when not on. Overall a good value. Bike renting is really good too. Bike is working properly and allows a nice and easy tour of temples and city.

Mappa and his wife were definitely a highlight in our Sri Lanka holiday. We ate the BEST local cuisine here, and they treat you so kind, almost like family as soon as you arrive. They can do Sigiriya tours or anything else you want to do around Anuradaphura. All around, really the best people. Would visit again.

    I had the most wonderful time at the Ceylonima Home Stay. It was my first accommodation in Sri Lanka and as a female solo traveler I felt very welcome and safe. I had dinner at the homestay the first evening which tasted great! The next day, Mapa gave me and my friends a tour through Mihintale. We really enjoyed learning about the Buddhist culture! Mapa and his wife make sure you have everything you need and the car ride to the train station is just perfect! Thank you for introducing me to your country😊

    Probably the best home stay you can find around Anuradhapura. Hosts are super kind and super friendly. They will do everything to make you  feel comfortable. They were waiting for us with a 😊 and after 5 minutes chat we were just family. Comfortable room with AC, fast internet, tv and a spotless clean bathroom. They were even kind enough to lend us their son's bicycles for our little rides. And also food was excellent. Recommended for anyone visiting Anuradhapura looking for a homestay.

    Harshani is a great host. She provided us with lots of helpful recommendations what to see in the area and organized a driver and bus tickets for transportation. The homestay is located in the backyard surrounded by lots of palm trees, so it’s very quiet. The room was like on the pictures, it was simple but very good for one night. We had dinner at the place and Harshani provided us some delicious Sri Lankan food :-) thanks for everything!!!
