    It’s just a paradise you find and you don’t wanna move. The host is so so nice. The vibe is amazing. Quiet place. The lake is beautiful. Probably the best hostel you can find in Sri Lanka.

    This is the perfect little hostel to base your travels in Anuradhapura. Jonti has set up a jungle paradise. You wouldn't know you're in the middle of the city. Have great chats and get all the tips from a proud local. Loved it.
