The kindest hosts!! And a great location to explore Anradhapura. There weren’t many people there when I was there but that’s not really anyone’s fault. The only issue was that the AC wasn’t working in the room I was assigned. Thankfully there was a bed available in another room, but apparently in 2 out of 3 rooms the AC doesn’t work. So if you’re not in the 2-bed dorm, it likely won’t have air conditioning. It‘s fine if it’s broken but a heads-up would’ve been great, as I alw...

it's more of a guesthouse than a hostel, but guess what? That's great! staff were friendly and it's very close to the bus stop. Of course the value is excellent. Hidden Gem: The walking bath by the nearby lake is excellent and mostly filled with locals.

The name of the hostel really describes it all, the family, the vibe, rooms and amenities. Ash is a stand up guy who will help with anything questions or concerns. The location is perfect from the bus station with lots of good restaurants and shops nearby. The jungle tour is setup really well from the confirmation to arranging pickup from other hotels or hostels. All I can say is give it a shot and enjoy.

I passed three really good nights at Feel Like Home Anuradhapura. The house is located outside of the busy city but still close enough that you can easily find food. The family that owns it is super nice and helped me with all of the questions I had having just arrived to Sri Lanka. The facilities were basic but completely sufficient and the atmosphere in the evenings was incredibly friendy and warm. Really recommended!

Mixed experience here. Room was comfortable/ clean, no issues with mosquitos (theres nets) but no AC or hot water. Definitely a homestay vibe, sometimes difficult to find the man whos running things, you can feel like youre intruding. I did safari through them which was good but Ash the guide wasnt the best which was suprising after the reviews. He complained about having to work, also slept at points on tour. free drinking water is great, good location too. For the price/couple nights its f...

Prima plek, wel beetje gekke andere gasten. Niet heel bijzonder, maar wel heel goedkoop en daarom een aanrader als je op zoek bent naar budget hostel

Für den Preis, super „Hostel“ - leider wenig los und es ist mehr ein Homestay, da die Hosts und Familie im selben Haus wohnen. Dafür bekommt man aber gute Tipps für Anuradhapura, hilft vor allem, wenn sonst niemand vor Ort ist bzw die meisten nur für die Safari kommen (verständlich)

Hele aardige en behulpzame mensen die graag holpen met de weg vinden of thee of fruit voor me maakte. De douches waren wel koud, maar voor de prijs was deze plek het heel erg waard! ik heb ook de safari gedaan met ash, fijn hoe dat vanuit het hostel geregeld werd en de safari zelf was ook heel erg leuk!

The bathroom smells and has mold on the ceiling. The beds are fine. There's no air conditioning in the women's room, but there is a fan. It wasn't very cozy when I was there, but I've been away a lot. It's located on a very dark street.

Wir hatten ein 4 Bett Zimmer gebucht, aber haben ein 3 Bett Zimmer bekommen. Wir hatten Schimmel an der wand im Bad und Kakerlaken. Dazu war der Boden recht staubig und man hatte keine Ablagemöglichkeit für seine Sachen. Dusche war kalt. Trotzdem war die Familie total nett und hat uns Kaffee gebracht als wir vom Regen nass wurden. Es war mehr wie ein Homestay als ein Hostel.
