We were the first visitors, it was a bit risky for us because this place had no opinion, but it turned out to be a really nice place, clean, no insects, no bad smell, no moisture in the air, very hygenic. Hosts were very kind, helpful and english speeking people. It was a pleasure to be there :)

    Fantastic host who went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable - including a welcoming cold drink. Great food at a very good price. Very quiet, peaceful location. It's a bit out of town, but perfect for us as we were on bicycles. Really lived our stay and even got to watch the IPL in our hut. Thank you for making our stay so nice.

    Cheap hostel, and you get what you pay for, which is obviously fine if you're on a budget! The beds are quite large and each has a strong fan, which is great for the heat. I found the beds very comfortable, vut some people might find the matress too hard/thin. Host is very nice and helpful. Bicycles are available for rent to visit the ancient city. Large lockers available too.

    Very friendly host who goes beyond to make his guests feel welcome. He prepared fresh welcome drinks on our arrival and was always willing to help throughout our stay. Our room was very spacious, absolutely clean and included a good mosquito net. The dinner that we had in the guest house (rice and curry) was one of the best of our whole Sri Lanka trip and was offered to us for a super cheap price.

    Great host and lovely family. Janaka (Johny) is willing to help you with everything. He can give you a lot of information and advice about everything too. As a solo traveler it felt like a warm stay. Its easy to get there by tuktuk, nice and quiet city escape and for the food you can stay at ‘home’, that’s really delicious.

    Amsterdam is a small host with several rooms. Rooftop and common space in front of the reception are available for use. Owner allowed us to use mini-kitchen for food storage (not intended for common use). Guest house is extremely clean. Rooms are very bright, furniture is new. Quiet neighborhood around. During our stay owner helped me to fix problems with bike and surprisingly provided set of food for our trip to Mihintale. 10/10
