Maho Boutique Hotel

The moment I arrived, everyone was friendly, fast and helpful. Everything was communicated via whatsapp, food was prepared in advanced at the times I want and all freshly cooked! I was SO blown away by the dinner, particularly the icecream. The boutique hotel was so quiet, tranquil and I had a 9 hour sleep easily. Much needed during travel days! 100% recommend to my friends if they’re coming to Anuradhapura!!

The hotel is beautiful, and super quiet, since it's technically 3 separate cottages + the reception/restaurant. The garden is a sight to behold, kept in pristine condition, and you have your own patio area looking out over it. There's trees all around, so you're spotting birds while having the delicious breakfast. The swimming pool is also very nicely kept, and offers a nice place to cool off. It had a nice temperature, not cold but also not sickly warm like some of the other pools we experienced during our August-September trip (likely on account of the trees providing some shade). We had lunch twice, and dinner once, during our one night stay. The food is genuinely a stand-out, best rice & curry we had during our trip (especially the dahl had a great consistency and depth of flavour). The whole team running the place is super friendly, and the host especially makes you feel right at home. She also helped us by booking a guide that showed us around the temples in Anuradhapura and took us to Mihintale, all very last minute, on the day we arrived.

There was a gap in the skylight of our bathroom, it was covered with a grate, but that didn't seal it entirely. Good for ventilation but occasionally some small critters find their way in. It's closed of by a glass door, so they don't make it into the bedroom, but still, something that could be improved.

An amazing boutique hotel in a perfect location for seeing Anuradhapura's temples and palaces. Beautiful design, luxury rooms and stunning garden/pool area. Great breakfasts and wonderful evening meals under the stars. Very quiet location but only minutes by tuk tuk or bicycle from the main sights. Family run with superb staff and service.

Nothing - it was perfect.

Le personnel est aux petits soins, dans un lieu magnifique et très bien tenu. Le cuisinier est lui aussi remarquable, de délicieux petits plats, savoureux, équilibrés, tout ce que l’on aime. Nous avons passés 4 nuits dans cet hôtel plein de charme et de sérénité. Nous le recommandons.

Pas grand chose à vrai dire, c’est un vrai coup de cœur !
