Amazing hosts, amazing room! We loved our stay here. It is a bit far away from the main beach, but we liked that. The beach in front of the door was nice and quiet. We had the new bungalow at the very back with a huge bed, great mosquito net and a fantastic bathroom. The owners are very, very friendly.

Proximity to the beach is perfect. Off the main road so quieter but very close to everything. Really helpful staff. Great space including balcony area. We didn’t even use the kitchen but its nice to have use of the fridge.

Great Reviews: We had a great time in the apartment. It was nearby the beach and shops and we had a lot of Space. Lanka4me arranged a taxi to the airport in the night, so we where on time for Our flight.

Our hosts made us feel incredibly welcomed! We stayed on the upper apartment which had everything we needed. The place was very clean and had a classy Sri Lankan style. We were very lucky to share a night of music and good food with our neighbours downstairs. We loved everything including the location. It was in a safe neighbourhood with a 3 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute walk to the supermarket.

Had a great stay in Negombo at then end of our Sri Lankan trip. The apartment was perfect, good size, full kitchen, close to beach, shops and bars and most importantly in the Sri Lankan heat – lots of fans!!! Also a lovely couple living below that helped with airport transfer at 4am. We had a bit of a nightmare with train delays getting back from Ella and our intended 8:30pm arrival ended up turning into a midnight arrival, not much fun in monsoon rain and no buses to Negombo but Lanka4me was AMAZING!!! Constant contact via phone and their driver Raj was on hand regardless of time to pick us up, with a big smile, it was just what we needed at the end of a 14hr mammoth journey. Thank you Lanka4me and Raj 🙂

Prasad and his wife Shani named the guest house “Boa Vista” as the owner is a descendant of Portuguese origin. They promise to give you a warm welcome and be at hand to help you with your enquiries.

The Boa Vista is also listed in the Lonely Planet Guide. However some of the rooms and bathrooms look dated, and need refurbishment. This is however compensated by the low price and the great view.

Room types include AC and non AC family rooms with two double beds and twins with two singles. For non AC, the remote for the AC is not made available.

Rooms have ceiling fans, some have mosquito nets.

All have private attached bathrooms with toilet, douche, wash basin and hot water shower.

Wifi is available but possibly not in all rooms. Strongest wifi reception is in the hotel lobby area.

Some rooms have a balcony. For those that do,  you get an exceptional view over Lake Thissa.

Also try their coffee. In my opinion, it is the best in Anuradhapura.

Breakfast is not included.

Being on the north part of Thissa Wewa, the Boa Vista is within 5 minutes tuktuk ride to the ruins of the Sacred City of Anuradhapura, and within 10 minutes of the Main Street of Anuradhapura town. It is 35 mins to Mihintale Rock to the east, and 40 mins to Wilpaththu National Park to the west.

This guest house has lost its former glory in that it requires refurbishment, but hopefully the warm hospitality makes up for some of that. Remember to try their coffee!!!
