Most memorable stay in Sri Lanka

10.0

My stay here was the absolute best. I ended up staying here for 9 nights because I loved it so much I didn’t want to leave. The room is spacious and clean. The food is also really good. Most of all staying here you get to experience the donkeys close up and all the other amazing work they do here (from providing education to supporting the local community). I loved getting to know the donkey closely and was able to groom them, spend as much time with them as I wanted and bought them bananas and carrots for treats which was so lovely to see their excitement. I was able to volunteer to help out during my stay which I can recommend as it was a really rewarding experience. Also Alhathir offers tours that take you all around the biggest sights of Mannar which I did and it was the best experience. The family and staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I really recommend staying here if you want an authentic experience while supporting a really good cause. You might end up staying longer than you planned, just like me :) I have only just left and am already constantly thinking about coming back as I loved it so much.

Loved the donkeys, very quiet isolated place.Unfortunately the wife was not feeling well so she only managed to give us dinner for the first night.Stayed three nights so it was a slight inconvenience to have to go out for breakfast,lunch and dinner.However the family running the place we're really kind and even though not well they let me use the washing machine and even hung my clothes out because I was off getting breakfast.

Such a great way to learn more about the history of donkeys in Sri Lanka. Would recommend staying here instead of just visiting for a day. You can really see how much passion they put into the work, and the owners were incredibly welcoming.

You get a tour of the donkey sanctuary and can feed the donkeys. Had a lot of fun! Room was clean and breakfast was very good. Help these guys out, they are doing a great job with helping the unlucky donkeys and the local comunity. Very friendly and helpful owners who can also organise bird watching activities.

La chambre était très confortable, propre et fonctionnelle.

Le repas proposé était bon mais il manquait le "spicy" Sri lankais.
