A rundown house, run by a paranoid ('I don't trust people'), emotionally unstable sc***er, who'll angrily slap a 10% service fee on the price for 'All my advice and no one buys me a beer'. A lack of privacy - He asked that I leave my window shades open for ventilation and leave the key in my door when I went out, and zero other guests (Many reviewers were alone too), the dirty linen, the cobwebs, the dogs barging in, a 'free' room upgrade negated by the 10% fee, and here's a place to 100% avoid.

Would definitely recommend a stay here, the owner Paul is so lovely and is able to help you out and recommend what to do while in Anuradhapura.

Had a wonderful stay at Fig & Gecko. Paul, the owner, is fantastic. Warm and welcoming, lots of stories to share and great recommendations on things to do and see around the city (and sri lanka more broadly). Breakfast and dinner were also home cooked and delicious. Took the cooking class with the hostel and made the most delicious sri lankan meal. The showers could be cleaner but otherwise no complaints! Would stay here again!
