The worse hotel I had ever been in Anuradhapura. Me and my extended family (20 group of people) stayed at this place last weekend and the experience is disgusting!! The view in front of the hotel is nice as it's lake and the breeze from that keeps you cool in a hot humid day. But the person who is in-charge kept smoking inside the visitors garden and it was very indecent. 
The actual rooms are far more different compared to their pictures posted. The windows and doors are cracked and there were no proper locking system for some rooms. As we have booked 4 large rooms, I couldn't see any good thing in any of those rooms. Rooms are big enough but the sheets were not cleaned. They had dirt all over the place and we had to use our own bed sheets. A/Cs were not worked properly and when we asked them to check they were very rude on us yelling that, locals do not need proper A/C. 
Bathrooms are very poorly maintained and water is flooded everywhere due to poor plumbing. The bathrooms are very small, badly smelled, not-cleaned well and poorly maintained. Fittings are broken and shower stopped working few times. 
With all these bad service, he wanted to charge a service fee which we were not agreed during the booking. We refused to give it as their service is the worse and literally there were no service to us at all!!
NOT RECOMMENDING TO ANYONE!!!

Worse hotel experience!

We stayed here for two nights and it wasn't long enough! The hotel was so lovely and peaceful.
Upali and his family are so kind. They make an effort for you to feel at home. As the only guests during our stay, we had loads of privacy but someone was always close by so you can ask for anything at anytime. They helped us to make up a plan for our stay, negotiated with our tuk tuk drivers and organised a safari. Upali even drove us to Wilpattu at 5.30am and his wife already had coffee waiting for us as well as a packed lunch for the safari. We also ate dinner and breakfast at the hotel which was amazing! These extras are added to the bill, but it is definitely worth it and is very fairly priced for the great service they provided. I would love to stay again!!

Oh, and Upali also arranged a great driver for us for the next two days of our trip who helped put together an exciting plan.

Wish we stayed longer!

The hotel is right on the shore of the beautiful Kumbichchan Kulama lake - we slept to the lovely sound of the waves splashing and the birds chirping. We had an upstair room with an amazing view of the lake. The whole place has an very laid back vibe. At the evening, we spent hours at the amazing large open common area next to the lake, reading and planning our next days. Thanks to the owner who provided us with a lot of great tips and advices about Anuradhapura and traveling through Sri Lanka.

We rented a a bike from the front desk and the Lake View Hotel was the perfect base for a day in the sacred city.

Next to the lake, birds and waves instead of traffic noise

The location is good, close to a supermarket and the main bus station.

 · We were disappointed on arrival to find the hotel really didn't live up to the photos. An atmosphere-less shared area with owners family(?) sitting around watching t.v. We had booked a budget room, the owner showed us the room which didn't even have a sheet on the bed. The pillows and mattress were dirty which I assume was the plan as the owner immediately began to aggressively up sell us into a more expensive room, which we felt was our only option really. The bedding was at least clean, but the room had a musty smell, air con which didn't work, bathroom door that wouldn't close and the door to the corrider wouldn't even lock from the inside! We let it go as couldn't be bothered bringing it up after a long journey. The younger man working at reception very kindly let us use the bicycles that evening for free, the bikes were in very poor condition - rusty, lacking any gears, locks that were rusted closed but rideable and for free we weren't going to complain! The man initially stated the bikes would be 500 rupees each for the day, but that evening we asked if we could just take them the following day for free as we had that night. To which he agreed and said the reception didn't open until 8am so if we took them at 7:30ish it would be fine, which is what we did. However, when we came to pay, the owner insisted that we had to pay the 1000 rupees for the bikes. When we tried to explain the situation and the misunderstanding the younger man at reception denied any knowledge of our earlier conversation and agreement. Had we known we would be paying the exorbitant amount that they charge for these completely unmaintained bikes we would have looked for better ones elsewhere. The owners manner was bloshy & unpleasant and it was a very uncomfortable situation. We were relieved to be checking out the next day. We left early to catch a bus, no sign of the owners so we left our room key on the rteaeception counter but we're later accused by them of stealing the key and AC controller blatantly lying to undermine our poor booking.com review.

Regret stay & Shifty owners

Lake wave is a very nice place and Upali and the rest of the family are wonderful People.
The rooms are basic but clean and good value for the price. 
We had both breakfast and diner which were really nice. 

Upali could answer all of our questions and helped by driving us to the next destination with telling lots of info during This ride.
