Sri Lanka Travel Guide - Accommodation

Sri Lanka offers a wide choice of accommodation. There are several international-class 5-star hotels. There are also many park bungalows run by the Department of Wildlife Conservation, which are furnished and equipped for comfort rather than sophistication.

Grading: Hotels are classified from 1 to 5 stars.

Inns, guest houses and rest houses offer comfortable but informal accommodation.

For visitors who would like to get to know the Sri Lankans and see how they live, arrangements can be made to stay in private homes or on a tea or rubber plantation.

A network of domestic resorts in prime locations has been set up in Nuwara Eliya, Bandarawela, Anuradhapura, Kataragama and Bentota. Accommodation is comfortable and moderately priced.
