Our commitment

LankaGuide is committed to providing accurate, up-to-date, and genuinely useful information to our readers. Whether you are looking for a local business, planning a trip, or navigating a government process, we aim to give you trustworthy content you can act on with confidence.

How we research content

All content published on LankaGuide is researched and written by our editorial team. Our process includes:

  • Primary sources: Government service guides reference official .gov.lk websites, gazettes, and department circulars. We link to official sources wherever possible.
  • Local verification: Travel guides and business listings are based on local knowledge, on-the-ground visits, and direct contact with business owners where practical.
  • Cross-referencing: We cross-check details against multiple sources including Google Maps, public review platforms, and official tourism resources.
  • Expert review: Our team members have lived and worked in Sri Lanka and bring first-hand experience of the locations, processes, and services we cover.

Business directory listings

Businesses listed on LankaGuide are included based on publicly available information. We do not accept payment in exchange for inclusion in our directory or for editorial coverage. Listings include details such as category, location, contact information, and business descriptions gathered from:

  • Direct submissions by business owners
  • Publicly available business registries and directories
  • On-the-ground research by our team
  • Open data sources and mapping platforms

Business owners can request corrections or removals at any time by contacting us.

How we keep content current

Every article and guide on LankaGuide displays its publication date and last-updated date. We review and update content periodically — especially government service guides where fees, processes, and requirements may change. When we update an article, we revise the "last updated" date and note material changes in the content.

Advertising and sponsored content

LankaGuide may display advertisements to support the free availability of our content. Advertising does not influence our editorial decisions — what we write, which businesses we feature, or how we rank or describe any listing. Sponsored content, if any, is always clearly labelled.

Corrections and feedback

We take accuracy seriously. If you spot an error, outdated information, or have a suggestion for improvement, please let us know at info@lankaguide.lk. We review feedback promptly and update content as needed.

Attribution

All articles are authored by the LankaGuide Editorial Team unless otherwise noted. Every piece of content displays author attribution and the date it was last reviewed. We believe transparency about who creates our content and when it was last verified is essential to earning our readers' trust.
