Me and my boyfriend stayed for 2 nights and we loved the room, it was really comfortable and clean! The hosts are lovely, always with a friendly attitude with a smile on their faces! On our last night they woke up at 4am to make a tea for us because we wanted to watch the sunrise at pidurangala rock and we are really grateful for their kindness! Thank you guys, wish you all the best!

The owner and his Family are wonderful. We felt very welcome and taken care of. The food (breakfast and dinner) are home cooked and super delicious. They even drove us late in the evening to the hospital - just very nice people. The location is good as well to see the national parks in the north.

So beatiful and calmly place. Lake area is gorgeous and the view is stunning. Staff is helpful and friendly in every way. We booked at first only one night, but the we extended for 3 more days. Rooms were quiet big and comfortable. Clean and the food was ok, but not that special like we got in the rest of the country.

This place was such a pleasant surprise! They opened recently, so everything is brand new and perfect, but what really stands out is how much the owners clearly love what they do. You can immediately feel it in the cleanliness, the kindness, and even the care they put into the decorations. The bathrooms are spacious and spotless, the beds are very comfortable, and everything feels welcoming. Truly recommended!

The room was large, clean, and comfortable. It had strong water pressure with hot water, and great air-con. It says ‘Eric~South Korea’ I guess because I’m here now. I’m from California and I’ve traveled 126 countries. I was very sick when I arrived at the hotel. I slept long time. When I woke up, I came out and the first thing they did was offer to bring breakfast at 11:30am on several plates. That never happened to me in Cal., any other state in my country, and no other time in these other countries, except this place. When was the last time you were offered the complimentary breakfast at 11:30am?!

We had a great stay with Asanka and his family. First of all the property is perfectly equipped & very clean and tidy. You can tell everything has been done with attention to detail and a high standard. It is also separated enough from the main house to have privacy. What we appreciated the most was the generous & warmhearted hosting - it was exceptional, and we really enjoyed getting to know more of the local culture this way. The place is a short 10-minute walk from the busier main street, so you get to enjoy some extra piece and quiet with deliciously cooked breakfast. The host gave us excellent recommendations and helped us visit nearby attractions. We hope to come again!

Friendly family members and a surprise cultural performance by Nadeeka and Yatawatha's daughters Nishadi and Vishni! One of the most enjoyable homestay experiences I have had.

    We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.

    Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. We stayed there for 4 Nights and could cover the heritage sites easily. Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.

Located at the heart of this historic region, it offers unbeatable access to some of the country’s most iconic sites.

With its central location, Dambulla is the ideal base for exploring these cultural wonders, while also providing a peaceful escape surrounded by nature. Whether you're into history, culture, or simply breathtaking landscapes, Dambulla is the best place to start your journey through Sri Lanka’s rich heritage.

    I loved everything they have amazing vibe, nothing was to much trouble . All staff kind and helpful. Dambulla is quiet but has local shops, cafes Pizza Hut, great small restaurant a few miles from Evergreen serving very good food. It's run by the people who run Evergreen. So recommended by me.. Anything you want to do or go and see will be arranged for you Tuk Tuk guy is a staff member . If you need car/driver it will be arranged.

    Less than a 5-minute drive from the city center, this hotel is nestled on a vast plain, creating a tranquil escape. Its location is convenient for Sigiriya (approximately a 30-minute drive), downtown Dambulla, and the cave temples. The room was comfortable, the amenities worked flawlessly, the garden setting was delightful, and the staff were warm and attentive. The breakfast was delicious and highly recommended! For such a reasonable price, with such a good accommodation and breakfast, and a prime location, it's truly excellent!

It is one of the best places we ever stayed in with the friendliest staff on earth. Everyone was so kind, explaining a lot of interesting things about Sri Lanka, the food etc! The manager of the hotel is such a friendly guy, we felt at home immediately! An absolute must go if you would like to discover the area around Dambulla!

They also prepared us a delicious breakfast everyday, which we enjoyed with a gorgeous view. Isuru took us around for the day in their Tuk Tuk to see Sigiriya Rock, Golden Temple and many other sites. The facilities were clean and beautiful. Lovely views in the restaurant area.

    This lovely hotel in Dambulla exceeded my expectations! I booked a dorm, but got upgraded to a private room for the same price - amazing! The family who runs it is super friendly, and the place is spotlessly clean. Plus, it's perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk from the main road. Highly recommend!
