This is a family homestay, so we got to interact with a lovely family who did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. The location is brilliant - directly across the road from the Dambulla cave temples. Our room, and the facilities, were simple, but very clean. There was a small ensuite with toilet and shower. Breakfast was tasty and filling, and dinner was also cooked for us for a small extra charge. Our hosts arranged for a local driver to take us to Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya, and he was fabulous - taking us to lesser known temples as well as to the more popular sights. He also drove us to Kandy (our next stop) for a very reasonable price - stopping along the way for photo opps. SA Village was a wonderful opportunity for us to spend time with a family and learn more about Sri Lankan culture.

We traveled with our little daughter, who really enjoyed it. The accommodation is small but perfectly sufficient. It is located in beautiful nature, where you wake up to the sound of peacocks and other birds. The surroundings are stunning, and the breakfast area is lovely. We recommend trying their traditional sweet Sri Lankan breakfast. It is definitely ideal for a family with children. The location is perfect, just a 10-minute walk from the city. The owner is great and helpful; he offered tuk-tuk rides to and from the city and also assisted with getting on the bus to Kandy. Thank you!

The room was really clean and looking quite well compared to some other places we were in Sri Lanka. I think in Dambulla it might be the best hotel at this price range. The owners are amazing people.

Pawana Rest is an oasis of tranquility, perfect for chilling and unwinding after a long trip or after a day of exploring the many attractions around Dambulla.
This small but charming homestay is very well managed and the whole family works as a perfect team making sure that guests’ needs and requests are promptly met.
Our room was spotless, big enough, with a very comfortable bed and a basic but modern and functional bathroom.
The food – traditional Sri Lankan one, adapted to our spice tolerance level - cooked by Nuwan (currently training to become a chef) and his mother was hands down the best (quality and presentation) we had during our 1 month tour of Sri Lanka.
This family’s wonderful hospitality will make your stay in the Sri Lankan countryside a bliss.
Highly recommend.

The hosts were amazing! They helped us organise a safari and were great at communication. The room was fairly clean - though bags are needed in the garbage bins. The AC was welcomed during the heat wave. Breakfast was lovely!

Very kind hosts, very clean place, amazing price, even was a warm water in the shower. Thank you so much for your warmly welcome🩷
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
Amazing place, we enjoyed every minute there. Located further down from the main street, so it's very quiet. However, it's still close to all the restaurants and shops. Room was spacious, clean, A/C worked just fine, bed was comfortable. Breakfast was fine, food tasty, every morning we had fresh fruits to eat. Susa - husband of the host recommended us places to visit and arranged transport for us for two whole days. We highly recommend Rock Arch - best guesthouse in Dambulla.
Very quiet and nice hotel. The host was super helpful and helped us organize our trip and transport on very short notice (2-3 hours before starting). Breakfast was plenty and the Freitag platter a highlight. 10-15 minute walk to the city center. Can definitely recommend
Great host, very helpful and friendly.
Room was clean, good size with a pool right outside the door.
Exceptional value for money.
Great location for easy access to local attractions
The property is 5-6 min walk from Cargill supermarket and 8-10 min from the city center. Perfect for a quiet stay. The premises are maintained clean. Host is very helpful, he can get you a tuk-tuk to anywhere, arrange safari or Sigiria trips or any other activities.
The nice hosts and their charming boy made me feel like home.
Very quiet place and close to the temple.
The food, Rohini cooked only for, me was amazing.
Great place to stay. Friendly owner, who takes care of all his guests, ensuring they enjoy the stay in his guest house and Sri Lanka. And helping to plan the visit for those who haven't yet specified their plans
Place is close to the city centre but in quiet area with no traffic noise.
Restaurant with delicious food available (best roti I have ever eat).
Tuk tuk and taxi service available. I would recommend it for everyone who plans to visit Dambulla.
Accommodation in a small bed and breakfast with breakfast in a quiet part of Dambulla, near Dambulla Cave Temple. Clean, cozy room with air conditioning, a double bed, and a private bathroom with a toilet. Running hot water, a kind and helpful hostess who assists with transportation and other activities in the area.
Highly recommended.
The guest house is in a beautiful location, with easy access to transport to town and places of interest. Good for visiting the local temples (walking distance) and Sigiriya rock. Our host welcomed us with tea and fresh fruit, and provided a huge breakfast each day and a good evening meal. Our room was clean and the bed comfy.
The best guesthouse I have EVER stayed in and therefore deserves a lot of compliments. Well- equipped - almost everything you needed has been thought of by the host. It came with a touch of class and luxury too. Felt like at least a 4 to 5-star room. The room was spacious. The room was separate from the main bungalow and was therefore very private. The location was also excellent - near the main streets with shops and yet off it so that it was very quiet. Well done Rock Arch!
It is probably the closest appartement to the Temple cave and the golden Temple. And the best is, that you are in the nature and can observe the monkeys and birds from your own terrace while it is very quiet and you dont have the trouble of the city. The host has a friend who drives you by tuk tuk to e.g. the lion rock. For Sure you can also go by bus which is a lot cheaper.
Also the appartement and everything around is really beautiful.
