We had a great stay at the Green Village in Dambulla! The room was perfect, very clean, with air con, hairdryers, hot water - everything you could need! We were given fresh juice on arrival and had a delicious breakfast. The owner was amazing, he dropped us off in different places and gave us excellent recommendations. Would highly recommend a stay here if you are in Dambulla :)

Offering mountain views, Hotel Hanguk Villa in Dambulla provides accommodations and a garden. This guest house features free private parking and full-day security.

Villa Hanguk is an ideal spot if you plan to explore the Dambulla area. The owner is incredibly helpful, offering assistance with scooter or tuk-tuk rentals and organizing local trips. The villa is nestled just 400 meters from the main city street, surrounded by lush paddy fields. The beautifully maintained garden is filled with vibrant plants and flowers, offering plenty of cozy spots to relax—whether in a hammock, at a dining area, or playing table games. Being in the middle of nature, you can expect the delightful sounds of wildlife, including peacocks. It truly adds to the charm of the place. One of the highlights of our stay was the Sri Lankan food. The meals were not only delicious but also generously portioned. I highly recommend skipping outside restaurants and instead asking the staff to prepare dinner for you—you won’t be disappointed!

Offering garden views, Simoya Nature Park in Dambulla provides accommodations and a garden. Both free Wifi and parking on-site are accessible at the guest house free of charge.

We stayed in 8 different hotels and homestays during our trip and this one was the best by far. The couple managing the facility had a great job to create a very special environment and experience. The rooms were very clean, decorated with flowers etc. The breakfast was the best. They gave us great tips, suggestions for our trip. We felt like we are part of the family. The facility is very close to the Dambulla Cave Temple but it is also in a very silent corner with a great garden. You can see monkeys, giant squirrel, birds and other wildlife just around the facility. We definitely suggest this place to anyone traveling around Dambulla.

Providing garden views, Vihangi Guesthouse in Dambulla features accommodations, a garden, and a terrace.

We weren’t the easiest guests (asked for a 7 AM breakfast and then ended up sleeping in). Still, hosts were gracious and accommodating, taking time to help us plan our sightseeing and arrange for drivers. Room was simple but clean. Working A/C and hot water.

    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

    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.

    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.
