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 :)

- extremely nice and helpful family - good food - good location (close to rock temple, which I personally thought to be way too touristic) - had no mosquitos in room (which lacks mosquito net, though) - I recommend doing Pidurangala rock over Sigiriya

    Ruan was the most amazing host for this beautiful homestay. We exchanged a lot of stories and had such a great time with him and his family. They cooked amazing food for us, homegrown from their own farm and Ruan sat with us through each meal and we had great conversations with him. Loved out time there and would go back to Sri Lanka only to meet our friend again😊

    Clean bed and spacious room. The food was amazing and the host and his family were friendly and generous. The area was quiet but it was easy enough to get into Dambula town; the home stay was also very close to the cave temple and rock, an easy 15 minute walk.

    This is as comfortable as you can get in a home stay. I had a nice clean room, very clean washroom, host who was very hospitable and provided breakfast every day on the set time. Dinner whenever I requested. Beautiful home cooked food. As long as you don’t expect 5 star comfort, this is as good as it gets on a home stay setting

    Host family are very friendly and kind. They prepared a huge breakfast for us every morning with tea and coffee. They also drove us to dinner when it was raining in their tuk tuk. There are mosquito nets over the bed. The hot water system doesn’t get super hot (which was the same in all our home stays) but it was warm. The home stay is walking distance from restaurants.

    The host family were so lovely and helpful, nothing was too much to ask. Indika gave us plenty of lifts on his tuk tuk into town, very generously for free, and took his day to show us around the sights and ensure we got an excellent tour. We felt really welcomed and at home here and would definitely stay again. The room was clean and the setting of the homestay was beautiful - lots of plants and they even grow their own fruit to use in juices and for breakfast.

    My stay at Pradeep’s homestay was absolutely wonderful. The place is beautifully located offside the busy streets in a rural area. Homemade food, a stroll through the own garden, having a nap in the hammock and a swim in the nearby river - is everything you wish for. I could have stayed for 2 weeks easily. If you are looking for a calm place to ease off, a lovely family home stay and like to experience real life in sri lanka, this is the place to go! it‘s really 12/10.
