    Comfy and clean, our host was very accommodating! When we arrived he drove us to multiple attractions and picked us up again. He also dropped us to the restaurant he recommended and organised for someone to drop us back. Very kind and friendly and helped us get the bus to Kandy the next day

    Owner was very friendly and welcomed us with a banana lassi. Room was very clean and the nicest we stayed at in Sri Lanka! Super close to the cave temple - can walk there in 15 mins. Great bathroom, really comfortable bed, mirror, clothes stand. Everything we needed! Plus super cute dog, Ellie who i miss already.

    Small bit outside of Dambulla town which was actually nice. Still a few spots to eat close by

    Stayed here for 3 nights in total. Extremely clean with a/c. Only a short walk from the golden temple. Host is extremely accommodating. Took us to see the sunset from a viewpoint close by on our first evening there. The following morning took us to the base of pidurangala for a sunrise hike and then breakfast after. He also took us on a tour around the locality. Gave great recommendations for local restaurants and attractions.

    A bit far from everything and we asked for a pick up which cost extra. They wanted to charge more even for extra toilet paper which is weird.

    Very nicely decorated cute room in the family’s home. Clean and with everything you need.

    The owner went above and beyond to make our experience amazing. He took us on a sunset tour to the most beautiful hidden spot for free! He also drove to Sigiriya after leaving for a very reasonable price. Nothing was too much hassle. He also recommended a great buffet breakfast place only 2 min walk away only 800lkr. The room was so beautiful and felt luxurious. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. The shower was hot. The AC was great. We felt so relaxed here in the beautiful green garden. Everything you need is only a 5 minute tuk tuk ride away (if you feel like leaving as it is so relaxing here)! We could not have had a better stay, thanks so much!

    Perfect for our four nights on Dambulla, we used our stay as a base to travel round.and it was perfect! Tea on arrival and breakfast were delicious! Our host was very helpful in organising our excursions and was a godsend in arranging our train tickets between Kandy and Ella. Altogether a great place to stay!!

    The short stay.

    Indunil, the owner, was an amazing host. Friendly guy with nice energy and commitment to make your stay a perfect one. The place is so beautiful, with a nice garden and the rooms are big and comfortable (AC included). So far the best accommodation on my solo trip through Sri Lanka. Indunil prepared a full day of tourism through Sigiriya which was more than expected. Good value for money. A place to repeat.

    It’s about a 40 min walk to the main town but you can easily get a tuk tuk for cheap.

    Very clean, modern, had all the amenities we needed and the bed was lovely! Wifi was really fast, ideal bathroom facilities and serene outdoor space. The property was a 10-15 min walk to the Dambulla cave temple and about a 10 minute drive to the main town area. The host was incredible, he went above and beyond for us! He organised an amazing safari tour, taxied us around for dinner and took us to an iconic sunset spot. Would 100% stay here again!!

    The location was very hard to find - we went down several roads before finding it. Leaving the place early one morning we took a wrong turn walking and were quickly surrounded by barking dogs - we were extremely scared. Locals suggested that the dogs wouldn't harm us - but it ruined the walking experience for us for the rest of the week. That said the location was generally good - quiet from the loud streets of Dambulla.

    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!

    The bed was quite short for us (we are about 1.80m), but the host said they will replace it soon. The host tried to provide extra service (tour to Sigiriya,...), which was too pushy for us and quite expensive (3500 LKR, but we did not try to bargain it). We also were charged taxes additionally to the price (even though booking said it was included), so be careful to check that. Furthermore there were frogs in the bathroom, it did not bother us, but might others.

    The overall price was really good (~4500 LKR with breakfast), the bedroom was nice and the host was taxing us around to the cave temple and back free of charge.
