The room was spotless and incredibly comfortable, but what truly made this stay special were the owners—a sweet and welcoming couple who treated me like family. They were always ready to help, even offering rides whenever I needed them. One of my favorite moments was sitting in their beautiful garden, surrounded by nature, listening to birdsong while chatting with them. It felt like a little oasis of peace and warmth😊 If you're planning to visit Sigiriya Rock, Cave Rock, or the Golden Temple, this is hands down the best place to stay!!! The location is perfect for sightseeing, but more than that, the atmosphere here is something you won’t find anywhere else. I loved it so much that I ended up extending my stay for two extra days 😂 This hotel didn’t just give me a place to sleep—it made my Sri Lanka trip truly unforgettable. 10/10, highly recommend!!!!!

I really liked the staff, they were very friendly and welcoming. The place was pleasant, the rooms were clean, and overall it was very good value for money. I especially appreciated the welcome drink and breakfast included at such a reasonable price. During my trip to Sri Lanka, I stayed at five hotels, but this was the only one that offered both breakfast and a welcome drink. I stayed here with two friends, and we had a very good experience. I would strongly recommend this hotel for both family and friends..

The bed and pillows were super comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep every night. The hospitality was incredibly kind, and I was especially impressed by the fact that this is a small, family-run establishment. There’s a special warmth and charm in the way they manage everything—it feels like staying with family. The room was immaculately clean and very comfortable, and the accommodation was reasonably priced, offering great value for money. The food was both tasty and affordable, which added to the overall experience. If I could suggest one thing, it would be to add a small TV in the rooms, which might enhance the comfort for some guests. Overall, it was a delightful stay, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, family-oriented, and budget-friendly place to stay. Thank you for the amazing hospitality!

The hotel has only been operated for a couple months but it's well-equipped & had almost everything I needed. Bandara is a great host. He always tried to satisfy the guest's needs, as I asked him to help open the gate at 4am to go out for a morning hiking or when I borrowed some utensils in the late night. He arranged tuktuk for us sometimes with the better prices that we found on Pickme. Not to mention the ladies, they were so kind & caring, with captivating smiles. They made me feel so welcomed. I had the best breakfast here.

We stayed at this lovely guest house for 3 nights and had an amazing experience. The family hosting us was incredibly kind and went out of their way to help us with everything we needed, from planning our activities to making us feel at home. The food was absolutely delicious – some of the best we had during our time in Sri Lanka! The garden, filled with beautiful palm trees, was so peaceful and relaxing, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a warm and welcoming stay!

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.

From Dambulla, you’re just a short drive from the majestic Sigiriya Rock Fortress, the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, and the sacred ruins of Anuradhapura. The Dambulla Cave Temple itself is a stunning treasure, filled with ancient statues and beautiful murals. 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.

Well situated hotel (just off of Dambulla main street) with good access to transport, and plenty of close by restaurants. Really lovely room (exactly as the photos). Breakfast was amazing, plenty of really good food (paalappam, dosa, omelette, pancakes, toast, fruits). The owner's husband is a taxi driver so can take you to nearby Sigiriya/Pidurangala.
