The owner picked us up at the bus stop and welcomed us with a fresh drink. We were happy to stay at this villa. The room has everything you need, the ac, the fan and it was very clean. It is located a bit far from the center but we liked it even more, because it was super calm. The owner also dropped us at the temple entrance and picked us up from there on his tuktuk all at the price of pick me app. Then the other day he drove us to sigiriya and even packed us a breakfast to go (tip: put it in your backpack), showed us other places on the way back and then helped us arrange a jeep trip to the national park with the elephants. The breakfast and dinner we had there were delicious. The staff is extremely polite and friendly!

Our stay at Simoya Nature Park was a delight. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The location is perfect for exploring the area (Sigiriya and the Cave Temple) and the accomodations is idyllic, surrounded by nature. Madhu and Sanjee were extremely accommodating and friendly, and took great care of us. I would highly recommend.

Great owners, very welcoming and kind. The room was very clean, we had everthing we needed. The house has a nice terrase facing jungle trees where you can spot monkeys and birds. Breakfast was good, location is perfect, close to Dambulla center but on a calm and green street. It is the street going to the cave temple - in about 5-10 minutes you can walk to the temple. Tuck-tuck to Dambulla is about 0.7 euros.

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful, largely thanks to the incredibly helpful and friendly hosts. They went above and beyond to make our trip smooth and enjoyable. They arranged our airport transfer at a very reasonable price, which was a huge convenience. The highlight, however, was definitely the safari they organized for us. They managed to get us a private jeep safari for the standard tour price, which was fantastic! Throughout our entire stay, they consistently made us feel very safe and well-cared for. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with exceptional hospitality.

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.

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.

My stay at Lake Island Home Stay in Dambulla was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived until the day I reluctantly departed, I was immersed in a paradise of tranquility and natural beauty. This charming homestay is a hidden gem that offers an authentic Sri Lankan experience like no other.

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.
