A clean modern hotel with a huge room, quality fixtures and fittings, fully equipped with balcony, comfortable bed and an actual bath! The breakfast was massive, with a choice of either Sri Lankan or eggs, sausage and pancakes, along with fruit and toast. The hotel has a proper restaurant (unlike others that claim to) and we ate here one night. The food was delicious and plentiful, beer is available. The family are very happy and helpful, arranging tuk tuks and giving advice. Dambulla is a town without much to attract tourists, except the impressive cave temples and the international cricket stadium. The hotel is in perfect location for both by tuk tuk. Our visit coincided with an international match and the hotel is actually within walking distance of the stadium, about half an hour flat walk.

I was there for 3 nights, it was thoroughly impressed! The property beautifully designed, and thoughtfully equipped with everything a guest could need. The rooms are spotless, stylish, and very comfortable—clearly a lot of care has gone into every detail. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming with king coconut, going above and beyond to ensure I had a pleasant stay. Though the guest house is new, everything ran smoothly and professionally. Every dish was full of flavor and clearly made with care with sri lankan spices & Herbs The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was inviting, and the taste—simply amazing. Every breakfast had organic juice, A great spot for anyone who loves good food. Highly recommended The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, and the location is convenient for exploring the surrounding area. There are spices plantation Whether you're staying for leisure, this place is a fantastic choice This place offers a perfect blend of beauty, comfort, and memorable experiences. Whether you're going solo, with friends, or family, there's something here for everyone. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore, relax, and enjoy something truly special I can already tell this guest house is going to build a great reputation. Highly recommended—I look forward to coming back! Thank you.

I stayed at a hotel in Summerset for one night and had a very pleasant experience. The service was excellent—staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it easy to relax after a long day. Even though it was a short stay, everything met my expectations. I would definitely consider staying here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-serviced hotel in SummerSet.

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.

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.

I highly recommend Hotel Awaken for a stay in Dambulla. It is an oasis of calm, far away enough not to hear road noise but close enough for an easy walk to catch a bus or to eat ( Bentota Bake House is a must !!! ) The property is well managed and Asanka and his family are lovely hosts. Asanka goes out of his way to be accommodating.The breakfasts were large, delicious and different each morning.

We were in this property for one night. The architecture of the rooms were so spacious, cute and relaxing. The entire property looks fresh since they have built the hotel recently. The Hotel staff was friendly and supportive. MOI is located very close to Dambulla town and the cave temple. We really enjoyed our brief stay there.
