The location is really nice as it is a bit away from the main toad (5min walk). The hosts are the nicest guys, which were ready to arrange everything we have asked for. They have arranged a safari in Kaudulla and then dropoff at the next hotel we were staying. They prepared us the most delicious curry and rice for dinner. Breakfast was also amazing, Srilankan’s pancakes and roti, fresh fruit and fresh juice. I recommend this hotel to everyone and we were sad that couldn’t stay for more nights.

We have had a lovely time at Simoya Nature Park, the hosts being lovely and very helpful. The room is beautiful and the food is delicious. We tried dinner as well, not just the breakfast on the balcony which was included and was the highlight of our stay.

The bathroom and room are very spacious with a nice terrace with beautiful garden view. Nuwan and his family are very special, they immediately make you feel part of their family. Their service is far above all standards, with his TukTuk he brought us to unknown spots, arranged day trips for us and was always asking if we need any support. The breakfast and dinner are super tasteful. Highly recommended!

It’s a super nice place with amazing hosts! If you’re looking for a place to stay around Dambulla look no further. This homestay is all you need. Good location, helpful hosts that picked us up from the bus, organized best safari and shared a lot of information. Also food is great. Make sure that you have dinner at least once. We ended up eating here every night of our stay, was that good.

The couple running the homestay was fantastic! They were very welcoming, cooked really great dinner and breakfast and welcomed us with homemade passionfruit juice! They also helped to arrange a tour of the area and even drove us to our next stay in Anuradhapura themselves which was a very enjoyable drive. The room was also perfect, clean and comfortable.

The hosts are very kind and helpful. They collected us from the bus station in a tuktuk free of charge. They can also bring you to Sigiriya rock at sunrise. The breakfast was delicious local Sri Lankan food. The room was basic but comfortable with good aircon. Would really recommend this accommodation.

The room was a great size, spotlessly clean. We booked on the afternoon we intended to check in, Roy was very accommodating and a fabulous host. The breakfast was so delicious with so much variety too. Roy also helped us book a last minute elephant safari, cooked us a sumptuous traditional Sri Lankan dinner, and dropped us off at the bus station for our onward journey. He even went back to the property when we realised we had forgotten one of our bags. A wonderful man! Thanks for a great stay!

Had a super nice stay at Blue Mountain View. Went here because of the good reviews, especially about the host. Unfortunately the host wasn't around for most of our stay due to personal things, but Deshani (new employee) helped us very good! She showed us around the area during an evening walk and explained everything about the beautiful farmlands and their crops. All the best wishes to Pradeep and his family!

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.
