It is a hotel with a very good quality-price ratio. It is located in a very quiet place. The rooms are very spacious and very clean. They overlook a very pretty garden. The breakfast is very good and abundant. We had rice with curry and chicken for dinner there, which was a delight. The staff was very attentive. They picked us up at the station and helped us arrange the motorcycle rental. Very friendly. It's a great place.

One of the best properties in dambulla. The room is spacious and super clean. Right from the bath towels to soap, shampoo shower gel everything was provided. We have stayed in a few BB's that's not the case everywhere. Our package included breakfast we came back to the room after sigiriya climb very late but still the host sanjiv and madhu were very kind enough to provide breakfast and allow us late checkout, It was very kind of them. We really enjoyed their company and the endless conversation during dinner. A super good place to stay.

Wonderful experience at this very cozy and family-oriented guest house. The brand-new wooden room is incredibly comfortable. You quickly feel at ease in the environment, and the owners are truly delightful. I used their service to get to Sigiriya and explore the temple and main attractions. The dinner, which needs to be requested in advance, was excellent, and the breakfast was generous. It's also possible to arrange a tuk-tuk pick-up from the bus station. One of the best guest houses, even with the tropical rain. It felt like home.

Roe is a very polite guy who welcomed me in his house. The breakfast was huge and amazing. He gave good recommendations on how to reach all sightseeing points and even drove me to the bus station. 15 minute foot walk to the royal cave temple.

The place was beautiful and just what we were looking for outside the city areas. Great place to see and learn SriLankan culture and village life. The hosts were amazing. They served us breakfast and dinner everyday and everything was made from their own produce.

We had an amazing stay at this accommodation! The room was spotless, offering a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The dinner served was absolutely delicious, with flavors that really stood out. What made the experience even better was the host—truly one of the kindest and most helpful people I've encountered. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. The location is perfect, directly opposite the exit of the Dambulla Caves, making it super convenient for sightseeing. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

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.
