Amazing little gem of a place. We had 2 rooms and they were very comfortable. The people were incredibly kind. They did everything they could to make our stay the best. You only had to ask and they would help. They know all about the local attractions so don’t hesitate to ask. Breakfast and dinner was just perfect for us. Super tasty local food. Really enjoyed staying here and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere quiet but convenient.

We started our Sri Lanka trip by coming here and it was the perfect start for us. The hotel owners gave a very warm and caring welcome. They were helpful with everything including travel planning, transportation and information, even after leaving the hotel. The location of the hotel is within walking distance of the temples. The rooms were immaculate and fragrant. Everything we needed was put in the room. It was also very peaceful with a backyard view and bird sounds. In the morning they prepared a very nice local breakfast. In the evening, we had the chance to taste local dishes from their skillful hands. We did not stay in such a beautiful place in the rest of our trip. If we come to Sri Lanka again, it is clear where we will stay 😊

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.

We had a great stay at triangle! The hosts were super kind and took us around for surrounding sightseeings for a whole day. The food was absolutely delicious! The A/C stopped working and they called in an electrician to fix it instantly.

The whole experience of staying at Blue mountains view was wonderful We thoroughly enjoyed eating food cooked by Pradeeps mum out of their own or neighboring gardens. We loved touring the land and gardens . Being taken to the local river by Pradeeps brother. Our teenagers loved the thrill of this experience! We loved long conversations with Pradeep. Getting to know more about his local village and village life. I will never forget moonlight jumping !!! I would highly recommend this place.

The rooms were big, cozy and very new with all amenities. The bathroom were very clean as compared to other properties we stayed in Sri Lanka. The host was kind enough to give us ride to dambulla cave temple as well as dropped us to bus station in his tuk tuk without any charge. Definitely more worth than the charges we paid! Will recommend!

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.
