The room was spacious and comfortable, with a clean bed sheet, blanket, and a cozy bed that made for a good night’s rest. The bathroom was large with good water pressure, two mirrors, and even a small cube of soap provided. I also liked the thoughtful touches such as the wooden towel hanger and standing fan. Right outside the room, there’s a dining table overlooking the owner’s beautifully maintained garden, a perfect spot to enjoy the peaceful greenery. Dinner prepared by the owners (upon request) was delicious and felt home-cooked with care. Mr. Chaluka and his wife are genuinely kind and helpful hosts who go above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable. They also offer safari tours at reasonable prices, and for those interested in authentic Ayurveda treatments or spa sessions, Mr. Chaluka can also help arrange great options.

Less than a 5-minute drive from the city center, this hotel is nestled on a vast plain, creating a tranquil escape. Its location is convenient for Sigiriya (approximately a 30-minute drive), downtown Dambulla, and the cave temples. The room was comfortable, the amenities worked flawlessly, the garden setting was delightful, and the staff were warm and attentive. The breakfast was delicious and highly recommended! For such a reasonable price, with such a good accommodation and breakfast, and a prime location, it's truly excellent!

Clean, spacious room, everything is new and well-functioning. Hot water in the shower is great, bed is very big and comfortable. It’s also very quiet and has beautiful views from the balcony. The staff also were very friendly, helped us organise a tuktuk to Sigiriya and laundry. We very much enjoyed our stay

This accommodation is perfect. The family was lovely. From the minute we entered this home, we felt right at home. We were greeted with fresh homemade juice, which was beautiful. The host chatted to us about what to do during our stay and gave really good advice on our future travel around Sri Lanka. I would definitely recommend having dinner while staying here. All the food we had while staying at this home stay was so tasty and plentiful. The dinner was actually our favourite meal we had since arriving in sri lanka. The breakfast was also very nice and very big. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. There was a mosquito net and a fan in the room. The home stay is a bit outside of the town but the host offers to drop and collect you from the bus station. It is very close to the temple. This was one of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka.

Everything was perfect. The family is very nice. They are always trying to feel you like home. I could arrange with my host 3 tours to places I wanted to see, so it was very convinient for me. The room is comfortable, the breakfast is exceptional, and also they prepared a typical Sri Lanka's meal for me and for the other 4 guests for free. He offered to pick me up with no extra charge at the bus station, but as I was moving by car, it was not necessary. He helped me to take the bus to Kandy, using his tuk-tuk taking me to the bus stop and also helping me to take the correct bus, and all for free too. I strongly recommend this place to everybody
