One of the best stays of our 2 month trip in Sri Lanka! Best value for money. The room was spacious and clean, great shower with hot water, and breakfast could be enjoyed on the little veranda every morning. The bed was sooooo comfortable!! Location is a bit out of town which for us was ideal, since we enjoy going on walks and exploring our surroundings. The hosts were incredibly nice and attentive, and helped us to rent a scooter, and took us in and out of town when we needed. Sigiriya was just a short ~30min scooter ride away, Dambulla cave temple is just around the corner. For us this was the perfect end to our trip in Sri Lanka, thank you!!

A Perfect Getaway at Jetwing Lake! Our stay at Jetwing Lake was truly exceptional and exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and impeccable service. Breakfast: The breakfast spread was nothing short of spectacular, offering a delightful mix of local and international cuisine. The variety was impressive, from freshly baked pastries to traditional Sri Lankan dishes, all beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Pool: The infinity pool was a highlight of our stay, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. It was immaculately maintained and provided a serene environment to relax and unwind. Whether it was an early morning dip or a refreshing swim under the evening sky, the experience was magical. Dinner: The dining experience was another standout feature. Each evening, we enjoyed gourmet meals crafted with the freshest ingredients. The staff was attentive and happy to accommodate special requests, making each meal memorable. The ambiance of the restaurant, paired with the exquisite flavors, was truly unforgettable. Overall, Jetwing Lake is a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty. We highly recommend it for anyone looking for a tranquil and indulgent retreat. We can’t wait to return!

I had a wonderful stay at this B&B! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful from the very beginning, making me feel right at home. The place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and very comfortable. Plus, the location couldn’t be better – just a short walk from the city center, perfect for exploring everything without needing transportation. Highly recommended!

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 had a great stay with Asanka and his family. First of all the property is perfectly equipped & very clean and tidy. You can tell everything has been done with attention to detail and a high standard. It is also separated enough from the main house to have privacy. What we appreciated the most was the generous & warmhearted hosting - it was exceptional, and we really enjoyed getting to know more of the local culture this way. The place is a short 10-minute walk from the busier main street, so you get to enjoy some extra piece and quiet with deliciously cooked breakfast. The host gave us excellent recommendations and helped us visit nearby attractions. We hope to come again!

Quiet and convenient location. The food prepared by Nadeeka was amazing authentic Sri Lankan food using ocal ingredients. All requests were satisfied. Friendly family members and a surprise cultural performance by Nadeeka and Yatawatha's daughters Nishadi and Vishni! One of the most enjoyable homestay experiences I have had.

We planned to stay one night, but ended up staying three night, because we liked the place so much! The family who runs this place is super lovely, friendly, extremely welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is delicious and you definitely won't be hungry afterwards. :) The family also helped us renting a scooter. To have a scooter is quite useful, because the accomodation is a bit outside of the center. However, the dambulla cave temple is in walking distance. The room was clean, beds are very comfortable and the terrace is nice for sitting outside in the morning or evening and enjoying a coffee or a beer. We definitely recommend this place and hopefully come back one day!

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.

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.

Eden grand boasts huge rooms, friendly family run business, great breakfast. A new hotel only opened in the past year and has great potential. Owner was friendly and accommodating, also provided transport to our next location. It is a little bit of a walk outside the main area in Dambulla but perfect for a short stay. Would recommend better wifi and some lighting along the walk up to the hotel if possible but otherwise we enjoyed our stay!

Well situated hotel (just off of Dambulla main street) with good access to transport, and plenty of close by restaurants. Really lovely room (exactly as the photos). Breakfast was amazing, plenty of really good food (paalappam, dosa, omelette, pancakes, toast, fruits). The owner's husband is a taxi driver so can take you to nearby Sigiriya/Pidurangala.
