Sun Shine Villa was a great spot for us to stay in Sigiriya. Dinesh and his family are very accommodating, and help make your stay memorable. Great location, couple minutes tuk tuk to town and main attractions.

Amazing location in the middle of the forest. The sounds of nature are just out of this world and you can spot all kinds of animals from your bungalow. Can be intimidating for a person traveling alone but also very very fascinating. Loved the breakfast and the kindness of all staff members. I miss the peace already!

My wife and I have always prefer to stay in an urban and nature environment. Firstly, I would say that the owners Mr. Mahesh and his spouse Mdm. Chandi has delivered the true Sri Lankan hospitality, they provided personalised services and always suggest the best on what activity we can do around Sigiriya. They even prepared fantastic meals for us based on our taste buds. They have never been pushy and that's the best 👌. Besides that, we have experienced a bombastic self vegetation plantation around the hidden lake cottages, If you are lucky 😃 actually every day is a lucky day, you will hear peacocks, cows, elephants and migration of various bird with their chippig sound and many other living creatures. It's like only ONE Call away and they are there to assist, In fact, Mr Mahesh shuttled us to the main road in order for us to take the bus. Little did we know that travelling by bus was satisfying and this was suggested by the beautiful property owners. Everything was so 👉 on point whereby on our last day, we did feel like we were gonna miss this home. Myself and my wife will definitely introduce this soothing and calm cottage to all our family, friends and those who need suggestions 😊. To the owners Mr&Mrs Mahesh - We wish the best for you and your family. Hope to see more places like this 🙏 obaṭa stutiyi saha obagē karuṇāva api agaya karamu 🫂

In our opinion, it was the best accommodation we were able to stay at in Sri Lanka. A great location, surrounded by nature and a tranquility that allows one to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Additionally, clean rooms and a natural wooden decor – exactly what we love. Excellent food! The planned one night was extended, and for that, the generous and sweet family is responsible. They are extremely hospitable and always smiling. Thank you very much for the wonderful time; we will come back! Marlon and Laura

Excellent staying experience!! The accomodation is quiet, close to the main bus station. The host is helpful and asked his friends to take us to another bus station on the main street twice. The hostess prepare the woderful food.The breakfast is plentiful and delicious. We couldn't finish them and didn't want to waste food. The host helped us to take them away.:) To hosts: Thank you very much and hope to have the opportunity to come back to Dambulla!!! PS, the host a bit looks like Jason Momoa :)

Two seperate ensuite bedrooms separate from their house on a quiet street. Our host was extremely hospitable and was beyond helpful. It’s a street behind a busy street so very little noise. Super cold ac, very clean rooms. Please stay to support this lovely family.

Great location and facilities, really friendly host, cute garden, yummy Sri Lankan breakfast included, room with A/C and mosquito net, quiet surrounding (only 2 rooms). I highly recommend this place. Thanks also to Manju, friend of the family, that took me everywhere in tuk tuk for a fair price :)

The property is 5-6 min walk from Cargill supermarket and 8-10 min from the city center. Perfect for a quiet stay. The premises are maintained clean. Host is very helpful, he can get you a tuk-tuk to anywhere, arrange safari or Sigiria trips or any other activities.

Great place to stay. Friendly owner, who takes care of all his guests, ensuring they enjoy the stay in his guest house and Sri Lanka. And helping to plan the visit for those who haven't yet specified their plans Place is close to the city centre but in quiet area with no traffic noise. Restaurant with delicious food available (best roti I have ever eat). Tuk tuk and taxi service available. I would recommend it for everyone who plans to visit Dambulla.
