This the best stay which you can choose in Dambulla city! The hotel is located in a walk distance from the main road between the rice fields. You will have peace and nature around you. The rooms are great and clean with all necessarcy equipment (hair dryer, hot water, towels etc.). The staff is excelent and really helpful - they will organize everything you need. It’s worth to mention about their restaurant- big portions, delicious food and great prices. If you planning to visit Sigirya/Polonnaruwa - again ask the host. They know the really nice guy with tuk tuk who transport you, show you hidden spots and tell a lot about the neighborhod. As always in a really good price.

The breakfast, though simple, was simply appetizing. The accommodation is in pristine condition and the attention to detail is perfect. The accommodation is built with the guests in mind. The host family is most welcoming and ever-ready to make the guest's stay comfortable. The two children are a pleasure to converse with and they are a fountain of knowledge. The owner, Ruwan, is most helpful and prepared to take one to town or to local places of interest. Even if one wants to visit Sigiriya or any other destination in the Dambulla re3, The Green Jungle is the ideal place to stay. The Cave Temple which is near The Green Jungle, is an experience in itself, either to view6a sunrise or a sunset. The property is maintained immaculately and one can rest comfortably on the veranda or in the garden. The local buses (cheap and easy to use) stop close to the property. All in all, the family of husband and wife and two children, together with the maternal grandparents are ever-smiling and obliging. The grandmother will be prepared to cook you some lunch or dinner as required.

The place was really nice and clean. The bed was one of the most comfortable ones on our whole trip. The place is a little outside of the city but we enjoyed the quiet and relaxed atmosphere and we could walk to the cave temple. But what made the stay special were our lovely hosts! They made sure we were always comfortable, helped us arranging a safari and our next stay. We even spent one evening together on the balcony talking for hours. It was great talking to locals and getting a chance to ask all of our questions that came up during our time in Sri Lanka. Thank you very much!

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.

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.
