Everything was great, very clean large room with good furniture, hot water in the bathroom, everything is new and modern, thought out to the smallest detail, stylish and there are interesting design solutions. The staff and host are extremely friendly and helpful, they help if needed. In addition, I really liked the location - very close to the main street, but very quiet and peaceful. Around is nature and you can see birds and mongooses. In addition, the breakfast was great, you can also order dinner if you wish.

I run my own travel business where we pride ourselves about going beyond the call of duty. Well I can safely say, Simoya Nature Park could teach me a thing or two! They were wonderful! It was without doubt the best part of my stay in Sri Lanka I stayed in 7 hotels in all - this place was by far the best It was a perfect balance of personable and luxurious

Ajith was the most incredible host. Very attentive and helpful. I was slightly unwell when I got to the property and the whole family made me feel very safe. The property is beautiful and very easy to get to the cricket stadium and dambulla caves.

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!

Nihal, the owner, was exceptionally nice. He picked me up from the busstand and dropped me off there after my stay. He organised everything for me, one day he showed me around Sigiriya in his Tuktuk, another day he arranged a safari to Minneriya national park at a good price. He always offered me tea or coffee, biscuits, vegetable soup, bananas, etc. That was so lovely. When I asked for a Sri Lanka breakfast, I got the most fantastic breakfast the next day. He was really concerned about my well-being and I felt like a family member. The location is close to the city centre where you find restaurants, shops, etc. It was very quiet at night and you can sleep well.

We had an amazing stay in Dambulla! The first thing was the welcoming hospitality from Pradeep and his family. They made sure we were enjoying, he gave us many recommendations and prepared amazing food! (Two of us are vegan and he adapted everything for us). Second one, the beautiful and peaceful garden. The location is close to town, but for who is looking for tranquility, family Nest is the right place. Room has enough space. Everything was clean. Thank you for making our days much better! We hope to came back!

A truly authentic experience! Pradeep was a fabulous host who truly enhanced our trip. He showed us around his farm, shared wonderful meals with us and was attentive to our every need. On top of that, he's a great storyteller and always made us laugh!

    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 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.
