Beautifully designed and serene gem of a hotel with a quiet atmosphere and professional and helpful staff. The food at the lodge restaurant alone would be enough reason to come (back) here. We had some of the best roast chicken & curry here of our whole trip! The pool offers a nice escape from the heat. Overall a highly recommended stay!

This is a very nice villa among the countryside, surrounded by beautiful landscape and peaceful sounds. The room and bathroom were very clean and the mattress super comfortable, everything was perfect to relax after long days of exploration. I loved the breakfast and the owners are very nice and welcoming.

Whatever I say would be insufficient. They are very helpful and friendly. You can arrange the tour and car you want. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the breakfast is very good. You can see a lot of squirrels from the balcony of your room and you can also watch the monkeys while having breakfast. The staff and the owner will do their best to help you.

The owner and his wife are very kind, their daughter Menara too. We enjoyed the place which was clean and pleasant. The place is very near from the temple and the caves, you can go there by feet. Try to play with the little girl Menara who has a lot of games...... she is brilliant and always wins !

Great owners, very welcoming and kind. The room was very clean, we had everthing we needed. The house has a nice terrase facing jungle trees where you can spot monkeys and birds. Breakfast was good, location is perfect, close to Dambulla center but on a calm and green street. It is the street going to the cave temple - in about 5-10 minutes you can walk to the temple. Tuck-tuck to Dambulla is about 0.7 euros.

Marion

From

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.

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.

We booked the Standard Twin Room, it is a lot of ants in the room near the window. The owner upgraded us to the Double room with private bathroom, which was large, really comfortable and well equipped. The owners were very nice and helpful, e.g. they booked us a tuk tuk in very early morning. We rent there a scooter to go to Sigiriya and the city center. The location of the house is outside of the city in a quiet neighbourhood but not far away from the city.

Nice hotel in a nice location in the nature. Keep in mind that the location on booking.com is wrong. The hotel is not close to the city centre. Check the correct location on google maps. There is nothing next to it and you will need a tuk tuk to go to the centre, but the surrounding nature is nice. The rooms are spacious and nice. We also used the swimming pool and it was enjoyable. The breakfast and dinner buffet have a lot of variety.
