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!!

Clean, spacious room, everything is new and well-functioning. Hot water in the shower is great, bed is very big and comfortable. It’s also very quiet and has beautiful views from the balcony. The staff also were very friendly, helped us organise a tuktuk to Sigiriya and laundry. We very much enjoyed our stay

I was there for 3 nights, it was thoroughly impressed! The property beautifully designed, and thoughtfully equipped with everything a guest could need. The rooms are spotless, stylish, and very comfortable—clearly a lot of care has gone into every detail. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming with king coconut, going above and beyond to ensure I had a pleasant stay. Though the guest house is new, everything ran smoothly and professionally. Every dish was full of flavor and clearly made with care with sri lankan spices & Herbs The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was inviting, and the taste—simply amazing. Every breakfast had organic juice, A great spot for anyone who loves good food. Highly recommended The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, and the location is convenient for exploring the surrounding area. There are spices plantation Whether you're staying for leisure, this place is a fantastic choice This place offers a perfect blend of beauty, comfort, and memorable experiences. Whether you're going solo, with friends, or family, there's something here for everyone. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore, relax, and enjoy something truly special I can already tell this guest house is going to build a great reputation. Highly recommended—I look forward to coming back! Thank you.

This place was such a pleasant surprise! They opened recently, so everything is brand new and perfect, but what really stands out is how much the owners clearly love what they do. You can immediately feel it in the cleanliness, the kindness, and even the care they put into the decorations. The bathrooms are spacious and spotless, the beds are very comfortable, and everything feels welcoming. Truly recommended!

This Hotel started two month ago, so everything was very new and very clean. I think it was the most clean hotel I had before in Sri Lanka. The family is so lovely. They are very friendly and help you with everything you need. I felt so comfortable and welcomed :). Also they made me the best breakfast and dinner. On my last day they did a small cooking class for me because I was so interested in making Curry. That was great and I felt so grateful. They also have a tuk tuk and bring you to every place you wanna go. I’m so glad that I found this Hotel and & would definitely recommend it!

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.

We booked Vishudda room with private pool . The room was large and looked as in picture. The bed was comfortable. The Aircon worked well. Bawantha , the manager , was helpful. The location is around 2 kms from Dambulla Cave temple but in the interior countryside. The hotel is surrounded by thick vegetation. The food at the restaurant was ok. The private pool is good when clean. It's a good stay if u can put with bit of maintenence issues.
