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!

Amazing little gem of a place. We had 2 rooms and they were very comfortable. The people were incredibly kind. They did everything they could to make our stay the best. You only had to ask and they would help. They know all about the local attractions so don’t hesitate to ask. Breakfast and dinner was just perfect for us. Super tasty local food. Really enjoyed staying here and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere quiet but convenient.

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.
