Such a lovely place! Quiet, surrounded by rice fields, and breakfast in a beautiful garden. The room was comfortable and clean. The two members of staff were so helpful and arranged transport to the sites. Food was excellent. I thoroughly recommend!

Rooms were really beautiful and clean. The host was very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect, only few steps away from bus station and in the middle between Sigirya and Dambulla, which is perfect to easily reach both of them by bus. Around property is also a lot of greenery so it has been really nice to stay there 😊

A kind and hospitable family that went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and happy. They could organise everything for you if you so wish. The home was kept spotless clean. The breakfast was delicious and in abundance. Dambulla itself is really nice. It provides a glimpse of real Sri Lanka and we appreciated the conversations we had with the hosts. The cave temple is near by and main tourist attractions such as Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa are a must. We saw lots of elephants at the safari, up close, and enjoyed the wonderful views of Pidurangula rock. Thank you!

The owner was very nice and helpfull. He gave us free lift to bus. The sleeping was very good because of total darkness and quiet outside. Delicious local style breakfest. The room was big with big bathroom, everything perfectly clean. The location is short walk from stairs to the Rock tempel and archeology side.

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.
