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

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.

The location, the host, Pradeep and his team were amazing. Pradeep is such a kind, gentle person who puts his heart and soul into ensuring his guests are happy. The food cooked by his mother was delicious -the communal meals were so tasty. Pradeep organised trips to Sigiriya and a game safari where we saw lots of elephants. Nothing was ever too much for Pradeep. On the 5 acre plot where the accommodation is located Pradeep farms using permaculture producing 100% organic rice, mangoes, cinnamon, vanilla, tomatoes, chilli, bananas, jackfruit, bread fruit and so much more. One of the highlights of our stay was a guided tour around the farm when Pradeep explained about the farming process and identifying all the plants. The beds were amazingly comfortable which made for a fantastic home stay. I would highly recommend Blue Mountains View.

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.
