Great place, very well located. Close to the center (5 minutes walking) but in a quiet location, surrounded by rice fields. Awesome and super friendly staff, they help you with anything you could wish for.

Staying at the Green Jungle was the best start we could have had in our trip in Sri Lanka. The accomdation is great, very clean, well located, but the most special part is the support and care of the host family!! They gave us great recommendations, helped us to choose the best tours and showed us their favourite sunset spot, which was fantastic. We highly recommend the Green Jungle!

The place was really nice and clean. The bed was one of the most comfortable ones on our whole trip. The place is a little outside of the city but we enjoyed the quiet and relaxed atmosphere and we could walk to the cave temple. But what made the stay special were our lovely hosts! They made sure we were always comfortable, helped us arranging a safari and our next stay. We even spent one evening together on the balcony talking for hours. It was great talking to locals and getting a chance to ask all of our questions that came up during our time in Sri Lanka. Thank you very much!

Every day was a perfect day with Nimal and Achala running this home stay. It all began with a hearty breakfast each day - more than I could eat. Nimal would help me with outings to the surrounding scenic sites providing transport at a very reasonable rate. Nimal took me to places for dinner and to the bus for free.

The owner arranged for me to get a tuk-tuk to the tourist attractions, which was very helpful since it was difficult to arrange a tuk-tuk by pickme. Furthermore, on the day I left the inn, he gave me a ride to the bus stop.

Pradeep and his family who runs the hotel are very genuine and friendly persons who do their best to make sure your stay with them are great. When we firs came Pradeep took us with him to watch the sunset from one of the fields nearby. He showed us around their farm and told us about the different trees and vegetables they grow. Breakfast and dinner are Sri lankan, very tasty and well prepared. Overall it's a place with a very family friendly atmosphere and for us it was a great place to start our Sri lankan adventure.

Really cosy. Felt welcomed like a family member. Helped me plan my two days stay, helped me get a driver who showed me around to the lake on the way to Sigiriya. Made home cooked breakfast and dinner which was delicious. Also helped me get a buss the next day to Kandy very fast. Helped with early check in. Super clean and the room had everything. You could see the monkeys from the bathroom window. Best AC I've ever had.

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.
