My stay at Dambula Kings Inn was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the incredible warmth and kindness of the owners, who treated us like family from the moment we arrived. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience of genuine Sri Lankan hospitality that leaves a lasting imprint on your heart. The owners went above and beyond at every turn. Whether it was assisting with money exchange, arranging a pickup at any hour, or offering 24/7 support during our travels, their help was unwavering. No request was too big or small, and their readiness to solve any challenge made our trip seamless and stress-free. What truly set this stay apart was the personal connection they fostered. The owners introduced us to their own family, sharing stories and laughter as if we were old friends. They even organized a fantastic jeep safari at a budget-friendly rate and personally drove us to Sigiriya in their tuk-tuk, adding a personal touch to these adventures. But the highlight was being included in their family celebrations. During the Sri Lankan New Year, they welcomed us into their home for a vibrant, heartfelt celebration filled with traditional food, music, and joy. Beyond that, they frequently invited us for dinners and breakfast, making us feel like cherished relatives rather than guests. Dambula Kings Inn isn’t just about a comfortable stay—it’s about the people who make it unforgettable. The owners’ generosity, love, and dedication to their guests are unparalleled. If you’re planning a trip to Dambulla, book here without hesitation. You’ll leave with not just memories of Sri Lanka’s beauty, but also of a family who made you feel at home. Thank you, Dambula Kings Inn, for your boundless hospitality. We’ll carry your kindness with us always. ❤️❤️

A small number of beautiful lodges in beautiful green surroundings. Everything fits together perfectly and is of good quality. Very friendly and helpful owner and staff. The food is more expensive than outside but it is simply fantastic. We had one of the best vegetarian curry selection cooked after our preferences. The breakfast is also really good.

We had a fantastic stay at Menara Green Inn in Dambulla! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the Cave Temple and Golden Temple. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He suggested great places to eat and their homemade breakfast was absolutely delicious! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained.

It was a perfect stay for three days :) They organized a taxi from the airport to their beautiful homestay. The location in the green jungle is a great starting point for many attractions in the area. If you want to do tours, hikes, or visit temples, you’ll get help and transportation from the host. You will be served a nice breakfast on your terrace, and dinner is also available if you wish. All in all, it was an easy and pleasant stay.

Everything was perfect. The family is very nice. They are always trying to feel you like home. I could arrange with my host 3 tours to places I wanted to see, so it was very convinient for me. The room is comfortable, the breakfast is exceptional, and also they prepared a typical Sri Lanka's meal for me and for the other 4 guests for free. He offered to pick me up with no extra charge at the bus station, but as I was moving by car, it was not necessary. He helped me to take the bus to Kandy, using his tuk-tuk taking me to the bus stop and also helping me to take the correct bus, and all for free too. I strongly recommend this place to everybody
