One of the best stays of our 2 month trip in Sri Lanka! Best value for money. The room was spacious and clean, great shower with hot water, and breakfast could be enjoyed on the little veranda every morning. The bed was sooooo comfortable!! Location is a bit out of town which for us was ideal, since we enjoy going on walks and exploring our surroundings. The hosts were incredibly nice and attentive, and helped us to rent a scooter, and took us in and out of town when we needed. Sigiriya was just a short ~30min scooter ride away, Dambulla cave temple is just around the corner. For us this was the perfect end to our trip in Sri Lanka, thank you!!

I had a wonderful stay at this B&B! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful from the very beginning, making me feel right at home. The place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and very comfortable. Plus, the location couldn’t be better – just a short walk from the city center, perfect for exploring everything without needing transportation. Highly recommended!

The room was large, clean, and comfortable. It had strong water pressure with hot water, and great air-con. It says ‘Eric~South Korea’ I guess because I’m here now. I’m from California and I’ve traveled 126 countries. I was very sick when I arrived at the hotel. I slept long time. When I woke up, I came out and the first thing they did was offer to bring breakfast at 11:30am on several plates. That never happened to me in Cal., any other state in my country, and no other time in these other countries, except this place. When was the last time you were offered the complimentary breakfast at 11:30am?!

This is approximately a three-star hotel, but it offers service comparable to a five-star standard. The hotel is very close to the Cave Temple and can be easily reached on foot. Although it's located less than 3 kilometers from the city center and there aren’t many restaurants nearby, there are plenty of small supermarkets and shops for daily necessities. A tuk-tuk ride to the city center costs around 500 Sri Lankan Rupees, so the location isn’t really an issue. The hotel room and bathroom are both very clean, with only minor hygiene issues that are acceptable. The only drawback is that the air conditioner is a bit noisy, but since we were quite tired from traveling, it didn’t affect our sleep. Additionally, the hot water in the shower is not very stable—most of the time it’s cold. However, given Sri Lanka’s warm climate, a cold shower is actually quite refreshing, so this wasn’t a major concern for us.

Our stay at JM Resort was absolutely delightful! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the gracious family who runs this charming homestay. Their kindness and hospitality truly made our experience unforgettable. The accommodations were comfortable and clean, providing a cozy retreat after our adventures exploring the area. What truly stood out, however, was the incredible food prepared by the family. Each meal was a feast of authentic Sri Lankan flavors, showcasing the culinary expertise and love put into every dish. Beyond the comfortable rooms and delicious meals, what made our stay exceptional was the personal touch from our hosts. They went above and beyond to ensure we felt at home, offering their valuable support with a personal problem I had when my money and passport were stolen on the bus. Their genuine care and warmth was highly appreciated as they instantly made us feel like part of their family! Cannot recommend enough!

    We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.

    Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. We stayed there for 4 Nights and could cover the heritage sites easily. Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.

    I loved everything they have amazing vibe, nothing was to much trouble . All staff kind and helpful. Dambulla is quiet but has local shops, cafes Pizza Hut, great small restaurant a few miles from Evergreen serving very good food. It's run by the people who run Evergreen. So recommended by me.. Anything you want to do or go and see will be arranged for you Tuk Tuk guy is a staff member . If you need car/driver it will be arranged.

    This is a really nice place. The location is amazing if you want to visit Sigirya, Pollonaruwa and the cave temple in Dambulla. The place is very serene and relaxing, my room was spacious, very clean and quiet. The homemade food is the best food I had in Sri Lanka, you HAVE to get dinner here. The family is really polite and helpful. They picked me up from the airport and drove me everywhere with their tukuk while I was there. The rates for the trips are okay, you will probably not find much better prices on Pickme.
