Some units in the guest house have private entrance and are fitted with desk and wardrobe. A balcony with mountain view, a satellite flat-screen TV and air conditioning are offered in some units. At the guest house, units are fitted with a private bathroom. We stayed 2 nights on this beautiful location with beautiful people. The very nice room was situated in a little house with a nice terrace outside. So clean and looked as a totally new place. The service was brilliant. We got all the help we needed. For example for getting a transfer to the pidurangala ( at 5 0’clock in the morning) and a very good taxi driver who took us to our next location (very long drive/ the taxi driver gave us a roadtrip with visits to special places). Tree trails thank you so much for taking care of us! We loved our stay with you.

At the guest house, the units are fitted with bed linen and towels.

À la carte and Full English/Irish breakfast options with pancakes, fruits and juice are available. The traditional restaurant at the guest house serves Asian cuisine, and is open for dinner and lunch. Villa Hanguk is an ideal spot if you plan to explore the Dambulla area. The owner is incredibly helpful, offering assistance with scooter or tuk-tuk rentals and organizing local trips. The villa is nestled just 400 meters from the main city street, surrounded by lush paddy fields. The beautifully maintained garden is filled with vibrant plants and flowers, offering plenty of cozy spots to relax—whether in a hammock, at a dining area, or playing table games. Being in the middle of nature, you can expect the delightful sounds of wildlife, including peacocks. It truly adds to the charm of the place. One of the highlights of our stay was the Sri Lankan food. The meals were not only delicious but also generously portioned. I highly recommend skipping outside restaurants and instead asking the staff to prepare dinner for you—you won’t be disappointed!

Offering a garden and garden view, Simoya Nature Park is set in Dambulla, 19 km from Sigiriya Rock and 22 km from Pidurangala Rock. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the guest house free of charge. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk and full-day security for guests. The property was beautiful and the room was spacious, modern and well designed. But the real highlight was the husband and wife team, Madhu and Sanjee. They went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable. I felt so well taken care of—like coming home to family.

People working here are very welcoming and friendly. Room was spacious and clean, AC worked good. The territory is beautiful with pond and greenery. Breakfast is also tasty and beautifully served.

At the guest house, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels. We requested to check in before almost 6 hours. Without being irritated Mahinda dada welcomed us at midnight (3:30am)!! He did not even charged extra money for early check–in. The breakfast & dinner we got at night was beyond expectation. Foods were delicious and representing the authentic Sri Lankan taste. The environment was lovely & the location was very close from Lion rock. We are greateful to Mahinda dada and his family for the amazing hospitality... ❤️
