This the best stay which you can choose in Dambulla city! The hotel is located in a walk distance from the main road between the rice fields. You will have peace and nature around you. The rooms are great and clean with all necessarcy equipment (hair dryer, hot water, towels etc.). The staff is excelent and really helpful - they will organize everything you need. It’s worth to mention about their restaurant- big portions, delicious food and great prices. If you planning to visit Sigirya/Polonnaruwa - again ask the host. They know the really nice guy with tuk tuk who transport you, show you hidden spots and tell a lot about the neighborhod. As always in a really good price.

If you looking for a peaceful little paradise place to rest between the busy visits of cave temple, golden temple or sigyria’s lyon rock, this is your place. We can only repeat the other references. The hosts are super friendly and welcoming, the rooms were clean, the food delicious and decent. It’s no problem that it’s not located in the center as the host brings you to all the places with his little car to the best visit times. Made our Dambulla stay a very pleasant experience. All the best to you Ajit and your family and many thanks for the great service and time.

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.
