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.

Dear Madhu and Sanjee, If I had to teach hospitality, you would definitely be the example! No words, how wonderful we felt our staying. The welcoming, the room, the surronding jungle garden with monkeys, the breakfast you made for us….the program you arranged and guided….( Sigiriya, Pidurangala, local market, roze quarts hills, cave temple)..We enjoyed so much! Thanks for sharing these experience with us!

This stay was great, surrounded by lush nature and has very clean spacious rooms! WiFi is great for working remotely. We stayed there for 2 nights and couldn't be happier, with the service provided by the hosts, we had our meals here all home made (breakfast included and lunch and dinner with some extra costs). It's a family owned business and we truly felt like a part of their family while staying there. They arranged for us sunrise hike and a safari all with ok pricing. Highly recommend to stay here is you have Sigiriya in your itinerary.

This place is right in nature and full of creativity! The owner has built everything by himself and you feel the care and love that they have put into this place. Food is great and the room is clean and big. I also forget my trouser there and the owner made sure that i received it at my next destination. How amazing & helpful. It's a lovely place with great value for money. Do visit! Thanks from Jojo (Germany) & Sach (India). 🌸❤️🌲🤠

A kind and hospitable family that went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and happy. They could organise everything for you if you so wish. The home was kept spotless clean. The breakfast was delicious and in abundance. Dambulla itself is really nice. It provides a glimpse of real Sri Lanka and we appreciated the conversations we had with the hosts. The cave temple is near by and main tourist attractions such as Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa are a must. We saw lots of elephants at the safari, up close, and enjoyed the wonderful views of Pidurangula rock. Thank you!

Some of the kindest hosts we've ever stayed with! Anu and her family do everything they can to make your stay comfortable. Anu's mother is an amazing cook and the breakfast (which is included) is traditional Sri Lankan and super delicious and there's almost too much of it, you will never leave hungry! The same goes for the dinner which is also strongly recommended. The terrace is super nice, with a view of the garden where monkeys and other animals sometimes come to visit. The location is good with just a short walk to the cave temples, the city center or the bus terminal. The room was basic but spacious and clean, and the bed had a mosquito net. We will definitely come back if we're in Dambulla again someday and will recommend everyone to stay here!

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.
