The owner picked us up at the bus stop and welcomed us with a fresh drink. We were happy to stay at this villa. The room has everything you need, the ac, the fan and it was very clean. It is located a bit far from the center but we liked it even more, because it was super calm. The owner also dropped us at the temple entrance and picked us up from there on his tuktuk all at the price of pick me app. Then the other day he drove us to sigiriya and even packed us a breakfast to go (tip: put it in your backpack), showed us other places on the way back and then helped us arrange a jeep trip to the national park with the elephants. The breakfast and dinner we had there were delicious. The staff is extremely polite and friendly!

I had a wonderful time at this lovely homestay. I was picked up from the bus station and the rest of the days also taken everywhere for a small price with the owner's tuktuk. A very nice man who helps you with everything. He thinks along with you and goes out with you or waits for you. His wife and daughters are also very nice and the food is delicious and can be adjusted to your dietary requirements. I highly recommend this place, especially for women traveling alone!

I had such a wonderful time here. The hosts Upul and Wathsala are just so kind and warm. Rooms are clean and spacious, the breakfast/dinner was typical Sri Lankan, very tasty! They made me feel like part of their family.😊 It is peaceful and out of the way from Dambulla so expect either a 25 min walk from the centre or a tuktuk. 5 min walk from the Temple. Upul kindly showed me a rock nearby (hence the name of the place) and saw one of the most beautiful sunsets. Bit of a steep climb and I probably shouldn't have done it in flipflops lol but it was so worth it.

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

We have only good memories from our stay at Roy's place. The room is modern, clean and had very good big bed. Big bathroom with hot water, hair dryer, cattle, fan, so in the room was very comfortable. The breakfast is serving at a terrace and it was very delicious - Srilankian, but not very spicy (as we asked) and I strongly recommend home made dinner from this family - I'm already miss it :) Right in front of home there is a fantastic rock, where you can observe the city and see sunset. Roy were also very nice and helping, and took us to the bus station.

WOW!!! What an amazing experience staying at Pradeep's place. It was the perfect family place, and our favourite of the whole trip. Pradeep is an amazing young man motivated by sharing the culture of his village and family. He is fantastic with kids and always ready to go the extra mile to make every one happy. The guest house is in the middle of beautiful nature, rice field, banana trees etc. The meals are prepared by his mom and delicious. A real test for authentic Sri Lanka cuisine. We had a family room which was great and spacious with very confortable beds. Location is also great to Dambulla Cave and Sigiriya and other sights around. But what we enjoyed the most is the time spent together chatting and learning about Pradeep, his family and village, and the laughs. My son just wants to go back to Sri Lanka to go back to Pradeep's place:) Big thanks Pradeep to you and your family. Wishing you all the best and till next 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 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.
