"The hotel I had booked had to be cancelled suddenly due to an air conditioner malfunction, so I booked the nearest hotel that looked nice. Despite the reservation being made on the day, the staff were very kind. The hotel was located in an alley off the main street, so it was a little hard to find, but the staff came to pick me up on the main street.
The staff had lovely smiles.
The room was clean and spacious, with great water pressure, hot water, and drainage.
The only amenity provided was soap.
The breakfast was also delicious.
It was close to the Dambulla Cave Temple, and a short walk away there was a supermarket that sold alcohol.
The location was also good.
It was a small but nice hotel."
"Everything about the stay here was perfect from start to finish. The hospitality of the staff at this resort is unmatched. They will go out of their way to make sure you have an enjoyable and comfortable stay"

"Recommended, the location is very good, opposite the Lion Rock, and there are many food and drink options next to the hotel. The lobby decoration is very distinctive, and the room is not big but comfortable and clean. There are not many types of breakfast, but it is a pleasure to sit in the beautiful lobby to eat. And the price matches!"
"We got very nice experience when staying here 1 night. The room was perfect for our family of 3. We just had to pay for the 3rd person's breakfast.
The Logde located nearby the Lion rock and village, easy to find and go to the rock or the Gambulla city within 10min.
The host Isuru was very welcoming from the start and made sure that we had all that we needed. ( hot water, drinking water, towels, AC, fan). We also really appreciated Mr Alain, a french gentleman resident in the sameplace! The room also had all the necessary for us to not be bitten by insects (scents and more). There was also a room for the driver at a very resonnable price. However we found the wifi a little weak, but else everything was good.
In the surroundings it is peaceful, and we woke up to nice little sound of the nature and a well prepared typical srilankan breakfast and fruits! Delicious!"

"Отель один из лучших в этих краях)
Симпатичная территория с бассейном, вкусная еда очень. Единственное, не понравилось, что в цены в меню не включены налоги, было неприятно получить счет на 30% дороже.
Но в целом все понравилось, неплохие завтраки, чистненько и приятно."
"The hotel has more than 20 unique tent villas. The restaurant has Chinese food that can be ordered. It is said that it is made by Sri Lankan chefs and tastes good. The breakfast is a Western breakfast buffet with good variety and remarkable taste.
The hotel is very close to Lion Rock, and it takes about 10 minutes to get there. The mattresses and pillows in the guest rooms are all latex, which is quite comfortable to sleep on.
The hotel staff are very friendly and will take the initiative to help us with our luggage when checking in and checking out. Overall, the experience is not bad!"

Outstanding
GGuest UserThe very warm and thoughtful service and rich breakfast will make you unbelievable that this is a great experience provided by a homestay! The wooden house in the tropical jungle is surrounded by the sound of birds and you can enjoy nature to your heart's content. The swings and hammocks at the door allow people to play as soon as possible. The sign at the door is not very obvious. There are several restaurants around, but I didn't find any restaurants that I was interested in.
PPatricia FrancescaWe stayed one night here. Very friendly and nice staff. Mr. Bandara and his team welcomed us warmly. A lovely and quiet place and beautiful garden. We were served with very good breakfast, bread, butter , jam, sausages, omelette, coffee or tea, fruits, juice and 2 local dishes ( sambol and Dal curry with rice). We would like to say thank you. There is coffee , tea and kettle in the room and a bottle of water too.
GGuest UserA quiet hotel with mango garden. The food is different, there is delicious and quite acute, more careful. Spa don't take, massage can't do at all. At night monkeys ran on the roof, by the way, thundered there something. The elephants didn't see. And so all super
GGuillaumeSpent one night with spouse and kids, a simple place we found convenient and relaxing. Breakfast and dinner (included in the already modest price) were both a positive surprise (quantity and quality) especially when compared to the neighbouring restaurants (disappointing and expensive).
The hotel is owned by nice and kind folks.
SShioriAs the name suggests, it is a retreat in the jungle. There are no windows, and the trees are the natural windows. You can meet squirrels and monkeys, and you are surrounded by the sounds of many birds and insects in the morning and at night. The hotel offers a variety of activities, which can be booked.
The beginning of April, when we stayed, was firefly season, and when it rained in the evening, more than a dozen fireflies surrounded our mosquito net.
NNatalia ProninaIt was good time we spent at the hotel, beautiful big room with view on the pool. The owner is very kind and helped us, he drove and dropped off us at the bus station when we left the hotel. At the hotel there are bicycles which possible to use for the guests and we had a good trip to Dambulla Golden Temple on them. The hotel is near bus station and big fruit market. All was perfect!
GGuest UserGreat place to stay if you want to explore the lions rock and the area around. Pidurangala rock is only 15min away by tuk tuk, the lions rock can be done by walk (~20min walk to entrance). But the best experience was the kindness of the hosts. The helped us in every way (explaining routes, advices on activities, organizing tuk tuk, etc.). The food was amazing and we had a lot of interesting conversations with the friendly stuff. Special thanks to Daushna, Larush & Nimal for making our stay remarkable.
GGuest UserThis hotel has good facilities, like good pool bar, restaurant with a tropical resort feeling.
We have room with 2 king beds and it is good enough width for 2 adults and 2 kids. and also keeping sanitary.
Staff gave the good hospitality and providing good services in restaurant.
Just one concerning is VISA card cannot work well in Dambulla area.
GGuest UserIt is difficult to evaluate because there is nothing to compare. The hotel clearly did not meet expectations, but the room and bed linen were clean, the air conditioning and wifi worked stable. This morning was also pleasantly delighted.
The hotel area is small but there is a parking, swing, a hammock and a swimming pool.
Thank you !
GGuest UserМестоположение не соответствует действительности. Имейте ввиду что вокруг отеля нет абсолютно ничего и пешком не дойти, в меню только вегетарианская еда, на вкус не очень, отель чистый и красивый, вид хороший и это очень подкупает, но на утро мы столкнулись с большой неприятностью в то время когда мы ушли на завтрак ровно на 30 минут при том что в одном домике оставался спящий человек мы расслабились и оставили впервые деньги в номере, как итог 700 баксов украли из 2 х домиков( в одном 300 и другом 400) кроме персонала этого никто ни мог сделать так как в округе только поле да озеро, 5 часов разборок и допросов с полицией не дали никакого результата, как итог в место ради которого мы ехали мы не попали , потрачены нервы и деньги. Отдых испорчен.
