The location is not correctly placed in Google Maps. It's the next house instead.

Lovely sweet couple, great breakfast, they prepared the left-overs for takeaway. Arranged a great tuktuk driver (Mr. Bandara) to Awukana Buddha who showed us additional things like wild animals and fruits and rural and beautiful spots. He even let us drive his Tuk-tuk for a little. :). They made us feel very welcome at their home telling us about their family and Sri Lankan life. The guesthouse is very close to the main road/center but very quite and calm. They also let us check-in early and late check-out after the tour (letting us the room longer for refreshing us before continuing our journey). Thank you very much and thank you Mr. Bandara!

Little bit hard to communicate in English but this wasn't a problem. Would have been easier to find if there was a sign on the gate.

Beautiful house located a short walk from the main street. Quiet room, excellent air conditioning and excellent wifi. Good breakfast. Nice hosts.

I had a great stay, the owners are soo welcoming and nice and prepared an amazing breakfast. The room was exactly like shown in the pictures, only disadvantage is that there is nearly no daylight in the room. But the lovely terrace makes up for it. :)

All was perfect

Clean and well kept, very comfortable bed, AC and fan:) plus a nice hot shower! The hosts were absolutely amazing! They gave us the best breakfast and always willing to help renting scooters, Tuk tuk or finding your way around.

Nothing really! The only thing I could think of that could possibly have made an improvement would be to have a mini fridge in the room - but that is hardly an essential. In every other way, we loved this place!

Probably the best homestay we had in Sri Lanka. It's not like staying in an international hotel, but more like staying with the parents of a good friend. The hosts are a really lovely and very friendly couple - so sweet and welcoming. On arrival they gave us tea whilst we checked in, and if we were hanging around the homestay (between visits to local sights), they would often come to offer a little something - tea, coffee etc. One time, we sat outside with a beer and the host brought us a plate of freshly roasted peanuts. For our day trips to Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa they prepared sandwiches and a few bananas. Nothing was too much trouble - they were wonderful hosts! Breakfast was delicious and always huge - sets you up for the day exploring the cultural triangle! Sri Lankan food, though - not western. We loved it, though. On our last day the lady made string hoppers, dal, a delicious fish curry, roti, coconut sambal and fresh fruit. A feast! And better than anything we could buy in a restaurant. The rooms are basic, but perfectly comfortable. There is A/C and a fan and mosquito nets, and hot water showers in the en suite bathroom - so all the essentials! No fridge in the room, though. The hosts have a brand new high quality water purifier that you can use to get fresh drinking water. The hosts have a good relationship with two local tuk tuk drivers, who they trust and recommend. On our first morning to visit the cave temples they called us one of them - Mr Bandara who was very reasonably priced and super helpful. We booked him the next day for a tour of Anuradhapura and again for Polonnaruwa - he gave an excellent price and a fantastic tour with the odd bit of local knowledge (buying fresh fruits on the way home for us to try) without being overbearing, talking too much, or rushing us around. Would wholeheartedly recommend him!

We spent a very nice time during our stay at Dambulla, the couple here is very kind and we felt like we're at home at their place 🥰

Water pressure

The owners were really friendly and heartily. Breakfast was delicious and they helped me to organize a Tuk Tuk.

While my breakfast experience was wonderful, there were a few small areas where the overall experience could have been improved. The location itself was fantastic, but the shower could have been better. It would have been nice if the water pressure were a bit stronger, as it felt slightly inconsistent at times. Additionally, the temperature control could have been more responsive, as it took a little longer than expected to reach the ideal setting. However, these are minor issues in what was otherwise a lovely stay, and they didn’t take away from the overall enjoyment of the visit. With just a few tweaks to the shower, it would have been a flawless experience from start to finish!

The location was fairly good. It was situated in a relatively quiet area, which made for a peaceful atmosphere. It wasn’t too far from main road, so it was still convenient for getting around. The surroundings were pleasant enough, but nothing particularly special stood out.

slightly out of the way and wasn't the cleanest

The owners are a lovely elderly couple who made the best breakfast. The fruit platter included mangoes from their own tree!

Our favourite home stay in Sri Lanka so far. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming - with lots of cups of Sri Lankan tea and great recommendations on exploring Dambulla. They even took us to a spa near Sigiriya (also recommended) in their own time. The breakfast was delicious and filling. The homestay is located in a great part of Dambulla - close to the city but tucked away in a quiet spot. Look no further!
