Samabe Lake, hotel in Dambulla

Situated in Dambulla, 23 km from Sigiriya Rock, Samabe Lake features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and water sports facilities.

This boutique guest house is fantastic, located in front of the Samabe lake. This is such a peaceful, relaxing and quiet environment. A real paradise for all nature lovers - located just a few minutes away from Dambulla center. For now, there are only 2 cottages in the property. So basically the stay is very private (no noise around). The cottage size is very good with a terrace from where you can enjoy the view of the lake. The personnel is very friendly - and insisted to invite me for a lovely boat tour on the lake for free. Surprisingly there was no mosquito in the cottage whereas we could think that there might be due to the proximity of the lake. The WiFi was working very fine. All was perfect. From this place, i did visit Dambulla (e.g Golden temple) and its surroundings- up to Habarana for a half a day safari (mainly elephants spotted) in the national park of Minneriya/Eco lodge. Spent 2 wonderful nights …and wish I would have more time to stay more !

Jm Resort, hotel in Dambulla

Situated in Dambulla, 20 km from Sigiriya Rock, Jm Resort features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a terrace.

We planned to stay one night, but ended up staying three night, because we liked the place so much! The family who runs this place is super lovely, friendly, extremely welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is delicious and you definitely won't be hungry afterwards. :) The family also helped us renting a scooter. To have a scooter is quite useful, because the accomodation is a bit outside of the center. However, the dambulla cave temple is in walking distance. The room was clean, beds are very comfortable and the terrace is nice for sitting outside in the morning or evening and enjoying a coffee or a beer. We definitely recommend this place and hopefully come back one day!

    All the sites were wonderful - Sigiriya (the rock), Dambulla Caves (Amazing - especially cave #2), Polonnaruwa (Ancient City), Elephant Safari saw 40 to 50 elephants - Mothers and their children on a ridge at the very end of the safari! It was a great day to be able to see that many in the game reserve all together. I would spend minimum 3 but really 4 nights up here as the travel day really doesn't count because you aren't running out to see anything until the next day, so this way you have 3 full days to see all the sites and it isn't rushed. Also, you go out early in the morning as it gets too bloody hot in the middle of the day.

    Dambulla is a great place to explore, especially if you are a nature lover. Lots of greenery is preserved amidst the cave temples. Frescos at the Dambulla cave temple are amazingly beautiful. Inside the caves are cold though the outside temperature is steaming hot in the summer. Sigiriya rock is another attraction near Dambulla. It will take a half a day tour to climb up and down but if you want to explore more, the area surrounding the Sigiriya rock garden is vast and can wonder around the rock garden and historical ruins for hours. Good for hikers. Ibbankatuwa ancient grave yard, Pidurangala (A rock with nice view at the top, situated parallel to Sigiriya Rock are some of other nearby attractions.

    First of all we would like to thank the owner and the management for giving us the opportunity to stay at this beautiful resort. Colin and Ajit did a wonderful job of looking after us They are hard working, sincere and committed in their work. Few things that need to be sorted out were the overgrown creeper in the front which is preventing sunlight from entering the front of the house. Lighting in the room and bathroom need to be brighter. A stronger Wi-Fi would be welcome Overall an enjoyable stay Hope to visit again Regards

    I was there for two days and the only place we actually enjoyed was sigirya/pidurungala rock which are not even in a city. Tuk tuk drivers are scamming tourist like crazy and there is almost no sidewalk so it makes it very hard or impossible to walk. The golden temple is good to see but I wouldn’t go back. Overall I wouldn’t go back there. I saw it once and that is more than enough. Please note that if places in dambulla carry some religous meaning to you than your opinion might differ.

    A centrally located tourist friendly town.

    A centrally located tourist friendly town. 65 Km from Anuradhapura, 16 km from Sigiria and Pedurangala, 110 km from Kandy and 65 km from Polonnaruva. Cave temple and golden temples are the main local attractions while nearby Sigiria and Pedurangala provide more adventure, in terms of climbing and view at the top. Plenty of places to eat local food for your taste, just say what and how you like it they will make it. Best places for a rice and curry lunch is on the main roads leading in to town, just outside of town. They serve lunch from noon to two in the afternoon.

    I was their first guest after they took a three-year break from hosting people, but everything was running smoothly as if they had never stopped. Breakfast was very varied and the hoppers were the best I tasted in Sri Lanka. The hosts welcomed me with lemonade and cake and even on my way back from visiting the cave, at the hotel just to retrieve my bags after I had already checked out, they had fresh lemonade for me (which was VERY much needed). The room was bright and spacious and the bathroom was very modern. Perfect stay!

    We had a great time at Lake Bliss. It is located out by a beautiful lake. At first we were worried with how far out the hotel was, but we found that the seclusion was wonderful. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and we had outdoor spaces to relax also. Our hosts were extremely helpful to us, answering every question we had, helping us plan our itinerary, and work through some personal issues we needed to tend to. I could not recommend Lake Bliss enough.

    This hotel is in a perfect location for visiting Dambulla Cave Temples, which are a short walk away. The staff were amazing and really made this a great place to stay. The manager, Siddu was incredibly helpful, particularly in sorting our onward bus travel to Kandy, reserving our seats and getting the bus to stop opposite the hotel to pick us up. We are breakfast, lunch and dinner and the cook, Romesh, made great meals. Lahshu made a good cocktail too!

    We are traveling around Sri Lanka in a rental car - pretty much a road trip! City Paradise Dambulla suits us well in terms of location and budget for someone like us who just wants to clean up and clean bed to rest, then get ready on the car the next day. The kindness and efforts to help out from all the members at City Paradise Dambulla are very impressive making our first trip in Sri Lanka wonderful - thank you :)

Really feels like they give more that 100% to the place - so many great details in the room and the place. We also had an amazing rice and curry for dinner and also got it vegan which was awesome! Overall one of the best stays in Sri Lanka!

    Gamage was a great host, very accommodating and friendly. He helped us with all transfers, even got us to Sigiriya when our transfer wasn't available. The rooms where simple, but very clean. For this price it's much better than we hoped for. We had breakfast and dinner here and it was great. The resort was a very short walk from the bus stop and is close to Dambulla. Excellent experience all around.
