    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.

    The staff were like close family members who were truly interested in ensuring your well being. For example, when I purchased a meal in Dambulla to eat at the hotel, the staff served the meal to me like they had prepared the meal themselves. One staff member always made sure an insect coil was lit when I was outside. Incense was continually burning outside which I love. The staff also took me to a clinic when I needed an abrasion on my knee looked at. The staff member translated my issue to the pharmacist who attended to me immediately.

    This place located in the calm and picturesque part of Dambulla, but close to two main sightseens of the town. The territory is very green and clean and the room was also very cosy and nice. Food was very delicious: every morning it was very interesting to try new dishes of local cuisine, dinners was also really good! But of course the main gem of this place is the family that runs the hotel: they are very friendly, surround you with an atmosphere of care and are ready to help in anything.

    We really appreciated Pradeep’s hospitality and kindness. As a host, he was great to communicate with and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time in Dambulla. He organised a driver for a full day of activities and we really felt like we got a proper welcome and experience of the smaller, more local feel in Sri Lanka staying at Blue Mountain with his family. We loved sitting on the balcony and drinking tea with him and the other guests, such a cosy and authentic stay!

    I had a horrendous experience with a hotel booked through Booking.com. Despite booking in advance, upon arrival, the hotel was filthy and severely lacking in amenities. The staff were incredibly unfriendly, and to add insult to injury, they suggested we switch rooms to a different hotel altogether. It was beyond frustrating and a complete disappointment. I urge others to steer clear of this irresponsible establishment. Absolutely not worth the hassle or the money.

    Great place to stay. Friendly owner, who takes care of all his guests, ensuring they enjoy the stay in his guest house and Sri Lanka. And helping to plan the visit for those who haven't yet specified their plans Place is close to the city centre but in quiet area with no traffic noise. Restaurant with delicious food available (best roti I have ever eat). Tuk tuk and taxi service available. I would recommend it for everyone who plans to visit Dambulla.

    Great value homestay! Out of the hustle and bustle of Dambulla and so close to the Cave Temple. The breakfast was huge (way more than we could eat) and the hosts were wonderful helping us organize transport to Sigiriya and then to Ella at a very reasonable cost. Loved the big rock behind the property which you could climb for a beautiful view. The dinner was delicious, one of my favourite Sri Lanka meals so far!

    Had an amazing time here, I got myself hospitalized on my first night in Dambulla and the owner was EXTREMELY helpful and hospitable. Consequently I cannot recommend this place anything more than extremely strongly. It's definitely a nice, affordable place. Could not complain about the location. Host is good to chat with and I found him to be very generous.
