The property was beautiful and the room was spacious, modern and well designed. But the real highlight was the husband and wife team, Madhu and Sanjee. They went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable. I felt so well taken care of—like coming home to family.

I had a great time here. Mr. Nimal is an exceptional host, he helped me with many things like scooter renting, tips, free rides and a good company. The room I had was new, comfortable, clean, I had a balcony with a nice view, the neighborhood was calm and safe and I could also work during my stay. Breakfast was delicious and all in all it was an exceptional stay in an exceptional family. Very high value for the money paid, very recommended.

We stayed in a guesthouse room in Dambulla and was very happy with our experience. The room was neat and clean with a fresh smell. The bed was large with a comfortable mattress, mosquito net (very useful here), and clean bed linen. The bathroom had a flow-type water heater with good water supply. In the room there was also a kettle, tea/coffee, drinking water, and a hair dryer. Next to the room there was a private terrace, very comfortable for enjoying meals. The guesthouse is located on a quiet, clean, and pleasant street, where you can take a walk near a nice lake. The cave temple is within walking distance, and the road is very scenic with rice fields and ancient ruins along the way. The city center is close – about 5 minutes by tuk-tuk, or you can even walk if you prefer. Breakfast was filling and tasty. The owner deserves special mention – he is very kind and caring. He explained local details, gave us umbrellas during the rain, helped organize a jeep safari at a good price, and advised which nature reserve was best to visit. He also arranged a transfer to Kandy at a fair price. For an extra charge, you can order a homemade dinner, and it is really worth it – very filling, with a variety of local dishes, all delicious, and the level of spiciness was just right for us. I highly recommend having dinner at the guesthouse instead of going out. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay. The place is excellent for its price, and I would be happy to stay here again.

The owner and the staff were all kind and helful. The owner drove us to the Cave Temple on the first day of our stay and then to the bus station on the checkout day, which was incredibly kind of him. Breakfasts were lovely too. Overall, a great stay!

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 Lake Island Home Stay in Dambulla was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived until the day I reluctantly departed, I was immersed in a paradise of tranquility and natural beauty. This charming homestay is a hidden gem that offers an authentic Sri Lankan experience like no other.

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.
