Lock in a great price for The Green Edge – rated 9.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

A small, elegant, well-run hotel set in amongst the lush plantings of a walled garden. The wide terrace that surrounds the hotel is also the dining area where delicious and well-presented meals are served at both breakfast and dinner time.The young owner seems to be extremely invested in his guests being happy with the hotel and the service. He need not worry ... everything was wonderful. The staff was attentive, pro-active and very pleasant. It was a pleasure to stay there.

Susan, Canada

Super nice staff and food, great location (close to city center yet quiet and secluded in beautiful nature) and lovely setting

Patricia, United States of America

Totally recommended place, if you look for calm oasis, close to ancient cities in Sri Lanka. Small B&B, with excellent team of staff to support you. We enjoyed early welcome and room access, to fall asleep after overnight flight. Super comfortable rooms, very nice bathroom, breakfast and dinners served just in front of your room on the terrace, located in green well kept garden/green oasis. Very good, home made food. Tea served when you need and like. B&B owner arranged a friendly and competent driver for us to take us on day trips.

We spent 3 nights at Green Edge and loved it. Dool, Loki and Sudgee looked after us so well... nothing was too much trouble. It is situated a few kilometres out of Dambulla and therefore very peaceful. The food was delicious especially the breakfasts. It was a delight to see all the birds in the garden.

Sarah, South Africa

The owner and the staff were really great. One of the most beautiful places I have stayed.Bathrooms clean and awesome . Great ambience.

Shilpa, India

This was a wonderful hotel. The staff was so friendly and helpfuL. They arranged all our travel and sight seeing. The food was delicious and served anytime you want for a very reasonable price. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is small and out of town, which is good bc it's quiet. Dambulla is pretty central to everything.

Brianna, Canada

We had a wonderful stay; the staff is really awesome Dool and Lokki, lovely place in a green oasis to calm down and to start excursions from. The host welcomed us really warmly and prepared delicious meals with a variety of Sri Lankan dishes for small money. He always had an open ear and shared interesting information about the country and the people. Also he offered us bikes, which we could use for free to go to the city as well as he arranged tuktuk rides for fair prices. The whole team was extremely professional, open and welcoming…… They have a beautiful garden and awesome tree house on the property. The place is quiet and peaceful; we would definitely come back… We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the Green Edge to anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle ….and its better place than star class hotels around.

The rooms are very comfortable and big. The bathroom is very nice and clean. Also a refrigerator and AC is available. The staff (Assirin and his colleague) looking that everything is perfectly fine for you as a guest. As well they have a Tuktuk service included. Also you can ask for a tour to Sigiriya or Polonaruwa. They also arranged a safari tour for us. The breakfast and the dinner was always really good. We stayed three nights and would come back. So I can fully recommend this place.

The only window in the room is looking at the terrace and everyone walking or dining there can see through it. So if you wish to have some privacy you need to close the courtains. These are very opaque, blocking all daylight from entering the room.
The staff was very nice and attentive. Our bed was big and comfortable. The Breakfast was great. The property has a very lovely garden/terrace where they serve breakfast.

Not that close to Dambulla, but in fact this was a plus for me.
Great place to stay, amazing garden with bamboo and banana trees, nice tarrace with comfortable sofas where you can relax after whole day of sightseeing. Very friendly and helpful staff who can organize everything from tuk-tuk, delicious dinner and beer in the evening. Nothing was a problem to them. I didn’t want to leave this place. Would definately recommend to everyone.

Calm and relaxing place. Very clean. Extremely helpful. Delicious dinner. Ideal for day trips to Sirigiya (do Pidurangula instead of touristy Lions Head!) and Polonnaruwa. With our personal tuktuk driver (Connor?) we always felt really save! Thanks for that and a really pleasant stay in total :)

There was nothing we were unhappy about, everything was perfect.
The rooms are beautifully decorated with attention to detail. The host accommodated our request to push the twin beds together since we were on our honeymoon (the double rooms were fully booked). They welcomed us with a pot of tea and a delicious home baked cake to celebrate our honeymoon! It was so kind of them. The staff are fantastic and were always happy to help. We really enjoyed sitting outside sipping on a beer on an evening while listening to the sounds of the surrounding jungle. We are so glad we came to stay here and wish we could have stayed longer! It was definitely a highlight of our trip. It's a great location when wanting to go to the Dambulla cave temples and Sigiriya Rock.

Wonderful people running this small boutique hotel. It’s a peaceful oasis not from from the town. Lovely clean rooms and the service was beyond reproach. If you needed to go into town, they were always willing to take you at no extra charge. They provided cheap, excellent homemade meals in the evening if you wanted them. We cannot speak highly enough of this establishment.

Nothing - just be aware that the hotel sign on the approach road is well camouflaged in a bush, making the hotel somewhat difficult to find.
