    We stayed one more night here because it was so peaceful and close to both Sigiriya and Dambulla. The host is so helpful and talented, he built the lodge himself, and surrounding wood sculptures. The shower has a partially exposed roof which is nice to look up to in morning showers. The bathroom and bedroom is very spacious and the price was amazing

    The room is clean and generously sized, and the bathroom is the biggest I've stayed in at Sri Lanka (cold shower only). We had a gecko and frog for company in the bathroom 😊. The host showed us his amazing wood crafting skills around the property. When I was unwell the host gave me painkillers to get better, lent us a knife to cut up fresh fruit, and made us a tea + dessert upon entry. We were so happy with this place, and the location is quiet and a quick drive to Dambulla or Sigiriya

    It is right out in the jungle. So it is best if you have your own transport as you wont be walking from town. The room has sockets , a decent bed and a bug net over the bed , each room has a little terrace area with its own seating and light. Breakfast was the best sized portion I've had here so far - and tasted great too! The hosts are very friendly and happy to help with anything you may need .

    The property was very basic but was exceptional for the price. The owner of the lodge and his wife were incredible and her cooking was amazing. We were able to do everything we wanted to do in just a one night stay because they arranged all of our travel. All of the tourist attractions are within easy reach from the lodge and they organised an incredible elephant safari for us at Kaudulla national park.

    Amazing place, it feels like a jungle resort! The rooms are well separated, with a sitting area outside each room. The room was spacious, clean and had a mosquito net. The road up to the property is rough, other than that the place is perfect.

    After it gets dark if you are alone and, especially without own vehicle, you can't really go out, and there is no place to eat within walkable distance. So one really needs to plan accordingly and buy food before heading back for the day. The dogs can get really loud at night.

    The room is very spacious and clean, with a nice porch. It is surrounded by green. It is amazing if you are in need of a break from the world. Very very good value for money.

    Nothing as a 'dislike', more like 'be aware': as this place is in the middle of the village be prepared for mosquito and different animals that are running on your roof :)

    We really liked the attention to detail and decor of the entire facility. You can see that the owners try to provide their guests with all the amenities. The hosts were very nice and helpful (the best tea in Sri Lanka!). Our kids loved playing in the yard. The place is very well connected to nearby attractions.

    Can't think of anything

    Asela and his lovely wife and 2 Kids have a really idyllic welcoming place in the green but close to the mainroad and with easy access to all sights. This is a great place because you get your freedom but also all questions answered and the individual careless package if you want- Asela can arrange everything for a fair budget. I'd go back anytime, 100%recommendedp

    Asela and his wife are absolutely incredible. They helped me in every way possible. I had such a wonderful time during my short stay there. The location of the home stay is quite convenient if you plan to travel around by local buses. The place itself is super cosy and green. You feel like you are in the middle of a jungle. Would recommend and will also come back :)

    Very nice neighborhood. Quiet and very nice to have rest at night. The bed is comfy The room is spacious and clean bathroom You can buy very cheap fruits nearby. Family can cook SriLankan food for a very reasonable price. They can organize a Safari in a discounted price. 350 meters walk to take a bus going to Lions rock or you can tell the owner for him to drop you to lions rock with a reasonable price. The wife even accompanied and showed us the short cut way (3 minutes walk) to take a bus going to trincomalee ,Dambulla, Polonnaruwa etc.

    Humble lodge surrounded by nature, with hot shower and strong wifi. Owner and his family are really nice and make sure that your needs are all met. He is one of the most honest man you can find here, as he would suggest you to places to visit and do his utmost best to show you the best deals to save you money.
