    Everything was good but please note that there is no AC in the room.

    The Green jungle was a great place for our one-night stay with family and a friend. The room was super clean and we were able to check in very late which was great.

    The green jungle provides peaceful accomodation in beautiful jungle garden. Host Nuwan is very kind and very helpful and treated us like family. They helped us to arrange every trip, picked us up at bus stop or drove us to and from see sights. Nuwan's wife prepared for us delicious and clean homemade food. We definitely recommend this this accomodation.

    There were only windows in the front, so there was no real air circulation by only opening the windows. We talked with him about it and he want to fix it by adding hinges to the window in the back. But he provided fans which did the trick.

    The host was an enormous help, he organized someone to pick us up in the middle of the night (3am) from the airport. He also drove us to every activities and offered numerous tipps for things to do. And the homestyle cooking was amazing!

    It was a perfect stay for three days :) They organized a taxi from the airport to their beautiful homestay. The location in the green jungle is a great starting point for many attractions in the area. If you want to do tours, hikes, or visit temples, you’ll get help and transportation from the host. You will be served a nice breakfast on your terrace, and dinner is also available if you wish. All in all, it was an easy and pleasant stay.

    A perfect start to our Sri Lanka trip! We felt so welcome thanks to the incredibly kind and helpful host, Nuwan, and his lovely family. They went above and beyond to support us with everything — from organizing trips to Sigiriya, Minneriya, and Polonnaruwa to showing us hidden local “secret spots” around Dambulla that only a local would know. The room was cozy and clean (note: no A/C), with a private bathroom and a small terrace surrounded by peaceful jungle greenery. Breakfast is served right outside, and optional lunch or dinner is also available – all homemade and delicious. Nuwan was always available with his tuk-tuk, flexible and ready to drive us anywhere we needed. His warm hospitality truly made this a special experience. Very good value for money – simple, but all you need and worth every rupee. If you’re staying in the Dambulla/Sigiriya area, we absolutely recommend this place.

    nothing. everything was great

    The location was great. super lush garden, a little sanctuary. The breakfast was HUGE. Absolutely delicious and way too much for me to finish but yet i still did anyway :) Amazing value! The family are the sweetest and kindest people ever. By far the best care i have received in the whole of Sri Lanka. I feel very blessed to have found this little gem. I even extended my stay as i feel right at home. I cannot believe the help and care received in this visit. Local knowledge brought me to all the wonderful places in the area. Could not recommend enough.

    Nuwan gave us a very warm welcome and the room was very clean and spacious. He informed us extensively about the area and activities to do, took us to see a nice sunset and to go birdwatching free of charge. After our stay, he gave us a ride to the bus station and helped us get on the right bus, which was very helpful. We would definitely recommend staying here!

    This stay was great, surrounded by lush nature and has very clean spacious rooms! WiFi is great for working remotely. We stayed there for 2 nights and couldn't be happier, with the service provided by the hosts, we had our meals here all home made (breakfast included and lunch and dinner with some extra costs). It's a family owned business and we truly felt like a part of their family while staying there. They arranged for us sunrise hike and a safari all with ok pricing. Highly recommend to stay here is you have Sigiriya in your itinerary.

    Excellent hospitality. Room was cool, clean, and comfortable. Very relaxing being in a hammock in the middle of a jungle. There’s a bus stop on the main road right by the house (it’s 1 stop away from Dambulla town) and it’s easy to catch a bus to here from Colombo.

    I missed the fridge and air conditioning but that's understandable due to Sri Lanka's electrical problems.

    The room was huge the garden was full of vegetation it was like I was in a jungle, the staff was very kind and helpful! The location of the accommodation was very good, everything was accessible by tuk tuk in no time. Sri Lankan breakfast was very tasty with different flavors every day

    The bathroom and room are very spacious with a nice terrace with beautiful garden view. Nuwan and his family are very special, they immediately make you feel part of their family. Their service is far above all standards, with his TukTuk he brought us to unknown spots, arranged day trips for us and was always asking if we need any support. The breakfast and dinner are super tasteful. Highly recommended!
