Villa Hanguk is an ideal spot if you plan to explore the Dambulla area. The owner is incredibly helpful, offering assistance with scooter or tuk-tuk rentals and organizing local trips. The villa is nestled just 400 meters from the main city street, surrounded by lush paddy fields. The beautifully maintained garden is filled with vibrant plants and flowers, offering plenty of cozy spots to relax—whether in a hammock, at a dining area, or playing table games. Being in the middle of nature, you can expect the delightful sounds of wildlife, including peacocks. It truly adds to the charm of the place. One of the highlights of our stay was the Sri Lankan food. The meals were not only delicious but also generously portioned. I highly recommend skipping outside restaurants and instead asking the staff to prepare dinner for you—you won’t be disappointed!

Roy was friendly and helpful with directions. His wife cooked us the best food in the entire universe for dinner - rice and six curries. These were so good that every meal I have eaten since then has made me cry because I know my culinary experience in life has already peaked. The homestay is right next to a giant rock that gives spectacular views all around, including Sigiriya / Lion Rock on the horizon. We walked up it for sunset and sunrise. There were some cool geckos hanging around outside our room.

I'm a lazy bastard, so i only review places when it's something to write about. This place in one of those. Nothing overly luxurious, but the value for money and the incredible service minded host makes this place (close to) 10 points! Use this guy to book tours as well.

The owner is amazingly kind and helpful! Being welcomed with some tea, you will find the guest house such a warm place already. The entire guest house is impeccably clean. The floor tiles are shining, I’m not exaggerating anything. Also their WiFi is great. Ask the owner the password! And food. I had both dinner and breakfast, and they were made in heaven. For each time, I first thought the potion was too large, but I somehow ended up eating all up - they were THAT good. Overall: 1,000,000/10. Can’t recommend enough.

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.
