The rooms are really good quality, spacious, have comfortable beds, the location is good with area attractions and wildlife, and they will welcome just like family. Such a sweet family who are excellent at hospitality and ensuring you have an amazing experience. The breakfast was so good we also had them cook dinner for us!

Everything was perfect! Nuwan and his family were so accommodating. He took us to a festival and shopping when we needed some home comforts. He also organised all our tours and activities when he was unable to take us. On one night, his mother in law cooked us the most delicious meal - highly recommend! The room was large and spacious and we were so well looked after. Very underpriced for the service you receive - DEFINITELY STAY HERE!

I liked everything! The room and bathroom were spacious and immaculate, there was A/C and a hot shower, and the balcony was a relaxing place to eat the delicious homemade meals. The homestay is next to a rock you can climb to take in sunrise or sunset, and it’s a 10-minute walk to the Dambulla cave temple. Best of all, Roy and his family were so kind and welcoming. Roy helped me plan a day trip to Polonnaruwa and a sunrise hike to Pidurangala Rock, and he gave me multiple rides to the bus stop. This was one of my favorite stays during my 6 months of traveling in Asia!

We only stayed here one night, but from the minute we arrived we wished we were staying longer. The property and land is absolutely stunning, and you can’t meet a nicer person than Pradeep. He really went out of his way to make my family feel welcome, and was so sweet with my kids. The room was so comfortable - strong A/C, modern bathroom, really comfortable beds and very clean. The kids loved showering outside, going on walks, relaxing in the hammocks, looking for the dog. The dinner and breakfast was delicious and overall just a really lovely stay. Thanks, Pradeep!!

The room was super clean and the staff very very friendly. We arrived late (11 pm) and they were here opening the door for us. The host waited for us. And the next morning, he brings us to visit Sigirya. It's not the king of quick visit, he gave us a while tour visit! I definitely recommend this hotel!

    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 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.
