The family there is very friendly and helpful. But the problem is mosquitoes. There should be a mosquito screen in the windows or something. Cold water.

Bonjour, j'aimerais vous envoyer un email complet car nous avons été victime d'extorsion dans cet établissement. Le propriétaire semble avoir annulé la réservation mais nous avons bien séjourné 2 nuits sur place. Merci

The Host and his Family was amazing! The Hostel was really quite because you take 10 min. to walk to the busy street and a place to calm down.

Dambulla city hostel was a very cozy stay with a very friendly family running it. It felt very homely and warm, and I had an amazing time there. They were also very much willing to help me plan the trip in and around Dambulla. I would highly recommend this hostel

I really loved my stay. The family who is running the hostel was so friendly! The room had no aircon but each bed had its own van so it worked fine.

Amazing hostel ! The manager is very sympathetic and helpful. He gives so much advice for visiting. He even cames with me to Polonaruwa. He has so many good plans for tuktuks, visits or safari cheaper than other touristic places. The family is so cute and helpful too. There was no many backpackers but is it not the season, so it’s ok. The room was very nice and clean !. A bit hot in the room but it’s ok. I absolutely recommend this hostel ! See you and thanks for everything it was very ni...

Unglaublich netter Gastgeber und familiäre Atmosphäre☺️ dazu ein wirklich sauberes Zimmer und ein tolles (local) Frühstück! Es liegt etwas abseits, aber auf Grund der lauten Hauptstraße ist das eher ein Pluspunkt.

The host and his family is really kind. The children are always smiling and made me happy. And his wife served really delicious Srilanka curry and rice in the morning. I wanna stay here again sincerely!!

The stay was a pleasure! It is a mixture of a Hostel and a Home Stay, so I got in touch with other travellers and the located family, what I really enjoyed. The owner is a heartwarming person, its child even more. As a stopover to Anuradhapura or Sigiriya it is a perfect stay for 2 or 3 nights. The cave temple is a mesmerising experience and the rose quartz mountain as well :) the garden at hostel is perfect for relaxation and a day off from adventures!!

This homestay is managed by a lovely family. The host is super helpful providing you with tips and arranging tuk tuk transportation. You are immersed in the nature, perfect for a moment of relax. It was not peak season so I can’t say much about the atmosphere. The place was overall clean. The position is not super central, but it’s good if you want to escape the noise of the main road!
