Very nice boutique hotel with only 5 rooms, it was clean and comfortable with lots of amenities. The staff is what makes this property so great, they’re all extremely nice and it was very appreciated. There’s a tuktuk driver on site (thank you Amila!) who woke up before dawn to takes us places and was very helpful. 15min to Dambulla caves, 30 to sigiriya / pirudangala

Dambulla Tree House, hotel in Dambulla

Located just 8.8 miles from Sigiriya Rock, Dambulla Tree House provides accommodations in Dambulla with a garden, a terrace, as well as room service.

Stay here was a great adventure because sleeping in a Tree House is something unusual. The House is really comfortable and clean. But the best here is host family. They are super helpfull, warm and very kind. They were always happy to help us or just to have a chat and tell us something about theirs country, culture and food. The mels were also really delicious. The area of Dambulla is also worth seeing. I really recommend this place and I wish I could come back here one day.

The owner was incredibly helpful and advised us well on how make the most of our time in beautiful Sigiriya. He happily drove us wherever we needed to go in his tuk tuk which is a real advantage. While there are some parts of the hotel still being built, the rooms are very clean, cozy, and tastefully furnished. The location is within 200 meters walking distance to several restaurants, etc. and the Lion Rock park is only ~5 minutes away

Sigiriya Hillside View Villa, hotel in Dambulla

Located 1.6 miles from Sigiriya Rock, Sigiriya Hillside View Villa provides accommodations with a garden, a terrace and room service for your convenience. Free WiFi is provided.

We had such an incredible time staying with Sandeepa, Chandra and the rest of the family. We highly recommend you book your accommodation here with them! The homestay itself is close enough to the city and restaurants that you can walk or easily tuk tuk to Lion Rock, Pidurangala Rock, etc. But it’s also in the jungle enough that you can enjoy a view of the rock, with just the sounds of monkeys and birds when you wake up. The rooms are big, and very clean. The fan is enough at night to cool you and the mosquito nets keep you from getting bitten. And then the kindness and generosity that the family greets you with is unmatched. The breakfasts every morning were some of the best we’ve had in a month traveling South Asia. Fresh, delicious and filling. They even make breakfast for you late if you come back from a morning tour. And they are happy to advise you on things to do in the area (or what not to do in the case of running into wild elephants!). In fact, we chatted with Sadeepa about our upcoming safari plans in Udawalawe and he commented to us the Eco Park in Habanara actually had a lot of elephants at the moment, and helped us arrange a safari that was considerably less expensive than the one we had planned, with far fewer tourists! We loved our stay at the Hillside View Villa and would have stayed even longer if we could have!

    The family were so lovely. The lady did our washing and Sosa was rally helpful giving us lifts, they both were very kind and helped us planned our days. The breakfast was different most days, they made us a packed lunch and gave us loads of fruit to try when we booked a safari, can’t reccomend enough! The room was spacious, really nice shower.

    Our time at the Kandalama Lodge was beautiful. We felt special from the beginning. Everything was clean and tidy, the interior and decoration was on point. The bathroom outside was a bliss. We stayed at the villa with a private pool which was luxury as well. We felt so at home! Madushan made sure that we had a nice trip to Dabula and organized a driver for us. He made sure that everything was perfect. The food - try the Sri Lankan curry it is soo good- and the cocktails were amazing! We highly recommend to stay there!

    The Owner (Nuwan) who was always there was charming and very attentive. The room was very comfortable, and the bathroom is large and spacious. We booked a safari with them, and it was great; we saw about 80 wild elephants in one day, which was amazing. They also arranged a Car for us to go see the sunrise at Pidurangala.

    Perfect place to relax at the end of the day… or to spend the entire day! Only a handful of lodges and beautifully styled. Very clean inside the lodges and around the pool/garden. Loved the open air bathroom.

    A small number of beautiful lodges in beautiful green surroundings. Everything fits together perfectly and is of good quality. Very friendly and helpful owner and staff. The food is more expensive than outside but it is simply fantastic. We had one of the best vegetarian curry selection cooked after our preferences. The breakfast is also really good.
