    The water pressure could be better and I didn’t have WiFi or data connection in my room. I had to sit in the lobby and use my data if I wanted to get online.

    Good location, very comfortable and clean and the staff are lovely.

    The bathroom was a little dated but still met our needs comfortably.

    We are a group of 4 adults aged in our sixties. We loved our stay at Gamagedera Resort. The price was excellent value. We chose the breakfast and dinner included option. The rooms were spacious, the bed really comfortable, the meals delicious with generous servings. The owner was very helpful and shared great information about the area and Sri Lanka. He also taught us a new board game. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The setting is quiet, but only about one block from the main road. There were lots of Mosquitoes in the region and Citronella repellent was provided by the resort along with nets over the beds. We took a plug in repellent for the room which worked a great. We highly recommend the resort and would stay again.

    I would say the only issue was the humidity in the room but I was also travelling in Dambulla during very rainy days.

    I can only say great things about Gamage as a person and a hotel owner. He took a lot of time to show me the area around Dambulla other than the Cave Temples and we spoke about everything for hours. He is a genuinely kind and curious person and you can immediately feel that, so a stay in his resort is worth it even only because of his personal touch. The rooms are simple but very affordable!
