I can definitely recommend this place! Its very affordable and quiet at night. The 4 bed dorm has its own bedroom and is equipped with everything you need (lockers, fan). Each bed has a mosquito net, an individual fan and a power plug to Charge your phone. The Main house has a little terrace in front which is really chill. There are also some seats in the Backyard where you can enjoy the excellent breakfast. The owner amd his Family are super friendly. He helps you out with anything you need and speaks very good english. If i will come back to dambulla i will definitely stay here again.

This lovely, clean and comfy hostel is just a short walk from the bus station and is owned by an exceptionally generous and kind family. With a large supermarket within 500m and the quiet location away from major roads I can’t recommend it enough, especially for its very reasonable price ! If you get the chance to try some traditional home cooked Sri Lankan food I recommend it!

The homestay offers excellent value for money. The owner and his family are very warm and welcoming, providing lots of information about nearby attractions. You can also book tours directly through them. The breakfast is affordable and plentiful.

Such a nice hostel!! Lovely host family, they are more than happy to help you with anything. Great tips on where to go and what to do. The location of the hostel is great. 5 min walk to city and super close to main bus stops, I could just walk to the hostel with my backpack. But it feels so serene in the hostel garden, with chill hammocks, many beautiful birds to spot, and many wild animals just walking around. Would definitely recommend! :)

The bathroom had some dirt falling from the roof so the floor was always a bit dirty. Would be good to have a squeegee to make the bathroom dry after a shower

Lovely family, great value for money, the perfect place for a quick stop in Dambulla. Host helped book tuktuk and gave us good information for the bus

Lovely family is running the hostel. The hostel has a big garden with nice hammocks. The breakfast is cheap (500 lkr) and really good! You eat it in the garden which is a fun and nice way to meet the other travelers. The host can arrange trips for you which are a good price. Like a tuktuk to the cave temple and Sigriya rock afterwards. Met fun people in this place and played Singalese games with the children. Absolutely loved the stay!

I would like to have a towel for free, but it could cost more money. (200 rupee, if I remember correctly.) The location is somehow confusing, In the evening, there is no light on the road. I went to a family house first, then I could find the real place. Then I realized there was a sign. But in the daylight, it's very easy to find.

One of the cleanest places in Sri Lanka. The bed was super comfy. There is a big supermarket nearby.

It was difficult to get there at first with my heavy backpack but nothing major.

Cleanest toilets and room i’ve stayed at in sri lanka and i had a great night’s sleep.

Occasionally spotty WiFi but that’s Sri Lanka

The private room I had was clean and comfortable. The hosts were both so sweet and pleasant to interact with. Lastly proximity to Cargill’s Food City really sealed the deal.

Very nice place! Excellent location, super clean and tidy. Great energy surrounding by nature.

Stayed in September 2024

I was the only one staying there so not very social in low season.

The hostel is absolutely beautiful!! It's a bit further from the main road hurdled in nature which makes it a relief away from the busy city. Breakfast was made vegan for me and so delicious!!! Highly recommend.

The host is amazing. It's really a home and not just any hostel. I wish I had more time to soak in all the nature vibes relaxing on the hammock, listening to distant crickets at night and chirping birds in the morning. Ranjith makes genuine effort (and succeeds) in helping out his guests as comfortably as possible. I am glad that I stumbled upon this property. He arranges tuk tuks at any time of the day and night ! Nearest bus stand is 10 min walk but if you are visiting cave temple ,lion rock and other surrounding places its better you arrange for tuk tuk as a package for all rides instead of individual trips.
