Reviews of Pawana Rest

Everything was great.. absolutely everything! First of all it was the cleanest room of all the ones we stayed in. Everything around us was spotless and pleasantly scented. The family who owns the property is so warm and friendly. Breakfast was different every morning and the area is wonderfully quiet.Ypu definitely won't regret it

Pawana Rest is an oasis of tranquility, perfect for chilling and unwinding after a long trip or after a day of exploring the many attractions around Dambulla. This small but charming homestay is very well managed and the whole family works as a perfect team making sure that guests’ needs and requests are promptly met. Our room was spotless, big enough, with a very comfortable bed and a basic but modern and functional bathroom. The food – traditional Sri Lankan one, adapted to our spice tolerance level - cooked by Nuwan (currently training to become a chef) and his mother was hands down the best (quality and presentation) we had during our 1 month tour of Sri Lanka. This family’s wonderful hospitality will make your stay in the Sri Lankan countryside a bliss. Highly recommend.

Quiet and secluded with beautiful garden.

No A/C, however, mosquito netting and great fans.

All perfect! Clean, nice.. Food was very delicious

All was perfect… no minus points

This is a very simple family homestay and is a delight to stay in. It's incredibly clean and quiet and the family that run it are absolutely lovely! It's very handy for the caves at Dambulla or visiting Sigirya or Pidurangala. The family will arrange transport for you. We had such a nice time and had a wonderful afternoon having Sri Lankan cookery lessons with our hosts. I highly recommend the cooking lessons, we learnt so much and got to eat it all afterwards!

Quite location, close to basically the centre of the town, better to have a car

it was okay for a night

Amazing amazing amazing family! The room is extremely clean and lovely and the bathroom was the same. The food for dinners and breakfast was delicious, and everyone was extremely helpful in giving local info and offering to book trips or anything else we needed. Would 110% go again!

Great place to stay in Dambulla. It is a family stay and felt welcomed right away. We had Sri Lankan bfast every day with different specialities Room is perfect if you wanna keep it under budget.

The staff was really friendly Location was good

You must pay for the airco A lot of mosquitos No net

The hotel is run by a wonderful family. The hospitality, service, cleanliness, breakfast are to the highest standards. I am deeply impressed when the owner has traveled back and forth 100 kms to get my medicines that I forgot in a restaurant on the way to Pawana Rest. The son has organized almost everything that we require in the city. The mother has cooked delicious food for us. I highly recommend the hotel to any traveller. Thank you for everything.

Very nice Family always there if you need help with anything. Good srilankan breakfast.

School is right next to the house so it’s pretty loud early in the morning.

This place was such a lovely and special guest house. The family running couldn’t be more helpful and accommodating... breakfast each morning was something Sri lanken, all home made, we even had some mango from the trees! The rooms are quite basic but there’s a fan and everything you really need so very good value for money. It’s also in a great location and easy to get to and from site seeing via tuk tuks. ( We recommend getting to a cricket match if there’s one on during your visit. )

Very clean room. The owners is a nice family that is very helpfull with everything. The food there is amazing. Highly recommend!

Lovely family and friendliest hosts I have had in Sri Lanka. Their help and hospitality comes from their hearts, that was my feeling. Quiet location Dinner and breakfast were very tasty and more then enough Nice terrace for chilling out or eating Very well-kept accomodation

Sometimes the wifi was very slow or I lost the connection.
