This is not related to the homestay, but be careful with prices in this area. Sometimes they offer you a service (a tour, a bus ticket, etc.) for a price and then try to change it midway. Happened to us a few times. Again, this is not related to the homestay! Just some advice for fellow travellers :)

This homestay is amazing! It looks just like the photos in Booking. It is clean, cozy and peaceful. The hosts are wonderful people that really made us feel as part of their family. Their breakfasts and dinners were also super tasty. The AC works perfectly. There is a balcony where you can sit and relax. The homestay is 10 min away from the Dambulla Cave Temple (walking distance). Overall, perfect place to relax, visit the area and enjoy the hosts company!!

The couple running the homestay was fantastic! They were very welcoming, cooked really great dinner and breakfast and welcomed us with homemade passionfruit juice! They also helped to arrange a tour of the area and even drove us to our next stay in Anuradhapura themselves which was a very enjoyable drive. The room was also perfect, clean and comfortable.

Nothing at all!

Perfect Stay!! So good that we decided to stay one more night and have a early morning rush to Colombo airport instead of finding a place near the airport as originally planned! 10m walk from the cave temple! Amazing rooms and bathrooms. Strong wifi And most importantly the hosts were very kind helpful. Lots of monkeys around but be careful!

The ultimate guesthouse, just a short walk to the dambulla caves. Extremely helpful hosts drove me to the caves and atm free of charge. Room is spotlessly clean with great facilities, large and very modern, good shower and fast wifi and great air con. What makes me want to go back the most though was the breakfast, it was unbelievably good.

It was the perfect place for us in Dambulla. Walking distance to the cave temples and golden Buddha was a real bonus for us. The hosts were so lovely and generous. They gave us special New Year sweets to take with us and even some chilli seeds. The room was big and clean, as was the bathroom. A/C worked really well and the monkeys behaved themselves for a change :)

Beautiful house in a quiet part of the Dambulla. Room was clean, large with very good AC and very comfortable, large bed. Super friendly and helpful hosts. Also, the breakfast was just absolutely delicious (Sri Lankan style)

Food was delicious and they prepared all fresh. Location is quite peaceful and walkable distance to the Cave Temple. The host is a lovely family and is available 24/7 for any assistance, local guidance, etc.

Pleasant accommodation in a beautifully decorated house near the cave temple. The owners were great hosts. It was nice to chat with them. They also organized excursions in the area for us.

Absolutely nothing to dislike. And do consider he elephant safari. It was excellent and in my view much more fun than Sygiria at the same price!!

The nicest couple you could hope to meet, run this home stay. They were kind, patient and always trying to do their best for guests. We had 3 nights and evening meals and each one was delicious with very generous portions. Yummy. We loved the large, spotlessly clean rooms with communal balcony to watch the world go by. Also an easy 7 minute walk to the temple complex so very convenient. Tip: take socks which protect your feet from hot ground when you have to take your shoes off at the temple site! I doubt we will meet such lovely hosts again in our trip this year. Thank you for everything.

super nice hosts, open for a chat, helped us out, and even quickly drove us to the cave temple entrance because we were late. Room was comfortable, breakfast was tasty. Parking was secure behind a closed gate.

The owner was very friendly and organized my trips for a reasonable price. The food is delicious. 2km from city center but no need to go there as you get everything here. 5 minutes walk to the cave temple.

We had a fantastic stay at Rock View in Dambulla, thanks to the warm hospitality of Upul and his wife. They made us feel like part of their family from the moment we arrived. Upul kindly picked us up from the airport and drove us around over the next few days at very fair prices. Along the way, he shared insightful tips and fascinating stories about the country and its people. The breakfast was varied, featuring local specialties, and both breakfast and dinner were freshly prepared by Upul’s wife. Every meal was absolutely delicious! The price-performance ratio for the room was unbeatable. Additionally, the stunning Dambulla Cave Temple is within walking distance, which was very convenient for exploring the area. We highly recommend Rock View to anyone visiting Dambulla. 10/10!

Few tiny insects in the washroom but nothing to worry about.

Absolutely Fabulous Stay! Liked · This was definitely the best property I could have chosen in my whole trip across Sri Lanka. Not only is this walking distance from the Rock Temple, but is also very close from the main highway, so easy to find. The hospitality is out of this world. Things to highlight: 1. The host proactively reached out for my arrival time and even though it was very late, he stayed up and ensured we had everything comfortably (inc. an extra blanket) before he left. He also helped us with the luggage as the rooms were on the 1st floor. 2. The hospitality is out of this world, the host's wife comes in the morning with freshly prepared breakfast and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD - all possible Sri Lankan dishes including Hoppers, curry, Sambol. 3. The view from the sitting area is superb!!! Trees all around 4. Comfortable and spacious rooms, with all types of basic things available like hair dryer, scissors, etc. 5. Air conditioner and hot water both are available 6. Clean washrooms and comfy beds 7. Private parking inside the property Absolutely loved this property- recommend everyone to stay here!!!!
