Reviews of Rock View Home Stay

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!!

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 :)

Owner was really helpful, friendly and was also willing to collect us from the bus station.

My boyfriend got sick and Upul and his wife were so attentive. Great location and super nice hosts.

BREAKFAST WAS REALLY GOOD. THE HOSTS WERE VERY KIND AND HELPFUL. THANK YOU

NOTHING

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.

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!

Nothing at all!

Greatest place! Perfect base to visit cave temples and Sigiriya. Peacefull setting, away from the tourist crowds. Very friendly family and delicious food. Thank you! :)

The behaviour of the owner and the location...

The Host couple was so good... Everything is top notch.

There is nothing

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 :)

Property itself was well maintained and guest areas were very clean. It’s is very close to the temples! The lady who runs the property is amazing, such a love and generous cook.food is great.

There are ALOT of monkeys. Location is abit out of the way for anything other than the temple or if you don’t have transport

Lovely homestay, only 15min walk from dambulla cave temple. The dinner they prepared was absolutely lovely! Great stay!

This place is a gem, perfect location for the rock cave temple. Lovely clean comfortable room with ice cold aircon, the hosts are wonderful and friendly. They provided a delicious breakfast before we headed off in the morning. Loved it there.

Meeting the family. We read lots of reviews before deciding and the family were lovely. We took Upul's offer of a tour around the next day for a price which was good. He was very patient and prepared to wait wherever we went. We weren't really wanting to go to silk shops or massages but I enjoyed the herb garden and quick massage by the apprentice (lovely young lady) for a donation and the sleeping oil. Think it's helping 👍 We enjoyed our hike up piduranga rock and dambulla temple which was really easy walk from the homestay and Wathsalla preparing breakfast and one dinner. Bohoma stuthi. 🙏

Obviously the monkeys are very cheeky and come right up to the bedroom window so leave the place closed up. They are more wary of males and Upul keeps an unloaded rifle close by to just show them and they take off. They come on the roof too. Luckily they go in to the jungle through the night.

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)

Nothing

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.

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.

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!!

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.

The family is very hospitality. The lady is very nice, she gave me valuable for me gifts. The place is very clean, well maintained, delicious food and close to the cave temple.

Everything was super 👌

Very friendly people. Super clean room. Good beds, good shower, very clean bathroom. Walking distance from cave temple.
