Food and spa is a bit expensive.

It was a very nice place to stay. Muic until 22.30 was ok but if you want to go sleep earlie than its a bit annoying. For the dambulla temple its a realy nice place only 10 min by foot. The pool is very nice and the room is really big. We also get an upgrade to a family room for the same price. Only food price is a bot expensive and the spa could be cheaper.

Slightly dated building, facilities are okay

Great location, very close to the rock temple in the jungle.

Not like a 5 starts resort. Basic breakfast. No caring for the garden, plants and trees

Pool bar. Reception was great. Spa is nice. Jungle feeling.

Very friendly staff, good location; food was ok. On top we had a 15 min relaxing massage

The property felt a bit tired and in need of some upgrades/replacement sunbeds etc. We had booked a pool view room, but were given an ‘upgrade’ to a family room, which didn’t overlook the pool, so felt a bit cheated out of a view. The hot water was also hit and miss. We didn’t really have a choice but to eat at the accommodation as we were advised that local eateries were very local and didn’t serve alcohol (we like a drink with our dinner). Dinners were fine but there were no chairs with backs making if a little uncomfortable for me.

Jungle vibe, friendly staff, clean rooms and a great ginger arrack cocktail! We also left some items behind in the safe and the staff were helpful in looking after them until we passed through again a few days later. Nice breakfast, served on a traditional tray. We did laugh one day when they ran out of tea pots and took ours away part way through drinking to give to other guests and brought ours back with a saucer as a replacement lid!

Nothing

The resort has a jungle feeling, with a lot of wild vegetation and animals all around. The pool in the middle makes it cozy also during the hot nights. Nice welcoming staff. We got also an upgrade and the room was big. Wonderful breakfast. Walk distance from Dambulla Rock Temple. Had the chance to have a massage. It was also good. Parking area with staff helping.

Very helpful staff. Reasonable facilities although swimming pool was not fully functioning due to pump faults. Cleanliness was average. Food was traditional and of good standard. The hotel is mostly a building site and large areas are under active construction. Hotel provided a very helpful, friendly driver.

Building work and building dust! Also expensive for the experience!

Pool and ginger cocktails were the best

Stayed in April 2025

Found the music played at pool bar quiet loud at night but we did go to bed quiet early given our early starts!

Great pool and swim up bar. Laid back vibe away from the busyness of the main drag. Rooms comfortable, breakfast fabulous, restaurant on site made for an easy dinner option. Close to Dambulla caves.

We didn't enjoy the very relaxed and layed back attitude of the staff and sometimes lack of organisation and communication: I.e. our room that we checked in wasn't our original booking ,room service wasn't completed as we weren't informed that we had to leave the keys behind.However, the porter was lovely and even helped us to book a bus to kandy. Our breakfast was also accomdated to my allergies. We believe that for the price we paid, we could expect a bit more service ,attentiveness, better am enities, and facilities.Unfortunately, we wouldnt come back again. Also the images on the website was not accurate.

The greenery on the property was a nice contrast to the otherwise very dry Dambulla. We also enjoyed the efforts made by staff to accommodate our dietary requirements for breakfast.

They seemed understaffed so meals were a little stressful with long waits to order and for food at each meal. Both my boys cut themselves in the pool because of the uneven surfaces / broken tiles.

The location was good and some of the staff were really attentive. They were able to make a takeaway brekky when we went to climb Pidurangala Rock at dawn.

The pool was great, under the canopies for a real jungle effect.

Sundaras is a very beautiful hotel with very friendly staff who wants to help with everything. We really enjoyed our stay here and we would definitely recommend this to everyone! The breakfast was amazing as well. Many thanks for the great stay

Restaurant service could have been better. Options were more limited at different times than suggested, and could be slow. There is a large construction project next to the hotel but it wasn't too disruptive. We had to request for the room to be cleaned and for supplies to be replenished. Quite overgrown around the pool so lots of ants.

Tilly was great driver for excursions, and reception were helpful arranging tours. The room was nice, and bathroom was good too. Breakfast was decent. Good location walking distance to cave Temples.

The accommodation was rather tired but we stayed during an exceptional rain storm which meant everything was wet with some flooding across the complex.

Friendly, helpful staff. Accommodation was rather shabbier than shown in the pictures but it was clean and comfortable. The complementary massage on arrival was a pleasant surprise. Well located for the Damballa temple complex.

Music from the pool bar irritating but barman turned it down when he could

Very helpful staff, especially on reception. Exercise bike in our large room an unexpected pleasure! Spacious room, super bed.

The staff was sometimes a bit overwhelmed when a large group came

The location was great and the staff was very helpful and friendly

The menu was limited for vegetarians and a bit stodgy / fried carbs focussed. Coffee machine at the bar could be running a bit earlier than 11:00am.

Staff were great and flexible. They let us choose our preferred room. Great view of the Dambulla cave temple mountain from our balcony. Breakfast was epic every time, a whole experience. The Masseurs were excellent and a very peaceful garden. Bruno the dog was a delightful guardian and protector from the monkeys.

The Ongoing very noisy construction work onsite from early till very late.

We really liked the comfortable bed and the staff were very helpful.

Stayed in December 2024

Unfortunately there was building work which started early and finished late. So not the relaxing stay we were expecting, which spoiled our stay.

The staff were superb and couldn’t do enough for you.. Adrian, our guide who was linked to the hotel was very knowledgeable and an extremely helpful and friendly guy. The pool area set up was really lovely too. Lots of wildlife around that you could hear & see…

It is still a work in progress

A very impressive presentation of breakfast both Sri Lankan and Western style. Dambulla is an excellent base for visits to the Cultural Triangle and the safari area. Food at the restaurant very good and reasobly prices.

Very friendly & extremely helpful people managing the nice little property. Has a nice little pool & bar alongside. Excellent breakfast included in our booking & a complimentary 15 minutes massage in the Spa during the stay made it a great value package overall. About 1km from the Dambulla Cave Temple & 2 km from the main town. Special thanks to the Security staff who helped us getting the AC bus to Kandy (made calls to find the exact time when the bus passes the Hotel & helped us board the bus just outside the Hotel). Highly recommended.

Very very minor: - There was no toilet paper in the room so we went to reception to get some and they asked us to follow them to another room where they got one and we then took it up to our room. Not a big deal at all but it would’ve been nicer service if they had brought it up to the room. - The ladies doing the free massage were 15 minutes late, not a big deal as there was a big apology for this.

The property is in a great location and it’s lovely once you’re there. The pool is gorgeous, especially at night when it’s lit up. Very atmospheric! The room was lovely with a nice balcony and clean, well equipped bathroom. There’s both a fan and AC so you can choose what’s best for the temperature. The staff were super helpful and nice: they allowed us to check in early and brought us juice and fruit. They also exchanged money for us which was really useful. The free massage and free breakfast were both great. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it! We’re sorry we couldn’t tip as we didn’t have the right change on us, but service definitely deserved it!
