    They offered me a SIM card (I did asked). They provided me one day after my arrival and the following day internet was already over. Restaurant was ok but less value for money. Same recipes for fish, pork and chicken. That’s all

    The bar at the pool is super!

    Service point of view was a bit slow, ordered food didn't come in time. First 2 days struggling for hot water for bathing, eventually resolved. They don't have blankets for some reason, I requested, they provide after one day but only one, we had two beds so obviously we need two blankets.

    Lovely pool bar and location. Awesome staff, everyone is very polite and helpful. Breakfast was wonderful 👍. The room was very good and spacious. Something different I noticed this time in the beds, one need to visit to see it.

    The only critism we have is that the rooms had solid wood doors so the room felt very dark. My suggestion would be that they are replaced with glass so you could see the beautiful view

    The hotel living spaces are well managed but all around was a mess. There's a lot of trash around, I think that everything needs a fix or some maintenance but some corners looked like they were abandoned. We didn't have our room done during the day.

    The staff was literally amazing. They have a good bar service with awesome cocktails by the pool and we had a great dinner at their restaurant. Very good price and position in dambulla as well.

    Breakfast was chaotic and poorly organized during our first morning. I think there were just too many people for the number of staff. They did try to make an effort to fix it but we just opted to have breakfast elsewhere the next day.

    A perfectly located and comfortable stay in Dambulla. The grounds are precious and spacious, the pool is fun, and the rooms are comfortable. We made a last-minute reservation and weren't able to get rooms close together but the staff was extremely accommodating and tried to meet as many of our requests as possible.

    "Jungle hotel concept " special kind hosts and welcoming staff

    It is jungly hotel concept but not 100% ready yet, need some time to finalise it, and then will be super nice place . When we were in this place the construction have not finished therefore it was a bit annoying us therefore it is not 10 point! Food prices are a bit on the high side but not extreme.

    Adam & Sofia are very friendly and welcoming hosts! We had a beautiful room and very big with continuous hot water! Swimming pool area is awesome! The house dog, Bruno is a cool and nice friendly dog! Hotel Location is good near to the Tample! Breakfast is good and everyone are friendly from the staff! Local monkeys make the feeling very cool!

    The room we were allocated was terrible. After a very long day we were looking forward to checking into the room pictured on Booking.com what we woke up to was a very tired, shabby room, smelly bathroom with a leaking toilet. Looks like we got the runt of the litter as all the other rooms we could see looked great but we were not in a position to change. The hotel is also having some fairly major building works going on and while done considerately not the chilled atmosphere most were expecting

    The hotel location was perfect and the staff were very good, The pool is good but a lot of the tiles are chipped and sharp so if you have little kids be careful

    Not Worth the Price – Substandard Rooms and Service
    • Leisure trip

    • Triple Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 3 nights
    • Submitted via mobile

    Unfortunately, our room experience was far below expectations and did not reflect the 4‑star standard advertised on Booking.com, nor the price paid. The rooms were noticeably dated compared to the photos online. Despite booking a "triple room with balcony" months in advance, we were told upon arrival that it was “unavailable” and were given a ground-floor room with no view, missing featured amenities such as a minibar and electric kettle. It did however feature a leaking faucet. On the third evening, light rain revealed severe maintenance issues: the ceiling leaked in multiple places — including directly above the bed. Staff attributed this to monkeys, but with three separate leaks across a large section of the ceiling, it clearly pointed to poor upkeep. We were then moved to another room, only to find that the air conditioning was broken. Very late that evening we were finally relocated again, this time to a slightly better room with working AC and no leakage. By then, our children had missed out on proper rest, and both our evening and the following day were disrupted. Most disappointing of all, there was no apology, acknowledgment, or offer of compensation at checkout.

    The swimming pool was definitely a highlight — clean, decently-maintained, and very enjoyable for kids. We also appreciated the variety of excursions offered. In particular, the trip to Polonnaruwa was fantastic thanks to our driver, Anu. He deserves a special mention for his friendliness, knowledge gathering (you book a driver, not a guide!), and excellent service.
