The property was beautiful and the room was spacious, modern and well designed. But the real highlight was the husband and wife team, Madhu and Sanjee. They went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable. I felt so well taken care of—like coming home to family.

Excellent hospitality. Room was cool, clean, and comfortable. Very relaxing being in a hammock in the middle of a jungle. There’s a bus stop on the main road right by the house (it’s 1 stop away from Dambulla town) and it’s easy to catch a bus to here from Colombo.

- extremely nice and helpful family - good food - good location (close to rock temple, which I personally thought to be way too touristic) - had no mosquitos in room (which lacks mosquito net, though) - I recommend doing Pidurangala rock over Sigiriya

I liked everything! The room and bathroom were spacious and immaculate, there was A/C and a hot shower, and the balcony was a relaxing place to eat the delicious homemade meals. The homestay is next to a rock you can climb to take in sunrise or sunset, and it’s a 10-minute walk to the Dambulla cave temple. Best of all, Roy and his family were so kind and welcoming. Roy helped me plan a day trip to Polonnaruwa and a sunrise hike to Pidurangala Rock, and he gave me multiple rides to the bus stop. This was one of my favorite stays during my 6 months of traveling in Asia!

Pradeep is very friendly and caring. The place is super nice. You can also get a small excursion of their farm. Dinner at his place is very nice and comes with a reasonable price. He helped us organize a safari jeep as well. He makes sure everything is as hassle free for you as possible.

    Ruan was the most amazing host for this beautiful homestay. We exchanged a lot of stories and had such a great time with him and his family. They cooked amazing food for us, homegrown from their own farm and Ruan sat with us through each meal and we had great conversations with him. Loved out time there and would go back to Sri Lanka only to meet our friend again😊

    Clean bed and spacious room. The food was amazing and the host and his family were friendly and generous. The area was quiet but it was easy enough to get into Dambula town; the home stay was also very close to the cave temple and rock, an easy 15 minute walk.

    Host family are very friendly and kind. They prepared a huge breakfast for us every morning with tea and coffee. They also drove us to dinner when it was raining in their tuk tuk. There are mosquito nets over the bed. The hot water system doesn’t get super hot (which was the same in all our home stays) but it was warm. The home stay is walking distance from restaurants.

    My stay at Lake Island Home Stay in Dambulla was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived until the day I reluctantly departed, I was immersed in a paradise of tranquility and natural beauty.

    My stay at Pradeep’s homestay was absolutely wonderful. The place is beautifully located offside the busy streets in a rural area. Homemade food, a stroll through the own garden, having a nap in the hammock and a swim in the nearby river - is everything you wish for. I could have stayed for 2 weeks easily. If you are looking for a calm place to ease off, a lovely family home stay and like to experience real life in sri lanka, this is the place to go! it‘s really 12/10.
