Guesthouse vacation rentals in Dambulla

Anura made us feel at home right away - his friendly and calm personality, and delicious cooking, made it an extremely enjoyable and pleasant stay. The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were spacious.

Our stay at Bissa Villa was nothing short of perfection! Kaushi and Samitha were the perfect hosts - they helped us to arrange day trips, transport and even accommodated our off menu request of a chocolate roti! Our room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The villa’s surroundings are absolutely gorgeous - amazing plants, plenty of wildlife and right next to the railway station. I wholeheartedly recommend Bissa Villa to anyone planning to visit this part of Sri Lanka.

Had a really pleasant stay, surroundings are beautiful and the rooms are very comfortable. The hosts were helpful in arranging transport and other recommendations.

5 min drive to the Lion's rock. We loved our stay at Sisira's place. His family were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Easy and flexible check in. The food were very tasty.

Samantha and Kauchi were the perfect hosts. On arrival were were given welcome drinks and Kauchi informed us of the local attractions, including the Hurulu eco park (where we visited and saw loads of wild elephants extremely close up and virtually deserted apart from 2 jeeps), Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya and pidurangala. The room was lush, the pool cooling in the heat, and the bird life amazing! We ate traditional breakfast in the train hut whilst the train drop off people (it's a delight to watch). We also had some of the best home cooked food we tried in Sri Lanka, fresh as it can be. We felt so well looked after, cared for, and relaxed in this chilled out environment. It's virtually a deluxe homestay, but more! Their ethos of living of their land with minimal waste was inspirational. I will remember the great chats had with Kauchi who's English is excellent. Out of the 8 places we stayed in Sri Lanka over 18 days this place is equal first 🥇 place. Thank you so much everything team 🙏 x

We had a great stay at this place. The host was friendly, kind and helpful. He made us the best breakfast, gave us good tips what to do and drove us with his tuk tuk to different places. Don‘t miss the sunrise hike to pidurangala rock.

We have very much enjoyed our stay. Jayanti is a wonderful host and makes delicious breakfasts. In addition, she serves delicious tea, and you can take a cooking class with her. It was really perfect and we would recommend it to anyone. Thank you so much again Jayanti :)

We had a wonderful stay at moksha! The staff was very friendly. The food very good at soul food restaurant, lots of healthy choices and I can only recommend the cappuccino with coconut milk! The best part is the stunning view to Lions rock, even from the room

We had two nights in this beautiful place. The hosts are very friendly and flexible. You can also Rent a scooter for daytrips which is great. I recommend trying the awesome breakfast and Dinner. A very nice family and hosts.

Loved our stay. Host was friendly and helpful. He even invited us to play some music and sing karaoke with his wonderful family one of the nights. Helped us to coordinate logistics with our touristy endeavors. Would highly recommend.

Sumanasiri is an excellent host. He's very welcoming, friendly and helpful. He arranged a guide for a bicycle tour of the ancient city, cooked our breakfast and dinner and drove us to Kandy at the end of our stay. Our room was clean and comfortable and well located; walking distance to the lake and a short cycle ride to the ancient city.

Wow, what a stunning property - it is beautiful and extremely peaceful. It is a bit outside the main town, which makes it a perfect place to stay if you want to be immersed in nature and more secluded from the crowds. It is located on one of the lakes that is part of the bird sanctuary, which makes for great bird watching over breakfast. There is a beautiful view of the lake and some of the stupas from the top deck (go up to see the stupas lit up at night). Our room was lovely, spacious and very clean. We had breakfast and dinner, and all the food was fantastic - perhaps the best food we had on our trip (and I’m Sri Lankan so I have a high standard). Everyone working at the property is incredibly kind and wants to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. It was very cool to hear about the owner’s family and the way their heritage influenced the beautiful design of the property. This is such a unique stay - you really feel like you are guests in a friend’s house.

Excellent accommodation close to Sigiriya. Clean, comfortable, and beautiful surroundings. Hosts were really welcoming and provided an excellent breakfast.

We had a great time at Sumanasiris house with our two kids. Everything was perfectly clean and thoughtfully set up (bottled water, mosquito nets…). Sumanasiri was a great host. He rented us bikes and had lots of tips for activities and offered to drive us. He was also super flexible with providing meals. On one occasion we accidentally caused a mess. Even though it was completely our fault Sumanasiri offered us a different room without hesitation.

We highly recommend staying with Salinda and his family, they are very friendly and helpful, they offered us a very good breakfast and dinner, they provided equipment to wash clothes after safari, which in the way they organize at a good price, so I recommend using the service. The rooms were clean, the air conditioning worked flawlessly.

It was our first hotel in Sri Lanka and couldn’t be better! Milan helped us with an early check-in with no hesitation. The room is simple but have everything you need for that price. The location is quiet and calm and have a direct access to the lake pathway. Milan also arranged for us two tours with tuktuk to Mihintale and the Sacred City of Anuradhapura, and even one to the bus station when we had to leave. We highly recommend this place!
