Such a lovely place! Quiet, surrounded by rice fields, and breakfast in a beautiful garden. The room was comfortable and clean. The two members of staff were so helpful and arranged transport to the sites. Food was excellent. I thoroughly recommend!

We had an absolute brilliant stay! The room and surrounding is great, location to Dambulla caves are walking distance (5 min away). The host family is just amazing! Really feels like they give more that 100% to the place - so many great details in the room and the place. We also had an amazing rice and curry for dinner and also got it vegan which was awesome! Overall one of the best stays in Sri Lanka!

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!!

The stay at Pradeep's place was just amazing! It's the perfect timeout on your travel through Sri Lanka. The quiet little homestay is located within rice fields and farms. Pradeep and his parents also run their own farm, he showed us around and its very interesting. Definitely can recommend having dinner there, mom is cooking and you will not regret trying her delicious sri lankan food. You can do a daytrip to Pidurangala rock from where you have an awesome view on Sigiriya rock. Go early in the morning and you can see the sunset from there (if its not too cloudy). There also are temples you can visit. I will recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience true village life where you can calm down and still have an adventure. Thanks to Pradeep and his family and good luck with the roof top that is being built:)))

This accommodation is in an outstanding location, situated in beautiful and tranquil natural surroundings. The proximity to Dambulla's main bus station (approximately 10 minutes) was very convenient. The host family demonstrated exceptional hospitality, going above and beyond to ensure guest satisfaction. Their complimentary transportation to the temple, valuable local information, and arrangement of tuk-tuk service to the bus station were particularly appreciated. The diverse and delicious daily breakfasts, free access to refrigeration facilities, and meticulous attention to detail in room preparation (including insect prevention measures) were impressive. I sincerely hope this family will be able to expand their excellent business in the future.

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. This charming homestay is a hidden gem that offers an authentic Sri Lankan experience like no other.

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.
