Very friendly hosts, good food, including breakfast which was cheap. The location is great if you wanna stay in a more quiet place, a bit away from the town but close to the impressive temple! I had a really good stay.

The place is very simple and beautiful. Malshi and his family are really lovely. If you want some peace and quiet away from the noise of the city, this is the place for you.

The staff was great, they were helpful in recommendations, giving me rides everywhere and just a general good service! The breakfast was good, they don't offer dinner yet but took me to a place closeby. The room was clean, bathroom aswell. The shower was cold though. The bed was equipped with a mosquito net. Overall really good stay for the price and kindness. Would recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The room was amazing - super spacious and so comfortable - we even extended an extra night. It felt like we were in a safari lodge! It was so quiet and peaceful. The staff are also amazing and the meals were incredible! Thank you!

I booked this place last minute and wow… what a surprise. It’s not just a bed—it’s a whole vibe. It’s clean, cozy, safe, and bursting with traveler energy. Every night felt like a new memory. One of those spots you want to gatekeep… but can’t, because it’s too good.

We had a wonderful stay at this hostel! The place is impeccably clean and well-maintained, making it feel like a home away from home. The host is incredibly friendly and helpful, always going out of his way to ensure a pleasant stay and offering great tips for local attractions. The traditional breakfast served each morning was absolutely delicious – a perfect start to the day! The hostel is located in a peaceful area, offering a calm and relaxing atmosphere, yet still close enough to everything you need. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and quiet place to stay. We would definitely come back!

All hostels in Dambulla

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
