The host was very attentive and caring, couldn’t do any more for us! The room is one of the biggest we have stayed in in our Sri Lanka trip. Lovely outside seating where the host served us a delicious breakfast. Only a 5 minutes tuk tuk ride from the main Dambulla bus stand.

Very clean and spacious room with a great view over the swimming pool and the garden and mountains The food was delicious and an outstanding breakfast. A mix of oriental and western breakfast options. The staff was super friendly and helpful There was some confusion about the beds for the children but that was also quickly resolved The swimming pool is huge and more than welcome after visiting the temples. We could have stayed much longer

I stayed at a hotel in Summerset for one night and had a very pleasant experience. The service was excellent—staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it easy to relax after a long day. Even though it was a short stay, everything met my expectations. I would definitely consider staying here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-serviced hotel in SummerSet.

I've been traveling across the world for nearly 10 years, and as a hotelier by profession, I've stayed in countless places. But in all my journeys, I have never experienced a hostel like this—one that truly cared for me like family. The owner and his wife were incredibly kind and supportive, and the lovely staffs welcomed me warmly and provided all the facilities I needed. Though I stayed for just two days, it was a moment that left a lasting mark on my heart.The room, bed, washroom, and every other facility were exceptional. Dear fellow travelers, if you're planning a trip to Dambulla(Sigiriya & Cave temple), trust me—this is the best place to stay. Now, I feel like I have a family in Sri Lanka💙 Sir, see you soon. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart🙏

    We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.

    Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. We stayed there for 4 Nights and could cover the heritage sites easily. Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.

Located at the heart of this historic region, it offers unbeatable access to some of the country’s most iconic sites.

With its central location, Dambulla is the ideal base for exploring these cultural wonders, while also providing a peaceful escape surrounded by nature. Whether you're into history, culture, or simply breathtaking landscapes, Dambulla is the best place to start your journey through Sri Lanka’s rich heritage.

    I loved everything they have amazing vibe, nothing was to much trouble . All staff kind and helpful. Dambulla is quiet but has local shops, cafes Pizza Hut, great small restaurant a few miles from Evergreen serving very good food. It's run by the people who run Evergreen. So recommended by me.. Anything you want to do or go and see will be arranged for you Tuk Tuk guy is a staff member . If you need car/driver it will be arranged.

    The staff was amazing! We visited Dambulla with the tuktuk for free and we were taken to a viewpoint for the sunset close to the hotel. We went to Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya by tuktuk for 16k and even saw an elephant on the side of the road. Food was amazing as well, expecially the dhal! Perfectly located, we took the bus on the main road to Kandy (2 hours and 270 rupees/person). The swimming pool was the icing on the cake after a long day under the sun :)

    Our favourite home stay in Sri Lanka so far. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming - with lots of cups of Sri Lankan tea and great recommendations on exploring Dambulla. They even took us to a spa near Sigiriya (also recommended) in their own time. The breakfast was delicious and filling. The homestay is located in a great part of Dambulla - close to the city but tucked away in a quiet spot. Look no further!
