The location is really nice as it is a bit away from the main toad (5min walk). The hosts are the nicest guys, which were ready to arrange everything we have asked for. They have arranged a safari in Kaudulla and then dropoff at the next hotel we were staying. They prepared us the most delicious curry and rice for dinner. Breakfast was also amazing, Srilankan’s pancakes and roti, fresh fruit and fresh juice. I recommend this hotel to everyone and we were sad that couldn’t stay for more nights.

Amazing hosts! Very friendly, warm and helpful. They showed us some places that we hadn't on our bucket list but afterwards we were glad that we saw it. Very nice rooms with beautiful furnishings, flower arrangements, wall paintings, a/c and a lot of other nice details. Really good breakfast and dinner. You need to taste. Highly recommend. We had the impression that our hosts did everything for our comfort and satisfaction and we were sad when we had to leave. We can highly recommend this place and when we come back to Sri Lanka we make a stop here for sure :))

Rooms were really beautiful and clean. The host was very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect, only few steps away from bus station and in the middle between Sigirya and Dambulla, which is perfect to easily reach both of them by bus. Around property is also a lot of greenery so it has been really nice to stay there 😊

It is not easy to find the right words to describe how I felt here. Nimal and his family made me feel home since the first moment, ready to help me or give me any advise I needed any moment. Enjoying the courtyard sharing some memory/experience with Nimal and his niece has been really special. Miss this place and you will miss the authentic Sinhalese hospitality :) Thank you, the Italian guy ❤️

    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.
