Eventhough this property is listed in the (2021) lonely planet, it or its owner havent lost any of their charm. Flawless place with clean rooms, a decent breakfast and a superb host. Both rocks can be reached by foot and there are plenty of food optins in the area. We would come again for sure.

Harsha and his family are super friendly hosts. He lives with his wife, mother and very cute children in a beautiful spot, very close to the main street, but far away enough from the road to be very quiet and calming. They started their homestay around 8 months ago, which means everything is still very new. The room is nice, clean and the huge bed is especially comfortabele. Harsha is still also a farmer and runs a plantation around his house filled with numerous crops. The homestay is in the middle of his impressive and very beautiful garden. We got a very nice (and affordable) cooking class from him and his friendly wife. We started by gathering the ingrediënts from the garden and Harsha can tell you a lot about them from his expertise. We ended up making delicious Sri Lankan food and learnt a lot about Sri Lankan cuisine. With all 10s in his reviews we hope to bring him and his family good fortune in the future.

We have had a lovely time at Simoya Nature Park, the hosts being lovely and very helpful. The room is beautiful and the food is delicious. We tried dinner as well, not just the breakfast on the balcony which was included and was the highlight of our stay.

Our stay was excellent. It is a must stop in Sigiryia. Owner and his family are the kindest people on this planet. They help you with anything and their hospitality is exceptional. Also we tried breakfast, lunch and dinner here and it was the best food that we tried in Sri Lanka. All for cheap price. The location is great, very close to Lions rock. 100/10 😁😁😁

Excellent staying experience!! The accomodation is quiet, close to the main bus station. The host is helpful and asked his friends to take us to another bus station on the main street twice. The hostess prepare the woderful food.The breakfast is plentiful and delicious. We couldn't finish them and didn't want to waste food. The host helped us to take them away.:) To hosts: Thank you very much and hope to have the opportunity to come back to Dambulla!!! PS, the host a bit looks like Jason Momoa :)

Two seperate ensuite bedrooms separate from their house on a quiet street. Our host was extremely hospitable and was beyond helpful. It’s a street behind a busy street so very little noise. Super cold ac, very clean rooms. Please stay to support this lovely family.

Great location and facilities, really friendly host, cute garden, yummy Sri Lankan breakfast included, room with A/C and mosquito net, quiet surrounding (only 2 rooms). I highly recommend this place. Thanks also to Manju, friend of the family, that took me everywhere in tuk tuk for a fair price :)

The property is 5-6 min walk from Cargill supermarket and 8-10 min from the city center. Perfect for a quiet stay. The premises are maintained clean. Host is very helpful, he can get you a tuk-tuk to anywhere, arrange safari or Sigiria trips or any other activities.

Great place to stay. Friendly owner, who takes care of all his guests, ensuring they enjoy the stay in his guest house and Sri Lanka. And helping to plan the visit for those who haven't yet specified their plans Place is close to the city centre but in quiet area with no traffic noise. Restaurant with delicious food available (best roti I have ever eat). Tuk tuk and taxi service available. I would recommend it for everyone who plans to visit Dambulla.
