Probably the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka (out of 9 places). We felt the most comfortable here – everything was nice, clean, and cozy, in a lovely location. You can walk to Lion's Rock. Great breakfast and incredibly kind owners who were always willing to help. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Nice new accommodation with the best shower in Sri Lanka so far. But the best part was the great staff that made my girlfriends birthday extra special!

We had a fabulous 3nights at Yashi's place which is set in a beautiful garden and is very quiet and relaxing. Harsha and his family are wonderful kind hosts and can help organise anything you need for transportation around Sri Lanka and booking tours etc. Each morning a very generous Sri Lankan breakfast is served with lots of variety and home cooked evening meals are available on request. We highly recommend.

We liked everything - the room, the food, the location … Breakfast is really good (and very much) and the owner also cooked dinner for us once which was also delicious. Another day they took us to Sigiriya to go to a restaurant and also picked us up again afterwards. Really nice!

Very nice operator of this homestay. Jeep tour to the elephants was very impressive. The elephant families were 5 to 10 meters away from the jeep.... Without being disturbed. He also had a few other good ideas about what to do in the area. Breakfast very good and plenty. Absolute recommendation

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 :)

Stunning views all around, friendly staff, great pool, Shana was a great host. The location was perfect for climbing Sigiriya, but was not so central that you you missed out on spending time in nature. It was great for a weekend away from Colombo seeking peace and quiet.

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.
