Absolutely fantastic place, a very comfortable tree house full equiped ( nice bathroom with hot water, two double beds, fan, mosquitos nets) in the garden. Tasty breakfast from local sources included. Family mood, very nice and friendly owners who are ready to answer all your question about the orientation in Dambulla and the neighborhoods. Perfect location for discovering Dambulla rock temples and Sigiriya Rock. I recommend it, in this tree house you are going to feel like in a fairy tale.

It was clean and nice. Beds were comfortable and because the hostel is a bit further away from the city, you can get good night sleep!

Everything was perfect! It was such a wonderful place to start our trip. The food was absolutely delicious, and the rooms were super comfortable. The bar was such a cozy and fun spot to hang out, and the staff were incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. The cooking class is also an absolute must-do and highly recommended. We’ll definitely come back again!

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.

This place was just awesome! Clean bedroom and bathroom, peaceful and quiet surrounded by nature, cute dogs who are well-treated, yummy breakfast. Hammock was a big win. As a solo female traveller, Diwa made me feel safe and welcome, and helped me to plan my itinerary. He also took me on a tour which was very informative. Highly recommend.

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.
