Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, the food was amazing and the grounds were very clean. It’s a little way out of town but quiet so you could get a good nights sleep.

This the best stay which you can choose in Dambulla city! The hotel is located in a walk distance from the main road between the rice fields. You will have peace and nature around you. The rooms are great and clean with all necessarcy equipment (hair dryer, hot water, towels etc.). The staff is excelent and really helpful - they will organize everything you need. It’s worth to mention about their restaurant- big portions, delicious food and great prices. If you planning to visit Sigirya/Polonnaruwa - again ask the host. They know the really nice guy with tuk tuk who transport you, show you hidden spots and tell a lot about the neighborhod. As always in a really good price.

A clean modern hotel with a huge room, quality fixtures and fittings, fully equipped with balcony, comfortable bed and an actual bath! The breakfast was massive, with a choice of either Sri Lankan or eggs, sausage and pancakes, along with fruit and toast. The hotel has a proper restaurant (unlike others that claim to) and we ate here one night. The food was delicious and plentiful, beer is available. The family are very happy and helpful, arranging tuk tuks and giving advice. Dambulla is a town without much to attract tourists, except the impressive cave temples and the international cricket stadium. The hotel is in perfect location for both by tuk tuk. Our visit coincided with an international match and the hotel is actually within walking distance of the stadium, about half an hour flat walk.

Staying at the Green Jungle was the best start we could have had in our trip in Sri Lanka. The accomdation is great, very clean, well located, but the most special part is the support and care of the host family!! They gave us great recommendations, helped us to choose the best tours and showed us their favourite sunset spot, which was fantastic. We highly recommend the Green Jungle!

This homestay is amazing! It looks just like the photos in Booking. It is clean, cozy and peaceful. The hosts are wonderful people that really made us feel as part of their family. Their breakfasts and dinners were also super tasty. The AC works perfectly. There is a balcony where you can sit and relax. The homestay is 10 min away from the Dambulla Cave Temple (walking distance). Overall, perfect place to relax, visit the area and enjoy the hosts company!!

The best thing on this accommodation are definitely the owners. So kind, so modest, happy and helpful people one would not believe. We stayed there just for one night and then we had to move to another city but the stay was nice, calm, clean and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. We could arrive after midnight and the owner welcomed us with open hands and also helped us to schedule a trip to safari, ordered a driver and that everything in couple of minutes. The next day we could leave a luggages there and come back next evening. 10/10. The owner also helped with the luggages on our way to the next bus and stayed with us till the bus arrived. Would recommend to everyone!

We wanted to feel different Sri Lanka and this place was the best choose, a must try experience. First of all because there you may get the best national food, won’t get such in any restaurant (if you get lucky try not only breakfast but also dinner, we were :) ). Second you will get a real home feeling of living in a village house, with exceptional owner, monkeys and etc. Thanks!!!
