Dambulla hoteles

Ventajas: Everything was top quality. Food, room, value and service.

Desventajas: The road to the hotel needs better indications. Our driver got lost and Google Maps struggles in remote areas.

Ventajas: The lake location takes you away from the hustle and bustle outside in Dambulla. Very close to all the major attractions as well. They couldn’t do enough for us.

Desventajas: Nothing

Desventajas: Staff at the spa needs more motivation and education for massages.

Ventajas: Excellent food and comfortable modern rooms in fantastic surroundings. Staff is very professional and child-friendly. The complimentary nature tours were the highlight for our son.

Desventajas: N/a

Ventajas: Good property and nice rooms. The bathroom and views is absolutely worth the money.

Desventajas: The water including drinking was smelling of chlorine.

Ventajas: Location was good and Facilities were ok, Need more variety in food.

Desventajas: Nothing much for Kids to do , They should put more entertainment for small ones.

Ventajas: Friendly & accomodating staff, nice food, comfortable bed, big balcony, cool washrooms everything was just perfect! Initially we booked breakfast but then decided to leave early for sunrise tour to Pidurangala so requested the staff to change breakfast into dinner & they agreed without any hesitation :) Loved their eco friendly toileteries.. Highly recommended..

Desventajas: Location.. a bit off road.. There was nothing about this resort that we disliked! Actually we couldnt spend much time there due to our tight schedule the only part that we disliked...

Desventajas: I was in a triple room. Bath room was a glass door which suits for a couple. This was bit uncomfortable.

Ventajas: Grandísimo personal. Educado, atento, siempre pendiente.

Ventajas: La piscina, las vistas y el desayuno excelente. La amabilidad del personal

Ventajas: El entorno del hotel es magnífico, como es el hotel en sí. Las habitaciones son estupendas. El personal era excelente. El precio del desayuno era de primera. Ojalá nos hubiéramos quedado más tiempo.

Ventajas: The location, the fact that it is in the middle of the jungle.

Desventajas: It didn't seem like a 5 star hotel. The room wasn't as clean and the bathroom was definitely not cleaned, it looks like they haven't used limescale remover in ages. Those bathrooms needed a deep deep clean, especially the jacuzzi. Also, the beds weren't 5 star hotel level comfortable. I expected more.

Ventajas: Everything

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: - 100% Eco Friendly Resort - The hotel views are amazing - Breakfasts, lunches and dinners were all super delicous and fresh - Gym and pool facilities were 5 star - Staff were mostly friendly and helpful - The hotel recruits, trains and employs people from the local village - Customer Relations team are amazing, our one complaint made was dealt with promptly and professionally

Desventajas: - Rooms are a little tired. Eg... Air conditioners in the rooms are pretty loud as they are old (can't use them when you sleep) and the bathroom had a strong damp smell (air freshener from the local store purchased for $1.00 helped alot)

Ventajas: Environment and swim pools

Ventajas: Ubicación espectacular, personal amable y buen desayuno. El hotel estaba muy limpio y tuvimos una estancia de 10

Desventajas: Nada

Ventajas: Great location, amazing view and pool over lake is a must do. Hotel clean where good place to relax in middle of monkeys, squirrels and nature. Hotel has so much potential but not exploited at its best.

Desventajas: Staff does minimum to answer and help but would have expected more for such a nice place. Restaurant with good food but too bad no table outside to enjoy nice weather.

Ventajas: Eco friendly Hotel. Lovely views. Service impeccable. Breakfast fabulous

Desventajas: Toilet leaked. Rooms could do with a bit of a update

Ventajas: El entorno, la calidad del hotel, los servicios, es un hotel muy recomendable.

Ventajas: The design of the hotel is unique, every detail is thought of. The room was very large and with monkeys climbing by the windows. Huge selection for breakfast and nice staff

Desventajas: Nothing at all, this is the perfect place!

Ventajas: View was lovely.

Desventajas: Not family friendly. Pools not family friendly.

Ventajas: outstanding location with monkeys jumping outside of your window. great views on the lake and nice swimming pool. extremely interesting architecture with building built directly on the rocks.

Desventajas: dirty jacuzzi, hotel looks generally nice, but there is some capex and repairs and maintenance backlog that should be taken care of. The interior (both common space and rooms) very dark. The hotel should invest in interior designer to make it look more like 21st century.

Ventajas: Room had stunning view of the lake and Sigiriya Rock. Buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner had an excellent and ever changing choice of food. The lady running the boutique was charming and the choice of sarong skirts was good. Infinity pool has stunning views. Conference pool good to swim in. All the staff were helpful and charming. Spa.

Desventajas: Too busy at the weekend with lots of screaming children which spoilt our ability to relax. They took over in the pool, central cafe area and even the bar. Formal restaurant soulless although the service was good and we enjoyed our fish. We are food fanatics and found the choice of dishes in the formal restaurant very strange and largely unappealing. The gym is unsupervised and my daughters were most concerned about children under the age of 10 coming in and playing on the equipment causing danger to themselves and others. The rooms are tired - bathrooms need updating. Lack of sockets to charge modern devices very irritating. Hotel needs an overhaul. Sun loungers are grotty. Would strongly recommend developing an area for kids and having an adult only pool/bar area.

Ventajas: Everything is perfect, especially people here, so kindly and warm. Breakfast and dinner , you can tell the hostess, she will do as good as you want.

Ventajas: It was so good. They cooked dinner for me and gave a beer. And told me many tips for my trip. I was alone so very helpful. The power of the shower was fully satisfied. Thank you so much.

Ventajas: - they are just the sweetest people you’ll ever meet - delicious breakfast - AC in rooms - pretty garden view - great price - clean - parking area

Desventajas: - walls were thin

Ventajas: We had the best hosts in Sri Lanka right here - Shan inn Dambulla. Breakfast was amazing and their advices where to go and what to avoid. They did everything to make us feel as home. Thank you so much. Hvala! Bohoma istuti!

Ventajas: Very nice and clean room, with beautiful and quiet garden. Really helpful staff. I think it's the most caring staff in Sri Lanka. They provided us with everything, from food to trips.

Desventajas: We were short time.

Ventajas: The owner was so helpful! She helped us organise a safari and visit to the temples, as well as booking a last minute tuk tuk for our onward travel. She speaks perfect English and is always around if you have questions. Thanks again! The location is very good if you want to visit the cave temple and great to catch the bus for Trincomalee or Kandy. Great WiFi and mosquito net We had breakfast and dinner there and both were very good! To summarize, great value

Desventajas: No hot water

Ventajas: The owners were very friendly. Nice and clean rooms.

Ventajas: This place was a life saver after I had checked into a different place that turned out to be awful. Dambulla Shan Inn was very clean with good A/C and hot water. Breakfast was nice and prepared in a large clean kitchen. Staff was very helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Ventajas: Lo mejor de alojarnos aquí fue la amabilidad y el buen trato de Chaturi. Es muy simpática. Nos sentimos en todo momento como en familia, en casa. Tanto ella como su marido nos aconsejaron y ayudaron en todo lo que les pedimos. La habitación estaba muy bien, con una buena relación calidad-precio, y la comida y desayuno también. Alquilamos una moto a través de ellos para movernos por los alrededores, pero se puede ir a pie perfectamente al Templo del Buda de Oro y a las Cuevas de Dambulla. También nos detuvieron el autobús para ir a Kandy en la puerta del hotel y nos consiguieron asientos reservados en el bus con aire acondicionado. ¡Definitivamente si volviéramos a Dambulla nos alojaríamos con Chaturi!

Ventajas: La atención de los anfitriones, para mi es lo que hace este sitio especial.

Desventajas: El ruido de los animales por las noches.

Ventajas: We were very happy with the conditions and value for money. Very close to temples. Great garden and terrace. Good (hot) shower.

Desventajas: -

Ventajas: The food! Dinner and breakfast was superb. The hospitality was amazing as well. Airconditioning works perfectly and the room was clean.

Desventajas: Shower was a bit cold, but refreshing after a hot day. Bit noisy at night, close to the main road and barking dogs from neighbours.

Ventajas: Incredible location, feels completely isolated but is close enough to the main sights around Dambulla. Lovely staff!

Ventajas: Great resort, extremely nice staff, really helpful. Beautiful pool...Very good place for bird-watching!

Ventajas: This is such an incredible property. Set on 106 acres, it is a working organic farm, set amidst lakes, waterways and canals. You’ll find loads of birdlife (peacocks, storks, cranes and more), plus monkeys, water monitors and more. The hotel has bikes so you can leisurely cycle around, or use it as a base for Sigiriya which is only 45 mins away. The food is also incredible and much of that is due to the chef, who is on hand to cook up anything you’re up for. In fact all of the staff are absolutely wonderful and happy to help in any way. We highly recommend this beautiful and peaceful property!

Ventajas: Great grounds, growing most of their vegetables. Delicious food cooked with those locally produced ingredients. Good and reasonably priced wine selection. Great acommodating staff. Very comfortable and spacious rooms. Very quiet.

Desventajas: Our driver struggled finding it as it is a but out of the way.

Ventajas: The staff were incredibly attentive. The chef is so generous and offers to cook things not on the menu. Beautiful setting. Absolutely magical experience. The staff and setting were both wonderful.

Desventajas: Nil

Ventajas: Amazing property. Architecture of each room is unique and great focus on nature with animal conservation areas within the property! Very large area for just a few rooms. Surprisingly close to Dambulla. Felt like you were deep in rural Sri lanka when you were in fact only 15 minutes away from the nearest town

Ventajas: The landscaping and the architecture is amazing

Desventajas: nothing

Ventajas: A unique hotel with a wonderful setting, surrounded by nature (and tasteful architecture to fit in). Food was excellent (we had the rice and curry twice and there were so many great dishes that we couldn't even finish it despite stuffing ourselves) and staff were very attentive (although possibly helped by the fact that there weren't many other guests at the time - apparently there were some cancellations.)

Desventajas: We wish there had been more vegetarian options on the menu. Although it was of course possible to modify existing options, why not give more choices in the first place? Especially odd given the ethos of the place, with many vegetables grown on the property and the fact veggie food is so prevalent elsewhere in Sri Lanka.

Ventajas: Staff, the most excellent food ever

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Wow - could not have imagined a more incredible experience. This will go down as one of our most memorable (and favourite) hotels EVER. From the moment you arrive you are surrounded by nature, and all the "busy-ness" of modern life gets left at the gate. It was just what we needed! We stayed in one of the new 2 person chalets, and it was worth every bit extra. We had monkeys and birds waking us in the morning, which was just such a treat. We spent hours exploring the grounds, kayaking, swimming - surprisingly we didn't feel the need to leave the Retreat at all. If you are thinking about booking - do it.. you won't regret it!

Desventajas: The only suggestion would be that the dinner options could better reflect the quality of the retreat, the Sri Lankan banquet was wonderful - however, the other dinner options could have been better. (They were nice - just could take the experience to a whole new level!)

Ventajas: Good location to reach Sigirya & Dambulla. Large rooms, which were nice & private. Good to have access to Signature restaurant & pool (premium above normal Amaya Lake), although the wine was expensive & not very good.

Desventajas: It said the room has Lake views but it didn't. Part of a large "resort" which we're not as keen on. Shower wasn't clean to start with but they sorted this out quickly. Also didn't enjoy being forced to pay for the New Year Gala dinner (expensive & not great).

Ventajas: Las instalaciones son espectaculares. La piscina más cerca del lago rodeada de árboles es una delicia. Puedes acercarte al lado y ver multitud de aves.

Desventajas: En la recepción, nada más llegar intentaron añadirnos fuera de factura un recargo por ser dos personas, cuando mi reserva en booking ya era para dos personas. Lo más sangrante fue que quisieran aplicarnos un tipo de cambio rupia / eur casi un 10% superior ( el tipo de cambio oficial para comprar rupias el día 28/08/2018 era 181 LKR/1€ y ellos hacian 172 LKR/1€ ver foto de la pantalla de tipos de cambio que muestran en recepción). En todo momento los camareros te remarcan que lo que estás pidiendo tiene un recargo: "-a cofee? It is 3 extra € madam", "water you have to pay 1.6€ madam"," beer, you have to pay 4€, madam"... Tuve la incomoda sensación, de tener que pagar por todo. Razón por la cual decidimos no alargar nuestra estancia allí. Creo que es algo salvable tan fácilmente cómo poniendo una carta o un menú encima de las mesas del restaurante,

Ventajas: The room was very comfortable and the grounds were immaculate. Staff at the restaurant were very helpful.

Desventajas: The location was out of the way so there was no alternative but to eat at the resort. Buffet didn’t suit us so we ate at the restaurant. The food was ok.

Ventajas: The location was amazing really beautiful location right by the lake and the swimming pool was nice

Desventajas: The staff where extremely rude, possibly because I am indian , and partner is European so it was talked about very often I’ve stayed 5 star all over the world and I feel I pay good money so staff can keep there options to them selves not in this situation though when my parter wasn’t around I was questioned by staff as to why I would not date a Sri lanken or indian man

Ventajas: Todo. Piscinas, personal, habitaciones.

Ventajas: The staff went out of their way to help and the location

Desventajas: Food was average, Amenities in the room dud not function (Jacuzzi did not work)

Ventajas: Good service, good room, excellent grounds, good food. This is a good hotel where people really care about providing good service. Good location. Dambulla Caves and Sirigyra were easily accessible from this hotel.

Desventajas: Food was expensive. 15 dollars return to Dambulla by tuk tuk.

Ventajas: It was natural place to stay us, very silent and very carm,we both enjoyed. Thank you giving good place to us

Desventajas: Nothing to informe you

Ventajas: The service by the staff is fantastic. The food is amazing.

Desventajas: Sometimes there are corporate events that can get a bit loud. However these rarely can be heard from the rooms, but is definitely a nuisance if you are in the garden or the restaurant.

Desventajas: They put Lake View suite but that is fake because you can not see the lake at all from the resort. Management is lack of attention to guests request. When we raised our complaint, they just ignore and do not willing to offer the discount. I would recommend you to stay somewhere else because it is not worth to stay at this resort. It is just old, tired and nothing special in this resort. Don’t trust the selling keyword for lake resort, because you would not feel that at all. All the rooms are located so far from lake and there is no any activity or facility that located next to the lake. It is just nothing related with the lake, so you better find other hotel with the better location.

Ventajas: No words to say... its a amazing stay which i ever had...all the things are perfect,, i highly recommended this place

Ventajas: The breakfast buffet was ok but not up to former standards. We liked the location and tranquility which is why we returned. The staff, in particular the concierge were keen to please.

Desventajas: We informed the hotel about our precise time of arrival, yet when we arrived at 10 pm the room was not prepared as usual. No AC on. The heat at present is at its worst and we had to wait for over an hour for the AC to cool a very large room. The fridge wasn’t working and despite reminders was never fixed. Fortunately we had a second room as was traveling with family. The food was not up to standard. The room service menu was almost identical to the Sanctuary restaurant. Pizza was substandard as was other items ordered. The price definitely does not reflect the quality of food. We returned on account of a super previous experience at Sanctuary where yoga classes were on offer. The information on check in was very poor. Apparently it’s the end of the season hence the limited services. The price certainly didn’t reflect this.

Ventajas: Heavenly environment, Very calm

Ventajas: Staff was very friendly. The place was neat and clean

Desventajas: Bugs in the bathroom

Ventajas: Friendly staff. Especially Nishankar (Restaurent Supervisor) was very helpful and guided us properly. Spa was awesome and the service provided by the spa staff was excellent and professional. Sorry i dont remember her name. Location was perfect. Calm and quiet. Highly recommended.

Desventajas: We didnt have phone signal much and the wifi connection was very poor. Bath tub wasnt there and Iron was not provided but we were asked to give to the laundry which would take hours and it closes after 6pm.

Ventajas: The pool

Ventajas: View, place is quiet, gym , pool & gym available, housekeeping is good amenities are replenished

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: The staff are brilliant, friendly, very helpful.

Desventajas: Initially our room was very tired, damp & needs a renovating. luckily they upgraded us to a better room which was great.

Ventajas: The staff were friendly and caring

Desventajas: Absolute rip off and solely set up for taking money from tourists

Ventajas: all are good

Desventajas: well coming bagging survives.

Ventajas: Architecture

Desventajas: Driver complained about bugs in their rest rooms.

Ventajas: Rooms are large, air con worked and everything kept very clean

Desventajas: Quite far out so nothing much near by but good views

Ventajas: Ha sido nuestra primera noche en Sri Lanka y la verdad que no tenemos una sola queja. El complejo en mitad d ela naturaleza consta de muchas casitas donde la habitación es muy grande y la cama más aún. Todo está muy limpio y cuidado y la amabilidad del personal comenzando por Chamara es excepcional. Siempre están pendientes de ti y de que esté todo bien. El buffet en la cena también está bien y a buen precio lo cual se agradece ya que nos hay muchos lugares cerca para salir a cenar :).... y además, tienen alojamientos para conductores lo cual también es un detalle cuando te mueves como nosotros por la isla. P.D. Hasta nos trajeron unas frutas partidas y unos chocolates por la tarde a la habitación

Desventajas: Está un poco lejos del pueblo de dambulla. Nosotros llevábamos conductor pero yendo por libre no llegas allí en todo el dia

Ventajas: I liked everything about this hotel, the environment, the tents everything was just great. if you like nature, definitely you will like this hotel. I stayed in Rangiri Dambulla resort only for one night, but I am sure that i will visit Sri Lanka again and I will stay in this hotel at least for a couple of days.

Desventajas: There were no person on arrival at the reception. Hotel security has to run around to find the person. Once he came, implied that he is busy for about 5 mts and told us that room is ready, but have to wait for 20 mts as it should prepare. Once we came again after 20 mts, I was asked to make the payment before I get the room key and told that the balance will be taken to the room, but never appeared until we check out on the following morning. No responsible person was there in the reception or in the hotel to collect the balance or to check the rooms before check out. Finally I told the security guy who was roaming around the kitchen that we are checking out. This was the service the hotel staff provided for the local guests.

Ventajas: Environment

Desventajas: Not organized. You have to ask to get things normally available in a hotel. Chef need improvement You do not get value for what you pay for food

Ventajas: Las cabañas son muy bonitas y el personal atento.

Desventajas: Algo caro y el desayuno un poco triste.

Ventajas: Great place with very friendly staff. Food is served as a buffet and is always varied. Rooms are to a reasonable good standard.

Desventajas: Confusion over booking and room type but after showing the reception manager the room we had actually booked, he agreed for us to sleep in this room. In the middle of forest so expect bugs and small animals.

Ventajas: Nice, quiet location. Lovely pool and garden.

Desventajas: Food ok but average, catering for the western tourist

Ventajas: The staff were very helpful and friendly The chalets were rather unique

Desventajas: The road in to the resort was a little uneven which made it difficult to drive a low car into The bathroom of the chalet I was in had a bit of a smell from the pipes but faint enough to ignore

Ventajas: A relaxing place with a herbal garden and in between farm-fields. The food in the restaurant is great and the staff very friendly.

Ventajas: Very peaceful

Desventajas: I liked it all! Yes

Ventajas: We had a relaxing and comfortable stay at Rangiri Dambulla Resort. We absolutely loved the personalised experience in particular from Lahiru who went above and beyond to help us and make us feel welcome. The Swiss tent was clean and spacious and very good air conditioning. The bed was extra large which was great as we had our child sharing with us. The pool and surroundings (herb garden) were lovely too. Highly recommend, especially for families.

Desventajas: The restaurant mainly offered buffet food for breakfast and dinner. In saying that the chef was accommodating on our last night a prepared us a special Sri Lankan rice and curry.

Ventajas: Amabilidad del personal. Desayuno y cena muy buenos.

Desventajas: Quizás le falta algo de mantenimiento

Ventajas: The place is tranquil and very serene. Staff are very helpful and organized our trip to Sigriiya.

Desventajas: They charged our credit card although when booking we were told that we could pay in cash at the resort

Ventajas: Buffet breakfast . Nature

Ventajas: Lovely setting. The room was very large and comfortable. The staff we’re very friendly,

Ventajas: Tenia piscina agradable. Personal educado. Habitaciones amplias.

Desventajas: Menú escaso y de poca calidad. Pocas opciones de ocio al rededor.

Ventajas: "We loved our stay at Dambulla Sigiriya. Only 20 minutes away from Dambulla Caves. The staff were fantastic and we had some of the best food on whole trip here. When we come back to Sri Lanka we will definitely come back to visit!”

Ventajas: “Great Hotel for stay. its newly opened our room and everything was very smooth . Breakfast was delicious . and swimming pool was a plus. Excellent service and attention from the hotel manager was great. good luck with the hotel for future.”

Ventajas: “Excellent service, amazing location, quiet, very comfortable. good wi-fi, The pool is beautiful and excellent breakfast ,Sri Lankan curry at dinner is delicious.” We are coming soon.......... agin Nice Place.

Ventajas: Room was lovely and spacious. Large buffet to choose from.

Desventajas: Wifi in the rooms as was only available in the lobby

Ventajas: The beautiful pool area and our lovely tree house. Deepika on reception had the most welcoming smile and assisted us with all our needs.

Desventajas: Little bit scared of the monkeys

Ventajas: This is the best hotel in Sigiriya and Dambulla region. Amazing hotel. Everyone should stay here at this hotel at least once In a life time.

Ventajas: Amazing staff, friendly, accommodating every need, food was excellent, ambience throughout the stay including small and intimate new years eve fireworks display! The attention to detail, it was my birthday before arrival at the hotel the next night at dinner the manager arranged for the staff to bring out a cake and sang happy birthday, was a surprise but shows how attentive to individual guests, this made my trip to Arika Villa even more special!! The Arika is small but has soooo much character with the beautiful stream running round the hotel grounds, so peaceful and tranquil after a long day out and about visiting the sites it is a welcome place to return to with the amazing cook Ahmed making some excellent dishes from lamb cutlets with turkey (new years dinner) to traditional Sri Lanka curry dishes, that were really tasty. The hotel will arrange on request trips to Pidurangala & Sigiriya Rock (I had the pleasure of the manager Nishandra) accompany me at 4:30AM to see the most amazing sunrise, spectacular and well worth the early wake up!! Also very close by Dambulla Cave Temple. Cannot say enough great things about this remarkable hotel/villa and would recommend to all, take a trip to Dambulla and enjoy the Arika Villa staff and surroundings!!! Fabulous Thanks to all the staff especially Nishandra (who I am still in contact with since arriving back to UK) for making my birthday, the end of 2018 and the start of 2019 the most unforgettable time!! You guys rock!!!!!

Desventajas: NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT - SERIOUSLY!!!

Ventajas: The decoration was really nice. I absolutely loved the shower on the ground floor room. Beautiful

Desventajas: There was a buzzing sound coming from the electricity box the whole night which was a bit annoying. The staff were super friendly on arrival but disappeared completely when we checked out. There was no coffee with milk, only black coffee

Ventajas: I really loved the peaceful location and beautiful pool area. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were really friendly and caring. Everyone seemed to really care that we were having a good time. As we were there over Sri Lankan New Year, the hotel provided a special meal and celebration afternoon - it was really special!

Desventajas: Overall everything was great! We would have loved to have seen more Sri Lankan food on the menu though.

Ventajas: Very friendly staff, very clean, spacious room with all the amenities you need, good wi-fi, delicious food.

Ventajas: The hotel is like a small oasis in the middle of the jungle. It offers everything you need and the host and staff are very friendly and helpful. A good location to make daily trips to the ancient sites and natural parks.

Ventajas: the scenery.Kitchen staff are good

Desventajas: Wifi could not work for 2 days Distance to the town Price value relationship not good. Expensive considering I live in asia

Ventajas: Hotel en perfecto estado . Personal de 10!!! Restaurante increible !

Ventajas: It was an oasis of tranquillity. The staff, food and facilities were amazing!

Ventajas: Friendly and attentive staff Good food Comfy bed At the moment there are some adorable puppies living near the villa! Drinking water cooler downstairs that you can refill bottles from There’s a tandem bicycle that you can borrow and take for a spin in the village if you’re feeling adventurous

Ventajas: the size of the room

Desventajas: bad service. the rate of the hotel is not 5 star. it is barely 3 star. the hotel has only 5 staff !!

Ventajas: La habitación amplia y estupenda . Los empleados agradables. El hotel está un poco aislado de Dambula.

Desventajas: Cuidado con el precio! Anuncian un precio cuando reservas pero cuando vas a pagar se acumulan más de 30% de cargas suplementarias y el desayuno no está incluido. Al final este hotel resulta caro .

Ventajas: - the room we had (108) had a nice little balcony in the back facing a small stream. We saw lots of monkeys throughout the day. There are high ceilings and the room is very spacious and clean. - the staff were all excellent, super friendly and attentive. They are the stars of this place. - nice small pool to relax and chill

Desventajas: - This place was simply overpriced in every sense be it the breakfast, rooms or dinner. To charge what they do and not include breakfast (at least in our case) was ridiculous. We had to pay extra every day for breakfast for all 3 nights we stayed. When adding all the tax on the food, it came quite high and basically cost more than staying an additional night. - Breakfast and dinner are overpriced and not value for money. The food is just ok nothing else. Nothing to rave about. - All the prices on the food menu did not mention that these were excluding tax. Once checkout came everything cost an additional 25% more. - the water from the shower area kept flowing into the rest of the bathroom due to its bad construction. The shower head was also a bit old and was hard to get the rainshower to head to work as the handle was loose and would not work. - the room. although nice and spacious, was very dark - wifi was average at best - although the balcony in the back was a nice touch, we could not use it at night as it was swarmed with mosquitos. - the hotel, room and restaurant lacked any character, atmosphere or charisma. A rather uninspiring place to stay. - The restaurant area was just odd. It's basically a small square room with sliding glass doors that feels more like a showroom rather than a restaurant. Not somewhere I would rush to stay again especially since there are much nicer places to stay in the area.

Ventajas: La piscina es espectacular. Es súper tranquilo y puedes disfrutar de unas vistas preciosas.

Ventajas: Great location, beautiful spacious rooms and very kind service at the reception. Very nice pool.

Desventajas: Service in the restaurant (a la carte) was quite slow, both evenings. We had to wait for way to long to get our food, which was good. Personnel at the restaurant was not particularly gentle.

Ventajas: Great

Ventajas: I like the ambience and scenery at the resort.

Desventajas: Bed sheets were not very clean and the blanket was very thin.

Ventajas: Everything was good

Desventajas: Food might be improved because it is not enough for the money what we pay. More fruits and potion should be bit more larger.

Ventajas: Everything Staff very helpful. Would definitely recommend

Desventajas: Bath towels need to be renewed. Old looking

Ventajas: Super friendly staff, clean rooms, pool beside the padi fields.

Desventajas: Mosquitos were there at the bar or restaurant area.

Ventajas: A dream place in the middle of nature! Absolutely stunning hotel with an eye for details. The staff is very professional and friendly. They organize trips if wanted (e.g. a private driver to the cave temples, Sigiriya rock or a safari tour). The rooms are nice and clean. The food is either served as buffet or a la carte. We also had a massage in the Ayurveda spa which was really good. All in all, we highly recommend the hotel!

Ventajas: El hotel es precioso, una piscina increíble. La comida estaba buena un poco picante. Las habitaciones son cómodas.

Desventajas: Fuimos de luna de miel y no tuvieron un detalle con nosotros y lo indicamos en la reserva, no entendemos porque, si solo éramos dos familias en el hotel....

Ventajas: We enjoyed our two night stay at this quiet resort. The pool is wonderful, overlooking beautiful views of mountains and rice fields. The grounds were immaculate and the buffet food was plentiful. Staff were friendly, attentive and the room was very comfortable. Take some time to walk the grounds to discover a cricket pitch, a variety of fruit and nut trees and lovely ponds teeming with fish, frogs and lilies.

Desventajas: Any transportation requests through the hotel received a ridiculously hefty mark up. You can easily find affordable tuk tuks to Sigiriya, Dambulla Cave Temple and surrounds the moment you step outside of the resort. Plus, it’s a good way to share your tourist dollars and support the locals. Despite the diverse clientele, food choices were very oriented to western tastes (lots of breads, muffins and “pizza”) which is a pity for anyone wishing to enjoy delicious Sri Lankan cuisine. There was some on offer, but it was very limited and not too memorable. No lunch on offer, assuming most guests remain out on tours for this time, but for those just doing their own thing, you’re very much stuck for food choices at the one restaurant, which only serves breakfast and dinner from 7-9 am/pm.

Ventajas: Value for money. The room was spacious and clean, however the balcony had only 1 chair which seemed to be pointless coz mostly couples occupy the rooms.We got a fast and early check-in, the staff at the reception are were courteous.

Desventajas: The staff Restaurant staff need a lot of training. Had to call the restaurant several times to get a room service menu and the waiter who brought in the menu acted unprofessional and a tad bit rude when talking. The restaurant messed up our order and we had to call 2times to get the completed dish according to the menu. Also the person who answered the phone in the restaurant acted as if we made the mistake. At the check-in we were told that the pool closes at 9.30pm but the pool attendant came and said that the pool was closed around 9-9.10. When we asked for pool towels they said they will try to get towel as the towels are at the laundry. The property which was built nicely seemed to be run down due to lack of proper maintenance. All the ponds were very dirty. Our room’s air conditioning was malfunctioning and the maintenance team couldn’t fix it properly, we finally managed to fix it by ourselves. This is not a hotel that we will visit again unless we run out of other options.

Ventajas: Ubicacion excelente y muy agradable

Ventajas: Staff here is very friendly and they are like family

Desventajas: It's decent yet to improve.

Ventajas: Little bit far from city central,but very quiet and comfortable hostel.very good staff are there too. I used this hostel twice.

Ventajas: Location is good for visiting the temple, close to a bus stop to/from Trincomalee & Kandy; this accommodation is more like a homestay-basic but with everything you need; you get a towel; water and tea is complimentary; pets

Desventajas: Para usar el wifi tienes que ir a la piscina, a la habitación no llegaba bien

Ventajas: Staff were very friendly and helpful, bed was comfortable, near to Dambula cave temple. Breakfast was simple but okay.

Desventajas: Room was not the same as shown in pictures, quite small. Bit disappointing , hotel and room look bit tired and dusty. We got disturbed every time guest next door went out or came in as they had to bang the door hard to close it. Did not use the pool.

Ventajas: Nice poolarea

Desventajas: The meny in the restaurant was a bit booring

Ventajas: Perfect for a night, the pool was great with the poolside bar seats, there’s not much to do around the area apart from the caves and the rock - the hotel was in close proximity to both. Breakfast was good. A nice stay

Ventajas: The staff are all very lovely, bed was comfy.

Desventajas: Unfortunately the staff are really the only good thing this place has to be honest. The place is in major need of some TLC, it’s very outdated and dirty, the room is tidied every day but not cleaned we had ants all in the bathroom along with lots of dead ants on the wall which remained the whole three days, the toilet was leaking into the shower which is probably unhygienic thinking back. The overall bill for food etc was just astronomical due to the service charge on literally everything which we feel should be something you should approve in this hotel. I feel a little for the workers here because I don’t think it is their fault as they are really trying and put in a lot of effort. It’s the overall expense into maintenance that’s lacking.

Ventajas: Buena atencion del servicio.

Desventajas: Habia hormigas en el lavabo

Ventajas: Friendly staff

Desventajas: Food was terrible and very expensive when compared with the standards in Sri Lanka. The hotel, although reasonable clean does need a lot of refreshment. The picture are far more better than reality. The place is actually tiny.

Ventajas: Rooms on the back are good size, confortable and well equipped. Good location. Food was really good.

Desventajas: Service at the restaurant/bar could be improved.

Ventajas: The friendliness of staff and the restaurant. Breakfast and diner were good.

Desventajas: Rooms are outdated and need update

Ventajas: The pool was great, the staff were kind and helpful and packed a takeaway breakfast before our early morning visit to Sigiria Rock. It was very close to restuarants and Dambulla Caves The beds were very comfy

Desventajas: The service was a little relaxed when we arrived. It took a bit of time before staff attended reception and openned the gate for our vehicle to enter the premise The water pressure was not that great

Ventajas: Environment, friendly staff

Desventajas: Limited food, not a 5-star quality hotel. Very small pool

Ventajas: Beatiful garden and surrounding nature, friendly helpful staff, good restaurant.

Ventajas: Hospitality of the staff.

Ventajas: The extensive gardens & the dining area/furniture - a 100 year old Mara tree growing out of the centre of the restaurant! Our room was very spacious in the three storey tower block & was extremely clean - & there was a bath! The air conditioning unit was efficient & quiet. Lanka & Dayawansa looked after us very well & were always anxious to please.

Desventajas: The western style meals we had in the evenings were poor. Fixed price of 5 U.S. dollars every course no matter what you chose!

Ventajas: Great service could do enough for us

Desventajas: Evening meal expensive

Ventajas: Loves the gardens and peaceful ambience , large rooms and an attentive staff. The checking in can be faster and easier but the owner Frank and the staff made our day with some live music at dinner on our last day and we had a memorable time.

Desventajas: Nothing not to like but I think it’s a bit expensive and the food also while cooked fresh could be chargeable on a higher side Room service can improve. Wifi can be faster.

Ventajas: Very competitive pricing - lower than most in the Dambullah/Sigiriya area at this 4* level - and the rooms are exceptionally clean and in good condition with loads of space. Prakash is also very attentive in terms of service in the restaurant too.

Desventajas: The location is quite a distance to the South of Dambullah and a long way from Sigiriya - 45 minutes by tuk-tuk. Although this is compensated for by the very competitive price, the food is too expensive for what it is (15$ for dinner) and options nearby are limited. The swimming pool area is also limited.

Ventajas: Stayed here for 2 nights. The checkin was quick and the place is a candy store for nature lovers. The garden is beautiful with well maintained bushes and lawn. The stream running behind the property is the cherry on the cake. Sameer was an excellent host and the food was just delicious . The rooms were clean , huge and well maintained. Definitely recommend this place.

Ventajas: The surrounding was beautiful. The lake with the lotus flowers is exceptional. It is a wonderful place nice to relax and enjoy the nature.

Ventajas: Very good personal Very good location Big pool Thanks for our holidays

Ventajas: The lake. Breakfast. Staff. Environment.

Desventajas: Doors scraped loudly. Shower not the best.

Ventajas: The surroundings and scenery in the vicinity of the resort. The staff was helpful in arranging transport to visit attractions in Dambulla and providing insights on other locations to visit. I had left back my mobile charger and a staff member provided both his power bank and charger. PS - Ask for the lime juice

Desventajas: The bathroom had a terrible smell, the food was not great. We didn't try the breakfast

Ventajas: The free upgrade excellent location beautiful pool totally worth the money

Desventajas: Bring your own alcohol

Ventajas: Staff were friendly

Desventajas: The takeaway dinner was hopeless and it was a real waste of money and some of us could not eat the dinner at all as that was tasteless with too much salt.

Ventajas: The staff were very friendly and helpful I selected Sri Lankan food, which was quite ok. Location excellent for watching international cricket at the Dambulla stadium. 5 minutes by auto rickshaw Also, very close to the cave temple.

Desventajas: There were two main problems, both to do with the room. There were a lot of mosquitoes in the room, also the electricity supply to the property was very erratic so the air conditioner barely had any effect and often stopped for long periods of time.. For these two reasons I found it impossible to get a good night's sleep on either night of my stay.

Ventajas: Tofo buen

Desventajas: Nada volvería de nuevo

Ventajas: Breakfast was good, eggs and fruit.

Desventajas: Budget rooms are a bit basic. But was cheap enough so fair.

Ventajas: It was our cheapest stay ever. Breakfast was good and staff friendly.

Ventajas: Traveling with my boyfriend and a friend we had such a lovely stay at Sunflower!! I made a mistake with the booking online which didn’t matter as they were so accommodating. This place has been family owned since the 70s and stood the test of time. Their guest book is an absolute legacy. The owners, manager and employers are all incredibly kind and helpful.

Ventajas: PErsonal muy amable y divertido. Tuvimos varias charlas con ellos de buen rollo tomando unas cervezas. Nos contaban cosas de Sri Lanka que ervian para nuestro viaje pero también sobre ellos. Nos quedamos dos noches. Rompimos sin querer la cerradura de una habitacion y nos cambiaron a un cuarto que nos gustaba mas. El alojamiento esta a 5 minutos del Templo de las Cuevas. Monos cerca! Tiene un patio muy agradable para estar.

Desventajas: Las mosquiteras de los cuartos olían mal.

Also the food is very high quality with a nice mix, The staff are exceptionally kind, nice and polite; a pleasure to know. The location was nice and I've enjoyed great walks every day. The golden temple was nearby therefor i got the chance to visit that wonderful location as well. Reception have arranged for me to visit the local national park to spot elephants with the naturist which, I have enjoyed it a lot i must say. Highly recommended.

Ventajas: Muy buen servicio en todos los aspectos, los dueños del hotel muy amables y la comida buenisima. Le pedimos si podia hacernos una sopa y la hizo exactamente a nuestro gusto y a la hora que quisieramos. Uno de los lugares mas limpios en los que hemos estado.
