The host was very attentive and caring, couldn’t do any more for us! The room is one of the biggest we have stayed in in our Sri Lanka trip. Lovely outside seating where the host served us a delicious breakfast. Only a 5 minutes tuk tuk ride from the main Dambulla bus stand.

It could not be better choice as to stay in this hotel while visiting the signature places of Sri-Lanka as Dambulla and Sigiriya. Very peaceful and cozy brand new hotel, surrounded by an amazing nature. There are a few cottages, where you’ll find everything you need inside. All done with very good sense of taste, including a swimming pool in between - to relax after discovering surroundings. Welcoming staff and exceptional service level with full support for guests. The owner Mr. Chandana Susantha and his team are doing their best to feel guests like at home. It’s so inspiring to meet people, who do what they love! That is what to build an impression about the country and makes you be back.

I booked this place because I read amaaing reviews… the experience I had exceed my expectations… you really feel part of the family from the very first moment, the owner is really considerate he truly cares about his clients!! He took me everywhere! Helped me with anything I would ask, made my stay unforgettable and truly local. Ask him to take you around you won't regret it, I has the best trips. The wife is also such a wonderful lady, she truly cares I could tell. Plus, location is the best, you are 10 mins walk to the cave temple in Dambulla which is the main attraction in the city. Delicious breakfast ( they arranged a gluten free option for me so good!!!) The bed is also very comfortable and hot shower very appreciated. I had a wonderful time.

We had an absolute brilliant stay! The room and surrounding is great, location to Dambulla caves are walking distance (5 min away). The host family is just amazing! Really feels like they give more that 100% to the place - so many great details in the room and the place. We also had an amazing rice and curry for dinner and also got it vegan which was awesome! Overall one of the best stays in Sri Lanka!

Some of the kindest hosts we've ever stayed with! Anu and her family do everything they can to make your stay comfortable. Anu's mother is an amazing cook and the breakfast (which is included) is traditional Sri Lankan and super delicious and there's almost too much of it, you will never leave hungry! The same goes for the dinner which is also strongly recommended. The terrace is super nice, with a view of the garden where monkeys and other animals sometimes come to visit. The location is good with just a short walk to the cave temples, the city center or the bus terminal. The room was basic but spacious and clean, and the bed had a mosquito net. We will definitely come back if we're in Dambulla again someday and will recommend everyone to stay here!

    The location of the farm was excellent, you will find yourself in places you would not come otherwise. Pradeep's place is very well maintained, we stayed in one of the cheaper rooms and they were quite basic but that's what we wanted. If you are up for more luxury there are four new rooms which are all very modern and super clean! The farm is great and staff super friendly and helpful. It was a great way to get a peek in actual sri lankan culture. Would definitely recommend going here!

    Very clean and comfortable, the staff were smiley and friendly, willing to help where able. The location is ideal for access to the busy centre but far enough away that you don't have the noise that goes with it. The beautiful views made the already enjoyable and filling breakfast, even better. AC and fan worked well!
