Eventhough this property is listed in the (2021) lonely planet, it or its owner havent lost any of their charm. Flawless place with clean rooms, a decent breakfast and a superb host. Both rocks can be reached by foot and there are plenty of food optins in the area. We would come again for sure.

Lovely hosts, they helped organise transportation for us to and from Pidurangala rock for sunrise as well as a car from their home stay to our next location, Kandy. Our safari was also suggested and arranged for us by our hosts. The little things go a long way. We arrived in a downpour and our hosts very kindly met us both by the cars with umbrellas whilst they helped us with our bags. Breakfast was delicious, too and we were enjoyed having dinner with the hosts on the first evening we arrived. When staying at Yashi’s place, you must visit the Lady Cafe at the end of the road - this was a great recommendation by the host and the best food we had throughout our whole trip in Sri Lanka. The room was large and clean. The gardens surrounding Yashi’s place were beautiful - we especially enjoyed seeing the peacocks in the trees as we ate our meals!

Sanjee and Madhu were exceptional hosts, very friendly and open and helping us to make the most of our time in Dambulla. They organised extra activities for us that went beyond our expectations, including a laundry service, safari, tour of the town and Sigiriya, and incredible food. They even made food that we wanted to give a try, and catered to dietary requirements perfectly. Thank you for the great 3 days with you!

What a beautiful relaxed place! I had to move after two nights but I wish I stayed for a week at least. Highly recommended renting a bicycle (the owner can arrange it) and explore surrounding. The village is stunning, don’t miss all the lakes. The breakfast included in the price was full and delicious. And it was really convenient to order dinners as well and enjoy it sitting outdoor, surrounded by jungles. One of my best stays in Sri Lanka!

The facility is located in an excellent location, close to Sygirya and national parks. The room is large, the bed spacious. It has air conditioning, which is important because of the heat. Breakfast is simple, very tasty. The owners are wonderful people, they welcomed us and we felt at home. The garden is wonderful, and the girl who served us breakfast is the most beautiful. Thank you so much!

Excellent staying experience!! The accomodation is quiet, close to the main bus station. The host is helpful and asked his friends to take us to another bus station on the main street twice. The hostess prepare the woderful food.The breakfast is plentiful and delicious. We couldn't finish them and didn't want to waste food. The host helped us to take them away.:) To hosts: Thank you very much and hope to have the opportunity to come back to Dambulla!!! PS, the host a bit looks like Jason Momoa :)

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.
