    Peaceful and perfect location to the bus station in Dambulla where we wanted to catch the bus to Polonnaruwa in a cozy area. A nice size room and a sitting area, ironing facilities, and a study table inside.

    The room was spacious and charming with lovely flowers, great amenities, and beautiful semi-outdoor showers, plus the proximity to the cave temples was amazing.

    Located next to a stream, peaceful and picturesque. Cozy rooms with comfortable beds and lovely balcony views. Friendly and attentive staff, especially Thiwanka and Mahesh. Excellent food, better than expected, with a talented chef.

    loved the peaceful location, beautiful pool area, and attentive staff. Exceeded my expectations after a disappointing previous stay in Dambulla. The special meal and celebration for Sri Lankan New Year made it even more special!

    Poor quality and overpriced food.

    The rooms were beautiful and the staff were very friendly and helpful during our stay. The food was definitely a highlight and we enjoyed every meal. A key advantage was being able to watch the wildlife right from our room and the pool. the location offered breathtaking views of the surrounding area.

    The location was a bit out of the way and a long journey to find other restaurants. The road leading up to the hotel wasn't very well-maintained, which was a bit daunting when arriving for the first time.

    the service was impeccable, with staff always available and willing to help with anything we needed. We loved spending time by the outdoor swimming pool, lounging on the sun terrace with beach umbrellas and enjoying the beautiful garden area. the restaurant offered delicious meals, and we particularly enjoyed the in-room breakfast and picnic area.

    The only minor issue we had was that the pool with view had a shallow end, which made it difficult to swim. this did not detract from the overall experience and we were still able to enjoy the pool.

    We loved the peaceful surroundings, away from the noise of the city. The hotel facilities were clean, and the swimming pool was a great spot to relax. The staff was attentive and made us feel welcome. Breakfast was delicious and had options for takeaway. The hotel arranged a driver for us, making transportation easy.

    Couldn't fault.

    I had a fantastic stay at a beautiful villa nestled in the forest. The villa was meticulously clean and the location was simply stunning. The staff were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience. The breakfast was delicious, with a variety of options to choose from. The swimming pool and outdoor terrace were perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable and enjoyable stay.
