Offering a garden and garden view, Simoya Nature Park is set in Dambulla, 19 km from Sigiriya Rock and 22 km from Pidurangala Rock. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the guest house free of charge. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk and full-day security for guests.

We had a wonderful stay at Simoya Nature Reserve and couldn't rate it more highly. From the moment we arrived and received our welcome drink, our hosts, Sanjay and Madhu, could not have been kinder or more thoughtful. We had rented both rooms, which are beautifully decorated with Madhu's own batik, and where everything has been carefully thought out for comfort and ease. The location is a short walk from the Buddhist Cave Temple, and is so peaceful. Breakfasts were.amazing, beautifully cooked and something different every day. Madhu and Sanjay are also happy to cook dinner for you, which we would totally recommend.

    Very quiet and nice hotel. The host was super helpful and helped us organize our trip and transport on very short notice (2-3 hours before starting). Breakfast was plenty and the Freitag platter a highlight. 10-15 minute walk to the city center. Can definitely recommend

    Great place to stay. Friendly owner, who takes care of all his guests, ensuring they enjoy the stay in his guest house and Sri Lanka. And helping to plan the visit for those who haven't yet specified their plans Place is close to the city centre but in quiet area with no traffic noise. Restaurant with delicious food available (best roti I have ever eat). Tuk tuk and taxi service available. I would recommend it for everyone who plans to visit Dambulla.

    Accommodation in a small bed and breakfast with breakfast in a quiet part of Dambulla, near Dambulla Cave Temple. Clean, cozy room with air conditioning, a double bed, and a private bathroom with a toilet. Running hot water, a kind and helpful hostess who assists with transportation and other activities in the area. Highly recommended.

    The guest house is in a beautiful location, with easy access to transport to town and places of interest. Good for visiting the local temples (walking distance) and Sigiriya rock. Our host welcomed us with tea and fresh fruit, and provided a huge breakfast each day and a good evening meal. Our room was clean and the bed comfy.

    The best guesthouse I have EVER stayed in and therefore deserves a lot of compliments. Well- equipped - almost everything you needed has been thought of by the host. It came with a touch of class and luxury too. Felt like at least a 4 to 5-star room. The room was spacious. The room was separate from the main bungalow and was therefore very private. The location was also excellent - near the main streets with shops and yet off it so that it was very quiet. Well done Rock Arch!

    It is probably the closest appartement to the Temple cave and the golden Temple. And the best is, that you are in the nature and can observe the monkeys and birds from your own terrace while it is very quiet and you dont have the trouble of the city. The host has a friend who drives you by tuk tuk to e.g. the lion rock. For Sure you can also go by bus which is a lot cheaper. Also the appartement and everything around is really beautiful.
