Lack of air conditioning, but we know that it is planned to be installed.

Very homely and spacious. In close proximity to major sites. Incredible food and truthful local experience. Hosts are extremely welcoming and friendly and really look after you during the stay. They take hosting to another level!

Nothing to mention here.

The family running this place is awesome. The host prepared the BEST dinner and breakfast two days in a row, everything was delicious. The room was clean and has a very nice terrace for eating and seeing monkeys :). Also the brother picked us up from the bus station. It was above expectations, definitely a place to come back! Thank you!

Cleanliness could be improved.

Amazing owners with open heart - they even helped us to organize our stay in Dambulla (safari and a little sights recommended). The location is superb. The breakfast and dinner is a must - best examples of Sri Lankan food. We had fantastic time chatting with the owners on the terrace.

The owner was really friendly and hospitable. The Sri Lankan breakfast was amazing, we've got to try many local dishes. The brother of the owner was really nice as well. Offered to drive us to Rose Quartz Mountain and Pidurangala Rock, even with a little detour where we spotted some local wildlife (pea cocks and even a crocodile). Definetely would recommend staying here!

The brother of the host picked us up from the bus station when we randomly met him there which was so nice! Everything was very clean and the breakfast was delicious and something new every day. The view to the garden is very beautiful. The host and her whole family was very nice and welcoming and drove us to the bus station on our last day. All in all a great stay! Thank you so much!

Nothing

The hosts could not have been more friendly helpful and kind. The terrace is a wonder of wildlife including naughty monkeys. The breakfast and evening meals were better than most restaurants.

The host was incredibly nice and helpful. Her family was great as well, her brother took us to Polonnaruwa for the day for a VERY reasonable price and made sure we were not missing out on the best spots on the way. The room was really nice and the view from the terrace was extremely enjoyable. We had a boiler and some tea in the room which was great. The dinner was one of the best we had in Sri Lanka, prepared by the family. Breakfast was typical and wonderful.

Nothing!

Hosts were super helpful. Place is great, in a very peaceful place and convenient. Walking distance from Cave Temple. Breakfast and dinner were the best meal I’ve had in Sri Lanka!

The matress was not so good, but I did sleep well. Cold shower.

The location, you can easily walk to the caves. I loved the garden, it' wild jungle, it is so beautiful when you sit on the porch and look those monkeys jumping. The dinner was great, sri lankan rice and curry, very good. The welcome tea with some sweets (milk rice etc) was so lovely.

Everything was more then we expected

We wanted to feel different Sri Lanka and this place was the best choose, a must try experience. First of all because there you may get the best national food, won’t get such in any restaurant (if you get lucky try not only breakfast but also dinner, we were :) ). Second you will get a real home feeling of living in a village house, with exceptional owner, monkeys and etc. Thanks!!!

Heartwarming hospitality and delicious food What a fantastic stay at Sunvsh Homestay. The host Anu is very friendly as soon as the booking was confirmed she were helped to planned the trip we needed at a low price compared to other places. Location is very good short walking to Dambulla Rock Temple and City Centre. While having breakfast you can watch birds, butterflies, squirrel and monkeys in the garden. Anu's mother food is excellent. We enjoyed sri Lankan rice and curry. Definitely the best meals that we had in sri Lanka. I would recommend eating there if you stay don't miss that amazing opportunity and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend people stay here.

Internet was out of service as we were told the monkey has played with the device .

Staff very helpful

It can get a bit hot inside the room but we had two working fans, and the hospitality of the family more than makes up for it.

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!

It gets quite hot in the room and you better should close Windows while sleeping for the monkeys and other animals around. Fan still works, though

Awesome Homestay! Amazingly friendly owner, family and driver. They are super helpful in organizing your stay and Trips to the surrounding areas of interest. Dont expect any luxuries here, but - even for Sri Lankan standards - the most warm hearted hospitality. You can watch monkeys, mungos, bats and frogs from your Veranda. More (Traditional Sri Lankan!) breakfast than anyone could ever eat and make sure to try the Curry and kattu aswell - I was ashamed I couldnt eat it all up.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

The family was so welcoming and friendly, they made sure we were comfortable with everything. Lovely room with everything you need, in separate, lovely building. The facilities were great and super clean, with perfect terrace and view for the green garden full of trees, where you can eat delicious breakfast or dinner. Home made food was absolutely amazing and the owner always made sure that our stomachs are full! :) When we had to leave very early at 3:30 in the night we even got coffee and packed breakfast! Perfect location, walking distance to the Cave Temple and to the bus station. If you need the transportation or trip to Sigiriya, the family can offer tuk tuk services. Value for money doesn't get any better than this. Super happy with our stay, will definitely stop by again if we're back in Dambulla. Thank you for everything. ❤️

We enjoyed the tour we were offered, except for the aryuveda garden. Seconds after we left we felt we had fallen into a big tourist trap and a bit of googling confirmed our suspicions.. the tour guide will tell you the tour is free because the garden is controlled by the government but somehow we left spending a lot of money on things.. my advice is to google about these gardens and then decide if you want to do this part of the tour, it left us with an unpleasant feeling which is unfortunate as the rest of the stay and tour was very nice.

We had a great stay in Dambulla. Very friendly and warm family that make you feel welcome. The dinner cooked by the mother of the family was absolutely amazing! We were offered a tour by the brother in his tuk tuk which was great.

Lot of mosquitoes and no wind around and in the room, what made it really hot.

Great breakfast and dinner. The host was very friendly
