Samabe Lake, hotel in Dambulla

Situated in Dambulla, 23 km from Sigiriya Rock, Samabe Lake features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and water sports facilities.

This boutique guest house is fantastic, located in front of the Samabe lake. This is such a peaceful, relaxing and quiet environment. A real paradise for all nature lovers - located just a few minutes away from Dambulla center. For now, there are only 2 cottages in the property. So basically the stay is very private (no noise around). The cottage size is very good with a terrace from where you can enjoy the view of the lake. The personnel is very friendly - and insisted to invite me for a lovely boat tour on the lake for free. Surprisingly there was no mosquito in the cottage whereas we could think that there might be due to the proximity of the lake. The WiFi was working very fine. All was perfect. From this place, i did visit Dambulla (e.g Golden temple) and its surroundings- up to Habarana for a half a day safari (mainly elephants spotted) in the national park of Minneriya/Eco lodge. Spent 2 wonderful nights …and wish I would have more time to stay more !

    All the sites were wonderful - Sigiriya (the rock), Dambulla Caves (Amazing - especially cave #2), Polonnaruwa (Ancient City), Elephant Safari saw 40 to 50 elephants - Mothers and their children on a ridge at the very end of the safari! It was a great day to be able to see that many in the game reserve all together. I would spend minimum 3 but really 4 nights up here as the travel day really doesn't count because you aren't running out to see anything until the next day, so this way you have 3 full days to see all the sites and it isn't rushed. Also, you go out early in the morning as it gets too bloody hot in the middle of the day.

    Dambulla is a great place to explore, especially if you are a nature lover. Lots of greenery is preserved amidst the cave temples. Frescos at the Dambulla cave temple are amazingly beautiful. Inside the caves are cold though the outside temperature is steaming hot in the summer. Sigiriya rock is another attraction near Dambulla. It will take a half a day tour to climb up and down but if you want to explore more, the area surrounding the Sigiriya rock garden is vast and can wonder around the rock garden and historical ruins for hours. Good for hikers. Ibbankatuwa ancient grave yard, Pidurangala (A rock with nice view at the top, situated parallel to Sigiriya Rock are some of other nearby attractions.

    First of all we would like to thank the owner and the management for giving us the opportunity to stay at this beautiful resort. Colin and Ajit did a wonderful job of looking after us They are hard working, sincere and committed in their work. Few things that need to be sorted out were the overgrown creeper in the front which is preventing sunlight from entering the front of the house. Lighting in the room and bathroom need to be brighter. A stronger Wi-Fi would be welcome Overall an enjoyable stay Hope to visit again Regards

    The staff of this hotel are what makes this place. They will go above and beyond to help without you even needing to ask. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need. It is a nice calm spot off a very busy street. We also must mention the exceptional Tuk Tuk driver who brought us around Dambulla on our first day and a fantastic sunrise trip to Sigriya followed by some additional stop offs that we would have missed out on without his knowledge. This was a fantastic recommendation from the hotel.

    We really appreciated Pradeep’s hospitality and kindness. As a host, he was great to communicate with and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time in Dambulla. He organised a driver for a full day of activities and we really felt like we got a proper welcome and experience of the smaller, more local feel in Sri Lanka staying at Blue Mountain with his family. We loved sitting on the balcony and drinking tea with him and the other guests, such a cosy and authentic stay!

    The hotel is just 5 minutes walk from Dambulla city center. You can even consider walking to Dambulla Cave Temples area , it took me 30 minutes from the hotel to the Temple Entrance. Sigiriya is just 30 minutes by bus , Polonnaruwa ruins is just 1.5 hours by bus from Dambulla centre. Even though it is close to the city centre, the property is in a forest full of tropical birds, fabulous. The room was spacious and clean. Definetely , good value for your money.

    Eden grand boasts huge rooms, friendly family run business, great breakfast. A new hotel only opened in the past year and has great potential. Owner was friendly and accommodating, also provided transport to our next location. It is a little bit of a walk outside the main area in Dambulla but perfect for a short stay. Would recommend better wifi and some lighting along the walk up to the hotel if possible but otherwise we enjoyed our stay!

    Great value homestay! Out of the hustle and bustle of Dambulla and so close to the Cave Temple. The breakfast was huge (way more than we could eat) and the hosts were wonderful helping us organize transport to Sigiriya and then to Ella at a very reasonable cost. Loved the big rock behind the property which you could climb for a beautiful view. The dinner was delicious, one of my favourite Sri Lanka meals so far!

    We had a great stay at this family run guest house. the family went out of their way to help us with whatever we needed, and the breakfast was fantastic. the property is very peaceful, but still a short walk from the Dambulla main strip. we used their uncles pool on the property next door for a small fee. there’s is a balcony and living area upstairs for the guests to use. I definitely recommend staying here.

    Perfect for people looking for quiet and peaceful place to stay. If you prefer non traditional big hotels this is the perfect place to stay! The owners were hospitable and always checking to see if everything is provided. Our initial plan is 2 days only but we extend extra day to relax. Also money for value with breakfast included. Madhu cooks very nice and clean food for breakfast and dinner as well.
