Amba Yaalu - Thema Collection "The First Women-LED Hotel in Sri Lanka" ★★★★★

📍 Lot 16, Pihilla Mookalana, Katupotha, Kandalama

"The hotel service was excellent, the environment was beautiful, the pool was great, and the location was conveniently close to Dambulla and Sigiriya. The only drawback was that some facilities were a bit old. I would choose the hotel again next time."

Jetwing Lake

Jetwing Lake ★★★★★

📍 Yapagama, Wijaya Kumaratunga Mawatha, Dambulla

"The hotel is very beautiful and very integrated with nature. It is very close to Dambulla. The Jetwing Group is all plastic-free and has a strong environmental awareness. I like it very much. The check-in speed was a bit slow, but welcome drinks and snacks were provided during the check-in. The room is very large and an extra bed was given. It was very comfortable to stay with 3 adults and 1 child. The dinner buffet was booked starting at 7 o'clock. There were quite a lot of choices and the price was reasonable. The only thing I was not satisfied with was that we were in rooms 220 and 221, which were right above the restaurant, and right above the scrambled eggs + barbecue. The cooking smell was very strong after the restaurant opened, and the buffet was very noisy at night. The noise was not over until the restaurant was cleaned up in the middle of the night, which was not friendly to young children. Families who sleep light must avoid the rooms above the restaurant when booking, especially 220/221"

Sigiriya Village
8.6 (64 reviews)

Sigiriya Village ★★★★★

📍 Hotel Rd, Sigiriya

"It’s good if you want to experience living in a forest area. It’s very near some quaint little cafes outside the hotel facing the lion rock fortress aka sigiriya rock. If you are looking for 5 star hotel , it is not. It’s good for the locality, clean Very peaceful and pleasant place."

Eden Grand
9.4 (55 reviews)

Eden Grand ★★★

📍 272, 6 Kurunegala Rd, Dambulla

"The staff is very kind and helpful. The breakfast is delicious. But the WiFi signal is not stable and we had experienced a blackout which lasted for about twenty minutes."

Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort Sigiriya
9.0 (11 reviews)

Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort Sigiriya ★★★★

📍 Pothana, Kimbissa, Dambulla

"Great stay! Room was huge and very comfortable, the massage was great and the staff extremely kind, including Lakshan and Irshan. Restaurant’s food is very good; breakfast serving is a bit slower than the time agreed, just keep that in mind if you have a packed schedule. This is the only minor flaw, for the rest the resort is super recommended! Would come back anytime"

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve
9.6 (65 reviews)

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve ★★★★★

📍 Sigiriya, Dambulla

"I have been visiting Vil Uyana since 2013, it is one of my favourite places. The luxury accommodation, the sustainable ethos the Jetwing group follow and most of all the staff. Upali and all the other staff were exemplary in the warm smiles and customer service. Thank you 🙏🏽"

The River House Dambulla The Serendipity Collection ★★★★

📍 147/9, Wijaya Kumararthunga Mw, Siyambala Wewa, Dambulla

"Nestled by the serene Dambulu Oya (River) and surrounded by trees, my friends and I thought we were in for a chill time. But, surprise! The garden was a bird paradise! I snapped some epic shots and saw over 40 bird species, including some Endemics. And trust me, you've gotta catch the sunrise on a hike to Dahaiya Kanda. It's like nature's own light show!"

The Otunna Guest House Sigiriya Hotels in Dambulla

The Otunna Guest House Sigiriya

"Dinesh and his family make The Otunna Guest House 5 star in every aspect. It’s everything we hoped for in Sigiriya: beautifully appointed comfortable wooden chalets set in a quiet jungle garden close to Lions Rock. The food was outstanding. We ate breakfast and dinner everyday for our 3-day stay. Dinesh’s mother cooked a superb selection of Sri Lankan dishes. We slept soundly in a fully air conditioned room with comfortable beds and a spacious bathroom. Dinesh was always on hand to help us organise activities and transfers, including our trip to Lions Rock, a safari at the National Park, and our trip to the Dambulla Cave Temple. We loved every second and could not recommend The Otunna Guest House highly enough."

Milano Grand Hotels in Dambulla

Milano Grand

"If I'd looked at the map and gone, I'd have had a hard time finding it. Even if it's close, I think taking a tuk-tuk is a good option. For the Sigiriya sunrise, it's relatively close to the city center, but not too far away, so it's in a great location. Lucky at the reception is friendly, humorous, and helpful. However, the tuk-tuk driver who called me didn't speak any English, which was a bit surprising. The room was minimalistic, and the green balcony view was soothing. The air conditioning made it cold, so I asked for hot water, and they brought me a liter of it in a bottle. I made some barley tea and drank it, which helped me kick my cold."

"From the moment I arrived in the lobby, I felt wonderful and at ease. The welcome was perfect, with smiles on every face, and the place was meticulously maintained. The pool is lovely, and the birdsong added to the pleasure of staying at this Thema Group hotel. The manager and her team were incredibly attentive at every moment, discreet yet elegant. THANK YOU"

Jetwing Lake ★★★★★
"This is the most satisfactory one among the four Jetwing hotels I stayed in. The environment is quiet and private, the room facilities are well maintained, there is a huge balcony, and the view outside the window is beautiful. The breakfast quality is good, and the dinner order is also good. It is worth mentioning that the hotel service is very good, and the beautiful lady at the front desk of the hotel will greet you warmly."

Kalundewa Retreat ★★★★★
"We stayed at this lovely oasis of nature for a couple of nights in their floating villa. It was a magical experience afloat on a lagoon colored by water hyacinths and the birdsong at dawn and dusk was uplifting. Dinner on the houseboat was a delightful experience. The staff were polite and eager to help and the meals delicious. A haven where you felt at peace with the proximity of nature. There are only a dozen rooms in this hundred acre estate, so nature and the cultivation of rice is unperturbed. A great place to relax and watch birdlife."

The River House Dambulla The Serendipity Collection ★★★★
"The River House is incredibly beautiful and a wildlife haven away from all the crowds. We had a wonderful stay, thank you. We absolutely loved watching all the wildlife from the infinity pool. The house was very well presented and in such a beautiful natural setting. It is very natural and open so if you aren’t in tune with nature it might not be for you but if you do appreciate the beauty of the natural world and being close to it, it was superb. The team that run the River House, Nandasiri and Wanasinghe were wonderful. So kind and attentive and the food they cooked was absolutely delicious!! The best we have had in Sri Lanka. Such lovely people they made it an amazing stay. Thank you. We highly recommend the River House"
