Homestays in Madawala

Probably the best holiday destination I’ve ever visited. Dave and his staff have served us with delicious food with home made cake and his signature dishes. Also we've been privileged to taste Dave’s Artisan Teas and experience the Tea making process. Beautiful surrounding with excellent misty weather. The Breakfast was exceptional. Sri Lankan favourite string hoppers and the Freshest fruits with Dave's homemade Marmalade and Jams. The best Curd I've ever had. Oh I love the coffee Dave offered!! Super clean rooms and awesome library room with lots of splendid books. Oh we miss Charley so badly.. adorable companion.. :) I would give my highest recommendation and I will definitely visit again! thank you David and the awesome team!

We had a truly amazing experience here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and comfortable. The food was amazing and the chef made sure the spice levels was too our liking. The pool overlooking the mountains was truly magical and was the icing on the cake for this wonderful property. We wish we had more time here.

Everything ! The room as incredible, the food (vegan) was soooo good, the surrounding of the organic farm were so relaxing but the staff !! Wow ! Honestly they were so beautiful! Pradeep and Dishan were amazing !!!

in the middle of the forest, pure nature, there are animals like frogs, monkeys, cows and birds. NAtural hut with no AC, just fans and roof ventilation. Very unique style. Breakfast and hospitality was great

This is a family owned and operated business away from the noise of the town, in a tranquil setting. Sanjeev and Lalith were very welcoming, and included us in their family and friends celebration of Sinhalese new year, which was exceptional. Room 3 was very large, and the bathroom spacious and just right. A perfect setting for respite close to nature. The meals were the best we've had in 12 days so far in Sri Lanka!

Ridge Boundary View was BY FAR the highlight of our Sri Lanka trip—I can’t recommend it enough! This isn’t just a stay; it’s an experience that everyone should have. Ruwan is the perfect host—welcoming, attentive, and always going the extra mile to make your trip better. He gave us a fascinating tour of the property, where they grow over 20 types of food, from rice and jackfruit to coconut and even breadfruit (which I had never heard of before!). Walking through the lush farm, touching and smelling the fresh ingredients, and listening to Ruwan’s hilarious stories made it unforgettable. Every meal was a farm-to-table feast, prepared with love by Ruwan’s family. From homemade cinnamon tea to an incredible spread of Sri Lankan dishes, everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. Each meal came with an explanation of its ingredients and preparation, giving us a deep appreciation for Sri Lankan cuisine—so much so that throughout the rest of our trip, we’d try dishes and say, “It’s good, but not as good as Ruwan’s!” The location is breathtaking. Watching the sunrise over the Knuckles Mountains right from our bed was pure magic, followed by the best breakfasts we had in Sri Lanka. Ruwan also made our trip seamless, organizing everything from transport to an unforgettable safari, where we saw over 20 elephants up close! He even helped us navigate local buses, making what could have been a hassle into a fun adventure. Dambulla has plenty to see/do, with elephant safaris, the amazing Sigiriya Rock, Cave Temple, or just reading a book on the balcony and enjoying the view. Even after we left, Ruwan checked in to make sure we arrived safely at our next stop. He’s not just a host—he’s a genuinely kind and hilarious person who made our trip truly special. If you’re visiting Sri Lanka, do yourself a favor and stay here. You won’t regret it!

Beautiful. Amazing pool. Staff and owner were excellent. Food amazing. Really wish we’d had more than one night here

A peaceful retreat close to the city center. Immaculately tidy, thanks to the wonderful couple who not only managed the place but also showered us with kindness and helpfulness.

Friendly and trusted staffs. They provided everything what we asked. Facilities are as per the details provided at the time of booking. Even though I paid extra day as check out time is 11am and I left the facility at 6pm, they refunded my extra day payment.
