Very friendly hosts, good food, including breakfast which was cheap. The location is great if you wanna stay in a more quiet place, a bit away from the town but close to the impressive temple! I had a really good stay.

Great place, good location not near the road, quiet and relaxation. I was greeted with a welcome drink, the room had everything I needed, toiletries and a towel. There were not many insects, but the presence of a mosquito net over the bed is a plus. The breakfasts were wonderful, fruit, toast, omelette, fruit drink and coffee. The guys are very positive and ready to help in everything. Transportation and excursions can be arranged. In the evening, if you are lucky, you can see a wild elephant behind the fence of the hotel, which periodically pass by. Nearby there is a cool cafe Sigiri La Veranda Lodge, I recommend it.

The room was perfekt with a big comfy bed and a nice bathroom. I loved the place because it was quiet and peaceful bit you are in a few minutes in the centre where you can eat. Every sightseeing is in walking distance and its the perfect place to take a walk and enjoy the day. The family was super lovely and nice, could‘nt ask for more. It felt like a little SriLanka Home. They will also help you with everything and show you around places. Was one of my best stays while travelling!

Costa was one of the best hosts ever! A rustic tucked away little space in Sigiriya. Costa took us to some amazing hidden spots and helped us through booking a scooty and getting everything sorted. Loved our stay here. Super cheap laundry too!

Kani is the most wonderful host, I have met in Sri Lanka so far. His attitude towards people is genuine and friendly. He made me feel more like the part of the group rather just a tourist which I appreciate a lot as a solo female traveller. And helped me with some advice on my future travels on local buses. Very grateful, thank you. The hostel is cosy and clean with the amazing location. Would highly reccomend.

We stayed here as a group of friends and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The host was incredible – he ordered and organised things for us, gave us loads of tips about the local area, and even went above and beyond when my friend left her bag at a bus stop. He actually tracked it down and drove it back to us! His whole family were so kind and welcoming, which made us feel completely at home. Breakfast was amazing every morning, and the beds were huge double bunks, super comfy after a long day exploring. Honestly, the host and his family made the trip for us – such a special place to stay

All hostels in Dambulla

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
