We had an amazing, authentic and memorable stay at Menara Green Inn. It felt so homely and the owner and his family’s hospitality were outstanding. The Inn is in a very quiet part of town which we thought was nice. It has a nice garden and wild monkeys on the rooftop. Amazing! It was a little far from the good restaurants but the owner drove us in his Tuk-tuk to the restaurant and picked us up again afterwards. He also drove us to the bus at the end of our stay. All free of charge and out of a good heart. We also went on a great tour with the owner to Sigiriya. Definitely recommended! And the traditional breakfast we had in the morning was so delicious! We also had fresh fruit, juice and tea every day free of charge. All in all an amazing experience for us. Thank you to the family for your hospitality and kindness.

This place is absolutely amazing! The host Nuwan and his family are so nice and friendly, they make you feel at home from the first moment. Nuwan not only helped us organize our activities in the area by sharing with us the most beautiful places to see around, taking in to consideration what we were also interested in, but also drove us around to amazing local places in his tuk tuk. He took us to the village temple which has spectacular views of the area and a secret spot to view the birds just after sunset and they are both really recommended! His wife and 2 kids are also very polite and cute and always ready to help have the best experience. Thanks for offering this great experience and we hope to see you again some day!

The couple running the homestay was fantastic! They were very welcoming, cooked really great dinner and breakfast and welcomed us with homemade passionfruit juice! They also helped to arrange a tour of the area and even drove us to our next stay in Anuradhapura themselves which was a very enjoyable drive. The room was also perfect, clean and comfortable.

A kind and hospitable family that went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and happy. They could organise everything for you if you so wish. The home was kept spotless clean. The breakfast was delicious and in abundance. Dambulla itself is really nice. It provides a glimpse of real Sri Lanka and we appreciated the conversations we had with the hosts. The cave temple is near by and main tourist attractions such as Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa are a must. We saw lots of elephants at the safari, up close, and enjoyed the wonderful views of Pidurangula rock. Thank you!

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!

    The location of the farm was excellent, you will find yourself in places you would not come otherwise. Pradeep's place is very well maintained, we stayed in one of the cheaper rooms and they were quite basic but that's what we wanted. If you are up for more luxury there are four new rooms which are all very modern and super clean! The farm is great and staff super friendly and helpful. It was a great way to get a peek in actual sri lankan culture. Would definitely recommend going here!

    Very clean and comfortable, the staff were smiley and friendly, willing to help where able. The location is ideal for access to the busy centre but far enough away that you don't have the noise that goes with it. The beautiful views made the already enjoyable and filling breakfast, even better. AC and fan worked well!
