“Hospitable and helpful. Pleasant stay.”
+I had a really positive stay at Dambulla Kings Inn and would highly recommend it especially for solo travellers. From the moment I arrived Mr. Chaluka and his wife are incredibly kind and attentive. He was always smiling and full of positive energy. My flight arrived very early in the morning after multiple delays and they were more than happy to accommodate me with an early check in which made such a difference after a long journey. Throughout my stay they were always available and genuinely cared about making sure I had everything I needed. Anything I asked for was sorted straight away and they were consistently warm welcoming and thoughtful. The area is very peaceful and surrounded by a nice garden. The room is also very clean including the bathroom. Breakfast was always on time and lovely each morning which added to how smooth and easy my stay felt. As a solo traveller I felt very safe here which is something I really value. They created a comfortable environment where I could fully relax. The location is also amazing- close to the key sites such as Sigiriya and Dambulla Cave Temple. They also recommended a tuk tuk driver called Bandara and he was honestly amazing. I highly rec

“Lovely place to stay”
+Lovely couple running this hotel. Helped with everything we needed: trips to do, bringing to the massage salon, repairing broken shoes and boiling water so we could make coffee. Good WiFi

“Excelent homestay”
+Madhu and Chamuka are an incredible family. They helped me with everything, and the house is extremely comfortable and clean. The room has a private bathroom, and the breakfast is excellent. I cannot recommend it enough if you come to Dambulla. On my last day, Chamuka even picked me up and took me to the bus station.
−Everything perfect

“Utter Bad Experience”
−The experience in the stay was very bad, considering dambulla comes under plains with hell lot of humidity, room does not have ac or not even a single fan. Stay only had single table fan which was not working well with extremely low speed. During the check out time the host did not even allowed to use the washroom, when after requesting they allowed but soon after they started calling and messaging saying " Why you used washroom, we again need to do the cleaning work ", not recommended at all. Utter rubbish experience. Say No to this Stay!

+Wir haben eine Nacht in dieser Unterkunft geschlafen und waren mehr als zufrieden. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und modern eingerichtet und relativ zentral gelegen. Der Host war Mega nett und hat uns zur Abreise ohne Aufpreis zur Weiterreise an den Busbahnhof gefahren. Echt eine tolle Erfahrung in Dambulla.

+Titel: Ein absolutes Highlight - Gastfreundschaft pur! Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit in diesem Hotel. Die beiden Gastgeber sind zwei unglaublich sympathische und hilfsbereite Menschen, bei denen man sich sofort willkommen fühlt. Ein riesiges Lob an sie: Sie hat uns das beste Omelett der Welt gezaubert - ein echtes kulinarisches Highlight! Er hat sich währenddessen perfekt um alles Organisatorische gekümmert, inklusive der Planung unserer Touren. Auch unser Guide war einfach nur cool, super nett und hat den Ausflug unvergesslich gemacht. Die Zimmer waren zudem sehr sauber. Wir können dieses Hotel und das gesamte Team nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen! Vielen Dank für alles.🙏🏼
