Pros:

Très bon accueil et service. Les propriétaires sont charmants. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux et excellent. Dîner possible sur place, vraiment excellent et très copieux également. Proximité du temple a pied. Il y a la Clim et une moustiquaire. La chambre et les sanitaires sont propres.

Cons:

La literie manquait un peu de confort et des boules quies sont nécessaires (un peu bruyant avec la proximité de la route) si vous avez le sommeil léger.

The nicest family we have met in Sri Lanka
Pros:

The most lovely family run this small accomodation, such beautiful people and fabulous breakfast. Location is walking distance to the cave temple, but we had a driver so drove. Super clean

Unforgettable Experience ❤️
Pros:

I’ll never forget how warmly I was treated here — such a lovely and kind-hearted family 🥹❤️
We spent just one night with them, and every moment was filled with generosity and care.
The room was perfectly prepared for our arrival: spotlessly clean, air-conditioned, and even included a welcome drink.
Dinner was incredible — a feast for just two people! We enjoyed traditional Sri Lankan dishes, all cooked with love and attention to detail.
Breakfast was just as generous (best hoppers in town 😎), and the sweet mum even packed up the leftovers for us to take away 🥰
A truly 10/10 experience. I’m so grateful for their hospitality ❤️❤️

Pros:

This place is in perfect location with golden temple and cave temple right just about 300m from the stay. The host is very helpful and her breakfast is just too good. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a stay in dambulla.

Für eine Übernachtung völlig in Ordnung, die Freundlichkeit der Familie hat vieles wettgemacht.
Pros:

Tolle Lage, nicht weit zu dem Höhlentempel. Sehr familiär, wir haben ein tolles Abendessen bekommen. Leider haben wir vorher nicht über den Preis gesprochen und so waren wir etwas überrascht von dem hohen Preis.

Cons:

Die Betten waren sehr hart und haben geknarrt, die Klimaanlage war sehr laut. Das Frühstück war ok, aber nicht besonders gut.

Beautiful family, lovely guesthouse
Pros:

One of the best guesthouses I’ve ever stayed at. We were welcomed with a warm smile and a fresh juice, the room was perfectly clean, bigger than I expected, with everything you need and more (several towels each, toothpaste, bottled water …). The family that runs this guesthouse is truly kind. Breakfast was amazing, tasty and very filling. The garden is relaxing. Location is perfect, very close to the caves (we walked there).

Cons:

My only regret is not to have had dinner at JM resort, considering how good the breakfast was.

Pros:

We went as a family of four.
Having just arrived to the country all was very new and different. But we were made very welcome by our host family and soon loved everything around us. It was a wonderful experience to stay with a local family. The host Thushara and her son Priyan were fantastic and went out of their way to help with transport and tours we wished to take. They made great breakfast and cooked dinner for us, which was really good local food. We went away having gained a family in Sri Lanka

No place like JM Resort!
Pros:

Our stay at JM Resort was absolutely delightful! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the gracious family who runs this charming homestay. Their kindness and hospitality truly made our experience unforgettable.

The accommodations were comfortable and clean, providing a cozy retreat after our adventures exploring the area. What truly stood out, however, was the incredible food prepared by the family. Each meal was a feast of authentic Sri Lankan flavors, showcasing the culinary expertise and love put into every dish.

Beyond the comfortable rooms and delicious meals, what made our stay exceptional was the personal touch from our hosts. They went above and beyond to ensure we felt at home, offering their valuable support with a personal problem I had when my money and passport were stolen on the bus. Their genuine care and warmth was highly appreciated as they instantly made us feel like part of their family! Cannot recommend enough!

Cons:

Absolutely nothing!
