Pros:

Hotel Awaken jest położony w bardzo zacisznym miejscu, a jednocześnie jest położony bardzo blisko centrum. Pokój jest zadbany, czysty i wyposażony w niezbędny sprzęt. W obiekcie serwowane są pyszne śniadania. Zarówno lankijskiej jak i typowo europejskie. Właściciel i jego żona są bardzo uprzejmi, mili i pomocni. Dopieszczają swoich gości pod każdym względem. Wlaściciel zorganizował nam wycieczki do wszystkich miejsc, które zaplanowaliśmy odwiedzić. Przez dwa dni jeździł z nami i opowiadał o historii Sri Lanki. Pierwszego dnia zawiózł nas do centrum i pokazał restaurację godne polecenia. Właściciel i jego żona tworzą niesamowite atmosferę. Podczas pobytu w hotelu Awaken można poczuć się jak w domu.

Ładny i czysty pokój, piękna weranda na której jedliśmy smaczne śniadanie i obiad 😀 Super właściciel zorganizował nam świetnego kierowcę na wycieczkę do Sigiryi i polecił wyjątkowe SPA z masażem lankijskim.

Pros:

Asanka har et lille hotel med 2 fine og meget rene værelser af høj standard. Super hjælp og service, dejlig og varierende morgenmad. Vi spiste også en dejlig hjemmelavet aftensmad på stedet, kan absolut anbefales. Asanka har en fin tur til Sigiriya til en god pris - og kørte os rundt i tuk-tuk i nabolaget uden beregning
Han var også meget hjælpsom med at finde en bus videre -og sørgede for at vi kom på bussen.

Amabilidad en estado puro.
Pros:

El trato de Asanka y su familia, encantadores. Nos recibieron con una bebida refrescante deliciosa. El desayuno muy rico y, para despedirnos, nos regaló un coco delicioso de su propio jardín.

Nos ofreció sus servicios con tuktuk, una lástima ya que habíamos alquilado uno previamente que nos resultó imposible cancelar.

Relaxed vibes, very clean, tasty breakfast, cool owner. Definitely recommend stay here.
Pros:

The location is near the Dambulla City center,
convenient for Dambulla caves and Sigria.

Property is managed very well, reality is same as pictures.

Breakfast served was tasty, I stayed for 3 days and onwer made sure different breakfast menu each day.
All and all I had great time here, relaxed vibes due to greenray and sitout maintained outside.

Nuovo, pulito e confortevole, con colazione eccellente, host gentilissimi e posizione comoda: soggiorno perfetto a un pr
Pros:

Struttura nuova di zecca con ampia camera, arredamento di gusto e molto confortevole. Pulizia impeccabile. Gli spazi all’aperto, con giardino immerso nella natura, rendono il soggiorno rilassante. Gli host sono gentili e premurosi, e la colazione è fantastica: tutto preparato con cura, soddisfacendo i nostri gusti. La posizione è comoda: tranquilla, ma a soli 5 minuti a piedi dalla strada principale dove si trova tutto il necessario. Le attrazioni locali sono facilmente raggiungibili.
Consiglio vivamente questa struttura! Purtroppo avevamo già programmato i giorni successivi del viaggio, altrimenti saremmo rimasti più a lungo. Miglior albergo finora, con un prezzo imbattibile.

Cons:

Non c’è assolutamente nulla da dire

Pros:

Ich hatte einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt hier! Das Zimmer ist sehr gut ausgestattet mit einem bequemen Bett, einer Klimaanlage, warmes Wasser, Kleiderschrank, Tisch und Fön. Alles ist extrem sauber, sowohl das Zimmer als auch der Gartenbereich vor dem Zimmer. Es steht auch durchgehend gefiltertes Wasser zur Verfügung.
Das Zentrum ist fußläufig erreichbar, trotzdem ist die Lage total ruhig, umgeben von viele Palmen.
Was mich aber am allermeisten beeindruckt hat, ist die Aufrichtigkeit und Herzlichkeit der gesamten Familie. Der Besitzer des kleinen Hotels bietet für seine Gäste auch Touren mit seinem Tuk Tuk an und ist insgesamt unglaublich aufmerksam und sehr darum bemüht, dass man einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt hat. Ich wünsche dieser Familie von Herzen alles Gute!

Pros:

Staying with Asanka and his family was a truly wonderful experience! Their kindness, hospitality, and warmth made us feel completely at home. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, and the attention they give to each guest is truly impressive. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, with something fresh and different every day. We also had lunch and dinner a few times (for an additional cost), and the food was just as amazing – homemade and full of flavor. Asanka also took us around all the local sights with his tuk-tuk, which made exploring the area very easy and enjoyable. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and pleasant stay in Sri Lanka!

I recommend this stay for amazing food, nice rooms and location and a lovely welcoming family.
Pros:

The location is great for Dambulla and Sigiriya. The rooms are lovely and clean. But most of all, the home cooked food is amazing!! The best food we had in our 3 week holiday. It was a great end to our stay in Sri Lanka. The family are so welcoming and super helpful. We stayed 2 nights and everything was just great.

Lovely Homestay
Pros:

This was our best homestay of the trip, Asanka and his family are lovely and they do everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Asanka drove us to all the spots we wanted to visit for a very good price. The food was delicious and the rooms are new and very clean. We are looking forward to coming back on our next trip in Sri Lanka!
