Paikka kaipaa ehostusta
Pros:

Allas oli leväinen. Puhdistusvälineet ui koko vierailun ajan altaassa. Ei tehnyt mieli uimaan. Huoneessa hyttysverkko oli asennettu niin, että tuuletinta ei voinut käyttää - verkko olisi mennyt solmuun lapojen ympärille. Kokonaisuus ihan ok. Vähemmän voisi henkilökunta "painostaa" asiakkaita. Hieman sellainen liika uteliaisuus ja tuputtaminen tuntui ikävältä.

Go to another place
Pros:

The worst experience ever. Someone stole my earphones and money in the room. If you ask about the tour and do not go on, they get mad and try to do the tour.

Friendly, accomodating and very surprising
Pros:

We came to stay just for the bed. The staff were amazing and generous. Very accommodating.
They organised tuktuk for Sigiriya Rock and Cave Temple and were willing to help in every possible way. Good food recommendations.

Sadly we didn't get time for the pool which looked so inviting

Loved our stay at this Hotel.
Pros:

We loved this hotel! Set off the main road in Dambulla,it is a little oasis. Quiet, comfortable and the staff were amazing. The breakfast was excellent, freshly prepared daily. There are a bunch of resorts up the road that cater to tour groups and you are stuck in the middle of nowhere. Here you are a short 5 min walk to the main street and markets, restaurants etc.
This place is a hidden gem.

Pros:

The room and shower are very basic but it was we needed for an overnight stay. The staff are extremely helpful and try and make your stay as comfortable as possible. The breakfast was amazing especially with the views.
The only thing is the room is right next to the restaurant and you can hear other guests and workers so it can be a bit loud.

One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at!
Pros:

Me and my family did a tour of Sri Lanka staying at 7 hotels over the 18 days. This was for me, the best hotel out of all of them. From the first moment we arrived, we were mesmerised by the layout of the complex. It looks amazing and very posh from the first impression!

The young men working for the hotel were all wearing traditional Sri Lankan uniforms. They were all very polite, professional and clearly knew about hospitality.

We were travelling with a private driver and they provided accommodation as well as breakfast to him free of charge!

We were welcomed with freshly made passion fruit juices (which were delicious!). The rooms were unbelievable- had AC, mosquito nets/repellent plugs, refridgerator, iron etc. The bathroom was also incredible. Very clean and professional. Felt like it was a 4-5 star standard easily!

The food was definitely one of the highlights for me. It was a traditional Singhalese Sri Lankan menu with lentils, sambar, appam and the most amazing Sri Lankan pancakes I've ever tasted in my life. I literally asked the waiter to tell them how amazing it was. The aunty came out and was beaming with joy- showing us the recipe and what goes into making it.

The overall hospitality of everyone at Hotel Freedom Village made it feel so homely. The owner even showed us around the grounds the next morning, letting us taste the fresh honey, mangoes from the trees etc.

We were sad to leave. This hotel is highly recommended for anyone staying in Dambulla!

Pros:

Room was huge, super clean and the staff were warm and friendly. I only stayed one night, but the food was great for lunch and dinner. The place was a little more remote so it's nice and quiet!

Dambulla's best
Pros:

Excellent accommodation both spacious and comfortable and spotlessly clean. Service was friendly and super efficient. best place in town for food which was both varied and of good quality at a very reasonable price.
Hotel provides transport to and from Sigarya. We went with 5 other staying at the hotel and including an extension on to the caves cost 1000 rupees each.
