Sanji and Madhu were excellent hosts - From the time we stepped into the property to our departure, we were treated like family guests - We had all our Breakfasts and Dinners at the property. Everything which was served was excellent, prepared to perfection. The presentation was equally good. We discussed multiple topics in our 2 days stay with Sanjee and he showed us around the property. My daughter bonded so quickly with Yasashvi ( Sanjee/Madhu's 9 yr old daughter) that she still remembers and talks about her. There is also adorable large dog ( Windy ) as a pet - Madhu and her daughter accompanied us to Cave temples ( 4 min walk to reach the temple from the property ) and explained so many details / history / traditions of Buddhism. The climb to the temple is around 300 + stairs with Medium/Moderate elevation . During the climb we took photos of beautiful forest and mountains around the area. Rooms are excellent and with top notch conditions / amenities - Madhu , Sanjee are excellent hosts. I/my family would stay here again if we are in dambulla again - Do not miss to book this property during your visit in Dambulla.

I had a wonderful stay! The room was spacious, very comfortable, and equipped with everything I needed. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and incredibly generous — the perfect start to the day. The family is truly lovely, so kind, helpful, and attentive, which made me feel right at home. The house is set in a peaceful and relaxing environment, yet still close to many beautiful places to visit. And one of the highlights: watching monkeys from the balcony — such a magical experience! 🐒✨

The hosts are very kind and helpful. They collected us from the bus station in a tuktuk free of charge. They can also bring you to Sigiriya rock at sunrise. The breakfast was delicious local Sri Lankan food. The room was basic but comfortable with good aircon. Would really recommend this accommodation.

The host was super friendly and always addressed my notes perfectly. I arrived at 2 pm and asked him for lunch (I had not mentioned this when I booked). He was happy and asked me which food I liked and then he went to the market to buy and cook lunch for me. The price was also reasonable and the food was great (I had 1 breakfast and 2 lunches during my stay here). The room was big and clean. It had a great balcony for enjoying food with nature. The host gave us a ride to the bus station to go to Kandy for free. He instructed us on how to get the right bus and which bus should we take.

Had a super nice stay at Blue Mountain View. Went here because of the good reviews, especially about the host. Unfortunately the host wasn't around for most of our stay due to personal things, but Deshani (new employee) helped us very good! She showed us around the area during an evening walk and explained everything about the beautiful farmlands and their crops. All the best wishes to Pradeep and his family!

We had a great stay in Green Village Dambulla. Lovely, responsive, hospitable hosts. Felt like we were treated as friends rather than customers which was great! We also bought a trip to Sigiriya from them for a very reasonable price.

    Ruan was the most amazing host for this beautiful homestay. We exchanged a lot of stories and had such a great time with him and his family. They cooked amazing food for us, homegrown from their own farm and Ruan sat with us through each meal and we had great conversations with him. Loved out time there and would go back to Sri Lanka only to meet our friend again😊

    Clean bed and spacious room. The food was amazing and the host and his family were friendly and generous. The area was quiet but it was easy enough to get into Dambula town; the home stay was also very close to the cave temple and rock, an easy 15 minute walk.

    Host family are very friendly and kind. They prepared a huge breakfast for us every morning with tea and coffee. They also drove us to dinner when it was raining in their tuk tuk. There are mosquito nets over the bed. The hot water system doesn’t get super hot (which was the same in all our home stays) but it was warm. The home stay is walking distance from restaurants.

    My stay at Pradeep’s homestay was absolutely wonderful. The place is beautifully located offside the busy streets in a rural area. Homemade food, a stroll through the own garden, having a nap in the hammock and a swim in the nearby river - is everything you wish for. I could have stayed for 2 weeks easily. If you are looking for a calm place to ease off, a lovely family home stay and like to experience real life in sri lanka, this is the place to go! it‘s really 12/10.
