This place is absolutely amazing! The host Nuwan and his family are so nice and friendly, they make you feel at home from the first moment. Nuwan not only helped us organize our activities in the area by sharing with us the most beautiful places to see around, taking in to consideration what we were also interested in, but also drove us around to amazing local places in his tuk tuk. He took us to the village temple which has spectacular views of the area and a secret spot to view the birds just after sunset and they are both really recommended! His wife and 2 kids are also very polite and cute and always ready to help have the best experience. Thanks for offering this great experience and we hope to see you again some day!

The place was really nice and clean. The bed was one of the most comfortable ones on our whole trip. The place is a little outside of the city but we enjoyed the quiet and relaxed atmosphere and we could walk to the cave temple. But what made the stay special were our lovely hosts! They made sure we were always comfortable, helped us arranging a safari and our next stay. We even spent one evening together on the balcony talking for hours. It was great talking to locals and getting a chance to ask all of our questions that came up during our time in Sri Lanka. Thank you very much!

The accommodation is in a very calm and quiet place. Family environment, super small garden and comfortable, fully equipped room. The owner Nimal and his family are very helpful and kind. They take me everywhere with their own tuk tuk. I spent great days here.

Some of the kindest hosts we've ever stayed with! Anu and her family do everything they can to make your stay comfortable. Anu's mother is an amazing cook and the breakfast (which is included) is traditional Sri Lankan and super delicious and there's almost too much of it, you will never leave hungry! The same goes for the dinner which is also strongly recommended. The terrace is super nice, with a view of the garden where monkeys and other animals sometimes come to visit. The location is good with just a short walk to the cave temples, the city center or the bus terminal. The room was basic but spacious and clean, and the bed had a mosquito net. We will definitely come back if we're in Dambulla again someday and will recommend everyone to stay here!

Maybe Blue Mountains View is not directly on a touristic route but this is also part of its charme and we loved the rural area and quietness! Pradeep is the best host we ever had. He told us a lot about life in Sri Lanka, showed us his fathers farm, helped whenever he could and really conects with kids (as he is also a teacher!!). All guests had breakfast and dinner together in the yard - very enjoyable and delicious.Thanks to the amazing cooking of Pradeeps mother. We will come again, hopefully. Thanks a lot.

Athula and his family are absolutely wonderful hosts. Athula takes his role as a host seriously and puts so much time and effort into ensuring his guests have an exceptional experience. One example is that we had a power outage (across the whole village) and Athula promptly got on the phone to the electricity authority to arrange for the power to be reconnected, and it was sorted within half an hour or so! He also drove me to and from town for a very reasonable rate (and initially refused payment for my last trip to the bus station until I insisted). The property is in a peaceful part of town — a little bit of a walk from the city centre but manageable. The room was impeccably clean and Athula’s family put a lot of thought into preparing the room, particularly with small (but appreciated!) details — towels folded into beautiful designs, a water bottle, etc. The air conditioning was much appreciated in Dambulla’s heat, too! The breakfast was super generous (far too much food for me!) and lovely. Athula also arranged a wonderful tuk tuk driver to take me to Sigiriya for sunrise, and on the way back the driver took me to a several other fantastic viewpoints — I really recommend the driver, he’s a lovely and reliable guy. Honestly, this place is incredible value for money and Athula is an exceptional host. I can’t recommend Green Village highly enough!

We had an amazing stay at this accommodation! The room was spotless, offering a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The dinner served was absolutely delicious, with flavors that really stood out. What made the experience even better was the host—truly one of the kindest and most helpful people I've encountered. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. The location is perfect, directly opposite the exit of the Dambulla Caves, making it super convenient for sightseeing. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

    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.
