- From US$166.14 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very good - What previous guests thought, 426 reviewsIt is in the best location if you are looking to hike Lion Rock and see the surrounding attractions. Super rooms & the pool was very peaceful and a great place to relax after a morning hike. The quality of the A la Carte food was also super good. The open restaurant area was extremely beautiful, and many superb foods in the buffet. We spoke to the chef regarding recommendations; he took us & explained the buffet, and there was a buffet for the breakfast & dinner. The reception staff all gathered & waved when we were leaving the hotel, We missed this hotel…..Guest review byJackNew Zealand
- From US$371.76 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.0Superb - What previous guests thought, 127 reviewsA stunning location and a resort with a unique feel to it. We loved that the rooms are all tucked away among rice paddies, lily ponds, or open out onto the water body that teems with bird life, fish, and some crocs. We appreciated the nature-conscious philosophy of the hotel and their efforts to respect the wildlife of the area. The evening dining is very good, the rooms beautiful, spacious, and tasteful and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The heat is quite something so we really recommend the rooms with small plunge pools.Guest review byFrancoise GalletSouth Africa
- From US$136.29 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very good - What previous guests thought, 1,948 reviewsA beautiful hotel with superb views of Sigirya Rock. The hotel employees, in particular Tharashi at reception and Lal the room boy, are highly recommended for their hospitality. Breakfast is plentiful with choice of European and local food. Cleaniness excellent. Hotel decor very pleasing to the eye. 5 star service in this highly recommended hotel. Ideally located to visit all the sites in the area including Sigiriya Rock, Minneriya National Park and the ancient ruins at Sigiriya among so many other things to see.Guest review byAlfredMalta
- From US$367.20 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.9Good - What previous guests thought, 36 reviewsThis was our 4th visit to Wild Grass and once more it didn't disappoint. Loved everything! Wild Grass is absolutely stunning and so peaceful. The villas are very modern but sympathetic to the surroundings and so spacious. AC was very efficient. And the bathroom!!! Loved it, especially the outdoor shower. Since our last visit some of the villas now have pools overlooking the lake. I'm so glad we decided to go with one of these rooms. The staff and Mr Nimal all went out of their way to be helpful.Guest review byJaneUnited Kingdom

It was the first time I was in a hotel and I opened the door of my room and I was able to see monkeys, peacocks and squirrels. This along with the warmth of the staff (including receptionists, yoga masters, doctor and massage therapists) makes it a experience I will always rememberGuest review byEnriqueSpain

I’ll never forget the day we spent climbing Sigiriya.
I’ll never forget the day we spent climbing Sigiriya. And no wonder such a wonderful World Heritage Site kept popping up everywhere: Test it against the massive old fortress, the gorgeous frescoes, and images taken of landscapes from the summit, and there you’ll pick one of Sri Lanka’s greatest treasures. Not an easy or casual climb but certainly one that throws panoramic views so very far worth it and lucid into history at every step. Water gardens at the bottom quite worth a visit. One has to get there at dawn to avoid numerous tourists and scorching sun. Thus, in general, Sigiriya is a combination of artistic creation, engineering work of antiquity, and a miracle of nature, and a must-see site in Sri Lanka.Guest review byShironSri Lanka - 10.0

We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.Guest review byImanAustralia - 10.0

A beautiful place on earth that there are lots of 360 degree view points. But if it rains it will ruin your plans. So make sure you depend on weatherly and visit Matale when it shows many continuous sunny days. Even on cloudy forecasts do not visit as all mointain tops then will be covered and you will not see the sights. when it is humid leaches also will be active and will become a painful experience.Guest review byUdanaSri Lanka - 10.0
There is so much more to do in this area than I realised.
There is so much more to do in this area than I realised. I will definitely come back. The area is beautiful and we were sad to leave. We dud Pidurangala Rock which was fun, more of an adventurous climb than Lions Rock. It has incredible views of Lions Rock. We also did a safari in Minneriya National Park. The park was beautiful and we saw so many elephants plus lots of varieties of birds, golden jackals, monkees, mongoose, the grizzled giant squirrel, buffalo and jungle foul. We also went to Dambula Temple Caves which is very spiritual and Luckgrove Spice Gardens which was an incredible experience. Highly recommend this area.Guest review byHazelIreland - 10.0
Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy,...
Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. We stayed there for 4 Nights and could cover the heritage sites easily. Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.Guest review byMalayIndia - 8.0

Mainly there are 10-12 attractions in Matale. As I just stayed one day which was not sufficient to visit all the places. Among them where I went were also hampered due to the rain at time to time. Generally Matele was quit good tourist destination if it is planned well with couple of days.Guest review byroshan jayawickramaSri Lanka - 10.0
A nice hike to view a breathe taking view.
A nice hike to view a breathe taking view. If anyone should travel to Sigiriya they should start to climb the rock at 5.30am as the ticket counters open. Wearing proper hiking or workout clothes would be the best.Guest review byGavin RosayroSri Lanka - 10.0

Dambulla is truly the perfect gateway to explore Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle! Located at the heart of this historic region, it offers unbeatable access to some of the country’s most iconic sites. From Dambulla, you’re just a short drive from the majestic Sigiriya Rock Fortress, the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, and the sacred ruins of Anuradhapura. The Dambulla Cave Temple itself is a stunning treasure, filled with ancient statues and beautiful murals. With its central location, Dambulla is the ideal base for exploring these cultural wonders, while also providing a peaceful escape surrounded by nature. Whether you're into history, culture, or simply breathtaking landscapes, Dambulla is the best place to start your journey through Sri Lanka’s rich heritage.Guest review byDavid
