Heritance Kandalama ★★★★★

📍 Heritance Kandalama 11, Kandalama

"Beautiful resort. The decor in the rooms is a bit dated but authentic to the architect. Would like to see the rooms updated a bit but still 100% worth it and would stay here again as is."

Amba Yaalu - Thema Collection "The First Women-LED Hotel in Sri Lanka" ★★★★★

📍 Lot 16, Pihilla Mookalana, Katupotha, Kandalama

"From the moment I arrived in the lobby, I felt wonderful and at ease. The welcome was perfect, with smiles on every face, and the place was meticulously maintained. The pool is lovely, and the birdsong added to the pleasure of staying at this Thema Group hotel. The manager and her team were incredibly attentive at every moment, discreet yet elegant. THANK YOU"

Jetwing Lake

Jetwing Lake ★★★★★

📍 Yapagama, Wijaya Kumaratunga Mawatha, Dambulla

"There is no other favorite hotel in Sri Lanka. It is located near the central Sigiriya Rock, just over 10 minutes’ drive from the Dambulla Caves, and not far from the Kandalama Heritage Hotel... Compared to the Heritage Hotel, this is a small hotel. It is relatively new due to its late opening. The environment is very good and there is a small lake in front, which is no less than the Heritage Hotel Industrial Nordic design style, very simple and atmospheric, the room is large and comfortable to live in~ 70-meter long swimming pool, almost no one during the day, check-in is also very good! The all-day restaurant has good breakfast and dinner, and dinner is self-catering"

Sigiriya Village ★★★★★

📍 Hotel Rd, Sigiriya

"It’s good if you want to experience living in a forest area. It’s very near some quaint little cafes outside the hotel facing the lion rock fortress aka sigiriya rock. If you are looking for 5 star hotel , it is not. It’s good for the locality, clean Very peaceful and pleasant place."

Eden Grand
9.4 (56 reviews)

Eden Grand ★★★

📍 272, 6 Kurunegala Rd, Dambulla

"We stayed at the Eden Grand Hotel for two days and absolutely loved it. Although it can be a little tricky to find, the hotel is beautifully located at the edge of the forest, where monkeys leap from tree to tree. The rooms are cozy and well-designed, with a spacious, comfortable bed, modern bathroom and an AC. The service was exceptional. Breakfast is freshly prepared just for you, and the food was fantastic. The hotel also offers its own tuktuk driver, making it easy to visit nearby attractions like Sigiriya Rock. All in all, the Eden Grand Hotel is a charming and peaceful retreat and the Service will try its best to make your stay memorable."

Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort Sigiriya
8.9 (11 reviews)

Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort Sigiriya ★★★★

📍 Pothana, Kimbissa, Dambulla

"Great stay! Room was huge and very comfortable, the massage was great and the staff extremely kind, including Lakshan and Irshan. Restaurant’s food is very good; breakfast serving is a bit slower than the time agreed, just keep that in mind if you have a packed schedule. This is the only minor flaw, for the rest the resort is super recommended! Would come back anytime"

The River House Dambulla The Serendipity Collection ★★★★

📍 147/9, Wijaya Kumararthunga Mw, Siyambala Wewa, Dambulla

"It was absolutely amazing experience. We came from Japan & came to highland area to escape the city busyness. We are astonished about this hidden gem. As we came in we were welcomed with fantastic passion fruit juice. We came after dark & only requested simple white rice & fried vegetable but the chef and her staff made an amazing dinner with simple vegetable & rice. I realized how food prepared with heart can heal our soul. I was kept thinking if people in the world could eat this kind of food with real soul in it, could heal the whole world!! It is so amazing to be surrounded by beautiful trees &sounds of animals. I will definitely come back again. O"

Sigiriya King's Resort Hotels in Dambulla

Sigiriya King's Resort

"A most amazing place to spend a few days exploring Sigiriya. The location is set on a beautiful lake with views of the two rocks which you can climb during your stay. The rooms are huge and very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and can’t do enough for you. The food was amazing too. Would definitely return to this hotel if we came back to visit Sri Lanka again."

The Otunna Guest House Sigiriya Hotels in Dambulla

The Otunna Guest House Sigiriya

"Dinesh and his family make The Otunna Guest House 5 star in every aspect. It’s everything we hoped for in Sigiriya: beautifully appointed comfortable wooden chalets set in a quiet jungle garden close to Lions Rock. The food was outstanding. We ate breakfast and dinner everyday for our 3-day stay. Dinesh’s mother cooked a superb selection of Sri Lankan dishes. We slept soundly in a fully air conditioned room with comfortable beds and a spacious bathroom. Dinesh was always on hand to help us organise activities and transfers, including our trip to Lions Rock, a safari at the National Park, and our trip to the Dambulla Cave Temple. We loved every second and could not recommend The Otunna Guest House highly enough."

Milano Grand Hotels in Dambulla

Milano Grand

"A good hotel, a friendly receptionist who'll show you around and give you advice. The location is excellent, right across from the bus station for both Sigiriya and Kandy. The Golden Buddha Temple is also within walking distance. The breakfasts are good, with lots of fruit and delicious food. The room is just like any other room, with hot water, good air conditioning, and a comfortable bed. I definitely recommend it."

Amron Resort Sigiriya Hotels in Dambulla

Amron Resort Sigiriya

"This is a warm and welcoming family-run inn. The owner greeted us in the morning and evening, and the grandfather and children took care of us at other times. Our room was on the first floor, but the second floor was being renovated during our stay. The room was generally dark, and we noticed some dust and a musty smell. The shower had hot water and drained well. Amenities included bath towels and soap. There was no hairdryer. There was an extra charge to use the air conditioner. It was hot, so we paid for the entire night upfront, but it was the right decision as the air conditioner reduced the musty smell. Breakfast is served at a table in front of the room for two people, and at a larger table in the public area for more than two people. The fruit and coconut sambal were delicious! The garden was beautiful, and we enjoyed the local atmosphere that you don't get at typical hotels. While the cleanliness was a concern, the owner and grandfather were very kind. In Sigiriya, where many hotels are expensive, we were very satisfied with the service at this price. There are many restaurants and shops nearby, and several laundromats within walking distance. There are also places to buy alcohol within walking distance, which was very convenient."

Amba Yaalu - Thema Collection "The First Women-LED Hotel in Sri Lanka" ★★★★★
"This is a very nice hotel that is light and airy, and gives you a sense of being in the country. The staff are wonderful and make the experience what it is. Breakfast and dinner are very good, although it would be great to see more variation. Dambulla town has quite limited food options, so hotels like this are often the only choice for guests. The location is good - near to Dambulla, Sigiriya and only 1.5 hours from Anuradhapura. It would be nice to go for walks near to the hotel including to the lake. It is possible but there are guard dogs for the homes on the path to the hotel which makes for a less than relaxing walk. Overall, an excellent hotel"

Jetwing Lake ★★★★★
"The hotel is very beautiful and very integrated with nature. It is very close to Dambulla. The Jetwing Group is all plastic-free and has a strong environmental awareness. I like it very much. The check-in speed was a bit slow, but welcome drinks and snacks were provided during the check-in. The room is very large and an extra bed was given. It was very comfortable to stay with 3 adults and 1 child. The dinner buffet was booked starting at 7 o'clock. There were quite a lot of choices and the price was reasonable. The only thing I was not satisfied with was that we were in rooms 220 and 221, which were right above the restaurant, and right above the scrambled eggs + barbecue. The cooking smell was very strong after the restaurant opened, and the buffet was very noisy at night. The noise was not over until the restaurant was cleaned up in the middle of the night, which was not friendly to young children. Families who sleep light must avoid the rooms above the restaurant when booking, especially 220/221"

Kalundewa Retreat ★★★★★
"Kalundewa retreat is a beutiful place designed preserving the nature. The service provided is also as expected and the food was also tasty. Staff is also nice and friendly and is always available for anything you need. We stayed at karanda chalet and the chalet was also spacious enough. The garden is also well maintained and overall it’s a beutiful place. Few recommendations that is better if done. 1. On top of the karanda chalet outdoor pool it’s a tree with lots of bats. As nature calls their feces also sometimes fall into the pool and a lot of leaves too fall into the pool. We are very happy to see the pool in the middle of nature but having a dip and swimming in that outdoor pool is a bit risky.. so we didnt swim. If you can please clean the pool as much as possible before the guests arrive and try to come up with an idea to cover the pool when not in use. 2. So many glasses at karanda chalet are at a location that is not possible to clean daily.. clean them as much as possible and try to clean the outdoor glass doors before the next guest arrives ( so they have a crystal clear view through the glasses) 3. When we arrived a lot of leaves were fallen on the outdoor deck and the day bed cushions were not cleaned. I understand that according to the location of the karanda chalet if is very hard to keep it clean with the monkeys and the massive amount of large trees on top of it but I feel you can give a bit more effort to clean and keep to give a good looking first impression about the chalet to the guests. Please clean the outdoor day bed cushions and keep them separately so the guests can use them when needed ( otherwise the monkeys sit on them and make it dirty) 4. Bathroom is nice but being a five star hotel the bathroom amneties could have been of better quality. When ever possible please replace them to a luxury category. Also please keep up with your service. We had a nice stay there."

Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort Sigiriya ★★★★
"My partner and I recently spent a few days at Ayugiri Wellness Resort, and it was exactly what we needed. From the moment we arrived, everything felt calm, peaceful, and welcoming. The surroundings are beautiful, with plenty of nature and a relaxing atmosphere that helps you slow down and switch off from everyday life. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with a smile, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We especially loved the wellness experience, the healthy and delicious food, and the peaceful environment. It was the perfect place for us to spend quality time together, relax, and recharge. What stood out most was how genuine and caring everyone was. Nothing felt rushed, and the whole experience felt very personal and thoughtful. If you’re looking for a peaceful couples’ getaway or a wellness retreat in Sri Lanka, I would definitely recommend Ayugiri Wellness Resort. We left feeling refreshed, happy, and already talking about coming back someday. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable!"

The River House Dambulla The Serendipity Collection ★★★★
"Nestled by the serene Dambulu Oya (River) and surrounded by trees, my friends and I thought we were in for a chill time. But, surprise! The garden was a bird paradise! I snapped some epic shots and saw over 40 bird species, including some Endemics. And trust me, you've gotta catch the sunrise on a hike to Dahaiya Kanda. It's like nature's own light show!"
