Seerock the King's Domain

Dambulla
I'm a frequent traveler and I was tempted to try out this hotel as I came across one of their offers. I called the hotel and checked their availability and placed a temporary booking. Then I confirmed the offer and made the payment and requested them to send the booking confirmation. I had been trying for 3 days to get a booking confirmation from them!!! But still had NO success. I travel a quite a lot and sending a booking confirmation is a matter of few minutes usually. I was surprised why it is taking them days to send a simple booking confirmation. I have made more than 10 calls over the past 3 days to ask for the booking. Also, to my surprise I found that the last few calls made to the landline were intentionally picked up and cancelled. (This is a FIRST in many of my travels). Also, I had the feeling that the first female agent who picked up the reservation was clueless. She was not good in her English, so I spoke to her in Sinhalese. Whenever I inquired about the booking she will reply saying it will be sent shortly. But it never came in the first 3 days. What a waste of time! Finally on the fourth day another reservation executive picks up the call and sends me a booking for a different set of days. I tried to call and ask them to correct it. But the hotel never picked up any of their phones. So i finally decided to cancel the booking. I'm sure they have made a Blunder somewhere!!! hence this reaction! I have seen hotels make mistakes before but the quality hotels always try to make amends and will usually try to check with the customer and correct it. This is a good sign of the lack of quality and lack of training of the staff. If the staff is this negligent and rude even prior to your arrival, I'm glad I didn't go there to find out!

Wild Grass Nature Resort
4.6/530 Reviews

Wild Grass Nature Resort

Dambulla|9.88km from city centre
It’s my second trip to Sri Lanka and I am so glad I found this hidden gem! I have loved my stay at wild grass. The villa was huge, minimalist, refined, tranquil with all the essentials I needed. The balcony perfect for a relaxing beer, reading a book or simply meditating or sitting with the sounds of nature around you. Showering outdoors as tropical rain poured down or stars shone above was great. Wifi was good. I saw monkeys, birds, frogs, turtles even a chicken in the grounds. The perfect place for an escape from life, that you may never know you needed so much and may find yourself considering staying for a life in the tropics once you realise you did. A handy base for exploring rocks, ruins, mountains, rice fields, village life and more without too much travelling time. Recommend to hire a driver/car for your stay as it is a bit remote so this gives you freedom to go as you please. Staff were super kind, attentive, caring and helpful and ensured I had everything I needed during my stay even with our super early 4am exhausted arrival! We did miss traffic and sites along the way and it was a pleasure to wake up from that long travelling day in such a nice place but if a long drive after your flight isn’t your thing consider a night closer to airport first and head up next day if your flight arrives late. The meals we’re delicious and high quality, you must have the curries and the sri lankan breakfast 🤤 Nice pool and everything was clean, tidy, extremely diligent to covid protocols and mainly outdoors so low risk in that respect given the times we find ourselves travelling in. The bonus of that I was privileged to stay at a time when the resort, the island itself was having only minimal tourists so don’t waste time thinking about it book your stay as soon as you can get here and take advantage of that luxury as this magical island can be busy sometimes. A bit sad to be changing places tomorrow after such a lovely stay in the tranquil calming surrounds of wild grass but look forward to a trip back and pleased to be able to recommend it to others and thank all the staff that looked after me during my stay!

Sundaras Resort & Spa Dambulla
4/527 Reviews
Sundaras Resort Dambulla is an amazing place to stay. My wife and I stayed three days at this hidden gem in the middle of a nature reserve. The hospitality was great with an extremely friendly and helpful staff, especially Sindu at the front office and Tito. The facilities, although not luxury, are quite delightful and good value for the cost. Every meal was an amazing array of traditional and delicious Sri Lankan dishes. A big advantage is that Sundaras is so close to many of the tourist attractions. We used the hotel tour service to visit places like Sigiriya, Pidurangala and Polonnaruwa. AK (Ekanayake), our tour guide was a wonderful man with great knowledge about the local scene and historical sites, to give us detailed descriptions about them. The inviting swimming pool at Sundaras, when we returned from the trips, in the hot evening, was another great feature. It was so refreshing and relaxing. Then there was the pool bar, manned by an extremely friendly guy to make and serve a delicious cocktail or a fruit juice. So, thank you to all at Sundaras for making our stay, a joy. Hopefully, we can be there again, some time.
Sigiri Queens Guest House
4/52 Reviews
I loved my stay here- it was ideally located to hike Pidurangala rock (with a great view of Lions Rock) and the family were very friendly and extremely accommodating. We had home cooked food for dinner and breakfast with huge portions, and it was some of the most delicious food I had in Sri Lanka! It was an amazing experience staying in a treehouse and felt really immersed in nature. The family also have a tuc tuc with great rates and they drove us to Dambulla temples the next day, and waited for us to finish with our belongings so he could drop us in the main town to get a bus to Kandy! Such wonderful and helpful people and a bargain price. Can’t recommend enough.
Jetwing Lake
4.7/541 Reviews
I had a wonderful three-night stay at Jetwing Lake as a foreign tourist. I was a little nervous as to what to expect traveling to Sri Lanka as part of the tourist bio-bubble, given the current COVID- related restrictions. However, my concerns quickly dissipated, and I was so happy with my choice to stay at Jetwing Lake. This was the perfect base from which to explore the sites of the Cultural Triangle. The hotel itself is quite beautiful and well maintained. My Super Deluxe room was very spacious, had a beautiful bathroom (and lovely soaking tub), and a lovely patio/deck overlooking the pool and lake. The room was equipped with all the modern comforts. The food at the hotel was delicious and varied. The Sri Lanka fare did not disappoint, including the chicken curry and potato and leek burger. The cheesecake was also a delightful surprise. What set this hotel apart was the service, though. Everyone went out of their way to see to my every need, from learning my dining preferences to greeting me by name. The hotel staff even organized an afternoon cricket session, just for me. It was an incredible experience. I would absolutely stay here again, and I recommend to anyone interested in staying (whether locals or foreign tourists alike). Such a great experience!
Sigiriana Resort by Thilanka
4/546 Reviews
This is the best and best hotel to stay in during your stay in Lanka! The entire hotel is in a mango garden, the environment is very beautiful! The hotel is also very clean and the service is in place. The breakfast was very good and the place to eat was great! Overlooking the pool and a large green area, it is simply a beautiful experience. The environment is fragrant, and there are nights at night. The security is also very good. Especially on the second day because of the urgency, my lover put some valuables in the room, our bags are already on the way to Nuvo, and it has been open for 20 minutes. After suddenly thinking about the amount, the DILI driver was very enthusiastic to help the hotel call, the other party sent someone to say that they were still in the room, and then rushed back to the hotel to take it, which was a sigh of relief. Thank you for the hotel! In addition, this hotel room is to be locked with a key, not directly locked to the door, this should be noted. After we checked in, I went to Lion Rock after cleaning up. When my lover locked the door, I brought it directly to the door. When I came back, I opened the door with a single push. Fortunately, nothing was lost. This shows that this hotel is really ok. Of course, if you have to live in this hotel, you still have to keep your belongings safe. There is a safe in the room.
