Eden Grand
9.4 (56 reviews)

Eden Grand ★★★

📍 272, 6 Kurunegala Rd, Dambulla

"We had a one-night stay here visiting Dumbulla and Sigiriya. The hotel is accessible via an alley off the main road. The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. The hotel offers Western and local ala carte breakfast which we really enjoyed. Overall, it is great value for money."

The Paradise Dambulla
8.4 (62 reviews)

The Paradise Dambulla ★★★★★

📍 Kubukkadanwala, Dambulla

"The staff make this hotel. From our charming, attentive waiter Dananjaya who went out of his way to chat with us about the dishes we were eating to finding an elusive piece of chocolate fudge cake for me. The chef provide a feast every evening with plenty of choice for most people and diets. The reception staff and the customer relations ladies were delightful and couldn't do enough to help. We loved staying here."

Hotel Sigiriya
8.9 (182 reviews)

Hotel Sigiriya ★★★★

📍 Hotel Rd, Sigiriya

"1. The views from the hotel are first-class; you can see Sigiriya Rock right from the lobby. 2. The staff were also very polite. 3. The room layout was very strange; as soon as you opened the door, there was the bed. I finally managed to move the bed further inside, only to find it was directly facing a mirror. For those who don't mind, it's fine. 4. The breakfast was extremely unappetizing."

📍 Yapagama, Wijaya Kumaratunga Mawatha, Dambulla

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."

Arika Villa
8.7 (22 reviews)

Arika Villa ★★★★★

📍 Puwakattawala road, off dambulla Matale road, Dambulla

"Arika Villa was a peaceful small hotel hidden in a little forest cover between two small steams. We had a lovely family holiday looked after by the wonderful staff led by the resident manager Lucian. The food was good and rooms were well cared. Will definitely recommend to other and look forward to returning."

📍 63 KM post, Kany Rd, Pannampitya Junction, Dambulla

"A wonderful stay, incredible food and a great location for going to all the Dambulla sites. The staff were very attentive and the rooms are clearly very well kept and clean! Make sure you order the Kotthu as that was a stand out dish, and the best we had in Sri Lanka! In the rooms, it was a nice touch to have a fan and a/c as it’s good to have a choice - my wife doesn’t like a/c! My only feedback is that it should be mentioned more that the produce used is grown on site! We only found out on our last day, but it was really refreshing to hear when so many other hotels just import cheap fruit and veg!"

Amba Yaalu - Thema Collection
9.4 (16 reviews)

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

📍 Lot 16, Pihilla Mookalana, Katupotha, Kandalama

"Amba Yaalu — A Second Home for Soulful Rejuvenation My first stay at Amba Yaalu by Thema Collection was pure discovery. I came out of curiosity—wanting to experience, for the first time, the novelty and energy of a women-led resort. I left enchanted. But this second visit felt different—more intentional, more existential. I rebooked to continue my solo quest for soulful rejuvenation, tranquility, and serenity—the kind of restorative pause that leaves you resettled for the life you love, yet must return to: a job and day-to-day that asks a great deal. From the moment I arrived, I was beautifully cared for. The à la carte dining—with both Western and Sri Lankan options—did more than simply nourish my body. It re-ignited my appetite in the most genuine way. I ate with joy and intention, and somehow it even made me feel lighter and steadier within myself. I also took a private cookery lesson with the chef, and it was unforgettable. I didn’t just leave with a chef’s hat and a printed recipe book—I left with real skills, spice knowledge, and techniques I can bring home. I can already see myself sharing this with my colleagues, my friends, and of course my beloved family. And yes—I even had to tease the chef, because I loved her food so much that this post-menopausal woman ate so well that my cholesterol and blood pressure readings came down…and I genuinely started to develop a “food baby”. 😂😂😂 Finally, to the management and leadership: as an educator in ancient history, I know great women when I meet them—Helen of Troy, Cleopatra… and beyond. At Amba Yaalu, the leadership feels like that same kind of powerful grace. It isn’t only about running a beautiful resort—it’s about building something that matters. To Amba Yaalu and everyone who made this stay feel like a true haven: thank you for giving me a serenity I could feel in my bones—and a renewed strength for what comes next."

We had an early departure on our last day, but they adjusted the time to accommodate and allowed us to receive our treatment. It was a hotel where we wanted to stay longer."

Hotel Sigiriya ★★★★
"When searching for a hotel before our trip, we stumbled upon this place and fell in love with it instantly, despite the price. After checking in, we realized that this location is absolute perfection: completely secluded yet within walking distance to both Lion Rock and Pidurangalla Rock. There are plenty of cafés and even gastropubs nearby, the grounds are impeccably clean and well-maintained, and the view of Lion Rock from the pool is simply breathtaking."

Heritance Kandalama ★★★★★
"Nestled amidst Sri Lanka's lush jungle landscape, Heritance Kandalama offers an unparalleled retreat that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff provided a warm and professional welcome, setting the tone for an exceptional stay. The hotel's architectural design, a masterpiece by Geoffrey Bawa, is both innovative and environmentally conscious, blending modern luxury with the beauty of the natural environment. Our room featured panoramic views of the Kandalama Reservoir, allowing us to wake up to the serene sights and sounds of nature. The property boasts three distinct swimming pools, including an infinity pool that appears to merge with the lake, offering breathtaking vistas. Dining at Heritance Kandalama is a culinary delight. The Kanchana Restaurant offers an extensive buffet with a variety of Sri Lankan and international dishes, all while providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Throughout our stay, the staff consistently demonstrated attentiveness and professionalism, ensuring that every aspect of our visit was comfortable and memorable. Heritance Kandalama is more than just a hotel; it's an experience that celebrates the harmony between luxury and nature."
