Near the Dambulla Cave Temple, you’ll find a fantastic dinner option featuring some of the best fried rice paired with delicious chicken curry—a must-try for food lovers! The host, Charuka, is exceptionally friendly and will make your experience even more memorable.

We’re a couple of very experienced travellers. We’ve stayed in some of the best hotels around the world. There are many times that these five star hotels just don’t live up to expectations. Here, we took a chance as all the reviews seemed almost too good to be true. Since our stay at Kandalama Lodge we’ve stayed in many hotels around Sri Lanka. A handful were more costly than Kandalama Lodge and each time we’ve been disappointed. Wedge, the hotel owner was one the most thoughtful and intuitive hoteliers that I’ve come across in this country! His team at the lodge also understood the standards he expected. The lodge has been crafted with such care and precision in a way I’ve not seen anywhere else in Sri Lanka. The layout of the lodge, the plants and flowers around the pool, dining and bar area are reminiscent for me of a high end lodge I stayed at in Bali. Perfection! Don’t get me started on the dreamy outdoor bathroom, wow! Also, I have to say, the food is superb and reasonably priced. Amila is always on hand with his tuk tuk and he’s just the nicest person. The price to go to Lion Rock and Dambulla Cave were reasonable and he didn’t try to upsell us at all. The grounds boys are lovely and keep the pool area and grounds tidy. Honesty I can’t say enough about this place, thank you so much Wedge! I hope we have the pleasure to stay with you again one day.

Villa Hanguk is an ideal spot if you plan to explore the Dambulla area. The owner is incredibly helpful, offering assistance with scooter or tuk-tuk rentals and organizing local trips. The villa is nestled just 400 meters from the main city street, surrounded by lush paddy fields. The beautifully maintained garden is filled with vibrant plants and flowers, offering plenty of cozy spots to relax—whether in a hammock, at a dining area, or playing table games. Being in the middle of nature, you can expect the delightful sounds of wildlife, including peacocks. It truly adds to the charm of the place. One of the highlights of our stay was the Sri Lankan food. The meals were not only delicious but also generously portioned. I highly recommend skipping outside restaurants and instead asking the staff to prepare dinner for you—you won’t be disappointed!

We stayed in 8 different hotels and homestays during our trip and this one was the best by far. The couple managing the facility had a great job to create a very special environment and experience. The rooms were very clean, decorated with flowers etc. The breakfast was the best. They gave us great tips, suggestions for our trip. We felt like we are part of the family. The facility is very close to the Dambulla Cave Temple but it is also in a very silent corner with a great garden. You can see monkeys, giant squirrel, birds and other wildlife just around the facility. We definitely suggest this place to anyone traveling around Dambulla.

Excellent hospitality. Room was cool, clean, and comfortable. Very relaxing being in a hammock in the middle of a jungle. There’s a bus stop on the main road right by the house (it’s 1 stop away from Dambulla town) and it’s easy to catch a bus to here from Colombo.
