We stayed 2 nights in a golden ayur eco villa which was well-priced and the rooms were comfortable, a calm place with an herbal plant surrounding our room. They organized a wild safari to the Minneriya National park. We saw a huge elephant gathering including babies, along with a variety of other wildlife such as birds, monkeys, and crocodiles. In addition there is a short distance from this place to Dambulla cave temple which is definitely worth to visit. We highly recommend GOLDEN ECO AYUR VILLA for the tourist destination in Dambulla.

This place was such a pleasant surprise! They opened recently, so everything is brand new and perfect, but what really stands out is how much the owners clearly love what they do. You can immediately feel it in the cleanliness, the kindness, and even the care they put into the decorations. The bathrooms are spacious and spotless, the beds are very comfortable, and everything feels welcoming. Truly recommended!

Eric Eugene
From
South Korea
The room was large, clean, and comfortable. It had strong water pressure with hot water, and great air-con. It says ‘Eric~South Korea’ I guess because I’m here now. I’m from California and I’ve traveled 126 countries. I was very sick when I arrived at the hotel. I slept long time. When I woke up, I came out and the first thing they did was offer to bring breakfast at 11:30am on several plates. That never happened to me in Cal., any other state in my country, and no other time in these other countries, except this place. When was the last time you were offered the complimentary breakfast at 11:30am?!

I stumbled upon Moi Dambulla by DBI quite randomly, and I’m so glad I did! The photos honestly don’t do justice to how charming and spacious the place really is. The Deluxe Rooms are massive, with big balconies and roomy bathrooms — perfect for stretching out and relaxing. The highlight? The Moi Wattiya breakfast — beautifully arranged and absolutely delicious. Every morning, I was greeted by monkeys swinging through the trees, which added a fun and wild touch to the stay. If you're a nature lover, you'll love the setting! The team is made up of warm, friendly locals who go out of their way to help and share amazing recommendations about the area. Their hospitality made such an impression that I ended up continuing my journey with Moi Hotels — staying at Moi Ella and Moi Galle Fort afterwards. Highly recommend if you're looking for something spacious, peaceful, and rooted in local charm.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay at Hotel Golden Ray!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay at Hotel Golden Ray! My experience at Hotel Golden Ray was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing a perfect space to relax after exploring Dambulla. The hotel’s atmosphere is peaceful and charming, with a great balance between modern comfort and natural surroundings. The food was delicious and freshly prepared, and I truly appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of the service. I highly recommend Hotel Golden Ray to anyone visiting Dambulla — it’s a perfect place for both leisure and business stays. I’ll definitely return on my next visit! 🌿✨

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.

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.

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.

I loved everything they have amazing vibe, nothing was to much trouble . All staff kind and helpful. Dambulla is quiet but has local shops, cafes Pizza Hut, great small restaurant a few miles from Evergreen serving very good food. It's run by the people who run Evergreen. So recommended by me.. Anything you want to do or go and see will be arranged for you Tuk Tuk guy is a staff member . If you need car/driver it will be arranged.

We had a very warm welcome and were given fresh mango juice from the garden which was a lovely touch. The pool is fantastic and the place is a stones throw from the hustle and bustle of Dambulla. Easy to get a bus at just before 7am to Sigiriya, less than a two min walk. We were given some mangoes to take with us which was very kind. Hotel still has renovations going on, so it’s fantastic value for money

The hotel is very close to central Dambulla, but lovely and quiet at night. The view over the rice fields was wonderful, and the owners were so kind and welcoming. Breakfast was good, and my sister particularly enjoyed the American-style pancakes and the fishpond in the dining area. The water pressure in the shower is excellent! The balcony was very nice to sit out on too.
