Lodges in Dambulla

Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, the food was amazing and the grounds were very clean. It’s a little way out of town but quiet so you could get a good nights sleep.

spacious and clean accommodation in a beautiful garden, caring owners, excellent breakfast and the possibility of a great home-cooked dinner. the pool is beautiful, there is enough space in the area to relax and plan your next trip. there are many opportunities to buy fruit in the vicinity and the location of the accommodation is perfect. excellent experience!

This place was an absolute experience! The views were seriously breathtaking and most of all if you are looking to relax, connect with nature and have the best time disconnecting this is the ideal place. The food served was really delicious as well. Would recommend this 100% to anyone travelling solo or with a family.

We stayed 2 nights at the Sigiri art home. It is a lovely place hidden in the jungle. From the comfortable furniture at the patio, you can enjoy the sights of the beautiful garden. When we arrived we were welcomed very kindly. The room and bathroom were clean and the bed was very comfortable. The AC functioned perfectly. In the morning we got a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast. The host and his wife are kindhearted and want to make sure your stay is up to your wishes. When we ran out of gas with our rented tuk tuk, the host even brought us to a gas station to get a bottle of fuel. He was truly a lifesaver.

This was by far the most beatiful host we ever had! This Family made our stay unforgetable, the nature is very beatiful and the breakfast was so so so delicious! The Treehouse was very comfortable!!!

if you like to feel at one with nature this is the place so lovely to relax and listen to the birds

The room was incredibly comfortable and clean! Hosts went above and beyond to help me. Great bathrooms with hot water. Lovely atmosphere, great privacy in the garden but still supported when I needed something

Machcha Lodge was one of our favorite stays in Sri Lanka. Kamal was the kindest, most generous host and was eager to help with anything we needed. Our family of 4 took both of the rooms. The rooms were clean, and the outside garden was lovely to sit in in the morning. Kamal made us a beautiful breakfast that we ate outside in the garden every morning. It was fun eating breakfast while watching the fantastic birds and peacocks in the garden! The wifi was a bit spotty, but that seems to be a common problem in Sri Lanka and not specifically with this property. We rented scooters through Kamal, and that was awesome because it allowed us to explore the village and towns around independently. One of the main pluses of Machcha Lodge is that it is next door to Roy's Villa - a fun backpackers place that organizes lots of fun group activities, cooking classes, safaris, hikes - and we were able to join on their activities, use the pool and have some of our meals there.

Nice house in a quiet location with a nice view to Sigiriya rock. The hosts were really helpful every time and the breakfast was great.

A perfect place for us…small local homestay near rice paddies and view of Lion's Rock. The owner is so positive and cheerful. He helped us learn about wildlife in his garden, recommended local restaurants and organized most of our tours. The breakfast was so wonderful - we stayed 4 nights and every morning we had different Sri Lankan choices. There were sunny-side-up eggs every morning. A thermos full of hot water to make your own coffee or tea plus a lovely local juice. You can easily walk to see local rice fields and a view of the Lion's Rock. There are many restaurant options on the local road leading to the homestay. There are hammocks to relax in while you enjoy the beautiful garden with local wildlife. A quiet and peaceful retreat! 4 rooms available…snatch yours up!
