Can get lonely.

The Host is such a lovely person. We did the free cooking class with them, they show you some traditional Sri Lankan dishes, it was just amazing. After that you get so much food and it’s so delicious.
The rooms are clean & the bed is comfy. I definitely would come again. You feel welcomed from the first second. We had such a good time here!
7.0
Beautiful guesthouse in the country, very quiet and relaxed, nice and clean rooms and very good and copious breakfast. We liked the cooking class very much!
It's a bit isolated from the city but with a tuk tuk it's a short way, and therefore it's very beautiful. Only it's better to take a tuk-tuk from the main street than the one from the host because that's more expensive and the driver was very pushy to choose the restaurant and the drives he wants us to take. Also it's possible to do the trips around to Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa by bus instead of accepting the proposed tuk-tuk-trip from the host which is quite expensive. It's definitely possible to do it by bus, host shouldn't say the untruth to make a business. That's what travellers like us don't like at all.
8.0
Cooking class and food was excellent.
Very quiet .
Not possible to get to shops or restaurant independently, need to call tuk-tuk

Tuk tuk picked us up from Dambulla town and dropped us back in to catch the bus free of charge as advertised. Tissa was, I think, the bosses brother, who was our host. He did the best he could including making us a nice breakfast and making sure we had plenty of water.
I feel like I wasted time staying here.
Wi-Fi had not been paid and then when it was connected had to keep signing in to it.
The ' boss ' was very interested in getting us to do tours. Be aware.
Supposed to get free cooking classes included but we did not. On the second night when they had told us we would cook dinner at 530pm and we waited and waited, then I called the owner at around who 7pm said there were no shops open to buy fruit and veggies, but I saw many vegetables stalls open plus the massive vegetable market was in full swing. He said no madam you can go and get rice and curry take away. Bear in mind this place is in the middle of nowhere and we were unable to find a number for a tuk tuk to pick us up. It took the best part of an hour to try and contact pizza hut to see if they would deliver and if they could even find the place!
I couldn't get out of here quick enough!!
