Location was terrific and staff were wonderful. Fun outdoor bar by the pool. The room was fine but the outdoor area by the pool, including the chairs and ground, was poorly tended. Lots of leaves, etc. in the pool and chairs not wiped down.

I booked this hotel by mistake. I thought I was booking a hotel in Wisconsin with a similar name, Sundara spa. I paid the travel protection fee and when I realized I booked a hotel out of the country minutes after I made the reservation, Expedia would not cancel this or immediately credit my account. It’s been three days and still no credit. I had to file a claim minutes after the mistaken booking. Then I booked a hotel in WI using Expedia again and when my daughter went to check in, they told her they had to charge her even though the room was paid in full bc I wasn’t physically there, she is 27, and I spoke with the hotel confirming that yes, I purchased the room and could easily show my cc and photo idea. They refused this and charged my daughter. I’m extremely unhappy with Expedia.

I had booked the hotel for three nights from 7th to 10th Feb 2020. The hotel is well located on the main road with easy accessibility to public transport. The room was however without any phone/intercom, the shower head was broken and there were no chairs to sit on. the lady at the reception was, however very helpful and courteous and resolved most issues albeit after a while. The swimming pool is rather small and shallow, 5ft being the deepest. No place for an exercise swim. The breakfast was well prepared and offered good choice of continental and Sri Lankan cuisine. Overall a satisfactory stay, thanks mainly to the lady at the reception.

The welcome at Sundaras Resort & Spa was friendly and warm. Our rooms however clearly had not been cleaned in a while. We came with reasonably high expectations of this four-star resort, but wound up feeling a bit disappointed with the state of the resort. It made a somewhat derelict impression as if the accommodation had not been tended to in a while. From the outside it actually looks quite nice and staff did their best to accommodate us, but when you look below the surface, there is quite a bit of maintenance to be done.

Sundaras is a little gem in the heart of Dambulla, great location for sightseeing and the hotel gives you a ‘real’ experience of Sri Lanka. Staff were amazing and at hand 24 hrs. Big thanks to Sean, Liz, Sindhu, Asita, Tito, Saman (our driver) and the cleaning staff. They really ensured we got the best experience out of our trip. We planned our excursions through the hotel, really well organised, although a little pricey hiring driver with entrance fees. Good range of food although not as spicy as we would’ve liked. Overall had a great time here.

This hotel is very close to the dambulla cave, thus making it good option to stay here. There not many restaurants around hence you will end up with less options. The food is overly priced , less in quantity in comparison to other places in Srilanka.. They had place 2 water bottles inside fridge in our room we used it, there was no price tag mentioned anywhere in room. Guess the price this hotel must have charged.... A bottle that costs 50 rs was charged for 250rs.. very bad experience.

It was the worst experience in Sri Lanka. The room was not cleaned at all, especially the bathroom! They only make up the bed. The price is too high compared to its service.

Staff was very friendly and the pool bar area was really nice. Really close to the golden temple. Just there isn't in dambulla. Food is good but expensive for sri Lanka. Ideal for a night or two.

The hotel is very overpriced , it is tired and needs money spent. The cost should be nearer 40GBP per night and not 100GBP per night . Although the stay are very friendly.

The hotel itself not something worth coming back to as the condition is just above average, provides all facilities of a intetnational 3 star hotel and a bit more. But the highlight is the sri lankan hospitality of the staff which make sure to provide with everything u need out of their way. It truly makes the guest more comfortable and at ease. Based on that alone and a very nice central location I would recomend this to all those looking for a low to mid budget stay.

Horrible!! I'm surprised that there are so many positive reviews. Our shower and air condotitioner barley worked, fridge switches off when you leave the room, balcony was flooded, so we couldn't even use it. The room was filthy and there were bugs and insects all over. The pool was dirty and only half the jets worked in the spa also there is no heat in the spa. The food is terrible and staff are unfriendly. On top of all of this it's a complete rip off - the photos don't match the property.
All of this was brought up with the manager when we checked out. He didn't care and tried to charge us for additional drinks and a massage! Do yourself a favor and dont stay here ever!

Wonderfully kind and conversational staff, but also a place you can really enjoy your own quiet time. It's a peaceful place and the guides that lead their trips are excellent.

Sundaras Resort and Spa was very enjoyable. The highlight for us was the hotel restaurant, it was great, with buffets that offered a varied and tantalising delicious array of foods to try - with being a coeliac and unable to eat gluten, the chef was great and personally showed me what I could and could not eat from the buffet. Their attention to us was warm, friendly and professional. The staff at reception were also very eager to help us in whatever way they could too - again very genuine and welcoming. We did experience some heavy rain periods and on the way down to the restaurant area from our unit at the back , proved quite hazardous with mud and water that could not seem to get away very quickly - this area could use some minor work to ensure the path stays clear and umbrellas in the rooms might be a good idea too perhaps, especially if like us , you are staying up at the back of the property. The hotel pool was lovely with bar and music, and well maintained.

Convenient for all sightseeing around Dambulla; tours available from front desk. Staff very friendly and helpful in planning trips.
Room was spacious and clean; food was good. Plenty of fresh fruit for breakfast amongst other things and great Sri Lankan buffet dinner available.
On days you want to relax, the pool and pool bar is relaxing.
