Hi,
I was staying 2 nights at the Hotel on my way to kandy as solo traveller. The Hotel is a small family business and very accomodating. Everyone was really really warm and nice, doing their best to make me feel like I am at home :)
It's located close to dambulla and you can reach anything in a couple of minutes.
The beds are big and comfy and the rooms in general are superclean and very beautiful. There are 2 large size beds in each room so no problem if you bring your kids with you.
The property has a decent garden area with a terrace protected by the shades of the palms where you can relax and hang out as well or just for your kids to play around.
Breakfast was very good too and you can also tell them at which time you prefer to take it.
The owner is a very sweet person and gave me good advice how to spend my day around the sightseeing places and offered transfer services with his own tuk if I needed something from the city and also organized me a driver for my safari/sightseeing tour.
If you need help with anything, he will get it done for you quickly.
On my last day he brought me to my bus stop and waited till I was inside the bus which was supersweet of him, so to me he was more than a Host but a big brother/family member
All in all I was very happy with my stay 😊

Sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber! Nuwan zeigte uns "seine" Orte rund um Dambulla und nahm uns z.B. mit zum birdwatching. Das Abendessen war ebenfalls sehr lecker und man bekam so viel Nachschlag wie man wollte. Die Lage ist perfekt für Ausflüge ins kulturelle Dreieck.
5.0 / 10.0
Die Unterkunft war groß und sauber. Nuwan und seine Familie sind sehr freundlich und bemüht. Das essen ist sehr lecker.
Die Aktivitäten, die Nuwan anbietet sind extrem überteuert. Die Safari hat 25000 Rs gekostet, normalerweise kann man diese bereits für 8000 Rs machen, was ich im Nachgang erfahren habe. Auch die Ayuveda Massage, war absolut überteuert (ab 11000 Rs).
Nuwan scheint sehr bemüht und hilfsbereit und fährt einen scheinbar kostenlos an seine „Secret Spots“ und betont immer wieder dass er das gerne macht und ohne Geld dafür zu verlangen. Er erwartet aber bei der Abreise auch ein großes Trinkgeld.

Et il vous fait découvrir ses petits lieux secrets avec plaisir

Kleines Gästehaus mitten im kleinen Dschungel. Hier ist man der Natur wirklich sehr nah, was nicht bedeutet das es hier viele Tiere gibt. Ich wurde herzlich empfangen, die Familie ist wirklich toll. Der Gasthausbesitzer besitzt ein eigenes TuckTuck mit dem er einen überall hin fahren kann. Sonnenuntergang, Tempel usw.
für mich wurde eine Tagestour inkl. Safari geplant. Also das rund um sorglos Paket. Ich habe hier auch jeden Tag gefrühstückt und zu Abend gegessen, besser geht’s kaum! Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt!

Der Gastgeber war ganz nett.
Die Unterkunft weist Feuchtigkeit und einen starken muffigen Geruch auf. Die Warmwasserversorgung ist ungewöhnlich kompliziert, da man drei Duschköpfe nutzen muss, um die Temperatur zu regulieren. Die empfohlene Ayurveda-Massage des Gastgebers enttäuscht und ist im Vergleich zu anderen Städten in Sri Lanka übertrieben teuer. Die Sauberkeit lässt zu wünschen übrig. Obwohl der Gastgeber eine positive Bewertung wünscht, ist er für Verbesserungsvorschläge offen. Es gibt keine Klimaanlage, nur einen Ventilator, was bei der Hitze problematisch ist. Die Umgebung ist vernachlässigt.

La amabilidad del dueño, siempre preocupado por que estuviéramos bien y hacer nuestra estancia más agradable. Nos recomendó muchas cosas para ver, nos ayudó a contratar una excursión e incluso nos llevó en su tuktuk a un lago para ver unos murciélagos gigantes. Está dispuesto a ayudar en todo momento, nos dejó paraguas y telas para cubrirnos al entrar a los templos.
Además, la habitación es cómoda y grande.
En principio nos íbamos a quedar solo una noche y, al final, nos quedamos 3.

Rooms were really beautiful and clean. The host was very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect, only few steps away from bus station and in the middle between Sigirya and Dambulla, which is perfect to easily reach both of them by bus. Around property is also a lot of greenery so it has been really nice to stay there 😊

Amazing experience. We have stayed justo for two nights, but we would definitely stayed there for longer if we had the chance. The guest and his family were ncredibly polite and was available for us anytime. Big, cozy rooms. Amazing garden right in front of the bedroom that looked like an actual jungle. Delicious breakfast and coconuts taken right from the garden's tree! The guest has also guided us not only through the main spots (Temple Caves, Pidurangala...) but also through less known places thatafe us fall in love with the village. You will not be disappointed!

Everything was perfect! Nuwan and his family were so accommodating. He took us to a festival and shopping when we needed some home comforts. He also organised all our tours and activities when he was unable to take us. On one night, his mother in law cooked us the most delicious meal - highly recommend! The room was large and spacious and we were so well looked after. Very underpriced for the service you receive - DEFINITELY STAY HERE!

Very nice homestay! Especially ideal for families or groups as each room has 2 double beds. Fruit(juice)s straight from the garden, clean and neat rooms and the owner will do absolutely anything to help you discover the area.
Be aware that there's no WiFi available.

The breakfast, though simple, was simply appetizing. The accommodation is in pristine condition and the attention to detail is perfect. The accommodation is built with the guests in mind. The host family is most welcoming and ever-ready to make the guest's stay comfortable. The two children are a pleasure to converse with and they are a fountain of knowledge. The owner, Ruwan, is most helpful and prepared to take one to town or to local places of interest.
Even if one wants to visit Sigiriya or any other destination in the Dambulla re3, The Green Jungle is the ideal place to stay.
The Cave Temple which is near The Green Jungle, is an experience in itself, either to view6a sunrise or a sunset.
The property is maintained immaculately and one can rest comfortably on the veranda or in the garden.
The local buses (cheap and easy to use) stop close to the property.
All in all, the family of husband and wife and two children, together with the maternal grandparents are ever-smiling and obliging. The grandmother will be prepared to cook you some lunch or dinner as required.

Beautiful room with all the comfort you need! Very spacious. Very helpful owner. Located next to the road but still you have the feeling you are in the middle of the jungle. And you don't hear the traffic to much.

This is an amazing place to stay in Dambulla, anything you need to see around the area is in 20 km radius, Green jungle serves great base to discover the must-sees.
Let’s start with how beautiful, well equipped (big, comfy bed, cotton sheet, hair dryer, kettle, hot water, mosquito net) and clean the accomodation is. Though it is by the main road, still located in a lush, quiet garden and our host offered to eat any fruits we can find. Also our host, Nuwan, did his absolute best to make our stay the most comfortable. Very delicious food (huge portion) is available so you can have lunch / dinner at the porch, surrounded by nature. Huge plus that bus stop is 2 mins from the place direct reach to/from Plonnaruwa or Trinkomalee. If you arrive to the bus station, the owner offers ride to the place, which is quite convenient. If you are on the road either for a short time or you are a long time traveller, you will appreciate the this place; 10/10, highly recommend!

A great place, clean & spacious with fantastic garden. The host Nuwan is very kind and friendly and made sure that our stay there was unforgetable. Well worth the money & would go back again. The location was ideal to visit Dambulla, Sigiriya & Anuradhapura in the couple of days that we stayed there.

Nuwan and his family were the greatest hosts any traveler could ask for. To anyone visiting the area or the country, I would highly recommend starting the trip in Sri Lanka by staying at The Green Jungle and then planning the following days around the area by getting Nuwan's wonderful advice and help! We had the most pleasant stay at this new, clean and heart-warming accommodation, and wish Nuwan's family the absolute best in the future!

Perfect homestay in a beautiful garden in Dambulla with all attractions nearby. Nuwan is a super attentive and helpful host and his mother in law cooks the best curries and breakfast with fresh fruits from their yard. The beds are comfy, the rooms are clean, if a little hot at times. Overall, great price value, well recommended stay for friends or families in Dambulla.

Everything was just perfect. The accomodation is little outside Dambulla, what is actually pretty nice. However it will not be a problem at all to get there also if you come by bus. The owner will explain to the bus driver where to drop you or he will pick you up at the bus station. The accomodation itself is very spacious and clean. Also the beds are very comfortable. The owner is very kind and will help you with EVERYTHING. The breakfast and also dinner, which you can order, is delicious.

Our stay was definitely above our expectations. Right from the time we arrived in Dambulla we were taken care of. The host picked us up from the bus station, took us to the accommodation, showed us the room and helped us plan activities for following days. We were offered a day trip around all major sights we were interested in that we could adjust according to our needs. The experience was well-tailored full package. Apart from that he took us for excursions around the neighborhood. We were watching dancing peacocks in the morning on our private tuk-tuk safari and sunset from a temple hill nearby. We could choose either continental or traditional Sri Lankan breakfast. Both were delicious. We highly recommend eating in-house. The host family cooks tasty meals that feel like home.
The guesthouse is in perfect location for planning trips to towns and tourist attractions in close vicinity.
That has been the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka and Nuwan is truly an exceptional host!

The accommodation is amazing! We loved everything about this guest house. The owner and his family are super friendly. He showed us so many places that we would have never seen ourselves like an amazing secret sunset spot with a temple to overview the region, beautiful lakes and the peacock area. He offers also a scooter and bicycles and helped us to organize our trip a lot! The guest house has an amazing garden with a hammock, perfect to relax after day trips. We definitely recommend this place 100%.
