Nuwan was very Nice, he was very helpful to book the activities during our trip in Dambulla! He also brang us to his secret spot to see the sunset, unfortunately we didn't saw the sun cause of the weather, but we saw a lots of monkey there! Also he brang us in another spot to see a lot of flying bats. He was very kindly, he served us the breakfast for free and the dinner was not really expensive. Thank you so much Nuwan, I wish you the best, and stay in your hotel was really worth it.

We had a great time at miracle home stay. The location is great to explore the rock temples (reachable by foot). The room was very clean, new, and had everything we needed. Breakfast was very good. The best part has been getting to know the host and his family, they all have been kind and supportive and we had great chats. Definitely the best host we met in Sri Lanka! He drove us to the restaurant at night, took us to the bus station when we were leaving. We definitely recommend to have dinner at home, we had one of the best rice and curry of our trip!

The location, the host, Pradeep and his team were amazing. Pradeep is such a kind, gentle person who puts his heart and soul into ensuring his guests are happy. The food cooked by his mother was delicious -the communal meals were so tasty. Pradeep organised trips to Sigiriya and a game safari where we saw lots of elephants. Nothing was ever too much for Pradeep. On the 5 acre plot where the accommodation is located Pradeep farms using permaculture producing 100% organic rice, mangoes, cinnamon, vanilla, tomatoes, chilli, bananas, jackfruit, bread fruit and so much more. One of the highlights of our stay was a guided tour around the farm when Pradeep explained about the farming process and identifying all the plants. The beds were amazingly comfortable which made for a fantastic home stay. I would highly recommend Blue Mountains View.

    Ruan was the most amazing host for this beautiful homestay. We exchanged a lot of stories and had such a great time with him and his family. They cooked amazing food for us, homegrown from their own farm and Ruan sat with us through each meal and we had great conversations with him. Loved out time there and would go back to Sri Lanka only to meet our friend again😊

    Clean bed and spacious room. The food was amazing and the host and his family were friendly and generous. The area was quiet but it was easy enough to get into Dambula town; the home stay was also very close to the cave temple and rock, an easy 15 minute walk.

    Host family are very friendly and kind. They prepared a huge breakfast for us every morning with tea and coffee. They also drove us to dinner when it was raining in their tuk tuk. There are mosquito nets over the bed. The hot water system doesn’t get super hot (which was the same in all our home stays) but it was warm. The home stay is walking distance from restaurants.

    My stay at Pradeep’s homestay was absolutely wonderful. The place is beautifully located offside the busy streets in a rural area. Homemade food, a stroll through the own garden, having a nap in the hammock and a swim in the nearby river - is everything you wish for. I could have stayed for 2 weeks easily. If you are looking for a calm place to ease off, a lovely family home stay and like to experience real life in sri lanka, this is the place to go! it‘s really 12/10.
