Our family spent 5 nights here, we had a wanderful stay! Accomodation is in beautiful location, right next to the rice fields with view at the Lions rock. The sound of the nature in the evening was incredible. Manager Sujee make us feel very welcomed, preparred for us tasty meals for a very good price. Also they pack for us breakfast when we left early for the Lions Rock. They have a super nice jeep driver that took us aroud the Sigiriya, show us iteresting places and arrange very tasty village lunch. The room had comfortable beds, hot shower. The pool is just perfect. Thank you for making our holiday unforgetable!!

We spent in hotel only 1 night but if we would stay in Sigiriya longer we would definetly stay here. The second we came, personal were so nice and helpful. Location of hotel is amazing, walk distance to Lion rock and 20 min with tuk tuk to Dambulla caves. The room was spacious, clean, with amazing view. Breakfast in morning was amazing, homemade mix of western and traditional sri lankan dishes with fresh cut fruit. 10/10

Everything was great. The host is friendly and very helpful! The place is clean and the location is excellent, middle of the jungle, 5 minutes walk from lions rock. We arrived in the middle of the night and the property owner was so helpful and nice and waited for us. They made us Sri Lanka breakfast and coffee in the morning :) The rooms are simple and clean, the AC works, the pool is clean. You can hear many birds in the morning and it’s a full jungle experience. We had a late flight and the check out was late which was also no problem!

We are delighted with the hotel and highly recommend it. After a long flight, we were welcomed with a wet towel and a refreshing drink. The breakfast is divinely delicious. The food at the restaurant is very tasty and creatively presented. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and overlook a beautifully maintained garden. The staff is caring and very kind. Every day, the owner assisted us in having the best experiences in the area and recommended places to visit. He suggested locations for Ayurvedic massages and shopping. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic stay. So calm and beautiful. All staff is very helpful and friendly. Rooms are clean and bathrooms are it’s own experience. Great experience of being in a wild and feeling more then comfortable- great food, hot water. Location is great as well - hidden in the forest and short walking distance to main sights. The only mistake we’ve made is staying there for one night only

The surroundings are genuinely unique. It was the first time I was in a hotel and I opened the door of my room and I was able to see monkeys, peacocks and squirrels. This along with the warmth of the staff (including receptionists, yoga masters, doctor and massage therapists) makes it a experience I will always remember

I’ll never forget the day we spent climbing Sigiriya.

I’ll never forget the day we spent climbing Sigiriya. And no wonder such a wonderful World Heritage Site kept popping up everywhere: Test it against the massive old fortress, the gorgeous frescoes, and images taken of landscapes from the summit, and there you’ll pick one of Sri Lanka’s greatest treasures. Not an easy or casual climb but certainly one that throws panoramic views so very far worth it and lucid into history at every step. Water gardens at the bottom quite worth a visit. One has to get there at dawn to avoid numerous tourists and scorching sun. Thus, in general, Sigiriya is a combination of artistic creation, engineering work of antiquity, and a miracle of nature, and a must-see site in Sri Lanka.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay at Hotel Golden Ray!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay at Hotel Golden Ray! My experience at Hotel Golden Ray was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing a perfect space to relax after exploring Dambulla. The hotel’s atmosphere is peaceful and charming, with a great balance between modern comfort and natural surroundings. The food was delicious and freshly prepared, and I truly appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of the service. I highly recommend Hotel Golden Ray to anyone visiting Dambulla — it’s a perfect place for both leisure and business stays. I’ll definitely return on my next visit! 🌿✨

A beautiful place on earth that there are lots of 360 degree view points. But if it rains it will ruin your plans. So make sure you depend on weatherly and visit Matale when it shows many continuous sunny days. Even on cloudy forecasts do not visit as all mointain tops then will be covered and you will not see the sights. when it is humid leaches also will be active and will become a painful experience.

There is so much more to do in this area than I realised.

There is so much more to do in this area than I realised. I will definitely come back. The area is beautiful and we were sad to leave. We dud Pidurangala Rock which was fun, more of an adventurous climb than Lions Rock. It has incredible views of Lions Rock. We also did a safari in Minneriya National Park. The park was beautiful and we saw so many elephants plus lots of varieties of birds, golden jackals, monkees, mongoose, the grizzled giant squirrel, buffalo and jungle foul. We also went to Dambula Temple Caves which is very spiritual and Luckgrove Spice Gardens which was an incredible experience. Highly recommend this area.

We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.

Mainly there are 10-12 attractions in Matale. As I just stayed one day which was not sufficient to visit all the places. Among them where I went were also hampered due to the rain at time to time. Generally Matele was quit good tourist destination if it is planned well with couple of days.

A nice hike to view a breathe taking view. If anyone should travel to Sigiriya they should start to climb the rock at 5.30am as the ticket counters open. Wearing proper hiking or workout clothes would be the best.

Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. We stayed there for 4 Nights and could cover the heritage sites easily. Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.
