Yashumi Homestay

Very nice home share on the quiet side of town. Close to the Cave Temple and a nice local restaurant next door. Super clean and quiet stay with secure parking for a bicycle, or scooter. Very warm welcome too.

Molt bona localització, a només 20 minuts caminant del Temple de la Cova Daurada de Dambulla. El llit és molt còmode i la família és súper agradable i atenta.

Good breakfast. Quiet neighbour hood. Clean comfortable bed with clean mosquito net

The room was absolutely spotless, bed super comfy, the bathroom was very clean with an incredible shower (pressure + temperature). We had a fan room which was perfect for us. Our hosts were so kind and attentive, always with such a smile on their faces. They live in a beautiful area which is away from the main road and is quiet - constant sounds of birds and chipmunks. It was a perfect stay for a few news I couldn’t recommend enough.

Nothing! Just wish they included more coconut pancakes at breakfast as they were delicious !!

The host is very kind. He helped me with my lost phone. Other than that, the room and breakfast is just amazing 😊

Die Gastgeber waren so freundlich und bemühten sich, uns den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. Wir bekamen zum Frühstück landestypische Gerichte und abends konnten wir (gegen einen geringen Aufpreis) ein typisches Sri Lanka Dinner geniessen. Auch unsere Ausflüge mit einem Tuktuk wurden organisiert. Am letzten Tag fuhr uns unser Host sogar mit seinem Auto zum Busbahnhof.

Leider war die Solaranlage kaputt, so dass das Wasser kalt war.

Eine super liebe Familie. Wie wurden mit leckerem Essen bekocht, das Frühstück war landestypisch und lecker. Uns wurde geholfen, Ausflüge zu organisieren. Ein Nachbar mit tuk tuk hat uns zu den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten gefahren Sehr bequeme Betten. Der Besitzer hat alles getan ,um den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Er hat uns sogar zum local bus gefahren bei Abreise. Es war ein toller Aufenthalt.

El trato con el propietario, siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Me quedé dormida y me tocó a la puerta para que pudiera llegar a tiempo al templo y tenía mi desayuno preparado. También me ayudó a contratar un tuk tuk de confianza a un buen precio.

Todo fue correcto

Nos hôtes étaient très chaleureux et accueillant, la chambre est confortable et très propre, le petit déjeuner local est vraiment très bon !

The room was spotless and very large, opening onto a huge terasse. Very comfortable, and actually a mosquito net that was large enough and no holes! Also super comfy pillows. The host was so lovely, kind and helpful, really made me feel welcome. The breakfast was outstanding!

It was a bit far, more than 2 km, from town and the bus stand, but very close to the entrace for the cave temple, and you can get buses on the main road, less than à 5 minute walk.

離Cave temple很近，擁有一個大露台。 房東很好，在我進中午時分從獅子岩返回的時候還為我準備早餐，讓我late check out。 房間乾淨整潔

沒有熱水還是不太習慣

Pokój duży czysty i bardzo zadbany oraz łazienka bez zarzutu.

Jeśli ktoś będzie chciał iść na piechotę do kwaterunku nie polecam bo jest kawałek lepiej wynająć tuk-tuk. Pokój mógłby być (lub okna) lepiej dźwiękoszczelny bo trochę słychać przejeżdżające pojazdy ulicą ale to zależy jak ktoś ma wrażliwy słuch.

Snídaně byly velmi dobré. Celá rodina byla hodná a ráda poradila. (Neumí moc anglicky, ale lze se dorozumět). Na přivítanou jsme dostali nějaký drink (avokádo s mlékem nebo něco takového). Nad postelí je síť proti komárům. Ubytovaní je blízko náboženskýho tample, staví tam autobus a za 40 Rs je cesta do centra. Jednou večer vypadla elektřina a rodina nám hnedka nesla svíčky

I když jsme věděli že klimatizace není součástí, urcitě by zpříjemnila pobyt

Propietario gentilissimo. Il nonno ti porta in giro con il tuk tuk a prezzi onesti.

Da migliorare la pulizia e la colazione

Famille très sympathique et très disponible pour nous aider

Гостевой дом маленький, но приятный. Везде чисто. Хозяева гостеприимные. Завтрак вкусный. Главное, что дом находится в пешей доступности от пещерного храма. Рекомендую

Понравилось все.

Удобное расположение. Завтрак небольшой, но достаточно сытный, вечером можно посидеть на общем балкончике.

На этаже было бы неплохо поставить общий холодильник и кулер с водой, периодически не работал бачок в туалете

Very kind owner. Vegan friendly and super delicious breakfast.

A comfy place run by a nice family. They prepare sri lankan breakfast every morning for the time you wish to eat.

A lots of mosquitoes and bugs in the area.

Breakfast was very filling. Close to temple.

Yashumi was very nice, the room was perfectly clean. It has a big private bathroom, air conditioning and the allow to park the tuktuk inside the garden, which is very helpful. It also has a very nice terrace.The breakfast was amazing, home made traditional Sri Lanka pancakes filled with coconut and a relish on a side. Very tasty. Location is great, 5 minutes walk from the access to the temple. If you do not fancy walking the stairs take a tuktuk for 300 rupees.

A great stay at Yashumi. Very clean room and bathroom. Owners of property very kind and accommodating. Comfortable pillows and bed, the best I've come across in my 3 weeks travelling in sri lanka. Great breakfast included. Nice verandah to utilise during our stay. Can definitely recommend this place. Thankyou for such a great stay!

Thoughtful and lovely hosts, charming place, neat spacious bedroom, nice breakfast, green surrounding

Excellent home stay experience. The host Ranga is super nice and helpful. The room is spotless clean and with a big balcony. It located very near the Golden Temple and Dambulla Cave Temple, definitely walkable distance, in a quiet area. Far away from city’s chaos. With this reasonable price, it’s unbeatable! Highly recommended!

Nothing

Amazing host that is passionate about his guest. Assisted with getting Tuk Tuk for a private Tour. Really friendly and approachable.

The room was amazing, so was the host and everything with it.

If you can't handle noise in the night, don't go. It is a very beautiful, clean place, very comfy, but as the upper windows are open and you can not close it, you hear all from outside. When we were there, straying dogs were barking all night long very loud, we could not sleep. Sorry to say that, cause the homestay itself is lovely.

I am very grateful to the family that owns this place. They helped me find a reliable tuk tuk for tourist activities at a good price. They were always willing to help. In fact, the owner even took me to the bus terminal. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom was brand new. You have tea available in your room! SUPER clean room!!! The breakfast was unbeatable! Thank you!!!!

Clean homestay, clean bedroom with soft bed, nice pillows, mosquito net, balcony sit out with two long chairs & good views. Tea maker,fan, working table, chair. Bathroom with shower. Free morning breakfast. Just 4 minutes walk from the road. You can ask bus to stop close to the homestay. 10 minutes walk to Dambulla caves.Nice owner. Too much budget friendly.

Nothing.

EXCEPTIONAL service Seriously after 1 month in budget rooms, this felt like being at the Hilton! Service was impeccable, room: the cleanest we had in a month, bathroom spotless. And even tea and kettle in the room. We had a balcony, it was quiet and really I could go on forever. It was perfect. And breakfast was de-li-cious

Only downside: it's not easy to find. Make sure to Google the building and have the photo as there is no sign. Beside that: PERFECT STAY

Experience life in a traditional Sri Lankan home. The warm smiles of the hosts and their kindness in helping you with anything you need. The “grandfather” who takes you around in a tuk-tuk (at a great price). The excellent location of the accommodation.

The rooms are not soundproofed, so it might be an issue for light sleepers. However, it’s perfect for experiencing the local atmosphere.

We were welcomed by the host in such a warm and welcoming way, together with a delicious welcome drink. The room was equipped with a fan and a mosquito net - or two favourite appliances! As of that wasn’t enough, the host’s wife made us a fish curry that set a new standard of deliciousness! Everything was perfect! We loved our stay and would definitely return!

It was amazing to stay in Yashumi House. I felt so welcomed by this lovely family. Totally recommend you to stay there!

The family was lovely and the house is well located if you want to visit the temples. It's a good 20-25min walk to the entrance of the cave temple so i'd still recommend a tuktuk if it's hot. The room was sparkling clean but very hot. The fan worked well, and it's fair to say that i didn't book a room with AC. Breakfast quantities were generous (noodles) but not much variety and no fruit. The host was super kind and gave me a lift to town on my checkout day as he was going to work.

Very hot. Not much variety for breakfast. Not much choice to eat out around (many places were closed and the only open one had a buffet for 1.800Rs which is expensive for what it is.)

Very friendly owners. If SriLankan level of spiciness is too high for you, here cooking is much milder.

The value for money is exceptional, with clean and serene rooms. The owner provided outstanding customer service, ensuring every need was met promptly and with a smile. The breakfast was delightful and added to the overall wonderful experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a budget-friendly option in Dambulla.

One thing to note is that the environment is too warm, so I recommend choosing rooms with air conditioning to ensure a comfortable stay.

This was undoubtedly the best experience I have had with any accommodation not only in Sri Lanka but after many years visiting around 30 countries this stay is one that really shines! The facilities were absolutely fantastic, the bed was very comfortable and the room was extremely clean and well looked after. All the bedding and pillow cases looked brand new, the bathroom was lovely, hot water was available and there was a kettle with complimentary green and black tea which was a lovely touch! Most importantly and what really made the stay so fantastic was the hospitality from Range, the owner. He really is second to none, he made me feel incredibly welcome and well looked after from the moment I arrived, he was absolutely brilliant and helped me out with bookings for Sigirya, helped me to get a bus to Kandy and even woke up early to make me a very early breakfast at 6.00am on the day I went to Sigirya! Thank you so much sir! The breakfast itself was absolutely fantastic and it is hard to believe that such a lovely meal could be included in the already very reasonable price! The location of the guesthouse is also very good as although it is slightly outside of the main town area you are right next to the Dambulla Cave Temple so if you are mainly here to see the cave temple and Lion rock then it couldn't really be a more perfect location, especially as it is nice and quiet at night! I had such a relaxing stay overall and it really was undoubtedly one of the nicest places I've ever stayed especially when you consider the very reasonable price which even includes a fantastic breakfast! Thank you so much! If I am ever in Dambulla again I won't hesitate to visit! 🙏🏻

Could not fault the place if I tried.

Awesome hosts, breakfast, bedroom and facilities. Hosts always there to help and check infos regarding tourists places. Keep going this way, it's perfect

Nothing, was all perfect

Very nice warm welcome,Excellent facilities and clean room,great service and care.safty and nearest location.lovely place for stay.

Really nice and hospitality family,give me lots of help,good location really close to the temple And there traditional srilanka breakfast really great ,if you have time really worth to stay a few days

The environment is very clean, the room is well-ventilated, and there are no insects. The surroundings are quiet, and the hosts will not disturb you casually. Their attitude is very good. The hosts live on the first floor, so you can tell them if you have any problems. It's a 30-minute walk to Dambulla city center or a 10-15 minute ride by tuk-tuk. The price for a ride to the city center is around 300-400 LKR. The breakfast is very rich, and they will give you tea and two small bottles of mineral water. The room also has two small bottles of mineral water and tea bags.

1. The cost of buying a small bottle of water is too expensive, at 100 LKR per bottle. You can buy a 1500cc bottle of water outside for 140 LKR. 2. If you have any issues, the response time is slow, and you need to go downstairs and inform the owner.
