Lake Island Home Stay

Extremely friendly and attentive hosts. We recommend having dinner with them, as it is plentiful and delicious, that goes for breakfast, too. Pleasant garden and clean rooms.

Very friendly host. Good home made food. Very nice and clean place.We had a great stay here.

О, это одно из самых прекрасных мест, где я останавливалась! Добродушные хозяева, очень красивая семья встретят, накормят и помогут решить любые вопросы. В комнате чисто, качественное постельное белье, есть все необходимые. Тихое место рядом с рекой и озером, где можно погулять и искупаться. Хозяйка хорошо готовит, также здесь есть фреш бар и невероятно вкусный авокадо сок)

The host was very friendly. The lady directed us to some places to visit. There is a tank which can have a bath. It's around 15 minutes walk from home.

Terasa, tiché a príjemné prostredie, rodinná atmosféra, ochota pripraviť raňajky aj v skoršiu hodinu, chutné a výdatné raňajky.

Chýbal fén, aj keď na Bookingu bol písaný. Slabšie pripojenie na wifi. V noci sme sa budili na silný dupot zvierat na streche.

The property is beautiful, set into an amazing garden. The host was lovely, careful and very keen on helping me with any need. I would definitely recommend this gorgeous place!

Everything was very nice

The place is really pleasant to be!!!

The hotel owner gave a better welcome from the welcome of themselves,This stick is located in a natural natural environment,We were given breakfast at home and ripe fruits in the garden.This is a great place to stay

We loved our stay here. The room is big and spacious. The best thing is the terrace just outside the room, where you can enjoy your meals next to the garden while observing all the birds and other animals living there. Rasika and her family are lovely and very attentive.

I had a wonderful stay at Lake Island Homestay in Dambulla. I arrived at night and had the best sleep in a calm and peaceful environment . The hospitality was exceptional—the hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming One of the highlights of my stay was the delicious Sri Lankan breakfast, which was freshly prepared . In the morning, I took a walk by the beautiful lake nearby, which was a truly refreshing experience. There’s also a charming temple at the corner of the lake adding to the serene atmosphere. The facilities were great for the price , and everything was well-maintained. Overall, my experience was perfect, and I highly recommend this homestay to anyone visiting Dambulla. I would definitely stay here again!♥️♥️

Nothing everything was so good.

+ Very friendly family + nice local breakfast + comfy bed

- when we tried to turn on the shower heater, the shower light tripped! Both in my room and my parents room next to mine. I had to call and message the home owner for assistance because my mother was showering in cold water in the dark (so did I)! Good thing is, they did respond pretty fast and came to try and help us asap. Which we really appreciated! - I understand it is a home stay, but, it would be really helpful to try to find ways to keep out creatures in the toilets. There were frogs and snails in the toilets. - The WiFi was not good, sadly. - The floor was not very clean.

Everything is wonderful

A quiet and green nature place in the middle of garden with lots of Squirrel and kinds of birds. Staff were awesome and I enjoyed.

This was the best stay we had in Sri Lanka! Rasika and her family were so lovely and always there to help if we needed anything. The breakfast was different every morning but always delicious, and the same goes for dinner! The room and shower was clean, spacious and comfortable with a good bug net and air con. The seating area was so peaceful overlooking their beautiful garden and a perfect place to relax and enjoy the food.

Nothing not to like! It was perfect.

One of the best homestay experiences we had during our Sri Lanka trip. We totally recommend Lake Island Home Stay to put on your bucket list. The hosts are such lovely, welcoming and heartwarming people and took care of everything we needed above and beyond! Breakfast, lunch, teatimes and dinner were always delicious and made with love. For our morning safari (6:30 am pickup) Rassika even made us a sandwich package :) The room is super spacious, functional and very clean. The shower has warm water and really good water pressure. The vegetation of that place is just a beautiful scenery with colorful flowers and little birds singing in the morning and you can see some small bats in the evening from your little terrace. There is also a little lake around the corner where you can take a walk and cool off with a swim. We also booked a safari jeep tour, which was owned by Rassikas brother. You should definitely do this experience during your stay! The price is absolutely fine (25.000 LKR, no overcharge, hidden fees or sth.). We saw loads of elephants (even the little ones with their families) birds, peacocks and more. Just a wholesome amazing experience. So yeah what else to say as ENJOY YOUR STAY … I bet you definitely will 🥰

The place is in a village with nice walk to the main road. The Family that runs the place was very helpful and sweet. Breakfast was big and good.

Host was very kind, fresh and tasty breakfast. Optional dinner (very good) for additional cost - recommended. Laundry service available (with fee). Nice surrounding. Great value for money. Host can provide you transport if you ask.

There was no AC, only fan.

It's very nice place to stay , amazing hospitality, and delicious food, recommended 👌

Lake Island homestay is situated in a beautiful, tranquil setting and the hosts are so friendly, welcoming and helpful. They provided an amazing dinner and breakfast too. Would highly recommend for somewhere to stay near Dambulla!

The host family are incredibly friendly, warm, helpful and welcoming. They prepared a welcome juice for us, drove us all the way to the scooter rental address, helped us by walking us to the nearby bus stop to make sure we got on the right one and made us the most delicious meals! We felt super spoilt by them and I would definitely not hesitate in visiting them again. 100% recommend the host family :)

It's a bit dated and the bathroom could be a bit cleaner but not a big deal

We were a night stay at Lake Island Homestay recently, and it is highly recommended to stay. location is walking distance to Ibbankatuwa wewa. The place is very calm and quiet. The room is very clean and comfortable. The owner is very friendly & helpfully. There was a beautiful temple at the end of the lake, and it is a memorable place to us. They served a very delicious breakfast. good place to homestay.

The owners were kind and hospitable. Was always available to attend our needs without hesitation.

The place is very calm and quiet, with a big garden, away from busy roads. The room is not big, but comfortable, and there is a big common area. The hosting family is very nice, kind and ready to help, they make sure you have best experience of the area, they made me feel welcome. The breakfast i had was light, good and nutritious.

There was nothing i disliked to be honest

We can only recommend Lake Island Home Stay. The guesthouse is located in a pretty courtyard full of vegetation. You are a stone's throw from the lake where you can take a walk and cool off with a swim. At the end of the lake there is a very pretty Hindu temple which is worth the visit and you can also walk along the magnificent rice plantations and meet the kindness of the local people. The room is superb, spacious, functional and very clean. But what makes this beautiful place so charming is undoubtedly the hosts Rassika, her husband and her son who welcome you as if you were members of their own family. Rassika gave us places to visit and cooked us delicious breakfasts, snacks and dinners. She has always been caring, only wanting to please us and make us happy. During our stay, my friend suffered a severe neuralgic spinal attack causing unbearable pain and preventing him from walking. Rassika and her husband provided us with the medicines we needed to calm the pain. The next day the situation got worse and our hosts did everything they could to take my friend to a very good private clinic so that he could be taken care of as quickly as possible. Thanks to their actions, they were able to relieve the excruciating pain my friend was suffering, but even after that, Rassika remained attentive to our well-being, offering us fresh juice and cake. I have very rarely experienced such incredible, kind and dedicated hosts in my life. We could never thank them enough for everything they have done for us. These people are simply incredible and deserve the best. If you want to stay in Dambulla, this is definitely where you should leave your luggage for an unforgettable experience👌☺️ Isa & Vojtěch

Nothing because everything was perfect.

Ir was our first homestay in SL. Our host Rassica is a great person with extraordinary hospitality and allways present smile on her lips. We met also remaining persons of her family, which are alike. In the morning they seved us huge breakfast we were not able to finish. Afterwards her husband droped us at the bus stop for our next destination. Rassica supplied us with information, that helped us to orient ourself in a country we are visiting for first time. I can only recommend. Room is very spacious, clean. In front of the room is a terrace, where you can simply enjoy your time.Accomodation is located close to lake between trees so no AC is needed during night. Great service for small money..

Location is slightly out of city, but there is even bus stop , cca.100m with regular transport to city. The distance was something we knew about and was not a problem for us.

Hosts are really proffessional, courteous and helpfull. This hospitality can be rarely seen even in a star class hotel. keep up the good work ♥️

Lake island villa is very very comfortable place for stay..I really appreciate owner couple for their great hospitality ..very delicious food ...best stay home...
