Hotel Hanguk Villa

Very clean and comfortable! Great value!

Can't rate this place highly enough. Incredibly helpful staff (laundry service, organizes tours and tuk tuks), beautiful breakfast (and dinner too on request), amazing location walking distance from the town but quiet and beautiful scenery. Mosquito nets for the beds. Will do everything they can for you.

Everything was perfect, don't hesitate.

Kahvaltısı güzel , yatak rahattı.Çalışanlar güleryüzlü ve çözüm odaklı. Şehir merkezine yakın sayılır.Sakin ve doğal bir ortamda.

Buzdolabı yok ve oda içi malzemeler biraz yıpranmış.

¡Superó todas nuestras expectativas!. El mejor alojamiento en el que hemos estado en Sri Lanka. Esta todo impecable los muebles son preciosos. Ademas te dejan una kettle y unas tazas para poder hacerte un té. El jardín es una verdadera pasada, super bien puesto y agradable. Sanida es super majo, nos ayudo en todo lo que le pedimos. Ademas la comida esta buenísima y a muy buen precio te preparan lo que quieras (dentro de una carta bastante extensa). ¡No te lo pierdas!

Es todo mucho mejor de lo que esperábamos.

Less than a 5-minute drive from the city center, this hotel is nestled on a vast plain, creating a tranquil escape. Its location is convenient for Sigiriya (approximately a 30-minute drive), downtown Dambulla, and the cave temples. The room was comfortable, the amenities worked flawlessly, the garden setting was delightful, and the staff were warm and attentive. The breakfast was delicious and highly recommended! For such a reasonable price, with such a good accommodation and breakfast, and a prime location, it's truly excellent!

Super nette Leute, sauberes Zimmer, gut riechende Wäsche. Grosses Zimmer mit AC & Ventilator

Very clean room, peaceful gardens and good base for seeing Dambulla temple and Sigiriya rock.

A perfect place to relax after touring the area. The room was very clean with A/C , moscito nets and enough towels. The staff was super friendly and helpful with arranging for tours, transportation and getting to and on the right bus. Meals were good and the beautiful and well kept garden is nice to relax since there are several nice sitting areas. The location is quiet but walking distance (ca. 10 min) to the main road.

Good standard stay. Loved the hospitality. Food was top-notch.

Nothing....loved everything

We traveled with our little daughter, who really enjoyed it. The accommodation is small but perfectly sufficient. It is located in beautiful nature, where you wake up to the sound of peacocks and other birds. The surroundings are stunning, and the breakfast area is lovely. We recommend trying their traditional sweet Sri Lankan breakfast. It is definitely ideal for a family with children. The location is perfect, just a 10-minute walk from the city. The owner is great and helpful; he offered tuk-tuk rides to and from the city and also assisted with getting on the bus to Kandy. Thank you!

Beautiful styled and laid out rooms. The owners were warm and friendly. The grounds are really pretty with lots of different areas to spend time. We particularly liked the terrace outside each room.

Everything was perfect! I highly recommend! The room was clean and spacious and the views all around are breathtaking.

Villa Hanguk is an ideal spot if you plan to explore the Dambulla area. The owner is incredibly helpful, offering assistance with scooter or tuk-tuk rentals and organizing local trips. The villa is nestled just 400 meters from the main city street, surrounded by lush paddy fields. The beautifully maintained garden is filled with vibrant plants and flowers, offering plenty of cozy spots to relax—whether in a hammock, at a dining area, or playing table games. Being in the middle of nature, you can expect the delightful sounds of wildlife, including peacocks. It truly adds to the charm of the place. One of the highlights of our stay was the Sri Lankan food. The meals were not only delicious but also generously portioned. I highly recommend skipping outside restaurants and instead asking the staff to prepare dinner for you—you won’t be disappointed!

Very good breakfast. Beautiful garden and quiet place. Great family business with nice staff. They are very helpfull! :)

Great place to stay in Dambulla. Friendly family running the place. Delicious meals prepared in the place. Owner can recommend you great guides that will take you to Sigirigya, Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. Thank you for the stay!

Having a wardrobe in the room would be nice for longer stay but managed without it :)

very friendly & helpful family run hotel. good location, large room, excellent breakfast & dinner..

Spotless nice yard and room, staff super helpful and friendly, arranged tours and transport for us, food was really good. Surrounded by rice fields, expected calm sleep but nonetheless due to thin walls we could hear some party nearby.

The feeling of damp in the room was strong, weak wifi. One staff member was listening to the music very loudly.

This the best stay which you can choose in Dambulla city! The hotel is located in a walk distance from the main road between the rice fields. You will have peace and nature around you. The rooms are great and clean with all necessarcy equipment (hair dryer, hot water, towels etc.). The staff is excelent and really helpful - they will organize everything you need. It’s worth to mention about their restaurant- big portions, delicious food and great prices. If you planning to visit Sigirya/Polonnaruwa - again ask the host. They know the really nice guy with tuk tuk who transport you, show you hidden spots and tell a lot about the neighborhod. As always in a really good price.

This was the best accommodation of our 3 week stay in Sri Lanka! The place is very nice and calm in the middle of fields. Just lovely.

The hospitality was really good—everyone was so welcoming, kind, and always ready to help with a smile. They shared valuable information about nearby places to visit and were able to arrange trips for us as well. The food was very tasty, with generous portions at very reasonable prices. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and everything was well-maintained. A special thanks again to Sanira, who ensured we caught the perfect bus to Kandy—such thoughtful service! Thank you so much for your kindness and exceptional hospitality. I highly recommend staying here!

Excellent place, excellent staff, excellent location. We loved the food, very tasty and prepared with care. Breakfast was full of variety every day. Hosts were very kind and eager to help. We couldn't be happier, absolute value, would recommend to anybody without reservations.

Nothing, everything was top notch.

Environment and location

Nothing

Great place, very well located. Close to the center (5 minutes walking) but in a quiet location, surrounded by rice fields. Awesome and super friendly staff, they help you with anything you could wish for.

Super friendly stuff ! Super kind and helpful !

Nothing to say

We recently stayed at this wonderful family-run hotel in Dambulla, and we can’t recommend it enough! While the accommodation itself was simple, it was spotless and had everything needed for a peaceful and comfortable stay. The location was perfect—tucked away in a tranquil area yet close enough to the main road and attractions. What really set this place apart was the incredible hospitality. One highlight was the food—don’t miss out on their Kottu dishes! They were among the best we had during our travels in Sri Lanka, made fresh and bursting with authentic flavors. The service was exceptional, and the host went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. They have themselves Tuk Tuk service, but also helped us organising local tours with great knowledge and also with car transfers. Everything was organized seamlessly, and the communication through WhatsApp was excellent—quick, clear, and always helpful. If you’re looking for a warm, peaceful, and authentic experience in Dambulla with amazing food and top-notch service, this is the perfect place. We’re so grateful for the memories we made here and would happily return!

A small detail: Room insulation, as in other Sri Lankan hotels, is not that good. However, this did not disturb us at all. In fact, sleeping with the sounds of nature was actually quite pleasant!

Such a lovely place! Quiet, surrounded by rice fields, and breakfast in a beautiful garden. The room was comfortable and clean. The two members of staff were so helpful and arranged transport to the sites. Food was excellent. I thoroughly recommend!

The staff is super attentive and really wonderful. The hotel was very clean and comfortable and it should be noted that it is very quiet 🧘🏼‍♀️ Recommended! Thank you!

100% recommend this accommodation, spacious, clean room, good breakfast and very friendly staff.

The location is really nice as it is a bit away from the main toad (5min walk). The hosts are the nicest guys, which were ready to arrange everything we have asked for. They have arranged a safari in Kaudulla and then dropoff at the next hotel we were staying. They prepared us the most delicious curry and rice for dinner. Breakfast was also amazing, Srilankan’s pancakes and roti, fresh fruit and fresh juice. I recommend this hotel to everyone and we were sad that couldn’t stay for more nights.

The owner picked us up at the bus stop and welcomed us with a fresh drink. We were happy to stay at this villa. The room has everything you need, the ac, the fan and it was very clean. It is located a bit far from the center but we liked it even more, because it was super calm. The owner also dropped us at the temple entrance and picked us up from there on his tuktuk all at the price of pick me app. Then the other day he drove us to sigiriya and even packed us a breakfast to go (tip: put it in your backpack), showed us other places on the way back and then helped us arrange a jeep trip to the national park with the elephants. The breakfast and dinner we had there were delicious. The staff is extremely polite and friendly!

Liked everything. The pillow was a bit uncomfortable for me personally, my husband was ok with it though

We stayed for 3 days and it was amazing! The rooms were nice, the was hot water and a fan and AC. The hotel spaces are very beautiful and the food they serve is amazing, best food we’be tried in Sri Lanka. But the best part are the workers there, they are super nice and helpful! They helped us booking all the activities we wanted to do, brought us at 4am to hike and they play card games with us. It felt like home to us and we sre forever grateful, wish we could’ve stayed more. A 10/10,we really recommend it!❤️ Ona & Jana

Nothing, everything was amazing

Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. Our highlight in particular was the hospitality of a young boy who worked there, he was the kindest soul we have ever met. The food was amazing and the sunrise rock with the host was arranged very easily.

The stay was nice and comfortable, the location is a few meters away from the main road which is good because its more quiet at night and in the morning. Only 3km to Dambulla Cave temple. The staff are really welcoming and helpful

It was so nice Hangkut Villa location 10 minuts walking from one of the main streets, where you can find restaurants and supermarkets. It was pretty nice the garden and peaceful location.

Stay is located in the rice fields, quite surrounding away from the busy road. Stuff are nice and picked us up from the bus stop.

Location is outside of Dambulla but in 15min walking distance from the main road.

Really good place

Nothing

Best experience in Sri Lanka, everything was just perfect. Clean, tidy, welcoming, nice and friendly with good food. Compliments !

All perfect

It is a hotel with a very good quality-price ratio. It is located in a very quiet place. The rooms are very spacious and very clean. They overlook a very pretty garden. The breakfast is very good and abundant. We had rice with curry and chicken for dinner there, which was a delight. The staff was very attentive. They picked us up at the station and helped us arrange the motorcycle rental. Very friendly. It's a great place.

Incredible stay. Very clean and comfortable, with working AC and a ceiling fan. Both warm and cold water for the shower. Most notably, the hosts were fantastic! So welcoming and so helpful. When we arrived they drove us to a scooter rental so we could get our scooter. The one day we had to leave early to go to Sigiriya for the day and they packed us a breakfast to go. Dinner at their restaurant was affordable and delicious. On the morning we left, they drove us to the bus station and stayed with us to make sure we caught the right bus. If you’re staying in Dambulla you should definitely stay here. These may be the most helpful hosts I’ve ever had while travelling across Southeast Asia.

We had a great time at Sunida's place. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, with lots of plants, lizards and birdlife. It's only a short walk from the main road. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The room is simple, very clean, with a fan and air conditioning. It has a comfortable bed and mosquito net. We stayed six nights and the breakfast was delicious and different everyday! It was mostly Sri Lankan and all vegetarian, and included a plate of fruit and freshly made juice. We especially loved the traditional pancakes. We also had one lunch and it was delicious!

Amazing little gem of a place. We had 2 rooms and they were very comfortable. The people were incredibly kind. They did everything they could to make our stay the best. You only had to ask and they would help. They know all about the local attractions so don’t hesitate to ask. Breakfast and dinner was just perfect for us. Super tasty local food. Really enjoyed staying here and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere quiet but convenient.

Beautiful Location. Very clean and very comfortable. Such friendly Hosts, Late Check out was no Problem. Great Breakfast!

Private area, parking

Very nice and helpful staff! Valid prices and relaxed place! There's a free pick-up service from the bus station.

Very quiet place, fantastic staff, ready to help you with anything. Very tasty breakfast and clean room. Accomodation is bit away from city center, but for many of you it may be a main selection criteria.... as it was for us.. I can just recommend it!

I liked everything...

The staff was so friendly and welcoming, the location is perfect. Delicious traditional breakfast with juices, comfy beds and a very clean room. It has a beautiful garden too.

The room was very clean and comfortable! The personnel was really hospital and made us feel so nice! The yard was amazing in front of the hotel where we had our breakfast

Location is great, next to rice fields just off the main road to avoid the trafic. Big rooms and toilets. Garden is beautiful. Staff like every in Sri Lanka smiley and exceptional.

This place is really perfect. clean , comfortable beds, room is big enough, staff very friendly, quiet- just 500m from the main street.

very simple but lovely hotel for a night or two if your are visiting sightseeng in this area. hotel located a bit aside, nothing around but we enjoyed the silence and nature. Breakfast was very deliciouse, the best roti i ate in Sri-Lanka. Stuff is helpfull and friendly.

Having already visited the nearby historical sights I had a super chill time at the accommodation. The staff were all really lovely, even are picked me up from the bus station for free. Room was a really good size and standard, peaceful setting off of the main road. I had a later check in for my next place and they kindly let me chill in the room for a few extra hours.

Villa is run by two nice brothers. Always helpful and always smiling. The villa is a bit out of the way, but the sounds of the morning are stunning. The uniqueness of the place is made even more special by the breakfasts served...I know what I'm saying, because it's hard to satisfy me with food. Comfortable bed, clean room. We wholeheartedly recommend this place

We reached the hotel too early in the morning (it was around 7 a.m.) and the guy who was at the reception was super kind and went to clean and prepare the room for us. It was amazing experience and it helped us to survive the long trin that we had. MANY THANKS!

Excellent clean room, friendly welcome. Nice fresh juice on arrival. Better than the pictures! Very nice new AC, great bathroom with hot showers, really good mosquito nets with elastic edging. Set well back from the lorry and bus filled busy main road with really nice views across to the hills, was very tranquil. Can sit out the front of your room or there was the covered eating area with dartboard. Re-opened 7 months ago and the new owners are doing a great job. Included breakfast with fruit, toast and eggs. Would thoroughly recommend this place if staying in dambulla, great value and as mentioned before, away from the busy main road.

Nothing, all good!

Great host. Free tuk tuk ride from bus station.

Very clean and comfortable, the staff were smiley and friendly, willing to help where able. The location is ideal for access to the busy centre but far enough away that you don't have the noise that goes with it. The beautiful views made the already enjoyable and filling breakfast, even better. AC and fan worked well!

Not much!

The place is new, very nice beautiful, huge double bed, nice bathroom with hot water, the air conditioner worked really well and included breakfast.

Very helpful personnel. Really clean and new facilities. Breakfast was authentic Sri Lankan food, which we appreciated.

The hosts were very kind

This is a very nice villa among the countryside, surrounded by beautiful landscape and peaceful sounds. The room and bathroom were very clean and the mattress super comfortable, everything was perfect to relax after long days of exploration. I loved the breakfast and the owners are very nice and welcoming.

Everything

It was a great experience in this place. I expected to be only one night in Dambulla, but I felt so confortable in this Villa hat finally I decided stay tree nights and move from here to visit Sirigiya and National Park to see elephants and came back. Also you have bus from here to many other places, like Anuradapura and Trincomalee. Ishara and Madusanka, the people who work in the hotel, were very, very nice, they help me with anything I could need, so kindness people, always with a smile in their faces. They mantein the place very, very clean, spotless. If they don't have something you need they try to help with all their possibilities. Wonderful experience here. Thank you

beautiful new rooms, located in a garden in a quiet side road from main street (at night better take Tuktuk). Dejan and his family were very friendly, delicious breakfast.

Nice property to hang out at after a long day of sightseeing, renovated rooms and kind hosts.Walking distance 20 min from the bus station at the centre. Place is located a lil bit off the noisy area of Dambula.

I recommend to get a tuk tuk at night since the road to the condo is dark at night and leads through some fields.

Very clean, amazing host always smiling

Very clean with also hair drier. Room is very new amd with high ceiling and the beds super comfortable. Amazing breakfast with fruit, fresh fruit juice, samball, eggs, jams, coconut rotti. Very nice location and style.

I would suggest to put some mosquito nets to the windows because the place is in a field so even if the room was very clean, there can be insects as soon as you open the door/ Windows. Mosquito net anyway is present on the bed.

Everything was great, very clean large room with good furniture, hot water in the bathroom, everything is new and modern, thought out to the smallest detail, stylish and there are interesting design solutions. The staff and host are extremely friendly and helpful, they help if needed. In addition, I really liked the location - very close to the main street, but very quiet and peaceful. Around is nature and you can see birds and mongooses. In addition, the breakfast was great, you can also order dinner if you wish.

Modern rooms and good service
