Dambulla Homestays

It’s my second trip to Sri Lanka and I am so glad I found this hidden gem! I have loved my stay at wild grass. The villa was huge, minimalist, refined, tranquil with all the essentials I needed. The balcony perfect for a relaxing beer, reading a book or simply meditating or sitting with the sounds of nature around you. Showering outdoors as tropical rain poured down or stars shone above was great. Wifi was good. I saw monkeys, birds, frogs, turtles even a chicken in the grounds. The perfect place for an escape from life, that you may never know you needed so much and may find yourself considering staying for a life in the tropics once you realise you did. A handy base for exploring rocks, ruins, mountains, rice fields, village life and more without too much travelling time. Recommend to hire a driver/car for your stay as it is a bit remote so this gives you freedom to go as you please. Staff were super kind, attentive, caring and helpful and ensured I had everything I needed during my stay even with our super early 4am exhausted arrival! We did miss traffic and sites along the way and it was a pleasure to wake up from that long travelling day in such a nice place but if a long drive after your flight isn’t your thing consider a night closer to airport first and head up next day if your flight arrives late. The meals we’re delicious and high quality, you must have the curries and the sri lankan breakfast 🤤 Nice pool and everything was clean, tidy, extremely diligent to covid protocols and mainly outdoors so low risk in that respect given the times we find ourselves travelling in. The bonus of that I was privileged to stay at a time when the resort, the island itself was having only minimal tourists so don’t waste time thinking about it book your stay as soon as you can get here and take advantage of that luxury as this magical island can be busy sometimes. A bit sad to be changing places tomorrow after such a lovely stay in the tranquil calming surrounds of wild grass but look forward to a trip back and pleased to be able to recommend it to others and thank all the staff that looked after me during my stay!

PROS: - very spacious room! and everything is clean, I was totally impressed when I arrived. - the staff not only helped me hire a tuktuk for a day tour but also recommended to hitch with another solo traveller for the same tour and date. won my budget, tour experience and also a new friend - very sumptuous breakfast! - the staff are very friendly. they served free tea after checkout while passing time and got a free history lesson and current events of Sri Lanka too - centrally located, just a stone throw away from the clock tower which is very close by the bus stops, restaurants and groceries CONS: none! I would totally recommend this property and would like to stay here again

Me and my partner stayed in Queens rest for 2 nights. Manoj and his family could have not been more accommodating if they tried! They were fantastic hosts, both breakfast and dinner was delicious every day, Sri Lanka Pineapple Cocktails were also wonderful. The treehouses were very well sized and surrounded by beautiful Sri Lankan flora and fauna with fresh fruit grown on site and lots of friendly critters - a wonderful jungle experience! Lions Rock and Pidurangala are both in walking distance - Manoj even drove us to Pidurangala at 5am so we could do the sunrise hike (highly recommend) free of charge. They also provided us with transport so we could go and see the Dambulla Cave Temples (also recommend) and visit local shops and spice garden. We truly loved our stay here and would visit again
