SA Village, hotel in Dambulla

Surrounded by lush greenery, SA Village offers tranquil and comfortable accommodation with free WiFi access in its public areas.

What a beautiful homestay! We loved our hosts, the room was so spacious, with a lovely outside terrace and totally spotless. We were greeted with big smiles and a welcome drink. Breakfast was delicious and huge. Calm, peaceful environment. So close to the amazing cave temple and golden Buddha. Our host spent so much time giving us lots of helpful information and even walked us to the bus stop to help catch the right bus to Kandy. Dinner is also available upon request. I would highly recommend SA Village. What a lovely place to stay…we really enjoyed it and would happily stay again!

    The location of the farm was excellent, you will find yourself in places you would not come otherwise. Pradeep's place is very well maintained, we stayed in one of the cheaper rooms and they were quite basic but that's what we wanted. If you are up for more luxury there are four new rooms which are all very modern and super clean! The farm is great and staff super friendly and helpful. It was a great way to get a peek in actual sri lankan culture. Would definitely recommend going here!

    A very generously proportioned room, very clean with a fridge and a large balcony. Nice, helpful staff. The hotel is in the centre of Dambulla so it is easy to acquire taxi’s etc. to take you to all of the attractions at a fairly low cost. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel for the budget traveller. The bus stop is right outside the hotel. You can also easily get a tuktuk to nice restaurants on the outskirts of the city, the bakery below the hotel is also nice.

    For a budget traveller you really get a great experience, the owners are lovely and so helpful. The location is great as it is out of Dambulla centre. If you have your own transport is ideal although you can always get a tuk tuk. Breakfast was good enough food and drink to serve you up for the day.
