Samabe Lake, hotel in Dambulla

Situated in Dambulla, 23 km from Sigiriya Rock, Samabe Lake features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and water sports facilities.

This boutique guest house is fantastic, located in front of the Samabe lake. This is such a peaceful, relaxing and quiet environment. A real paradise for all nature lovers - located just a few minutes away from Dambulla center. For now, there are only 2 cottages in the property. So basically the stay is very private (no noise around). The cottage size is very good with a terrace from where you can enjoy the view of the lake. The personnel is very friendly - and insisted to invite me for a lovely boat tour on the lake for free. Surprisingly there was no mosquito in the cottage whereas we could think that there might be due to the proximity of the lake. The WiFi was working very fine. All was perfect. From this place, i did visit Dambulla (e.g Golden temple) and its surroundings- up to Habarana for a half a day safari (mainly elephants spotted) in the national park of Minneriya/Eco lodge. Spent 2 wonderful nights …and wish I would have more time to stay more !

    All the sites were wonderful - Sigiriya (the rock), Dambulla Caves (Amazing - especially cave #2), Polonnaruwa (Ancient City), Elephant Safari saw 40 to 50 elephants - Mothers and their children on a ridge at the very end of the safari! It was a great day to be able to see that many in the game reserve all together. I would spend minimum 3 but really 4 nights up here as the travel day really doesn't count because you aren't running out to see anything until the next day, so this way you have 3 full days to see all the sites and it isn't rushed. Also, you go out early in the morning as it gets too bloody hot in the middle of the day.

    Dambulla is a great place to explore, especially if you are a nature lover. Lots of greenery is preserved amidst the cave temples. Frescos at the Dambulla cave temple are amazingly beautiful. Inside the caves are cold though the outside temperature is steaming hot in the summer. Sigiriya rock is another attraction near Dambulla. It will take a half a day tour to climb up and down but if you want to explore more, the area surrounding the Sigiriya rock garden is vast and can wonder around the rock garden and historical ruins for hours. Good for hikers. Ibbankatuwa ancient grave yard, Pidurangala (A rock with nice view at the top, situated parallel to Sigiriya Rock are some of other nearby attractions.

    First of all we would like to thank the owner and the management for giving us the opportunity to stay at this beautiful resort. Colin and Ajit did a wonderful job of looking after us They are hard working, sincere and committed in their work. Few things that need to be sorted out were the overgrown creeper in the front which is preventing sunlight from entering the front of the house. Lighting in the room and bathroom need to be brighter. A stronger Wi-Fi would be welcome Overall an enjoyable stay Hope to visit again Regards

    It’s proximity to both Dambulla Cave Temple and Golden Temple were excellent. Virtually a ten minute walk from the hotel. The staff here were super friendly and always with a smile. We found this hotel very generous offering to drop us into town and laundry service also. The pool was very nice and refreshing with a swim up bar and food available at poolside. Perfect for cooling off after our walk up and down the mountain. Dambulla town itself is not much, we took just over an hour to look around before walking back to the Hotel.

    If you are looking for accommodation in the heart of Dambulla with a special flair, Krishan and his family will give you a very warm welcome. The rooms have their very own style but are kept very clean. Krishan always had a tip ready and was always available for a chat. His mother also conjures up the very best Sri Lankan dishes. If you want to visit Dambulla and the surrounding area and don't have a driver, Krishan with his Tuk Tuk will take you everywhere.

    We were very pleased with our stay at The Green Edge. Stuff was very helpful from the beginning and helped us organize transport from Colombo to Dambulla, and Tuktuks around the neighbourhood. They are really nice, well-mannered people who always try to help their guests. Hotel is very peaceful, quiet and well-kept. Place itself is very clean, cosy. Perfect hotel to relax. And ofc breakfast was very delicious . I recommend this place.

    I had a wonderful stay at Kingdom gate hotel. The friendly staff provided a warm welcome (Ceylon tea) , and I tried some Sri Lanka food was delightful. Service was excellent. They have big swimming pool and quiet garden. It's evident the hotel is evolving, and I believe it has the potential to become even more impressive in the future.

    This hotel is a little oasis in the crazy main drag of Dambulla. We found it good to travel to other places, got a tuk tuk to Anuradhapura, that was an experience! The food at this hotel was amazing, there’s a wait, because everything is cooked fresh, but it’s well worth waiting for. The staff are so helpful. Recommend.

    Location was in a rural area about 3.5 kms from the centre of Dambulla, but this suited us. The road was fairly quiet overall. Breakfasts were varied, all Sri Lankan in style, nice fruit juices. Happy to help organise a moped for a couple of days, at a reasonable cost.
