The Green Village Dambulla

Very cute and tucked away

The owner and his family go ALL OUT AND BEYOND for their guests! As a solo female traveler, I cannot feel safer in The Green Village - they make sure they are there for me whenever i am in the lodge, always helping me plan out my day even meals. The breakfast spread is amazing, the room is impeccably clean, steady hot water, comfortable AC, convenient location. They can organize any trip for you at a very reasonable price (in my case - day trip to Polonnaruwa, sunrise at Pidurangala Rock), also the owner owns a tuk tuk and he offers free drop to Dambulla Cave Temple; on my last morning, he even drove me to the bus stop! I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who visits Dambulla 🫶

Large, well equipped room. Comfy bed. Once you figured out the workings of the shower, it was nice and warm with good pressure. Very quiet, yet a short walk from several good restaurants and a large supermarket. Friendly and helpful hosts.

The Wifi was weak at first, absent for the second half of our stay - surprising in a place with excellent 5G coverage.

The staff were super friendly and available and offered to take us free of charge to the temple and take our luggage from where our driver was supposed to pick us up after.

The noise! So so so loud all night: animals, cars, the staff probably preparing the breakfast early in the morning. We didn’t sleep at all and that’s a big issue for us.
