"A special place in Dambulla"

9.0

Beautiful setting next to a small lake.Room very large and comfortable with a fridge and very comfortable couch to be able to sit and enjoy your coffee or tea. Also a kettle with cups and saucers next to the couch.Hot water shower in the spacious bathroom. If you like peace and quiet and love nature,this is a good place to stay.Loved that there's only two cabanas there,so very private.

Only a suggestion, but, the maintenance could be improved, I think when they first opened it was probably a great deal better.

"Clean room, nice location, excellent staff and service, great value for money."

9.0

Beautiful location, and clean comfortabel room with hot water, felt very exclusive with only two chalets, private dining table by the lake and incredibly attentive staff who couldn’t have done more for us, even washed our tuk-tuk! Good food and free coffee! Fridge in the room to keep my beer cold! Excellent value for money, I would highly recommend.

Would have liked tea/coffee in the room (there was a kettle and water). Bathroom could have been in a better state of repair but there was hot water and it was perfectly adequate. Neither small issue would stop me staying here again.

"Very good"

8.0

That was a great stay and experience we had there in Samabe Lake. First of all location is really really awesome, it was perfect for who is looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway.

Bathroom of this place was horrible. The condition of the bathroom was very bad and was disgusting.

"Fantastic stay ! Love it all"

10.0

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 !

Nothing. All was perfect.

"Yuriy backpacker - inexpensive and beautiful, breakfast included"

10.0

I am a backpacker traveling with one backpack and often stop spontaneously in different places with my friends. I prefer to choose housing at an inexpensive price. In this case, the place exceeded all my expectations. comfortable houses next to the lake. Cool canoe boat for independent sailing. The room has everything you need for relaxation. There is hot water and there was even a TV.

I liked everything

"We recommend visiting. very good feelings"

10.0

This is a unique place. With a beautiful natural area. There is a lake on the territory. natural habitat of many birds. You can sail on the lake by boat or catamaran. in the middle of the lake there is a beautiful island where you can hold a romantic ceremony. We booked 2 houses. We were greeted and accommodated very well. The price also includes the opportunity to choose one of the traditional Sri Lankan breakfasts. We love Sri Lankan cuisine and always enjoy trying it in different places. The hotel's location is close to main roads, which also allows you to travel into the city and explore local establishments. This place is truly worthwhile, it can calm the mind and give inner happiness.
