girilena resort

The resort is in a secluded place, quiet and tranquil. It's managed by a small family and the host has made sure everything to make our trip comfortable. There are a couple of swings for kids to play, a tree house to rent and a lot of trees that bring fresh air. The rooms are clean. The linens are fresh. The breakfast was awesome! The host has cooked us breakfast with fresh organic vegetables. Don't miss the pancakes!!!

They don't provide accommodation for Drivers. If you are traveling with a guide or a Driver, then make alternative arrangements.

Near to the main city and relax calm place

Nothing all good for us

Nice and big room with balcony and a big garden. The owner is really friendly and try to make your stay comfortable and you can book a tour to the lions rock or other places. Also the breakfast is good.

I spent 2 nights at Girilena Resort, and was very satisfied with my stay. The bed was comfortable (with a mosquito net), room was spacious, breakfast was amazing, and the hosts were the best! From the moment I arrived in Dambulla, Dilshan (the manager) was amazing. He helped me with any queries I had, helped plan day trips,provided transportation whenever I needed, and went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience in general. I felt very comfortable staying here as a solo female traveller, and would highly recommend Girilena Resort :)

We stayed in the tree house in Girilena Resort for 2 days. The house is really authentic and beautiful. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was really well designed. The AC was working fine and there are plenty of contacts for charging. There are two big monkey families living on the nearby rock, so expect visitors. The house is lokated on 5 min walk from the buda temple and in the same time is away from the main Road. Dilshan is just great! He arranged our trip to sigiriya for a reasonable price, drove us around the city and explained to us everything we asked. His english is very good. He helped us arrange our transport to Kandy and even drove us to bus station for free. Highly recommend Staying in Girilena Resort. We had a great time and will deffinetly stay again on our next visit.

Water pressure was kinda low from the shower.

Dilshan and his brother are lovely hosts. Always available to satisfy any request and full of useful advice. Dilshan is also a great cook! Near the structure there is magnificent countryside and a little further on the superb cave temple.

The location is perfect near the buddhist temple. Nice and clean room delicious homemade food. The owner helped with many information. We will come back .

Dilshan and his team are amazing, they were very hospitable. The check-in and check-out went smoothly. We planned our elephant safari in advance, but they also can arrange it if you ask. Also, they have own tuk-tuks, so they brought us to Sigiriya. The breakfasts were delicious and different every morning, so we were lucky to taste home-cooked Sri Lankan dishes. The location of the hotel is very close to cave temple, and surrounded by trees. We could see monkeys in the trees, nice birds, and even saw a beautiful tropical frog - for us it was very interesting. The room was big and clean. Bathroom was ok, but water pressure was a bit weak. We had our own mobile data, so we forgot to ask for wi-fi password, so cannot comment on that. The room had air conditioner, but it was a bit too loud to keep it at night, but it cooled the room well when we turned it on. We truly enjoyed our stay.

There was too much nature to our taste, for example monkeys were sometimes noisy while jumping on the roof and there were some bugs in the room - but it is just a note for people, not a question to the hotel. It is located in rural area, so people shall be morally prepared to meet more life creatures than usually ;)
