girilena resort

Very quite and frindly place. The owners are lovely and very helpful. We had very good lunch and dinner in their little restaurant and they helped us organising the local tours

Nothing

A wonderful place to stay. The hosts are kind and friendly, and the home cooked food is exceptional. We took the simple tour of the area offered up to Pidurangala (we skipped the Lion Rock rip off). Just out of town it's a quiet and charming place.

There was nothing not to like. It suited our tastes perfectly and the owners are just lovely people you wish the absolute best for.

The beds are not really comfortable to sleep in & the toilet in the tree house isn’t great (atleast not like it looks in the pictures)

The family who runs the hotel is very hospitable. The room was nice and clean with all the facilities. The breakfast was very generous and delicious. The hotel is also at a walkable distance from the royal cave temple. Must recommended hotel in Dambulla.

It's a no frills hotel with four rooms. However, it's comfortable enough and good enough for short stays. The location in a wooded area just behind the Dambulla Rock temple is excellent. The access road is unpaved so that traveling in a high ground clearance vehicle is recommended. The rooms are very well maintained and are spotlessly clean. The bed is comfortable and tea/coffee making facility is available. One thing lacking here is a cupboard. There's access to a large balcony facing the jungle and the rock behind the temple premises. One can walk to the temple in about 10 minutes. Even the Dambulla town is within walking distance. Ibbankatuwa lake is about 10 minutes by vehicle. Minneriya and Ecopark national parks are readily accessible from here. The host family that lives in the same premises is extremely humble, friendly and helpful.

The location of the accommodation is around 10 minutes to the cave temple and then down to the Golden Buddha, also a nice walk up to an unknown/ non touristic sunset and panoramic viewpoint. The breakfast and dinner we ate were delicious with lots of variation and great portions. The hosts are very friendly and helpful with offering organized activities and providing suggestions. They also provide tuktuk rides to sigiriya, around dumbulla and even drove us to our next destination kandy. As it is a jungle location, there are cute squirrels and lizards to be seen.

When we stayed the shower water wasn't hot but was refreshing after a warm day out exploring. This didn't pose a problem to us

Very nice and clean! Comfortable mattress.Very frinedly peopeple. Excellent breakfest and we order diner. Very tasty. I really recomened this place.

Run by a warm and welcoming family, this guesthouse offers a truly homely experience. The hosts are incredibly helpful and go above and beyond. Enjoy a delicious traditional breakfast in their lovely garden. Perfectly located at the base of the holy mountain, with the city center within easy walking distance.
