We stayed in one of the new rooms and while it was clean and the bed comfortable, there was no other furniture and no... More

We had such a great time at this out-of-the-way gem. There are now two sets of rooms - the newer ones are huge and gleaming with fan, mosquito wire on windows, pretty impressive. They're also twice the price of the older rooms, but these are only like 10 bucks or something. Sure, the older rooms are a bit darker and... More

Dark, damp rooms. Dirty bed linen. The plumbing in the bathroom didn't work. Windows that cannot close so mosquitos have free play. And on top of in all both my partner and I got sick after having diner there. The location is great, and the owner very nice, but the place needs a lot of work done before it could... More

this place is just off the road outside of dambulla, about a 10 min tuk tuk drive/bus into dambulla city. it's close to all the main attractions of dambulla, but far enough out for you to escape the bustle of the city, noise, heat etc. it's opposite a huge, stunning lake which you can swim and boat in, and which...

If you want to go to Sigirya not using the main road, Little Dream is on the way! The guesthouse has 3 rooms i... More

We honestly did not have to many expectation but we were pleasently overwhelmed when we reached here. Little dream lives up to the Our Pick recommendation in the lonelyplanet guidebook. Ravi and his wife run this place of 3 rooms which are neat and clean, relaxed ambience. Although there are a few things that go against this place which i... More
