Samabe Lake, hotel in Dambulla

Situated in Dambulla, 23 km from Sigiriya Rock, Samabe Lake features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and water sports facilities.

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 !

    All the sites were wonderful - Sigiriya (the rock), Dambulla Caves (Amazing - especially cave #2), Polonnaruwa (Ancient City), Elephant Safari saw 40 to 50 elephants - Mothers and their children on a ridge at the very end of the safari! It was a great day to be able to see that many in the game reserve all together. I would spend minimum 3 but really 4 nights up here as the travel day really doesn't count because you aren't running out to see anything until the next day, so this way you have 3 full days to see all the sites and it isn't rushed. Also, you go out early in the morning as it gets too bloody hot in the middle of the day.

    Dambulla is a great place to explore, especially if you are a nature lover. Lots of greenery is preserved amidst the cave temples. Frescos at the Dambulla cave temple are amazingly beautiful. Inside the caves are cold though the outside temperature is steaming hot in the summer. Sigiriya rock is another attraction near Dambulla. It will take a half a day tour to climb up and down but if you want to explore more, the area surrounding the Sigiriya rock garden is vast and can wonder around the rock garden and historical ruins for hours. Good for hikers. Ibbankatuwa ancient grave yard, Pidurangala (A rock with nice view at the top, situated parallel to Sigiriya Rock are some of other nearby attractions.

    First of all we would like to thank the owner and the management for giving us the opportunity to stay at this beautiful resort. Colin and Ajit did a wonderful job of looking after us They are hard working, sincere and committed in their work. Few things that need to be sorted out were the overgrown creeper in the front which is preventing sunlight from entering the front of the house. Lighting in the room and bathroom need to be brighter. A stronger Wi-Fi would be welcome Overall an enjoyable stay Hope to visit again Regards

    Upon arriving I found out that I had forgotten the passports and traveling documents at the hotel in Colombo. Very stupid but immediately Athula, the owner, offered his assistance and next day all passports arrived by courier. Althula also brought us to the cave rock. We used Dambulla to visit Sigiriya and Anuradhapura which was very good from a traveling point of view. Breakfast was good and we enjoyed the location as it is situated in a quiet area. So we had a very good stay also because of the kindness of Athula and his family.

We felt very welcomed and would definetly go back if we were to stay again in Dambulla.

    Honestly, one of the best places we've been staying in Sri Lanka since a month. The room is clean, spacious and comfortable, it does have everything you need, even more. The lady and her family is so courteous, kind and available. She cooks so good, me and my partner we loved the food. The area is outside Dambulla and it's really peaceful. We surely come back on the way down. For the price that you pay, you get more then what you expect.

Really feels like they give more that 100% to the place - so many great details in the room and the place. We also had an amazing rice and curry for dinner and also got it vegan which was awesome! Overall one of the best stays in Sri Lanka!
