We reached the hotel too early in the morning (it was around 7 a.m.) and the guy who was at the reception was super kind and went to clean and prepare the room for us. It was amazing experience and it helped us to survive the long trin that we had. MANY THANKS!

On arrival we were greeted by Nuwan and his wife and immediately made to feel so welcome. The room itself is beautiful and clean. We slept so well. Although there is no a/c there is a fan which does the job well. The breakfast included was brilliant with plenty of fresh fruit! Nuwan took time to help with anything we needed including giving us lots of advice on places to visit, the best routes to get there etc. We are driving our own tuktuk and when we had difficulty starting it in the morning, Nuwan helped to get us on our way. One evening we had the home cooked meal of kottu and it was super tasty. Plenty of food and seconds if we wanted any. Such an amazing first homestay of our trip. Will be recommending to everyone.

The couple running the homestay was fantastic! They were very welcoming, cooked really great dinner and breakfast and welcomed us with homemade passionfruit juice! They also helped to arrange a tour of the area and even drove us to our next stay in Anuradhapura themselves which was a very enjoyable drive. The room was also perfect, clean and comfortable.

The family which runs this property are very good and humble. Owner was kind enough to pick us directly from bus stand to the Homestay. They served authentic Srilankan food which was very tasty. Royal cave temple and Dambulla stadium are quite near and we can get tuk tuk easily. Go to place to stay if you are visiting sigiriya and Dambulla.

The room was a great size, spotlessly clean. We booked on the afternoon we intended to check in, Roy was very accommodating and a fabulous host. The breakfast was so delicious with so much variety too. Roy also helped us book a last minute elephant safari, cooked us a sumptuous traditional Sri Lankan dinner, and dropped us off at the bus station for our onward journey. He even went back to the property when we realised we had forgotten one of our bags. A wonderful man! Thanks for a great stay!

We just had the most incredible 2-night stay at Blue Mountains View and we can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. Host Pradeep and his adorable 6-week-old daughter Thia were so welcoming. Venue manager Dishani’s warmth and hospitality made our stay feel personal and special. She gave us a fantastic introduction to the farm, explained everything in detail, and provided great instructions for a walk to the nearby village (which we highly recommend – it’s a must-do!). Deshani’s care really made us feel like we were part of their family. We initially booked a non-A/C room by mistake, but Pradeep was kind enough to reorganize our stay and moved us to a comfortable A/C room, which was much appreciated. Do note that two of the rooms don’t have A/C, so make sure to check the room details if you prefer that extra comfort. The food at Blue Mountains View was truly a highlight. All meals are vegan, prepared with love by Pradeep’s mama, and every dish was absolutely delicious! We had breakfast and dinner at the farm, and the meals were so fresh and flavorful. As the food is vegan and we needed some protein, we bought some eggs on our way back from Sigriya, and Deshani kindly helped us have them cooked for both dinner and breakfast. Pradeep’s uncle Thisa took us on a special tour of the farm, which was a unique experience. We got to learn about the organic farming process and saw firsthand how they grow their crops. It was an insightful and heartwarming experience, and it made us appreciate the farm even more. Overall, our stay at Blue Mountains View was unforgettable. The combination of warm hospitality, incredible food, and the peaceful, beautiful surroundings made it an experience we’ll cherish. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Dambulla and looking for a relaxing, authentic experience. Thank you, Pradeep, Thia, Deshani and Thisa for making our stay so special!

What a beautiful place! I enjoyed this place with my partner. We had a beautiful room facing the valley and Ella's rock. It was just wonderful to sit down on the balcony and admire the scenery. The whole family running the place is amazing. Super attentive, kind and ready to answer any questions we may have. The breakfast was amazing too! We slept very comfortably, the room was pretty nice and clean. Important info for us: there is a fridge in the room :).
