We had a room on the first floor with airco. There was a mosquieto net, but filled with holes, so we replaced it with our own. It's better to keep the windows closed, because in the area there are a lot of monkeys. The food here is a bit expensive, diner is 800 rps and breakfast 400 rps. The rice... More

I stayed here only one night,to visit Sigiriya and Dambulla,and Saman's guesthouse is a perfect budget place for this area.clean,spacious rooms with very nice bathrooms,very helpful staff and just 5 min.away from the Temple caves.Although on the main road,it's a quiet place.I wish the family all the best and can certainly recommend this place!

We were there just for one night, but it was a big surprise! This guesthouse was reccommended by a tuk tuk driver in Kandy, and there we met Roshan, son of the owner, who speaks a perfect Italian, who gave us some tips about what to do and what to do not in Dambulla! Our room was really nice and... More

Stayed here for two nights. Rooms are nice. Bathroom had just been redone but no hot water. Price for the rooms is good and there is also free WiFi but food is quite expensive 800LKR for curry and rice 1000LKR for noodles. Staff were very friendly and helpful

We stayed here for 1 night to use as a base for visiting Sigiriya and the Dambulla caves. We had a non-A/C room towards the back and felt it was reasonably priced. The room was quite spacious for 2 persons and pretty clean. It was a little hot to sleep with the fan. The bathroom was good and in better... More

We did not stay at Saman's but had a delicious and interesting lunch at a very good price. The ingredients for that day were on display and the recipes explained to us. Very generous portions and lots of variety. We were there in early February 2013. I would go again.

We stayed at Saman's for 2 nights, it was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was modern with the first self contained shower we've had in Sri Lanka! Although the tap promised hot water, we didn't manage to get any out - this is probably what we'd expect for the price (2500LKR per night). The owner and staff were very... More

The staff is very welcoming, they even came to pick us at the bus station. Our room was clean and spacious, and very silent despite the fact that the house is close to the road. The back area is rather nice to have a beer or relax after a long and hot day of visit. And it's possible to eat... More

Our room was nice, the place has free wifi and also a restaurant. Staff was very helpful and kind. The restaurant only serves one type of food per meal (usually rice with curry), and when I tried to ask them for fish it didn't end well. They brought me and ugly beast of a fish which they probably simply boiled... More
