Yashumi Homestay — Hotel in Sri Lanka

My lovely wife and I spent two nights at this lovely little homestay. It is handily located a short walk from the fabulous cave temples & the chintzy golden temple, a quick tuk tuk ride from the centre if town.||||Our room was quite small but was nonetheless very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The balcony provided a bit of extra space to relax and was particularly welcome as it was deliciously cool there in the evening. The room itself was quite hot but we had opted for fan only to save a little money. In hindsight it may have been better to spend a few more rupees in order to have some air conditioning.||||The young family who run the homestay are lovely. They picked us up from the bus station free of charge and provided delicious home cooked food. Breakfast was included in the rate of 2700 rupees per night but dinner cost an extra 800 per person. It's well worth the money though as you are treated to a feast of curry and rice. Each of the six veggie curries provided were delicious and plentiful. There was way more food than we could hope to eat. In fact, there was enough to make a sizeable packed lunch for the following day.||||In summary, if you're looking for great place to stay in Dambulla at a great price then look no further than the Yashumi Homestay.

Wonderful local experience. You’re welcomed by this always-smiling family, who are eager to help with any request. The room is cozy and comfortable. A highlight is the “grandfather” who takes you around in a tuk-tuk at a much better price than many others. I highly recommend going with them to Sigiriya and Pidurangala. Breakfast is excellent too, with local foods. The only downside for light sleepers is that outside sounds are quite noticeable.
