Nothing, everything was perfect!

Even before we arrived in Sri Lanka, Golden Stars Hotel Dambulla provided exceptional service, helping us coordinate our travel experiences and trips. They arranged our car and transportation from the airport, organised a tour guide to take us to all our different sites, and even arranged our entry tickets and local guides, making everything completely stress free from the start. We stayed in the family house, which was incredibly clean, very spacious, and had extremely comfortable beds. The air conditioning was excellent, and the whole property felt new and freshly renovated. This is easily one of the best hotels we have stayed at in Sri Lanka and without a doubt, it has the best hosts we have ever experienced anywhere. Their kindness and support went far beyond what anyone could expect from a hotel. During our trip, my daughter fell ill while we were away from the property. The hotel immediately contacted us to check if we were okay, arranged for the local medical centre to receive us, and had a doctor waiting upon our arrival. They even brought us lunch while we were at the hospital. They offered to cover our medical and hospital bills, which we of course insisted on paying ourselves. Because of the illness, we had to completely rearrange our itinerary, and the hotel stepped in to help reorganise everything seamlessly. Particular thanks to Nuwanthi, Bandara, Pasindu, who were always available, attentive, and supportive. Pasindu even accompanied us on a trip, took us to the hospital, and stayed with us until we got home to ensure we were well looked after. This level of care, compassion, and dedication is exceptionally rare. The whole team treated us not just as guests, but like family. We left feeling deeply grateful for their hospitality. This level of care and kindness is rare. We are truly grateful to the team and would recommend Golden Stars Hotel Dambulla to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

All good.

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Very comfortable beds, air conditioning with dehumidifier mode, and a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. The breakfast is big, very tasty, and typically Sri Lankan, with options to customize. The staff is lovely.

Nothing negative to say.

Golden stars staff were incredibly accommodating with every need. We arrived very early and they gave us somewhere to wait while the room was being cleaned. The hotel is close to small stores and restaurants and 10 minute walk to the Dambulla Cave and Temple entrance. It’s really easy to arrange taxi and safari and Bandara from the hotel helped arrange for us. Recommend get elephant safari with Krishanta who was very good and friendly. The food was delicious and catered to our needs including changing the breakfast and preparing dinner when we asked. The room was large, very clean and had A/C that worked.

5/5 Stars - Exceptional Hospitality at Golden Star Hotel Dambulla!* I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Golden Star Hotel in Dambulla, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! The hotel's staff, particularly Thakshila, were the epitome of hospitality. Her warm smile and professionalism were truly unbelievable. As a relatively new property, the hotel looks exactly like the photos - modern, clean, and well-maintained. Its convenient location provides easy access to the road and nearby attractions. What impressed me most, however, was the exceptional care shown to guests. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort, even taking the initiative to clean my bike before I departed! If you're looking for a genuine Sri Lankan hospitality experience in Dambulla, look no further than the Golden Star Hotel. Be sure to meet Thakshila, the backbone of the property, and experience her remarkable hospitality for yourself! *Highly Recommended!*

Breakfast was not included but we had 2 delicious home cooked dinners - prepared specially for us. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the owner even gave us a lift into town when we couldn't get a tuk tuk. The location is excellent. On a quiet road but still very close to the cave temple and only a short drive to the centre of town. The room was lovely. Spotless and beautifully decorated and the bed was very comfortable. There was also a washing machine and dryer available for which we were very grateful! There is a little gallery of local woodcarvings in the foyer and across the road a bakery and a juice bar! What more could we have asked for? A huge thanks to everyone at Golden Stars for a truly memorable stay!
