Friendly, accomodating and very surprising

We came to stay just for the bed. The staff were amazing and generous. Very accommodating. They organised tuktuk for Sigiriya Rock and Cave Temple and were willing to help in every possible way. Good food recommendations. Sadly we didn't get time for the pool which looked so inviting

Nice family style hotel

The place is very nice, friendly and staff are very helpful. My room have AC/Balconey and there is a large swimming pool. Sri Lankan breakfast very tasty. Only problem is a bit out of the way however they do have bicycle you can use. Overall, I am happy and feel safe at Freedom Village Hotel I would stay there again if I were to come back to Dambulla .

Loved our stay at this Hotel.

We loved this hotel! Set off the main road in Dambulla,it is a little oasis. Quiet, comfortable and the staff were amazing. The breakfast was excellent, freshly prepared daily. There are a bunch of resorts up the road that cater to tour groups and you are stuck in the middle of nowhere. Here you are a short 5 min walk to the main street and markets, restaurants etc. This place is a hidden gem.

The room and shower are very basic but it was we needed for an overnight stay. The staff are extremely helpful and try and make your stay as comfortable as possible. The breakfast was amazing especially with the views. The only thing is the room is right next to the restaurant and you can hear other guests and workers so it can be a bit loud.

One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at!

Me and my family did a tour of Sri Lanka staying at 7 hotels over the 18 days. This was for me, the best hotel out of all of them. From the first moment we arrived, we were mesmerised by the layout of the complex. It looks amazing and very posh from the first impression! The young men working for the hotel were all wearing traditional Sri Lankan uniforms. They were all very polite, professional and clearly knew about hospitality. We were travelling with a private driver and they provided accommodation as well as breakfast to him free of charge! We were welcomed with freshly made passion fruit juices (which were delicious!). The rooms were unbelievable- had AC, mosquito nets/repellent plugs, refridgerator, iron etc. The bathroom was also incredible. Very clean and professional. Felt like it was a 4-5 star standard easily! The food was definitely one of the highlights for me. It was a traditional Singhalese Sri Lankan menu with lentils, sambar, appam and the most amazing Sri Lankan pancakes I've ever tasted in my life. I literally asked the waiter to tell them how amazing it was. The aunty came out and was beaming with joy- showing us the recipe and what goes into making it. The overall hospitality of everyone at Hotel Freedom Village made it feel so homely. The owner even showed us around the grounds the next morning, letting us taste the fresh honey, mangoes from the trees etc. We were sad to leave. This hotel is highly recommended for anyone staying in Dambulla!
The most amazing Sri Lankan pancake.

Dambulla's best

Excellent accommodation both spacious and comfortable and spotlessly clean. Service was friendly and super efficient. best place in town for food which was both varied and of good quality at a very reasonable price. Hotel provides transport to and from Sigarya. We went with 5 other staying at the hotel and including an extension on to the caves cost 1000 rupees each.

This property is a bit far out if you haven’t got a driver. In our case it was no problem as we had a driver but may be harder to get vehicle hire if not arranged before

A great place to stay in the Cultural Triangle!

Fantastic service!! They arranged drivers to take me to all the sights I wanted to see in the Cultural Triangle, and at the end of my stay drove me to the bus stop free of charge and made sure I got on the right bus to Kandy. The room was clean and spacious, with a couch to sit on and a balcony with a great view. Pool was very big and clean with a beautiful view and plenty of loungers to relax on and read a book. The dining area was also lovely - the buffet breakfast was great and changed daily (and they organised a packed breakfast for me when I wanted to get to Sirigiya early). There was also a la carte dinner available every evening. Its just a short walk to the main street if you need to get something, but far enough away from the traffic to feel very relaxed. A great place to stay in the Cultural Triangle!

Nice hotel overall.

The hotel is newer and in good condition overall. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel had a great pool area and wasn’t too long a walk to Dambulla. However, Dambulla seemed a bit run down. Not our favorite of places we have visited thus far in Sri Lanka. Hotel food was decent and would just recommend sticking around the hotel after touring Sigiriya, the Dambulla Caves, or anywhere else you travel during your stay.

Nice hotel in a quite area

The staff was welcoming and friendly. The rooms are spacious and there is an outdoor pool where you can relax after a long day. The first dinner was a bit disappointing, we have ordered sri lankan meal for three people and what we got was much less than expected and in comparisson to other restaurants. The sauces were enough for one or at the most for two portion, but definatelly not enough for three. So basically we paid for plain boiled rice.That was the main reason to skip the next dinner there and to go at other restaurant. Anyway the breakfast was good. It happened that our last dinner also was at this restaurant, because we were tired after a long day exploring the Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle. This time we ordered different meals and the portions were big enough and very delicious. So overall we were happy with our stay there.
