Wonderful
Pawana Rest is an oasis of tranquility, perfect for chilling and unwinding after a long trip or after a day of exploring the many attractions around Dambulla.
This small but charming homestay is very well managed and the whole family works as a perfect team making sure that guests’ needs and requests are promptly met.
Our room was spotless, big enough, with a very comfortable bed and a basic but modern and functional bathroom.
The food – traditional Sri Lankan one, adapted to our spice tolerance level - cooked by Nuwan (currently training to become a chef) and his mother was hands down the best (quality and presentation) we had during our 1 month tour of Sri Lanka.
This family’s wonderful hospitality will make your stay in the Sri Lankan countryside a bliss.
Highly recommend.

Beautiful room and very accommodating host. Great meals.
No air conditioning. This was clearly listed when we booked, but we assumed it would be cooler in Dambulla than was (it's NOT in the hill country). We did have a big quiet fan, and it does cool off at night, so sleeping was OK.

This is a very simple family homestay and is a delight to stay in. It's incredibly clean and quiet and the family that run it are absolutely lovely! It's very handy for the caves at Dambulla or visiting Sigirya or Pidurangala. The family will arrange transport for you. We had such a nice time and had a wonderful afternoon having Sri Lankan cookery lessons with our hosts. I highly recommend the cooking lessons, we learnt so much and got to eat it all afterwards!

The hotel is run by a wonderful family. The hospitality, service, cleanliness, breakfast are to the highest standards. I am deeply impressed when the owner has traveled back and forth 100 kms to get my medicines that I forgot in a restaurant on the way to Pawana Rest. The son has organized almost everything that we require in the city. The mother has cooked delicious food for us. I highly recommend the hotel to any traveller. Thank you for everything.

Very nice Family always there if you need help with anything. Good srilankan breakfast.
School is right next to the house so it’s pretty loud early in the morning.

This place was such a lovely and special guest house. The family running couldn’t be more helpful and accommodating... breakfast each morning was something Sri lanken, all home made, we even had some mango from the trees! The rooms are quite basic but there’s a fan and everything you really need so very good value for money. It’s also in a great location and easy to get to and from site seeing via tuk tuks. ( We recommend getting to a cricket match if there’s one on during your visit. )
