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

Paikka kaipaa ehostusta

Allas oli leväinen. Puhdistusvälineet ui koko vierailun ajan altaassa. Ei tehnyt mieli uimaan. Huoneessa hyttysverkko oli asennettu niin, että tuuletinta ei voinut käyttää - verkko olisi mennyt solmuun lapojen ympärille. Kokonaisuus ihan ok. Vähemmän voisi henkilökunta "painostaa" asiakkaita. Hieman sellainen liika uteliaisuus ja tuputtaminen tuntui ikävältä.

The worst experience ever. Someone stole my earphones and money in the room. If you ask about the tour and do not go on, they get mad and try to do the tour.

Alojamiento cómodo y personal muy amable

Habitación grande con aire acondicionado, baño y balcón. El desayuno excelente y el personal muy servicial. Las instalaciones necesitan un poco de actualización en algunos sentidos, pero en general muy bien. La familia que lo regenta muy amable.

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 .

朝食がとてもおいしかった。スリランカでこれまで良い食事に出会えなかったんですが、ここの朝食が一番美味しく、元気が出ました。旅においしい食事は大事ですね。 スタッフは皆さんとても良く気持ちいい。 テレビがうまくつかないのと、施設の作りがどうしても蚊やカエルが多いので、苦手な人は注意ですかね？

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.

너무 편안하게 잘 쉬다 왔습니다. 2일 머무는 동안직원분들 사장님 다 친절하게 대해주셨고 아기자기하고 이쁜 호텔입니다. 호텔에서 보는 일몰이 너무 멋지구 조식때에도 현지 음식까지 챙겨주셔서 맛있게 먹었네요. 그리고 방이 많이 큽니다. 저는 혼자썼는데 너무 여유로웠네요. 제 일정중 첫번째였는데 저는 만족했습니다
