“Really loved our stay here. In a beautiful relaxed location and Ruwan was so lovely and helpful!”

We definitely recommend this accommodation. Ruwan and his family are wonderful people. He gave us a warm welcome, showed us around the property including the ingredients grown there, and we had a really nice talk with him. He treated us with great hospitality and cooked us a delicious dinner and breakfast. In the end, he even drove us to the bus. Thank you, Ruwan!

“Exceptional stay in peaceful idyllic place”

Ridge Boundary View exceeds my expectations! This place is wonderful, surrounded by rice fields, sounds of nature and breathtaking view from the balcony. You can really relax here. My room was spacious, with AC, very good wifi, quality mattress and pillow. Bathroom well-designed, very clean, no worms or frogs, heated water. However the most important is hospitality. I really leave this place as a friend, not guest only. Family served very delicious Sri lankan breakfasts and dinners. Ruwan always has been there to help with anything - local buses, organizing safari in affordable price. I extended my stay by 1 day and it’s hard to leave this amazing place and people. Must to visit!

Our host Ruwan was awesome. Took us on a stroll round his farm pointing out various fruit and Veggies and spices. Beautiful view of Knuckle ranges. Great breakfast and dinner. Room was spacious, clean great view of sunrise without leaving the bed! Local knowledge on what to visit next! Thanks Ruwan

“Authentic and peaceful homestay with amazing host!”

Staying at this homestay was easily one of the highlights of my time in Sri Lanka. If you’re looking for a genuine cultural experience rather than just a place to sleep, this is exactly where you want to be. The host, Ruwan, is what truly makes this place special. He is incredibly kind, open, and genuinely interested in connecting with his guests. He shares fascinating stories about Sri Lankan culture and daily life, giving you insights you simply wouldn’t get anywhere else. His English is excellent, so conversations flow easily, and you can ask him anything. He’s one of those rare people who makes you feel immediately comfortable while also being deeply interesting to talk to. The property itself is beautiful and very well maintained. Everything feels new and clean. The view over the surrounding rice fields is stunning—peaceful, green, and completely calming. Knowing that all of this land belongs to Ruwan adds another layer to the experience, especially when he explains what is being grown around you. One of the standout aspects is the food. Both breakfast and dinner are prepared using ingredients straight from his own garden. You’re not just eating—you’re learning. Ruwan explains what you’re having, where it comes from, and how it fits into local cuisine. The dishes are authentic, fresh, and incredibly tasty. It feels like a true farm-to-table experience, but in a very personal and homely setting. I would highly recommend this homestay to anyone who wants a real, immersive experience of Sri Lankan culture while still enjoying comfort and quality. It’s also a great base if you want to explore the area, but honestly, just spending time here is already worth it.

Top notch, just for the room window view, it's fantastic, you get to see the sunrise in the fields from your bed, i mean, what else do you need ? A good bed, a great dinner, a great breakfast, and the hosts were so nice. I'll definetely come back!

“Just wow!”

Ruwan is the friendliest, most helpful and interested host we have met during our entire trip. Took great care of our 8-month old baby. Truly unbelievable hospitality. The room was better than we had hoped; the giant east-facing glass wall permits awesome sun rise viewing from your bed. Thank you thank you!

“It’s a great place to stay, wonderful view of the rice field. Great hospitality from the owner Ruwan. We will recommend”

We had a lovely time with our very welcoming and accommodating host. He gave us a wonderful tour of the area and his incredible gardens. The view was fantastic, there was an abundance of bird life and the meals (dinner and breakfast) were fresh and flavourful. The room was clean and comfortable.

“Hidden gem with an amazing host”

Ruwan was an amazing host! He went above and beyond to make our stay perfect! Whether it was picking us up from the bus station, helping us to organise our day trips or cooking amazing breakfast or dinner with veggies from the own garden, he was always there for us, but also knew when to give us time for ourselves. The property itself is amazing, you have the best view over the rice fields and can watch the birds all day long from the balcony. Also Ruwan gave us tipps for some secret spots around the village which were super nice! The location is also a lot more central than we first thought, as it’s directly on the route between Kandy and Dambulla, so you can reach the surrounding sights quicker than when staying in Sigiriya. We even stayed one night longer than planned as we liked it so much. Thanks again for everything, Ruwan!!!

Ruwan is the best host we had during our holiday in Sri Lanka. His family are really good cooks, everyday you eat something different and delicious. He learned us a lot about Sri Lanka and the people and is always happy to help you plan for the best activities around his area. He has the best tips! The rooms are clean, the bed is nice and you have an amazing view over the ricefields. When you wake up you can enjoy that beautiful view from your bed. Its a very nice and quiet area to walk around and enjoy the nature. I would recommend his stay to everyone! It was perfect. Thank you so much Ruwan and we will miss you! Bohoma sthuthi

In one word, amazing! After we made the booking the owner immediately reached out to us to give us advice and practical information. He arranged transportation from the airport to his house. When he arrived he was waiting for us. The room is comfortable and the view stunning! He prepared us twice a delicious Sri Lankese diner and the breakfast on the balcony was amazing too. The quiet, the nature, the view and the hospitality, it was all a big 10 out of 10! If we visit Sri Lanka in the future we will definitely stay again at Ridge Boundary View.

“Amazing location and host recommended”

Beautiful experience, the host is super amazing and took care of any need

“Great stay on the countryside! Ruwan Took care of me when being sick which was so nice of him. A calm place, just what I”

Beautiful view

“Food, nature and new friends”

Staying at Ruwan and his family’s homestay south of Dambulla was wonderful. We felt so warmly welcomed from the start, like being invited into their home. The room was spacious, clean and tastefully designed without being cluttered (also appreciate the thoughtful storage racks and space for our stuff!). Waking up to sunrise over the mountains with birds chirping was magic. We loved being surrounded by nature - morning walks spotting monkeys, fruit trees and birds right outside - yet it was only a short ride into the city and nearby sites. It's a great base for exploring key attractions. Breakfast and dinner (optional) were excellent every day, made with produce from their own farm, so we really got local cuisine. We booked 3 nights but ended up staying 8, because we simply didn’t want to leave. 11 out of 10 stars for Ruwan and family - we couldn’t recommend their homestay more!

“Truly peaceful and beautiful stay in Sri Lanka”

The stunning view, the peaceful location and kind host. We had an amazing dinner and the next morning the host took us on a tour through the property and explained about living, plants, harvest at the country site. One of the highlights of our month in Sri Lanka. Our teenagers loved it and wanted to stay longer, so hopefully we will come back some day!

The position, the view from my room and the host, very helpful and knowledgeable.

“It’s a quiet humble restful sanctually located out of town on a lovely farm growing rice fruit and all manor of vegetabl”

The location and view as well as our kind and helpful host Ruwan

A beautiful stay! Couldn’t recommend enough. Ruwan was an amazing host and we loved visiting his property and learning about all the plants he grows! We had two amazing dinners (catering to vegetarian), and the room was really clean with a beautiful view. Close enough to take a trip to sigiriya and Ruwan helped us organise a driver. Wish we could have stayed longer!

“My partner and I spent 4 nights in Ridge Boundary View and enjoyed it a lot! We learned a lot about Sri Lanka and its cu”

The place is close enough from Dambulla, Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa, while beeing in the middle of beautiful and calm rural area, which makes it a perfect place to be while exploring the cultural triangle of Sri Lanka! The room is equipped with a good AC system, and a moskito net. You have a beautiful view from the terrace, from which you can see a lot of birds! Moreover, Ruwan is a perfect host, he is very friendly, speaks very good English and has a lot to share! He provided us with delicious and affordable sri lankan food and will make your life easy and unforgettable while staying in his place!
