Evergreen Hotel Dambulla
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Evergreen Hotel Dambulla is worth booking if you want a very cheap, top-rated, quiet base and are happy to let the hosts arrange tours and transport. If you want hotel facilities or a 5-star feel, our Luxury pick costs far more but delivers that.

This is our Budget pick in Dambulla. It suits travellers on a tight budget who want peace and quiet, nature around them and practical help getting around. Guests say a friendly family team runs the place and organises tours and transport.
Listed facilities are a restaurant, free parking, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a garden and a terrace.
Skip it if you expect a full hotel. It is a 1-star property. Skip it too if you dislike open showers. Guests like the spacious stone bathrooms, but the open shower design leaves the floor wet.
Location and getting around
The address given is Palwehera, Dambulla. The location score is 8.8 out of 10. Guests describe a quiet setting surrounded by nature and rice fields.
We do not have verified distances or walking times from this hotel to any sight, and the address is short. Before you book, find the property on a map and check how far it is from the places you want to visit.
A quiet rural setting usually means you will rely on transport. Guests say the hosts arrange tours and transport, so ask them about prices in advance. Free parking is listed if you are driving.
What guests say
The score is 8.9 out of 10 from 465 reviews. That placed it joint first of the 4 eligible properties in the provider sample, which is rare for a budget pick.
Guests praise two things: the quiet, green setting among rice fields, and the friendly family hosts who sort out tours and transport.
The one recurring complaint is the bathroom. Guests call it spacious with a modern stone design, but the open shower means wet floors.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price was €14.13 a night, about €28 for two nights. It is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.
The sample median was €75.55 a night, so this hotel came in about 81% below it. Our Best Value pick, White Land City Hotel, is a 2-star scoring 8.3 at €70.69 a night. Our Luxury pick, Sundaras Sigiriya Jungles Resort, is a 5-star scoring 8.8 at €80.41 a night.
Evergreen outscores both and costs a fraction of either. What you give up is star rating, and the facility list is short. Breakfast is listed as continental and Asian; check whether it is included in your rate.
Why it made our top 3
We compared only 4 hotels in Dambulla, a small sample. Evergreen had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale pick was set aside, and it also tied for the best guest score. That combination made it an easy Budget choice.
Before you book
Pin down the exact location on a map. Ask the hosts what tours and transfers cost. Check cancellation terms, which have not been assessed. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed either. If wet bathroom floors bother you, ask about the shower setup in your room.
