Jays Holiday Resort is a great place to stay while visiting Dambulla, Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa. The kids had great fun in the pool, tree house and play area. The service was excellent and the food delicious. We requested Sri Lankan breakfasts (which were not on the menu) and the staff happily arranged delicious string hoppers for us. Our room was... More

We stayed at Jays for 2 nights while we explored Dambulla and Sigiriya. Jay welcomed us on arrival and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food we had was great- breakfast was plentiful and the western dishes for dinner were really well done. They were cooked exactly as we requested, well presented and had the flavours right....

The staff is very nice, welcoming and helpful. It rained during most of our stay so we did not walk around much of the grounds or use the pool. The rooms and bathrooms are very basic but clean. Would stay here again, prices are reasonable. More

Stayed in this little lodge for 3 nights in December 2011. Really good location (although remotely situated away from the town) for visiting Anaradhapura, Sigiriya, Dambulla. Staff were wonderfully friendly and welcoming, and made us feel very at home. The surroundings are beautiful with lots of trees and an inviting pool. Down side, in our experience, was the room -...

We had two nights at Jays. Location is... Isolated, as anywhere would be in this part of Lanka. The staff were friendly - Jay greeted us by name as we stepped out of the car - and all the rooms are bungalows, and were quite nice with meagre (but hot) showers and a/c. Food (you have to eat here really)... More

I don't have any complaints really, i just think value for money this place does not compare to others in Sri lanka. It is expensive for what it is which is nothing exceptional. It is just average and also the food was just average. it was actually the worst food we had at a guesthouse but it was not bad... More

We stayed 3 nights in cabana room and enjoyed the swimming pool each day after sight seeing. The place was very quite for a busy time of the year, so the restaurant menu was limited and OK but not great. The breakfasts were good and they even made us string hoppers one morning. The birdlife was abundant and kept us... More
