We had a very pleasant stay at Pidurangala Villas. The hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating. The dinner was exceptionally good, and our host was very attentive, even offering to drive us. He also arranged a safari for us, where we saw many elephants to our fullest satisfaction. The room was quiet, clean, and beautifully maintained. Additionally, the location is excellent, as both Pidurangala Rock and Lion’s Rock can be reached within a very short time.

Amila and his family gave us the warmest welcome on our arrival in Sri Lanka! Unfortunately for us it rained every day we were there but Amila sat us down and helped us make a plan. Amila and his knowledge and passion for Pidurangala and Sigiriya was coupled with his expert knowledge of Sri Lanka and its history set us up perfectly for the rest of our trip. His and his family’s kindness exceeded our expectations and the breakfast was excellent and filled us up for most of the day. We would have loved to have climbed Pidurangala Rock but unfortunately with the heavy rain it wasn’t to be. But Amila was up with us at the crack of dawn ready if we were! He even drove us to Kandy for an excellent rate and stopped at some sights along the way which broke up the journey. Thanks so much for an excellent trip and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a homestay near Sigiriya.

The family is very kind and helpful. We had a wonderful time with them. The rooms are very clean and tidy. The location is perfect for visiting both Pidurangala Rock and Lion Rock in Sigiriya. We also had a fantastic elephant safari tour arranged by them. They picked us up from the airport and dropped us off at our next stay. They can also provide tours, but we had different plans, so we did not go with them. The transport prices are very fair, and the owner’s son provided excellent explanations of the places we visited—he is also a guide. Finally, we had a fantastic stay in Sri Lanka with them. The rice and curry made by his mother was the tastiest meal we had in the entire country. Breakfast was also superb. Highly recommended place!

The family that owns this property is extraordinary, they behaved exemplary with us making us feel like family. They took us by TukTuk to Pidurangala Rock and also to Dambulla, and upon departure they helped us with a taxi to Pinawalla. Also during our stay in Sigirya they gave us an extraordinary surprise with a small cake to celebrate our first vacation outside the country after the wedding (honeymoon) that we ate with them. I recommend with the greatest love!

Very welcoming host, going more than an extra mile, to fully satisfy your needs. Even complimenting your trips with his own tuktuk. Optimal location in between pidurangala and sigiri mountain. Rooms were spotless and well equipped

Wi-Fi and data signal can be problematic during rainy days due to location, but I found it to be an overall problem in Sigiriya.

Hosts went above and beyond to provide a great stay. I arrived at 10pm after travelling the entire day and they still cooked me dinner given the time, great tasty breakfast and it changes daily. They took me to massage, drove me into town with no added cost and offered me a drive to the airport for a fair price. Overall, great stay in Sigiriya very close to both Pidurangala Rock and Lion's Rock.

It was surrounded by nature, the family was really nice, taking care of every detail. Also, we book a 3 days tour guide with them, and it was the best thing we could do ever😍✨He explain us everything, knowing a lot from the places we were visiting and showing us the culture from the inside! Thanks a lot for this experience!

Very well located. Super nice and gentle hosts. They recommended us an amazing place for dinner, “Rastarant”, only 5 min tuk tuk away (in Sigiriya).

Perfect accommodation! The family are very kind and attentive. We wanted to wake up early to go to Padarangala rocks before it got too crowded, and our host offered to take us there by tuk-tuk to avoid the danger of wild elephants. Thanks to her, we were able to have an amazing experience. Everything matches the photos, the bed is very comfortable, and the breakfast is good and plentiful. I highly recommend it!"

The WiFi was barely working.

Great breakfast and hospitality! The room was clean and comfortable. The room is a bit outside of the centre, but you can reach it easily by foot and you have the feeling that you are in the middle of the jungle with all the noises of the animals. The family also offers a Tuk Tuk service. Thanks a lot for the welcome drink!

Nothing to complain:)

Perfect location, amazing hosts. Excellent breakfast. Possibility to arrange tuktuk to Pindurangala for sunrise climb. We felt like visiting our relatives not just businesss:) Our youngest son spent all evening in owners rooms with their kids playing ball etc:). Felt welcome there:)

We had an amazing stay thanks to our lovely host and his super friendly family. Breakfast was very good and our host gave us a great tour to Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya, and Dambulla at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

So we didn't have hot water in the shower, and the coffee machine was non existent, and wifi and electricity broke out. But those things aren't really the reason i didn't give a 10. The owner kept trying to push us to pay him to drive us and was asking for very high prices but after we said no, trying to scare us that the bus is bad and blah blah (bus was great) is not how you behave to your guests. lanka has enough of that and it's annoying when your accomodiation which is where you rest from those things. I'm sure the kind owner didn't understand that's how we feel about that and in the future after this review it will be alright. That's why I'm giving 8 and not 6.

The room is clean and the family having us was lovely, good for the price and all and they were very kind.

You need a TukTuk to get to and back from Sigiriya. The host father drove us, but it is an additional price you should be aware of. The walk is only 20 mins, however it's not recommended at dawn or at night due to the wild elephants in the area.

The host family was super nice and the breakfast was delicious. The rooms are big and very clean. There were enough towels and the showers are good. It was a 20 min walk to the beginning of the hike up Pidurangala, which is totally worth it. It takes about 10 min to Sigiriya, where you can find restaurants and tourist shops (Souvenirs, wood carvings etc).

It is straight by the road and all the cars or tuk-tuks that drive by are basically driving in your room sound wise. Fan needs replacing or repair. Pillows where too stuffed for my taste.

Family who runs the place is very nice. Close to Pidurangala rock and Sigiriya. They offer tuk-tuk services. Dinner was expensive in Sri Lankan standards but also tasty.

Clean room with good bathroom, very calm. Owners are very sweet, took us to Pidurangala at 5am for the sunrise and also to Polonnaruwa for a reasonable price. Great breakfast
