    This is the perfect place to stay for a simple, budget friendly but private option supporting a local family. Lovely, relaxed location out of the main town but close to Pidurangala rock. Room was clean and had a fan which was nice. The owner is the most wonderful, warm person always catering for your needs. She gave me free cake and offered water every time I went out. Delicious breakfast too.

    The place wasn't as quiet as I hoped. In the evening you hear the music from a nearby restaurant and the traffic from the road.

    Very friendly and welcoming family. The tree huts are big and comfortable.

    Could be nice to add mosquito net at the window because without difficult to refresh the room even if mosquito nets above the double beds (not above the single one). Poor light

    Very nice staff, quiet area, walking distance from the pidurangala rock/temple Good food I booked 2 rooms and ask them to make sure they were close to each other's due to presence of 3 young kids. We ended up with 2 connected rooms which was very nice

    it’s a bit far out from the rest of Sigirya so you’ll need 10-15mins in a TukTuk to access restaurants and shops.

    Very clean, spacious and comfortable room for an affordable price. The AC works perfectly as does the shower, 2 things that aren’t certain in many other rooms that i’ve stayed in. very kind, jolly and helpful family that provide you with a good breakfast. They also arrange TukTuks for you that arrive very quickly that charge a fair rate that is less than an Uber. Walking distance from Pidurangala Rock.

    Location was perfect close to Sigiriya Lion Rock and Pidurangala for sunrise walk. Host were fantastic. They picked us up from the airport in Colombo and drove us to Kandy via Dambulla Caves, Sri Lanka Centre Point and Herbal Gardens. Breakfast was sensational and only a short tuk tuk ride into town. Highly recommend.

    I had an amazing stay with Nandana and his family. He was a very attentive host, dropped me off at Lion Rock or the town centre whenever I needed free of charge. He also organised a great safari to Minneriya National Park and a tuktuk service to Dambulla for good prices. I could not reccomend this place more! He cooked for me at my arrival and served tasty breakfasts and dinners. The location is only a 15 minute walk to Pidurangala Rock and a short drive to Lion Rock. Staying in the treehouse was a super experience, even though the wifi rarely worked, it’s part of the experience to be fully immersed in nature (and a view of Lion Rock from the balcony!) It was lovely to come back after an excursion and enjoy the calm of his place. I was sad to leave so much I enjoyed my stay. Thank you Nandana for everything!

    Not for tourists who seek Western comfort. Note there will be insects and frogs but also safety nets around the beds and the tree house. The shower only works when there’s enough water in the tank, so sometimes you have to wait. Warm water might not work. Also remember you can say no to activities suggested to you.

    A special scenery to stay in. Felt like the middle of the jungle. The host is very nice, straight from on arrival and said hello with two lime drinks. He’ll definitely help you with organising multiple activities in the Sigiriya area. Very close to the Pidurangala Rock which is nice to climb on top for sunrise. The host’s wife cooks dinner if you request it. The food is really great.

    The host was extremely helpful. He recommended and helps arranged activities for us. He even offered to drive us for more than 5 hours to our next destination. Other than that, the place was clean and the meal there were cheap and delicious. And its only 15 minutes walk from here to the Pidurangala Rock. Definitely recommend everyone to stay here when coming to Sigiriya.

    This was one of the best trips in Sri Lanka! The host was the nicest of all hosts we met and he was so helpful and welcoming! He shows you great hidden places, offers tours for a good price and helps you out with all your needs! The tree house is very stable and absolutely worth the experience („in the jungle“) very close to Pidurangala Rock and about 8 minutes drive from Sirigiya Center! (What we saw is that there are some new cabins in the making) The breakfast is amazing and also the dinner was delicious! I would recommend this anytime and would definitely choose the same stay again if I come back!!
