One of the best guesthouses in our whole Sri Lanka stay. Samanthi and her husband are very kind and welcoming. The room is huge and has a fan, good aircon and mosquito net. The bathroom is also a good size and has plenty of hot water with great pressure. Samanthi prepared big breakfasts that were different each day. She was very helpful with tips about our trips and her husband transported us in his tuk tuk for a very competitive price. He waited for us in the rain when we got off the bus from Pollonawaru to drive us back to the guesthouse. The guesthouse has a very happy family atmosphere and opposite the private balcony is a beautiful garden that the owners take great pride in. Highly recommend this accommodation for your stay in Sigiraya. ❤️

One of the best places we stayed at in Sri Lanka! - Room was very clean, big and spacious. - Drying rack as well as a table in the room. - Property is off the main road so we had slept great each night as it was quiet. The beds both had mosquito nets above them. - The A/C worked perfectly. - Shower had hot water with good pressure. - Shampoo, shower gel, hand soap and bath towels all provided. - Comfortable seating area with tables outside the room. - Breakfast was large, different and delicious each morning. Coffee, tea, sugar and creamer available at any time throughout the day. - Owners were nice and friendly and always made sure we had everything needed. We were greeted with a delicious lime drink when we first arrived as well as midday.

Samanthi is a great hostess. She cooked lovely Sri Lankan breakfast and was always helpful when we made any enquiries. She made sure there was hot tea when we returned in the afternoon. Highly recommend the location for it's go to the lion rock and local restaurants.

A few relevant pictures on the webpage. Please more pictures of the room on the main gallery.

A homestay with one room for travellers. (There is a second for drivers.) The facility is one year old (March 2025). Spacious neat room and new bathroom. A terrace with an outdoor lounge, with a lot of plants and decoration from local craft. The host Samanti has made much effort to make a cosy place of the homestay. Very quiet place - you hear only the sound of birds. Tea, coffee and drinking water the whole day. Extensive and delicious breakfast and dinner. The husband is also tuktukdriver. Both are very friendly, sincere and caring. They make the house to a little paradise in Sigiriya.

The hosts, the room, the gardens, the location, the value for money.

I had the best stay of my whole trip across Sri Lanka at the Moonlight. For a start, my hosts and their family were just very lovely, kind and helpful people. Add to that, there were beautiful gardens surrounding the house, with lots of bird life, and an overly comfortable room with a great air con, powerful pedestal fan, and hot water for the shower. The whole place was spotlessly keen and well maintained. I loved the location which was close to many restaurants, and the entrance to the 2 Rocks, although you may not want to eat anywhere else as the meals were delicious at the house. Breakfast was ample and set me up very well for the day. I'm raving, but truly, the Moonlight is just a fantastic place to stay and I can't recommend it enough. I hope to be back one day!

Absolutely nothing.

This stay is truly superb, and I say this on my fourth visit to Sri Lanka, each tome for over three weeks, and second to Sigiriya. Lovely hosts and family, shy cat and dogs. We got on really well. Location is absolutely tops. Close (40m) to 2nd rated TripAdvisor restaurant in Sigiriya and to entrance for foreignors to Lion Rock, as well as many other optios amd a grocery. The gorgeous garden is a true pleasure - enjoy from the tastefully decorated wide verandah which you don't really share with any other guests! Cleanliness cannot be faulted. Great spacious room and beatifully fitted with sockets everywhere. Excellent AC. Quality linen and towels, a rarity. Shower is hot and good water pressure. Bathroom spacious spotless and a pleasure. WiFi is fine. We were greeted with tea or coffee when we arrived much earlier than check in time. Breakfast was delicious, and dinner an option. Our hosts helped with a competitive quote for next transfer and could not be more helpful in anything we asked about. I am already recommending this place to other travellers.

Very nice place with lovely hosts

I think there was a spray used on the linens which was a bit too strong of a scent for us, but this could easily be improved and didn’t hinder our stay.

This place was incredible. From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed and comfortable. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous and due to the heavy rain when we visited we spent a lot of time drinking tea and sitting on the covered porch. The hosts were very attentive and available but not over bearing. They gave us tuk tuk rides at a good price to pidurangala rock and Sigiriya rock. The room was spotless and so comfortable. We’ve been in Sri Lanka now for 2 weeks and this was our favourite accommodation.

Amazing host, kind and a lovely family. Air-con room was spacious, very clean, and with comfy beds. Good size bathroom with hot shower. A well designed room with plugs strategically placed for convenience. Breakfast was really good, kids loved the coconut roll. Garden around the home is really beautiful. Convenient location, just a couple of minutes walk out to the Main Street with restaurants and cafes. Highly recommend booking at Sigiriya Moonlight Home. We would book again.

Nothing. Everything was perfect

Samanthi's homestay felt like a home from home. The room smelt lovely and fresh as soon as you entered. Huge double beds, very clean. Surroundings were amazing. Set in a residential area with neighbours going about their everyday jobs. We had our best night's sleep here. Breakfast was amazing and Samanthi made sure we had a different dish on each day. Great host, amazing room and we would definitely recommend to other people. Thanks Samanthi and family.
