    Army of sand and light thrives, effigy of speechless solitude And her gaze that holds it all follows you up to your tent Damp light veils the room, fire dyes the blond to brown trunks are joining to the sounds that were sung by the man in the poppy field Fair you are, for all your life Keturah to the Abraham Fair you are, for all your life Keturah to the Abraham And your king does have you guided you already know to where when 2000 elephants are passing through your circle of blood

    The bathroom is down, so not in the threehouse, this wasn’t an issue for me, as the showers and toilet were very clean

    Very good location and the three house is very nice. Chill garden to hang out and the breakfast was amazing. We rented the scooter of the owner for two days which gave us the chance to explore Sigirya. One day the owner showed us around, which was truly amazing!

    Costa was one of the best hosts ever! A rustic tucked away little space in Sigiriya. Costa took us to some amazing hidden spots and helped us through booking a scooty and getting everything sorted. Loved our stay here. Super cheap laundry too!

    A great host that makes your stay in Sigiriya fun

    Not the fanciest place and a little bit away from the center, but you can manage with the scooter.

    The host Kostha is a great guy. He is super friendly and is always proposing plans and helping with what to do around the area. He also offers to rent one of his scooters or even takes you to different places. He usually cooks dinner and shares it with the guests. Having hosts like him makes the experience of staying in the place much better.

    Kostha and Isuru are incredibly good hosts. They showed me around the neighbourhood as soon as I arrived. After swimming in the lake, they took us to a secret viewpoint from where you could see Lion Rock and Pisurangala. The next day they got up extra early to show us the sunrise, which was extremely worthwhile. After that, they showed us the whole day and I saw places that I would never have seen otherwise. It was a great stay that I will never forget!

    The location was great, relaxed vibes right next to the jungle. The host goes above and beyond to provide an all around great experience to his guests. He organised activities and joined us for a safari, sunsets and the sunrise from Piturangala. We would definitely come back. Thanks Kostha!
