    Don’t let the unfinished facade discourage you. It really is a diamond in the rough with the most wonderful staff who will make you feel so welcome. The staff are the heartbeat of the property.

    Staff were ever willing to go above and beyond to assist our comfort at all times. Exceptional Sri Lankan food, not overly spicy and very flavourful.

    Location was a little further out of town than we expected due to an issue with location on booking.com. But we hired a moped from the hotel which was perfect for going out to town for dinner etc.

    Lovely bed, aircon worked great. Balcony with great view. Clean bathroom with proper toilet! Staff are very kind and welcoming. Breakfast included in price which was great!

    PLEASE BE AWARE: the hotel is still under massive renovation (jan 2024). Once finished our review might be outdated. As of now: There was no wifi. Our room still had wires coming through the walls, switches not working and bulbs not existing. No mosquito net, which meant we got bitten lots. You can’t use the pool loungers and the pool area is not really inviting as also still under renovation. Photos do not show this accurately. What was quite funny was the fact that the bathroom wall incl toilet is completely see-through which means you can watch your partner go to the toilet while lying in bed. :D Not what you expect for the money we paid (this was meant to be a treat). The roads are bad, tuk tuks can barely get there. Location is far from everything.

    The lady who hosted us was amazing, and her home made cooking was really good. She made this average experience a good one. We can see the potential and beauty of the hotel once fully developed. The bed was great. The view from the pool is nice.

    ⭐☆☆☆☆ Our stay at Wild Fortress in Sigiriya was hands down the worst experience we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, things were a disaster. The first red flag came immediately when we were asked to pay the full amount in cash within two minutes of entering the property, without being given time to even inspect the rooms. The rooms themselves were a complete mess, but the bathrooms were an absolute nightmare. None of the bathroom doors in any of the rooms we were shown worked properly. Some doors were broken and had no knobs, while others didn’t even fit the frame—imagine a bigger door and a smaller opening, so you couldn’t close it at all! Forget about locks; you couldn’t even push the doors to stay shut. The lack of privacy was shocking, and it made the stay unbelievably uncomfortable. When we raised these issues, the staff casually told us, “This is how it is,” and made no effort to resolve anything. They showed us multiple rooms, and all of them had the same problem. It felt like a bad joke. Adding to the horror, the toilets were filthy and infested with frogs. Every time you sat down, you had to worry about a frog jumping out of the commode. It was disgusting, terrifying, and completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the rooms had no basic facilities—no TV, no food, and the air conditioning didn’t work, leaving us to sweat through the night. The staff showed no concern or accountability, and when we complained, they simply shrugged and refused to adjust the price, claiming that part of the money goes to Booking.com. This place is not just poorly maintained; it’s downright unlivable. The bathrooms alone make this property a complete disaster, and the lack of care and professionalism from the staff only made it worse. If you value your money, comfort, and sanity, stay as far away as possible from Wild Fortress. This was truly the stay from hell, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. 0/100 would recommend.

    Cleanliness has to improve. That was a major let down.The room we were given wasn't clean and there were too many mosquitos. There was no television and there was nothing Deluxe about the room. The bathroom was unclean with a used tissue roll and a small bar of soap. All the taps were leaking and there was no proper water pressure in any of the shower heads or tap. There was no bin in the washroom or a place to hang your towel. The bed had not been dusted and the floor was very sticky and dusty beneath our feet. We were not given the breakfast menu and our choices were not considered. We were given milk rice which is not something we liked especially with salmon. But the staff was very accommodating and quickly provided us with toasted bread, butter jam and fried eggs. The hotel pool was filthy and definitely wasn't inviting to a visitor. The hotel staff took cash in payment and didn't give us a receipt. There are no credit card payment facilities at the hotel.

    The location of the hotel was fine. The view was beautiful but the positive aspect of my stay at the hotel stops from there. And the staff were friendly and accommodating.

    The Wi-Fi wasn’t working well. But it was a good time to switch off. Towels and sheets were clean, but stained

    I was a little apprehensive about booking here, as it didn’t have the best reviews. But let me tell you they were wrong. Upon arrival we were greeted with the kindest customer service and hospitality we have ever received, the room was stunning and spacious right by the pool, the family were so kind. Yes they have renovations happening, but our room was finished, the pool was clean and loungers very relaxing. They organised a safari for us, which I can also recommend. The location is more rural, but we had a tuktuk so wasn’t a problem. BEST FOOD EVER!!! This place will be amazing when completed, and we are lucky to have experienced it at such a good price.

    Everything was perfect.

    It was a lovely accommodation, it is in an hidden area but that made the place and view incredible. A quiet, relaxing environment in the middle of nature. The staff is so kind and friendly. They did everything to make your stay special. For dinner and breakfast they served us typical food from Sri Lanka, the best you will have!

    The hotel is not finished yet, no wifi and hot water in our room. But we got wifi from the staff and could shower in another room. Also it's quite out of town, but we could rent a scooter so we were flexible to go around.

    We had a really good time in this hotel. The staff was awesome, friendly and helpful. The food was the best in whole Sri Lanka, soooo delicious! Thank you so much for everything!
