    Warm and welcoming family! This location is surrounded by nature and is perfect for unwinding and recharging after climbing Pidurangala or Lion Rock. The refreshing swimming pool is just what you need to relax. A lovely breakfast is also offered! 😃

    Definitely worth choosing. There is everything you need, plus a pool and amazing staff that will help you with whatever you may need or want. Room is very basic, but you shouldn't be in Sigiriya to spend a lot of time there anyways :)

    We had an amazing stay here. Lal and his family are very kind, welcoming and helpful. The place is perfectly located, all the restaurants are within walking distance and most highlights are only a few minutes away by tuktuk. The breakfast and dinners they provided were delicious. Sweet swimming pool to relax in after some early morning hikes. Lal organized everything we asked for. Among other things: early morning tuktuk rides, transport to Kandy, and a last-minute safari to spot lots of wild elephants, big thanks to our driver/guide as well. Would most definitely stay here again!

    This is a very nice and clean hotel, run by a warm and welcoming family. After climbing Lion Rock, the refreshing swimming pool is the perfect place to relax. You can tell that the owner is passionate about the hotel and eager to invest in its future.

    Our blanket was just a piece of fabric and the mosquito netting had holes in it.

    It was fairly close to the main street and restaurants, the people were nice and helpful, and the food was great.

    The place is really quiet and clean. The host family is super nice and helpful. They have a Tuc Tuc which is available at any time and will drive you where you want. The breakfast was delicious and the optional dinner was even better. It is only 2 minutes Tuc Tuc ride to the next few shops and bars. Would go there again any time.

    - you just need to be aware that the accomodation is not in town centre which has advantages and disadvantages

    - calm location, not next to main road - many good restaurants nearby - good Tuktuk service from host

    Excellente stay in Sigiriya. Located next to the river, close to main road and Lion’s Rock itself. Room was very clear, the bathroom also with hot water shower. The bed was with mosquito nest, but really didn’t need to use it. And the most important - the hosts. It was really nice experience to stay at their place. They gave us a pick up by tuktuk from the restaurant with our luggage, helped with scooter rental, made breakfast any time we wanted, helped with every single question we had. Highly recommended!
