We had such a wonderful stay at Yashi’s place. It was clean and comfortable. Harsha went out of his way to make our stay special and as comfortable as possible. His family was so lovely and friendly. We had a delicious dinner cooked by his wife and a scrumptious breakfast every morning. The location is perfect - a short tuktuk ride to all the main attractions (pidirungula rock and lions rock - which Harsha helped us arrange for reasonable prices) and the main strip of shops. We were delighted to catch the peacock on the roof! There are also lots of cute little squirrels on the property. An added bonus is Mr Caffeine just down the alley which has great coffee. Highly recommend staying at Yashi’s place.

Our family had the absolute pleasure of staying at Sigiri Arana in Sigiriya, and it’s safe to say we left with full hearts, happy stomachs, and unforgettable memories. From the moment we arrived, Sunanda, Samadi, and Randi made us feel like part of their family. Their warmth and hospitality turned their lovely home into a home away from home. The property itself is nestled in a peaceful, green location—comfortable, clean, and serene, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. We genuinely wished we had booked a longer stay. One of the highlights was the early morning hike up Sigiriya Rock. Despite the 5am start, it was already bustling with other sunrise seekers. Sunanda kindly offered to take us, sharing interesting stories along the way. The panoramic views from the top were stunning, and the local wildlife—monkeys and birds—were all too happy to mingle with the tourists! We also visited Pidurangala Rock, just a short walk away (definitely bring shoes with good grip). And our jeep safari with Sunanda in his own vehicle was a standout experience. It was an incredible day seeing elephants up close, spotting monkeys, peacocks, and a range of wildlife. The kids absolutely loved the ride, and the thoughtful touch of snacks and drinks made it all the more enjoyable. Every morning and evening, we were treated to delicious home-cooked meals by Samadi, who is truly a fantastic cook. The variety of curries was astounding—some of the best food we had throughout Sri Lanka. We looked forward to each meal on the porch, sipping a beer, watching the wildlife, and chatting with the family about the day’s adventures and plans for the next. Sunanda is deeply knowledgeable about the local area and wildlife, and he’s always eager to share this with his guests. His passion for nature and community really enriched our experience. We left feeling incredibly grateful—not just for the amazing memories, but for the seeds from their garden, which we’ll plant at home as a reminder

Environment: One of the highlights of this place is the serene environment. From the comfort of my room, I could always hear the melodious chirping of birds, which was incredibly soothing. The garden, situated under a majestic big tree, is beautifully maintained and adds to the tranquil ambiance. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing stroll or simply enjoying nature. Service: The service here is top-notch, primarily because it's a family-run business. Both hosts are extremely friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at home. Their warm hospitality made my stay even more enjoyable. Rooms: The rooms are impressively spacious, providing plenty of room to unwind. A unique feature is the private pool located right at your doorstep. Although it's quite small, around two feet deep, it offers a refreshing dip in complete privacy—ideal for a quick, relaxing moment.

Had a wonderful stay at this resort, the room was very comfortable and spacious. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and helped us organise stuff that we needed organising and were kind enough to let us check out late as we had an evening flight. A perfect location to explore the Lion rock-10 mins away and very easy to walk to local restaurants. We also had a big breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

The homestay is a short walk away from the center and also from the Lion's Rock. This makes it a quieter location, yet very accessible. The basic hut had everything required for a comfortable stay. The host and his family were incredibly welcoming. I was asked if I wanted to eat anything and ended up having my breakfasts and dinners at the accommodation restaurant. All foods were home-made by the family and more than plentiful! I enjoyed all activities offered by the hosts. I attended a Sri Lankan cooking workshop with the wife and daughter (several curries, pol sambol, and rice) and the host provided transport to the bus station and to the herbal gardens. He is knowledgable about available activities and happy to help plan your trip. The whole family was very welcoming and many my stay very comfortable, thank you!
