Sun Shine Villa was a great spot for us to stay in Sigiriya. Dinesh and his family are very accommodating, and help make your stay memorable. Great location, couple minutes tuk tuk to town and main attractions.

The staff was amazing. Always available to make our stay better. They arrange tuk tuk, safari and transport to our next destination. We met the owner, lovely and so attentive. The cabin was very cute and clean. We had a terrace with couple of chairs to chill. Also have hammocks. On top of the cabin there is the tree house where the staff organised breakfast for us. The tree house has increíble views. Peaceful place. Full of trees, cero noise except for the birds. We spent hours and hours just chilling and relaxing. Everything was so easy. This was really the highlight of our trip, nothing have been as good as this place. The staff are there to really make your life easier so you just spend the time enjoying. A heavenly tropical escape. Thank you so much. We will miss this place.

The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The patties were some of the best I’ve ever had. They also served bananas grown on their own farm, called "Naga bananas." I was surprised by their rich, sticky texture. Whenever I asked for help with things I wanted to do or places I wanted to visit, they immediately made arrangements. They were incredibly reliable and helpful. Also, their child was so cute—it was very heartwarming.

Everything was great, very clean large room with good furniture, hot water in the bathroom, everything is new and modern, thought out to the smallest detail, stylish and there are interesting design solutions. The staff and host are extremely friendly and helpful, they help if needed. In addition, I really liked the location - very close to the main street, but very quiet and peaceful. Around is nature and you can see birds and mongooses. In addition, the breakfast was great, you can also order dinner if you wish.

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.

The room itself was absolutely gorgeous, there is nothing I would change. The area around it makes it all worthwhile. Don't go looking for food in Sigiriya, they will cook you dinner that is unforgettable. Best food I have had so far. We asked him to surprise us instead of us choosing and it was the best decision ever. If I ever do come back, I will not think twice about booking here again, even if it's for the food itself. If you walk down towards the main road of Sigiriya, you will find a little stand with handmade wooden statues for a great price. Cheapest we've found so far!

Very nice operator of this homestay. Jeep tour to the elephants was very impressive. The elephant families were 5 to 10 meters away from the jeep.... Without being disturbed. He also had a few other good ideas about what to do in the area. Breakfast very good and plenty. Absolute recommendation

Excellent staying experience!! The accomodation is quiet, close to the main bus station. The host is helpful and asked his friends to take us to another bus station on the main street twice. The hostess prepare the woderful food.The breakfast is plentiful and delicious. We couldn't finish them and didn't want to waste food. The host helped us to take them away.:) To hosts: Thank you very much and hope to have the opportunity to come back to Dambulla!!! PS, the host a bit looks like Jason Momoa :)

Two seperate ensuite bedrooms separate from their house on a quiet street. Our host was extremely hospitable and was beyond helpful. It’s a street behind a busy street so very little noise. Super cold ac, very clean rooms. Please stay to support this lovely family.

Great location and facilities, really friendly host, cute garden, yummy Sri Lankan breakfast included, room with A/C and mosquito net, quiet surrounding (only 2 rooms). I highly recommend this place. Thanks also to Manju, friend of the family, that took me everywhere in tuk tuk for a fair price :)

Stunning views all around, friendly staff, great pool, Shana was a great host. The location was perfect for climbing Sigiriya, but was not so central that you you missed out on spending time in nature. It was great for a weekend away from Colombo seeking peace and quiet.

The property is 5-6 min walk from Cargill supermarket and 8-10 min from the city center. Perfect for a quiet stay. The premises are maintained clean. Host is very helpful, he can get you a tuk-tuk to anywhere, arrange safari or Sigiria trips or any other activities.
