The owner was so nice, always checking on us that everything was going smoothly. The possibility to sit outside our room and breathe in the peace and quiet of nature, the chirping of the birds... we enjoyed every bit of it. We defenitely recommend the Sigiri Lion Lodge!

Great place in great location run by great people. Harsha and his family are amazing, very kind people, always trying to help. The room is brand new and everything is well maintained. Really clean. The food might be the best we have had during our stay in Sri Lanka, specially the dinner.

The owner picked us up at the bus stop and welcomed us with a fresh drink. We were happy to stay at this villa. The room has everything you need, the ac, the fan and it was very clean. It is located a bit far from the center but we liked it even more, because it was super calm. The owner also dropped us at the temple entrance and picked us up from there on his tuktuk all at the price of pick me app. Then the other day he drove us to sigiriya and even packed us a breakfast to go (tip: put it in your backpack), showed us other places on the way back and then helped us arrange a jeep trip to the national park with the elephants. The breakfast and dinner we had there were delicious. The staff is extremely polite and friendly!

The Homestay is great place to stay in sigiriya, family owning is lovely. Nice room with ac and a big bathroom. Lakshita was so helpful in organising and dropping us at various amazing places such as Sigiriya rock, Village tour and many more. The son followed me to pidurangala rock early in the morning for sunrise so I wouldnt have to go alone. Very nice place! We can highly recommend this Homestay.

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 :)

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.

Great place to stay. Friendly owner, who takes care of all his guests, ensuring they enjoy the stay in his guest house and Sri Lanka. And helping to plan the visit for those who haven't yet specified their plans Place is close to the city centre but in quiet area with no traffic noise. Restaurant with delicious food available (best roti I have ever eat). Tuk tuk and taxi service available. I would recommend it for everyone who plans to visit Dambulla.
