We stayed only one night, but it left great impression on us. The location is great - walking distance from Lion rock. Accommodation is very comfortable and clean. Garden is amazing! Breakfast was also very delicious. The owners of the hotel are friendly and always willing to help and give advice.

We had a wonderful stay at this unique accommodation right in the middle of the jungle! With rooftop viewpoints, a tranquil pool, and outstanding service, this place truly offers a special experience. Even though it's located a bit off the beaten path, the atmosphere more than makes up for it—you might not want to leave at all. The included breakfast was so generous it practically lasted us all day. In the evening, there was a great selection of local and Western dishes made with high-quality ingredients (though portions were on the smaller side). The peaceful pool area was perfect for unwinding, and the staff really took Sri Lankan hospitality to the next level. Occasional evening power fluctuations were handled smoothly with a temporary diesel generator, but it switched off well before bedtime, leaving only the soothing jungle sounds. For mobile work, this place may not be ideal—the Wi-Fi relies on a mobile connection, which wasn't strong enough for demanding online tasks. But for a relaxing holiday segment in Sri Lanka, this place gets our full recommendation! We arrived by public bus from Kandy, changing at Dambulla, and then took a Tuk Tuk from the Sigiriya bus stop to the accommodation for 1000 rupees. During our stay, we rented a scooter in Sigiriya, while other guests used rental Tuk Tuks to get around.

Beautiful property, felt comfortable and homely. The hosts were amazing and helped with arranging activities and tours in the area. Breakfast was delicious and hosts could not be more accommodating, also providing fruit juices/tea or coffee. Could not recommend having dinner at the property enough! Amazing home cooked Sri Lankan style food, which is some of the best food we’ve had!

This home stay is just everything u need in Sigiriya. perfectly located in the middle of the village. The hosts are very attentive and help a lot if u want to arrange activities or transportation for a fair price (arranged 4:45 am tuktuk for sunrise hike, safary, transport to Dambulla and other cities. They also offered us a dinner for 1800 rupees, which was cheap compared to local restaurants and the best food we had in the area!! Price value ration is definitely good, especially since u ought to pick an accommodation in this range cause entrance fees and activities are quite pricy there. Highly recommend!

This was an extra special experience, Duminda and his family are the most generous, kind, interesting and genuine people we have met along our travels so far. They went over and beyond to make sure we had the best experience of the Sigiriya area. This booking is much more than just accommodation, it's a full immersive, local host experience. What you wish for when you travel to a new country - to get a genuine local experience. You should definitely book this!!!
