I’m all about nature and luxuriant vegetation and this place provides plenty of it. The owner’s kindness in providing logistical help and advice makes you feel very welcome. He is quite a character and I enjoyed the little talks we had. Breakfast is plentiful and provides the energy needed for active days.

Our stay with Kumari and her family was one of the highlights of our trip to Sri Lanka. The family is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their house is in a unique location, right in the heart of the jungle. The homemade food was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend staying at their place to anyone visiting the area.

Amazing little gem of a place. We had 2 rooms and they were very comfortable. The people were incredibly kind. They did everything they could to make our stay the best. You only had to ask and they would help. They know all about the local attractions so don’t hesitate to ask. Breakfast and dinner was just perfect for us. Super tasty local food. Really enjoyed staying here and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere quiet but convenient.

Ruan was the most amazing host for this beautiful homestay. We exchanged a lot of stories and had such a great time with him and his family. They cooked amazing food for us, homegrown from their own farm and Ruan sat with us through each meal and we had great conversations with him. Loved out time there and would go back to Sri Lanka only to meet our friend again😊

Amazing people that welcome you into their home stay, making it a very homey place. The food, both breakfast and dinner, was absolutely incredible and best we had throughout our holiday in Sri Lanka. Definitely recommend the curry !! They even organized a last minute elephant safari and trip to Dambulla. The room was very clean with a stunning view from the top. It offers incredible price value for the experience that you get. Would definitely recommend anyone staying in Sigiriya.

Lovely homestay with a very welcoming family. The room was clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was really good and set us up for the day. In the absence of pick me drivers the host even drove us the 30 mins to the train station which was very handy.

It was a wonderful homestay. The host is a woman who has travelled as well and you can chitchat with her on the terrace. The room itself is basic but has everything needed. The bathroom is also basic but has hot water as well.

Would recommend! Great hosts - always helpful and friendly. Tasty breakfast and good location (close to restaurants, the bus & the lions paw). Took the bus to Dambulla for the day, really easy to do.
