Our visit and stay were absolutely flawless, thanks to Saman. He was incredibly helpful in every way, offering expert guidance for Sigiriya Rock. His insightful and engaging presentation before the climb gave us a deeper understanding of the site and made the experience even more memorable. Saman ensured everything went smoothly, from providing easy access to the ticketing office to assisting with every detail along the way. The accommodation was perfect, with a delicious breakfast and an ideal location just a short walk from the entrance to Sigiriya Rock. This experience was truly everything we hoped for and more—highly recommended!"

The room was very nice and cozy, with a cute balcony and a very nice view into the family garden. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. The free cooking class was also amazing. We learned so much about the traditional foods and culture in Sri Lanka. Wish we could’ve stayed here longer!

The Jungle Eco Lodge Diyakepilla in Sigiriya offers a unique and immersive experience in the heart of nature. Nestled amidst lush greenery, the lodge provides a serene retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Its eco-friendly approach is commendable, with sustainable practices evident throughout the property. The owners hospitality and dedication to preserving the environment enhance the overall experience. However, guests should be prepared for an off-the-grid experience, as the lodge's remote location means limited connectivity and amenities. Overall, Jungle Eco Lodge Diyakepilla is an ideal choice for eco-conscious travelers seeking tranquility and adventure in the wilderness of Sigiriya.

Samanthi's homestay felt like a home from home. The room smelt lovely and fresh as soon as you entered. Huge double beds, very clean. Surroundings were amazing. Set in a residential area with neighbours going about their everyday jobs. We had our best night's sleep here. Breakfast was amazing and Samanthi made sure we had a different dish on each day. Great host, amazing room and we would definitely recommend to other people. Thanks Samanthi and family.

The view was superb, not to talk about the structure itself. Duminda and his family were the best part of the experience. So human, so warm. Everything was just the best

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.
