Incredible! This place is a hidden gem in Sigiriya, we wanted to stay longer but it was fully booked. The room had everything you need, very clean and comfortable. The swimming pool is amazing and the view is fantastic. Don’t miss your chance, it’s a rare find.

Awesome location right in the jungle. We saw monkeys, squirrels and other wildlife. The cabana is basic but a decent size, it worked well for our family of 3. It's an easy walk or tuktuk to cafes, restaurants and activities. A delicious breakfast is served in their covered outdoor eating area and was different each day. The staff were great and happy to arrange our transportation, elephant safari and laundry service. Even though it rained heavily almost the entire time we were in Sigiriya we really enjoyed our time here.

We loved our stay here. The grounds were beautiful, our room was incredibly clean with a gorgeous balcony looking across the mango orchard, and the pool was absolutely lovely. The hotel is designed so that it’s very open to the outside, so you feel like you’re in the middle of nature. We loved the decorative touches, like the wall of masks and the display of colourful bangles behind the reception desk. The whole concept of the hotel, as a women-led enterprise, is unique. This was our first hotel in Sri Lanka and it was only later that we realised how unusual it is to have so many women in these roles. It gives the hotel a calming atmosphere as all of the staff were so kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived (and lit the ceremonial peacock oil lamp!). I didn’t try the spa but my mum booked a treatment and, although a bit pricey, she loved it. The buffet breakfast was delicious, with a lot of vegan and vegetarian choices, although the dinner menu was a bit limited for vegans. We stayed two nights and wished we’d booked another, as we were so comfortable here.

We had an absolutely delightful stay at Lion Gate Hotel Sigiriya. We spent two nights there, and without a doubt, it’s the most charming and welcoming hotel we’ve experienced. Bernard, who manages the hotel, goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort, and his friendly staff make you feel right at home. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of dishes—many of them traditional—that catered to all tastes. The hotel was very clean, and every team member was friendly and warm. Additionally, all the nearby attractions were easily accessible. We would love to stay here again anytime!

We stayed in the treehouse and it was one of the best experiences of our lives. Such a unique stay, we really couldn’t fault it. The room was nice and cool with a fan and mosquito net, there were plenty plugs and windows around the room for us to look out and feel we were in the middle of the jungle! We loved hearing all the animals in the morning and the peacock that appeared each morning right outside. The hosts couldn’t do enough to make sure we had a comfortable stay - thanks so much for a wonderful, memorable stay. Also, fabulous breakfast!

Excellent place to spend few days or even weeks. The rooms are big, clean and modern. One can order breakfast, lunch, dinner and basically anything you want. The menu is it boring but if you talk to the chef, he will make you the best autentic Srilankan meal in the whole country. We had dinner every night during our stay and the chef made us such a delicous food which we will not forget. The owner is a great guy and he is always there to help you out and answer your questions in several languages ;)

Amazing place to spend time while you are in Sigiriya! We came here for 1 night to celebrate my wife’s birthday. I was a bit nervous because I wanted to prepare a surprise for her with birthday cake, flowers, romantic dinner and I was not sure if I will be able to organize everything remotely. But Thilini and Madu from reception made everything possible! They helped me so much to organize everything and together with Piyasiri they took care of us during this day! This was amazing! These people of the best services we have ever had! Also, thanks for Kumara and Dalsi for delicious food! Our room was big and comfortable. There is also scenic pool with direct view to Sigiriya rock. We took some nice photos here. Make sure to come early for the sunrise, because this is popular photo spot for hotel visitors. If you are tired after hiking to Sigiriya rock and the second rock (don’t remember name), we truly recommend you to visit the SPA in this hotel. This was a perfect time after early morning hikes) Once again, this place super amazing with great service, you will not regret! Piyasiri, Thilini, Madu a you are the best, many thanks for you!

Overall, very good place for relaxation and ayurvedic rejuvenation amidst salubrious and pristine environment. The room was enormous with a plunge pool and luxurious four poster bed which gave us utmost comfort and deep sleep. Beautiful spacious bathroom, plenty of storage with traditional furnishings. Lush greenery and the song of the peacocks and other birds, dancing monkeys offer lots of free entertainment. Staff were so professional and kind in fulfilling our requests including our three day extension of stay due to cyclone ditwa and road closure. Our package included wonderful elaborate breakfast and quality Ayurveda treatments by attentive therapists. Had some initial hiccups where hot water wasn't working in the bathroom which they fixed attentively. Due to being home for wild elephants, safety restrictions beyond specific time in the evening apply but the staff guide appropriately. Special thanks/Stuti to Chandana, Laksha, Ranga, therapists, restaurant and housing keeping staff for looking after us so well during our stay. Would highly recommend for guests of all ages to experience Ayugiri hospitality.

Sigiriya is a must visit ancient ruins monument in Sri Lanka...

Sigiriya is a must visit ancient ruins monument in Sri Lanka. It is a nice experience to observe the sunrise from the top of the rock. The climb takes about 30-40 minutes unless one stops by to explore the water fountains, structures and other remnants of the location. Entrance to the rock is through the lion structure and on the top of the rock Sigiri frescos and the mirror wall can be observed. These are not allowed to be photographed. Applying sun screen can be a good idea and it would be better to take precautions for being sweaty. Maintaining silence while climbing can be important as there are Giant Honey Bees in the surrounding. Bathroom facilities on top of the rock however are very scarce.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay at Hotel Golden Ray! My experience at Hotel Golden Ray was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing a perfect space to relax after exploring Dambulla. The hotel’s atmosphere is peaceful and charming, with a great balance between modern comfort and natural surroundings. The food was delicious and freshly prepared, and I truly appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of the service. I highly recommend Hotel Golden Ray to anyone visiting Dambulla — it’s a perfect place for both leisure and business stays. I’ll definitely return on my next visit! 🌿✨

A beautiful place on earth that there are lots of 360 degree view points. But if it rains it will ruin your plans. So make sure you depend on weatherly and visit Matale when it shows many continuous sunny days. Even on cloudy forecasts do not visit as all mointain tops then will be covered and you will not see the sights. when it is humid leaches also will be active and will become a painful experience.

I didn’t come to Sigiriya to explore the town itself, but purely for the iconic Sigiriya Rock—and it was absolutely worth it. The experience was incredible, with stunning views from the top. My friends and I climbed up for sunrise, which I highly recommend as the best time to go. Just be prepared: there are a lot of stairs—some carved directly into the rock, others metal and uneven. We visited in November just after the monsoon, so it was warm and the climb had us sweating buckets. If you plan on taking those perfect social-media photos, bring a spare T-shirt… or do what I did and let AI handle the magic! Although the ascent was tough and left us literally out of breath, the moment we reached the top made it all worth it. The views were truly breathtaking—quite fitting, since the climb already took my breath away.

We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.

Lions rock is great, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Lions rock is great, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We stayed for two nights in the end as we got to sigiriya late. This meant we ate dinner one night at the little hut which wass great, climbed the rock, then moved on to the habarana which was also interesting to wander and eat.

Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy,...

Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. We stayed there for 4 Nights and could cover the heritage sites easily. Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.
