- good towels
-ac working
-friendly staff
-breakfast was toast with omelette and fruits
The location is fantastic, especially if you want to enjoy views of the famous rock right from the pool — it’s truly a highlight of the stay. The buffet is generous, offering a good mix of local and international dishes, so there’s something for everyone.
We stayed in one of the bungalows, which were spacious, surrounded by nature, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. It was a treat to spot different animals around the property, which added a unique charm to the experience.
On the downside, the bike rental is significantly overpriced, and it seems that very few guests use them because of this. Additionally, many amenities — even something as basic as extra water — are quite expensive, which takes away slightly from the otherwise enjoyable experience.
Overall, it’s a beautiful place in an unbeatable location, with great food and lovely surroundings, but some of the pricing policies could be more guest-friendly.
Positives:
* Friendly and helpful staff
* Beautiful pool view
Negatives:
* Location is far from restaurants
* Need to rent a scooter to get around easily
* Buffet quality needs improvement (food was cold)
* Lack of Western food options in the buffet
The hotel is in a quiet spot surrounded by nature, and we had a really relaxing time listening to the birds. We stayed in a room with its own pool and loved just enjoying the hotel itself. Breakfast came with an amazing view, and the Sri Lankan-style dishes were delicious. The staff were so attentive, always smiling, and made us feel truly welcome. We’d definitely like to come back.
Just note that it’s a bit away from Sigiriya Rock and the town center, so you’ll need a taxi or tuk-tuk to get around.
The hotel location is good sigiriya lion rock is not much far from here. Many birds particularly peacocks are there in the property making it a good experience. The room and bathrooms were clean. Hand towels were not there in the room by default have to ask reception both day but upon asking they were delivered promptly. Breakfast spread was good enough. Just that the food on order is not good enough atleast for our taste, but in buffet it is good like many options are only available in buffet but not in ala carte.
FFrancisco Javier Gonzalez ManzanoJust a short walk from the bus stop, this gem of a guesthouse is hands down the best place to stay in Sri Lanka. The owner goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, always offering help and thoughtful advice. He even arranged for a local tuk-tuk driver at a very reasonable price, ensuring I had the best experience exploring the area. Every afternoon, he would check in and offer a delightful cup of tea, making the stay feel extra special.
His wife’s cooking is an absolute highlight—breakfast was not just delicious but prepared with so much care, adding a homely touch to every meal. The room itself was super clean, big, and incredibly comfortable. From start to finish, they both made me feel completely at home. I can say this was the best accommodation I experienced during my time in Sri Lanka, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a truly memorable and comfortable stay.
Ccamankim시기리야 근처 조용한 곳에 위치해 있어요...
도보로 30분 이내에 시기리야,피두랑갈라에 갈 수 있어요... 주인장 Danu와 그의 아내, 그리고 부모님이 친절하게 맞이해 주셨고, 소박하지만 맛있는 음식이 인상적이었어요... 방 바로 앞 나무 위로 원숭이와 다람쥐 가족이 심심치 않게 해 주네요.... 다만 근처에 식당이나 가게 등 아무것도 없는 것이 살짝 아쉬워요^^
JJohnnyMeschCeylon Retreat Sigiriya was perfection from start to finish. The place is truly in the middle of nowhere — and that’s exactly the magic. Absolute quiet, no noise, no chaos, just nature and peace. The staff were genuinely kind, warm, and always ready to help, not the forced hotel-smile kind, but real hospitality. And one non-negotiable: get the massage. No exaggeration, it was the best massage of our lives — the kind that completely resets both body and mind. If you’re coming here, don’t skip it. Some places you visit, some places you feel — this one stays with you.
SShioriAs the name suggests, it is a retreat in the jungle. There are no windows, and the trees are the natural windows. You can meet squirrels and monkeys, and you are surrounded by the sounds of many birds and insects in the morning and at night. The hotel offers a variety of activities, which can be booked.
The beginning of April, when we stayed, was firefly season, and when it rained in the evening, more than a dozen fireflies surrounded our mosquito net.
ผผู้เข้าพักBeautiful hotel in a convenient location (walking distance to cafes/restaurants and short drive from main sightseeing location). Super friendly and accommodating staff and a very cute dog too. The rooms were spacious and clean, and breakfast was delicious. Thank you for our stay!
ผผู้เข้าพักGreat place to stay if you want to explore the lions rock and the area around. Pidurangala rock is only 15min away by tuk tuk, the lions rock can be done by walk (~20min walk to entrance). But the best experience was the kindness of the hosts. The helped us in every way (explaining routes, advices on activities, organizing tuk tuk, etc.). The food was amazing and we had a lot of interesting conversations with the friendly stuff. Special thanks to Daushna, Larush & Nimal for making our stay remarkable.
AAlekseiConvenient location, 15 minutes to the main attractions of Sigiriya. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean room, delicious breakfast with a view of the rock. The price is great, we recommend. Thank you!)
IIrshaad HaniffThank you for a great stay. The staff were amazing and friendly. We enjoyed the breakfast and conversation learning about the area from the staff. The location is excellent as it's close to attractions and food. We definitely recommend it.
ผผู้เข้าพักПростой отель, можно сказать почти в лесу. Дорог и шума минимум..
Владелец, парень Кумара и его дочери очень приветливые, но есть одно ”НО”.
Парень пригласил на ужин, который приготовила его супруга. И есть большое подозрение, что именно во время это ужина из номера пропали деньги. Во время ужина Кумар уходил из-за стола так же исчезала его старшая дочь.
Это не 100%, но лучше держите деньги при себе.
Пропажу обнаружили через пару дней.
