Away from it all.
Friendly staff and a nice pool but a bit far out from town unless you really want to get away from it all. The rooms were ok with a basic concrete finish. For the price it would have been nice to have a tiled bathroom and shower screen fitted.

Tranquil hideaway
Location is a little unusual and bit out of it but the peace and views are amazing. Hosts were very caring and attentive. Room was very clean as were all other areas of the hotel. Food was also very tasty.

This hotel is in an out of the way location. It is very calm and peaceful and we enjoyed our food. I like to birwatch while on holiday and the birds on the lake were fabulous. Staff was helpful and it was one of the best value stays in Sri Lanka.

Terrible hotel
This is Not a typical hotel. This is a safari type cottage. They have only 4 rooms, nicely built, nice interior but poorly maintained. If you Need any help or need to contact the reception need to walkout, no phone facility. The most terrible thing is the drive. It is about 3-4 KM away from the road.. The road is narrow, muddy and bumpy. Hardly a car can be driven safely. I doubt if it rain a car can be driven that road. I do not recommend for a family stay.

Peaceful hotel
A little slice of paradise, a very peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle. The owner arranged the most spectacular safari and everyone took excellent care of us. The food was delicious and the tuk tuk driver was such a nice guy. He took us climbing up a mountain and held out a hand to us to help us climb. He went above and beyond. All in all a lovely place to stay.

The scenary is stunning but it is very hard to find with the difficult access dirt road. The host had to send a tutu to pick us up half way through as our car is hard to pass. The room has excellent lake view, big size room and bathroom and comfortable king bed but the extra roller bed we requested had some stains on the sheets and the hot water ran out very quickly only enough for a quick shower.

Loved the pool and the service! Chaminda and his family are such great hosts. Only bad thing: food/drinks are overpriced (1700/dinner) and prices are not even given on the Menu. You better have dinner in the village for half the price!

Un séjour mémorable!!! Digne d'un cinq étoiles
Nous avons réservé à cette hôtel afin de nous reposer suite à un séjour éprouvant dans la ville de Colombo. Après une longue recherche du tuk-tuk, nous sommes arrivés dans un petit coin de paradis. Absolument tout était parfait! Le gérant nous a acceuilli avec des serviettes aromatisées pour le visage et des jus de papaye fraîchement pressés. Puis il nous a amené à notre chambre dans l'un des six bungalows....encore une fois parfait! Le lavabo était orné de fleurs fraiches, il y avait l'air climatisé, une salle de bain digne d'un cinq étoiles, un lit extrêmement confortable et même un grand balcon où nous avons aperçu plusieurs paons le lendemain matin. Lors de la journée nous avons profité de la piscine infinie dans un décor à couper le souffle. Le gérant (toujours aux petits soins)nous a préparé un club sandwich (excellent), puis il nous a amené à un point de vue où nous avons observé le lion rock. Pour le souper, les employés ont déplacé les tables autour de la piscine pour y faire des soupers aux chandelles... magnifique!!! Un séjour plus que mémorable! Personnel : gentil, courtois et aux petits soins! Nourriture : d'une qualité exceptionnelle! Emplacement : un peu loins du centre, mais ça en vaut la peine!!! N'hésitez surtout pas à le réserver!

Hotel bonito y con vistaz preciosas a un lago.
El hotel en si esta nuy bien. En medio de la nada y en el lago. Las vistas son preciosas. Si quierrs relajarte es una opcion muy buena. Lo unico esta muy apartado y es dificil de encontrarlo x un camino nada bueno. Recomendable si quedas con los del hotel para que te vayan a buscar y te llevan ellos. En la habitacion no habia wifi, solo el comedor. Habitaciones limpias y con terraza con vistas preciosas al lago.

Dear Guest, Many thanks for your genuine review. We're in process of having the direction / sign boards to the hotel and awaiting for the approvals for the same from local authorities. I'm extremely sorry for the low reception of WiFi signal to your room and we will definitely look into increasing the strength of WiFi signals all over the hotel premises. Anyhow we would like to welcome you back at RHO Sigiriya during your next holidays in Sri Lanka again. The Management

Wunderbar
Selten eine so herzliche Begrüssung erhalten. Die nette Familie hat ihr Hotel in mitten der Natur gebaut, neben einem See. Der Pool ist sehr einladend sowie die Zimmer sehr neu und modern. Das Essen war fantastisch. Kompliment! Leider liegt das Hotel ein bisschen abseits, was die Anfahrt bei Regen schwierig macht (nur per TukTuk oder Auto auf Naturstrasse erreichbar). Diese Hotel kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!

大自然の中のホテル
大自然の中で滞在できました。車の音や街中の喧騒は全くありません。夜は、ただ自然に囲まれて過ごすだけです。夕日がとてもきれいでした。ピーコックが庭の中によく来て、間近に見ることができました。シーギリアロックも、庭から見ることができました。こじんまりとしていて、ホテルスタッフは、家族的でとても親切でした。
