A lovely homestay just outside the main strip of Sigiriya. The most welcoming and friendly hosts. The rooms are what you would expect for the price. Nice and clean, air-conditioning. It is in beautiful nature so expect animal noises (peacocks, dogs, birds). We ate both breakfast and dinner at their restaurant Green Hut Restaurant which is next door. The food was delicious and made with organic produce from their garden.

Had a great stay. The hosts were amazing and very hospitable, providing juice on arrival and breakfast in the morning. Would definitely commend! Very small issue; could use some more plugs in the room to charge devices, but not major issue at all.

Tolle Unterkunft mit super Essen
Die herzlichen Gastgeber machen diese Unterkunft unvergesslich. Das Essen ist aussergewöhnlich lecker und die Lage des Hotels ist ideal. Der Lionsrock ist nur wenige Minuten vom Hotel entfernt. Die Gastgeber helfen gerne beim Organisieren von Ausflügen und passen sich individuell den Gästen an. Die Safari in den Kaudulla Nationalpark war ein Ratschlag des Gastgebers und im Nachhinein eines der Highlights auf unserer Reise in Sri Lanka.

Great base for Sigiriya and surrounds.
The location is great to the two rocks and the roof top is nice too looking towards Sigiriya. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious. The family/staff are always around to help out as required and they are easy going and friendly. We visited the rock, ancient cities and Dambulla from this great base. The room was great value, we enjoyed our stay! Definately recommend a stay here.

Great Place to Stay in Sigiriya
Fantastic hotel within short walking distance of Lions Rock. Room was attractive, clean, and comfortable. Staff was attentive and kind. The food was amazing and affordable. If you stay here, it would not make sense to eat elsewhere. Overall, it was a great stay. I used this hotel as a base to see sites in sigiriya, dambulla, and polonnaruwa. It worked out really well to be close to everything but to have a nice peaceful place to come back to.

Walking distance from Sigiriya
This is a great place to stay if you are looking to visit Sigiriya and nearby Pidurangala. It's literally walking distance from the entrance to the rock! The hotel itself isn't particularly fancy, but the room was clean, airconditiioned and with hot water so it had what I needed. But the restaurant provided a bit extra, with very decent food at reasonable value. I would definitely recommend staying here if you intend to visit the Rock, but it is little out of the way to visit anywhere else without a tuk tuk.

Best hotel to visit Sigiriya!
A really nice family-run hotel. We stayed in the upstairs rooms of the family house and ate all our meals in the Green Hut restaurant which is also run by the family next door. We walked about a kilometer to Sigiriya rock and had a nice 3 km walk down country lanes to Pidurangala Rock for another nice hike and views. We also went on a jeep safari to Minneriya National Park. We did not realize that the hotel owner also operates a jeep safari - be sure to ask about it - great time. Overall a fantastic location, excellent hotel that gives you a real taste of country life in Sri Lanka. In the photo, taken from Sigiriya rock, the hotel is the green roof between the big white Buddha and the large grey rock.

Basic accomodation close to Sigiriya rock
Pro's: Sriani is a wonderful host who was very welcoming and ready to help. The location is very good, it's very close to Sigiriya rock and you can see the Sigiriya Temple from the villa. Restaurants are a short tuk tuk ride away. Con's: It's a very basic room, so you get what you paid for. The pillows weren't very comfortable at all, they are more like small cushions. The hot water and cold water in the shower come out of different shower heads so you can't really adjust it to make the water warm

Great hotel that's pretty well tucked in - so much so that it can be hard to find. The hotel could use more signs to help direct travelers. The staff is phenomenal and really makes their guests feel at home. The food is also great and made to order. The rooms look and feel new. I had an issue with my flight out of Sigiriya and the hotel owner arranged transportation for me to Colombo. A fantastic hotel for the price.

Familien (værterne) var helt fantastisk venlige og hjælpsomme. Vi bookede sent til en meget billig pris inkl. morgenmad (€29) og overnattede i et af de gamle værelser. Det var rent men meget simpelt og slidt. Til gengæld var maden (middag/morgenmad) fantastisk god. Alt undtagen toastbrød var hjemmelavet.

Cozy accomodation ゆるーい宿です
(日本語は後述) accomodation is clean and staff is kind and friendly. The place is 15 mins walk from Sigiriya Rock, thus really convenient. There is no restaurant around the hotel, so that u have to take dinner there unless u hire a tour driver. The dinner there is a bit expensive, which costs average Rp 700-900. To wrap up, we really enjoyed the stay there. 改装したばかりで非常に綺麗です。皆さんフレンドリーで気持ちいいです。ご飯食べてても凄くテーブル周りをウロウロするんだけれどたぶん親愛のアクションなんでしょう。食べ物は朝ご飯はスリランカンカレー。夜は近くにレストランなどないのでここで食べましたが一人800rpくらいしたのでちょっと高いと感じました。ケチですみません。あとシギリアロックから徒歩15分くらいでこのためにきた人には交通至便。人工的な明かり全くがなくて星が最高に綺麗です。コスパはいいと思います。あ、お湯はぬるめで水圧も弱め。そこは大目に見ました（笑）
