Great value accommodation close to Lion Rock. Kind, friendly, and informative host. Thank you for the 5:30am Tuk Tuk ride to the Rock. Highly recommend a hike up the stairs to the summit too despite the $35 USD entrance fee.

Second time here, but if we will come to Sigiriya, definetaly to this place. .The surrounding is so beautiful, you feel as the middle of the jungle. Monkeys are watching you all the time, its funny. The rooms are superclean and comfortable. Finally the breakfast is amazing. The owner puts not only lot of food, but his heart on tge table as well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!😊😊😊

The room is simple but has everything you need. Ac, fridge, big bed and little space around for your luggage. The view is very beautiful from there. The beach in front is not for swimming but you can admire the ocean.

It was a great stay, provided us with a fabulous service certainly more than we expected to the amount we had to spend. Awesome hospitality, the staff was super friendly and special thank to the manager who was easily accessible and very supportive throughout our stay. Accompanied us to visit Sigiriya by his tuktuk early in the morning which was quite exceptional. Overall we appreciate their humanity among most of the money minded people. Highly recommended.

In the middle of the jungle, the staff is really nice and helpful, they managed many services for us (tuktuks, bike rental, safari, laundry and even umbrellas during the heavy night rains) We had all our meals there (breakfast was enough for lunch)

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 breakfast was absolutely delicious. The patties were some of the best I’ve ever had. They also served bananas grown on their own farm, called "Naga bananas." I was surprised by their rich, sticky texture. Whenever I asked for help with things I wanted to do or places I wanted to visit, they immediately made arrangements. They were incredibly reliable and helpful. Also, their child was so cute—it was very heartwarming.

We reached the hotel too early in the morning (it was around 7 a.m.) and the guy who was at the reception was super kind and went to clean and prepare the room for us. It was amazing experience and it helped us to survive the long trin that we had. MANY THANKS!

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.

Would recommend! Great hosts - always helpful and friendly. Tasty breakfast and good location (close to restaurants, the bus & the lions paw). Took the bus to Dambulla for the day, really easy to do.
