“Beautiful place in Sigiria”

Lakmal and his family as well as his staff were an absolute delight. Lakmal will arrange everything. He has a car as well as a Tuk Tuk. He took us to Lions Rock for sunrise and arranged an Elephant safari. We ate fantastic curries in the evening. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The grounds are so beautiful and tranquil including a gorgeous swimming pool. Amazing value as well Highly recommended

“Excellent”

The location is excellent, with numerous dining options in close proximity. Lakmal and his family were exceptional hosts, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort, particularly when we encountered issues with our vehicle.

Cute family run accommodation. We enjoyed our stay here. Great breakfast and beautiful garden with varieties of fruit trees that we were first time seeing :)

“An ideal place to stay for a few nights, run by a lovely family”

We had a wonderful stay at Liyon Rest. We were welcomed with remarkable kindness and a great sense of service, and our accommodation for three was ideal. The Sri Lankan breakfasts were varied and delicious, and we were able to enjoy the swimming pool after our sightseeing trips. This accommodation is just a short drive from the main attractions, and the nearby shops and restaurants are within walking distance.

“Highly recommend for anyone visiting Sigiriya!”

We had a lovely stay at Liyon Rest, particularly due to Lakmal. He helped us arrange everything (airport pick up, safari, a lovely Ayurvedic spa experience & countless tuktuk rides) and was always very quick to respond and happy to help. Highly recommend!

“Great experience, lovely welcoming hosts who organised all of our trips, great breakfast every morning”

“Would happily stay again!”

Lakmal was an incredible host - nothing was too big of an ask. He arranged our transport from Negombo to Sigiriya and then onward to Kandy (as well as tuk tuks throughout our stay). Homemade breakfast was a lovely way to start our mornings, and the property was stunning with all the fruit trees and a well maintained pool area. Thank you!

“They made my mums birthday so special, brought her flowers and laid out her name in petals. Beautiful stay. Amazing brea”

Everything. The breakfast, location, gardens, pool, owners.

“A Peaceful Escape”

We just loved this place. It is the perfect place for someone who is looking for some peace and quiet. The rooms are extremely clean. They have a good functioning pool open at all times. The owner of the place is polite and humble, had a good time chatting with him. He welcomed us with Sri Lankan tea. It is located at the best possible location, all the tourist attractions are nearby. I highly highly recommend this place to everyone.

“Lovely place run by a lovely familh”

Lovely family running a sweet place .

“Calm spot in Sigiriya”

Lakmar is super friendly. Garden and pool bring a lot of zen. Perfect spot to do yoga. Or something else.

The property is gorgeous, the hosts are incredibly helpful, and food is one of the best we had during our two week stay in Sri Lanka (still thinking about Kottu that Lakmal’s mother cooked one of the evenings). Lakmal helped us organize a safari and some other tours around the area. I would definitely come back!

“A quiet, welcoming gem right on the doorstep of Sigiriya”

Lakmal and his family are very nice and always on hand to help. Pool and facilities are excellent, as is the food, all homemade by mum. Bungalows are large and spacious with a nice garden, and only a few other guests. Ideally located in a very quiet spot, just a stone's throw from Sigiriya rock.

“Gorgeous property, great location, perfect hosts.”

The property is set within well maintained grounds and has a swimming pool, perfect after a day climbing Lions Rock. The rooms are lovely with everything you need. We only stayed for one night and arrived late. The host and his wife were very welcoming and even though it was late cooked omelettes and made tea for us. They let us stay after check out to use the pool and sorted transport to our next destination. I would definitely recommend staying in tranquil haven.

“A wonderful escape with the kindest family”

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Liyon Rest. Lakmal and his family were so lovely and accommodating- helping us arrange a scooter for the few days we were there and cooking us a wonderful dinner one night when we got rained out. The gardens are impeccably manicured and lush and the pool is great. Breakfast was also delicious! Would definitely recommend!

“Super quality, chilled place”

Amazingly stay, staff were friendly and really accomodating. We ate at the place for the first night and food was lovely, even included a pudding. The gardens are so clean and pool area spotless, it was so nice and refreshing chilling on the loungers under the trees. The pool was never busy. Breakfsst was amazing and so much, fruits, lots of different breads/pancake, omelette, jam and butter. They even sorted out a car for us to Ella, which was cheaper then pick me.Would highly recommend.
