“Great location and hosts!”
The host and her family were so lovely and accomodating. We booked the homestay as it was only a 15 minute walk to the entrance of Sigiriya which was ideal. It’s also only a 2 minute walk to the local bus stop which was helpful when going to the Dambulla Cave Temples. We had lovely breakfast and dinner provided by the host. Also nothing beats walking outside and seeing monkeys! Overall a great experience!

“The best affordable accommodation in sigiriya”
Lovely little homestay. The owners were so kind and did everything to ensure we had the perfect stay. So friendly and the breakfast was brilliant. They sorted all taxis for us and just made everything so easy. The kothu the owner made for dinned is still the best we’ve had here. Couldn’t recommend this place more. Also elephants were literally in the garden at night which is just mental🤣

“An oasis”
It was a quiet location with a short distance to the village. The breakfast was very nice and we ate dinner there also trying delicious Sri Lankan food.
