“Great affordable family run accommodation in Sigiria”
Ajith and his family were very helpful and accommodating during our stay. The lodge provides a simple and affordable place to rest. Breakfast on the balcony was lovely. Air conditioning provided great relief from the humidity of Sigiria

“Cosy green guesthouse, super friendly”
The family-run guesthouse is centrally located in Sigiriya. There are different kinds of shops and restaurants close by. Moreover, the entrance to the lion rock is not far away which makes an early morning hike to the summit for sunset possible. The check-in was quick and easy. Our room was spacious, clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the beautiful house with lots of greenery, the breakfast on the porch as well as the super friendly family members which quickly responded to all our requests. If you like, they will arrange different kinds of messages in the neighborhood, cooking classes, transport or even hot air ballooning. Furthermore, they will help you with information about your next destination (may it be Dambulla, Polonnaruwa or somewhere else). A great surprise was that there is a cooperation with another hotel 2 km away to use the swimming pool. It was such a wonderful time after ascending Sigiriya lion hill early in the morning.

“Highly recommend. We couldn't have wished for a nicer place.”
Fabulous place! Very comfortable and great breakfasts! Easy to find, with good, easy access to all the sites, including shops, bars and restaurants. Super nice staff, very helpful with both local and further travel information and support. With their help we visited not only the Sigiriya Rock, and a full day at Polonarewa, but also the forward travel to our next destination.

I could not recommend Sigiri Lion Lodge more! The owner was incredibly kind and helpful, organising our safari trip and arranging any TukTuks we needed. Every time we passed his office he greeted us with such enthusiasm and warmth, it was like we had known him for years. His kindness really made our trip. Our room was clean and comfortable, providing the perfect base to explore Sigiriya. Breakfast was served outside our room every morning - it was delicious, beautifully presented, and they catered exceptionally well to our gluten-free needs.
