Lovely homestay overlooking Sigiriya rock

We stayed 2 nights and had a great time - the owner & his family are so welcoming and helpful. The accommodation is not in the center of Sigiriya so you need a tuktuk to get to and from there. The accommodation is walking distance to Sigiriya rock, with a great view of it too!

Located in a more rural part of the area - it’s beautiful with surrounding nature and farm land. The hosts are extremely sweet and lovely with two lovely dogs and I felt safe being there travelling alone. This is not located near the restaurants, shops or main places to visit, so you cannot walk anywhere or easily pick up transport. Probably more an issue with me needing to be better asking in honesty, but I moved to Sirigiya village the last night of my stay because I wanted to be able to get breakfast and dinner, plus be around more people. Sirigiya village was great for restaurants/cafes and other amenities, whilst still being quiet and surrounded by nature.

Amazing stay in the middle of the jungle!

UG and his family were such amazing hosts. They put me in the treehouse room, which at first I was a bit sceptical about but I ended up loving it as one of the most memorable parts of my trip. Right in the middle of the forest, around a 20 minute walk from Sigirya and Pidurangala rocks, very common to see elephants and deer walking around freely. Sri Lankan breakfast included as well was delicious and everything homemade! Would highly recommend for visits to see the two main rocks and a place to stay.

El mejor lugar de Sri Lanka para alojarse. Me he alojado varias veces aquí y lo volveré a hacer. Los dueños te hacen sentir como en tu propia casa. Puedes ver elefantes en libertad desde la habitación de la casa en el árbol, algo increible.

Magisk frukost och bra läge!

Mannen i huset är en klippa. Han gjorde frukost till oss ute på gården, med utsikt mot Sigiriya rock. En magiskt frukost som Sri Laneserna själva äter, WOW. Gångavstånd till Sigiriya Rock. Stannade en natt. Rekommenderar boendet, främst för läget och frukosten! Kostar dock extra att bo i bungalown.

I am now very pleased to review this guesthouse. From any place you travel from to reach Sigirîya, you'll have to spend some time on dusty roads for the town, which exists only thanks to the continuous pilmgrimage of worldwide tourists, is kind of remote. At the scale of Sri Lanka at least. You'll find yourself on bumpy ways, navigate through deep tropical 'jungles', avoid elephants ready to jump on your face while hiding on the sides of the road when it's dark (yes particularly in this area !). So when you'll eventually arrive, all you want is to find a safe, welcoming and quiet place to reinvigorate yourself. That's exactly what this guesthouse is going to offer you! After your hard day, you'll just reach an oasis of calm plenty of beautiful paradisiacal flowers, elegant bungalow-like rooms, one of them in the garden being the main attraction of the house (see the picture). The owner is a dedicated person who will do literally everything to bring you comfort. Since he also grows rice and some vegetables in his garden, it is not totally impossible that elephants will come to... eat the rice (or try at least). Which is rather rare to be honest. However, they will be kept away with crackers and locals' fury. Nights, in Sigirîya in general, are picturesque for sure: Dogs suddenly scream, crackers boom all around, villagers switch their torches on at a distance to the point, you'll certainly ask yourself in the safety of your room: "Was there an elephant nearby tonight?"
