Guest Reviews
- Jason (10/5): - Value for money, very friendly staff. Pool. Nice view from rock behind hotel climb up with drinks. Walk to lion rock - big Buddha near villa a great market. Recommend for families
- Joseph (4/5): - I probably would have stayed elsewhere had I done more research. Room had the bare minimum: 1 towel, 1 very small bar of soap. Neither bed had a comforter and only 1 very thin sheet; I had to sleep with a sweatshirt on because there is no way to adjust the air conditioning. When I first flushed the toilet there was a very large cockroach (or beetle).
There was an uncomfortable amount of flies when trying to dine in the kitchen/restaurant area, which made lunch unpleasant. I understand where we are in location flies are a given, however this was above average. All in all, I wouldn’t stay here again and would rather pay more to stay elsewhere.
- Sandrine (10/5): Parfait. - La disponibilte du personnel vraiment tous très gentils. La piscine est belle et la vue est magnifique. Levér de soleil tres sympa en direct de la chambre. Chambre tres spacieuse. Hotel a 10mn a pied du centre ville. Au calme. Le petit dej est tres copieux et bon.
- Emilio (10/5): - Lo mejor de este alojamiento es el desayuno y sobre todo el personal . Son geniales y atentos en todo lo que puedan ayudar. Muy bien situado como base para ver todos los alrededores de Sigiriya. Muy recomedable
- Christian (10/5): - We really enjoyed our time at this villa near Lion Rock. It is a ten minute walk to the rock and we were very happy with the cooking class we took with the owner. I highly recommend booking here - it was a much more personal experience as opposed to a big resort.
- Ravi (2/5): - Please, all foreign tourist stay away from this hotel. We have had a racist encounter with the hotel manager
The hotel does not have hot running water and the air-conditioning does not work
The hotel falsely advertises on all platforms that the rooms are clean hot water is provided and air-conditioning is working. This is not true. Please can you avoid this hotel.
Please do not make the mistake of giving them a Benefit of doubt. You can visit this property at any time to inspect it to see it malfunction
- John (10/5): - This was one of the most friendly hotels that we have stayed in for a long time. All of the staff seem to have a genuine interest in making sure that we had a good time and made the most of our stay in Sigiriya. They also organised a couple of trips for us - to Polonnarua and an elephant safari. The first of these was a fascinating day visiting a former capital of Sri Lanka and the second was an afternoon seeing more than a dozen different herds of elephants, some of them just a few metres away from us. Both of these trips were excellent value. However, what makes this place Extra Special is certainly the friendliess of the staff. And the home-cooked food is also of excellent quality. For such a warm welcome this place is very good value and highly recommend recommended
- Jessica (6/5): Trevligt enkelt naturnära boende - Väldigt trångt familjerum men rent och naturnära läge med elefanter i området.
Hjälpsam och mycket trevlig personal.
Vacker utsikt mot Lejonklippan från närliggande höjd.
- Kohei (10/5): - 比較的綺麗な部屋と設備でした。
飲食店や食料品店まですこし遠いですが、あらかじめ調達しておけば大丈夫です。
シャワーがぬるいことと、水圧が弱いこと以外は満足しています。
素晴らしい施設でした。
- Elin (10/5): Amazing stay in the jungle! - We loved our stay at Sinhagiri villa. The family that runs it are lovely and very friendly. We really recommend the cooking class, that was such an amazing experience. The food in general is super flavourful. The homestay is close to Sigiriya Rock and Pidurangala and the hosts can help arrange a lot of different activities. Higly recommend!
- Duane (10/5): - Great service
- ZOE (10/5): - A lovely homestay just outside the main strip of Sigiriya. The most welcoming and friendly hosts. The rooms are what you would expect for the price. Nice and clean, air-conditioning. It is in beautiful nature so expect animal noises (peacocks, dogs, birds). We ate both breakfast and dinner at their restaurant Green Hut Restaurant which is next door. The food was delicious and made with organic produce from their garden.
- Heather (10/5): - Unique accommodation with beautiful gardens and beautiful views - walking distance to sigiriya rock if you want to walk. Hosts are lovely
- George (10/5): - Had a great stay. The hosts were amazing and very hospitable, providing juice on arrival and breakfast in the morning. Would definitely commend!
Very small issue; could use some more plugs in the room to charge devices, but not major issue at all.
- Sverre (10/5): - Very charming hotel in the jungle very close to Sigiria. The Family who runs the hotel was extremly friendly and helpfull, and served the best Sri Lankan food we got on the whole trip. Would definently recommend this as a place to stay to visit Sigiria or the area around.
- Verified traveler (8/5): とても静かな場所 - とても静かでゆっくりすることができた。
遅いチェックインだったのに、笑顔で対応してくれたし、朝食の時も朝が早いですのに言っていた時間通りに作っていてくれて有難かったたです!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The owner family is very sweet and welcoming. The location is great as well.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This place is very quiet and it has an amazing view of the rock. The breakfast here was great and the staff here are awesome.
- Gerard (10/5): Great place to stay!! - We stopped here on an overnight stop off to climb Pidurangala Rock. We checking nice a quick and were shown to our room. Nice and close to both rocks, even when my partner fell and hurt her ankle the lady who worked there tended to it for her which was lovely!! Thank you!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft mit super Essen - Die herzlichen Gastgeber machen diese Unterkunft unvergesslich. Das Essen ist aussergewöhnlich lecker und die Lage des Hotels ist ideal. Der Lionsrock ist nur wenige Minuten vom Hotel entfernt. Die Gastgeber helfen gerne beim Organisieren von Ausflügen und passen sich individuell den Gästen an. Die Safari in den Kaudulla Nationalpark war ein Ratschlag des Gastgebers und im Nachhinein eines der Highlights auf unserer Reise in Sri Lanka.
- Samuel (10/5): Friendly people. - Only a one day stay. But the owners made me feel very welcomed. The rooms were very clean and I really liked the breakfast made to my liking. Thank you! Will stay again in the future.
- Eunice (10/5): Friendly and welcoming - we were made so welcome, this is such a friendly place - a real home from home. Lots of amazing places easily within reach, our time here was too short!
- Erin (10/5): Great base for Sigiriya and surrounds. - The location is great to the two rocks and the roof top is nice too looking towards Sigiriya. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious. The family/staff are always around to help out as required and they are easy going and friendly. We visited the rock, ancient cities and Dambulla from this great base. The room was great value, we enjoyed our stay! Definately recommend a stay here.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Otel staff everytime make noisy party themselves ..no soap at room ..
- Scott (10/5): Great Place to Stay in Sigiriya - Fantastic hotel within short walking distance of Lions Rock. Room was attractive, clean, and comfortable. Staff was attentive and kind. The food was amazing and affordable. If you stay here, it would not make sense to eat elsewhere. Overall, it was a great stay. I used this hotel as a base to see sites in sigiriya, dambulla, and polonnaruwa. It worked out really well to be close to everything but to have a nice peaceful place to come back to.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent and friendly treatment. They were welcoming and the food was vellent
- Ana (8/5): - E equipa responsável é muito prestável e simpática. O conforto do quarto deixa um pouco a desejar.
- Ramaier Balakrishnan (8/5): Lion Rock - The home maker owner lady was very friendly and gave super introduction to the place. Excellent atmosphere. Wonderful collections on garden. The restaurant nearby the property was well managed and fully vegetarian food offered by them was very tasty and super. Do not miss the stay here.
- NFKO (8/5): シギリヤ中心部に近い綺麗なホテル - 良かった点)
スタッフが明るく対応してくれた。
ウェルカムドリンクや紅茶をサービスしてくれた。
アクセスがよくピドゥランガラロックや中心部までトゥクトゥクで五分程度で行けた。
シャワー等も綺麗で温度調節もし易かった。
悪かった点)
蚊帳に穴があいていた。
これは仕方がないが虫が多く、紅茶とともに提供された砂糖入れの中をありが歩いていた。
- Vivek (8/5): Walking distance from Sigiriya - This is a great place to stay if you are looking to visit Sigiriya and nearby Pidurangala. It's literally walking distance from the entrance to the rock! The hotel itself isn't particularly fancy, but the room was clean, airconditiioned and with hot water so it had what I needed. But the restaurant provided a bit extra, with very decent food at reasonable value. I would definitely recommend staying here if you intend to visit the Rock, but it is little out of the way to visit anywhere else without a tuk tuk.
- Sarath (10/5): Best in Sigiriya - This is one of the best , friendly people , walking distance to Sigiriya, Don't miss the breakfast , is the best. Peacocks came to the property in the morning . This is best value for money.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best hotel to visit Sigiriya! - A really nice family-run hotel. We stayed in the upstairs rooms of the family house and ate all our meals in the Green Hut restaurant which is also run by the family next door. We walked about a kilometer to Sigiriya rock and had a nice 3 km walk down country lanes to Pidurangala Rock for another nice hike and views. We also went on a jeep safari to Minneriya National Park. We did not realize that the hotel owner also operates a jeep safari - be sure to ask about it - great time. Overall a fantastic location, excellent hotel that gives you a real taste of country life in Sri Lanka. In the photo, taken from Sigiriya rock, the hotel is the green roof between the big white Buddha and the large grey rock.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Vicinissimo alla roccia di Sigiriya - Hotel e personale molto ospitali,situato in mezzo al verde e molto tranquillo,i proprietari due fratelli persone gentili e professionali...unica pecca troppe formiche nella camere ma in fin dei conti essendo nel verde assoluto nn si può pretendere di più,basta premunirsi di Baigon e tutto si risolve...Grazie
- Verified traveler (8/5): Tranquil stay - We had dinner and breakfast and the food was wonderful. The surrounding area is tranquil. The host were very friendly. However, the room can do with some remodelling.
- いっち (8/5): シギリヤには徒歩圏内 - 部屋は清潔だが、浴室は水の抜けがとても悪かった。従業員の対応は良かった。ホテル付近には、レストランはなく、ホテルで食事を取らなければいけないのは不便。
- René (8/5): Fantastisk oplevelse - Familien (værterne) var helt fantastisk venlige og hjælpsomme. Vi bookede sent til en meget billig pris inkl. morgenmad (€29) og overnattede i et af de gamle værelser. Det var rent men meget simpelt og slidt. Til gengæld var maden (middag/morgenmad) fantastisk god. Alt undtagen toastbrød var hjemmelavet.
- Dominic (8/5): Convenient and friendly - Close to entrance to rock but few restaurants close by. Staff are great, good English and good at organising things. Room was clean, no TV, small balcony, decent bathroom, only got a small thin blanket. Good for the price though.
- irina (10/5): Amasing place to stay! - Great location. View of rock and budda from the roof. Great services. They even give me free head massage and oils for my headache. Thank you so much !
- suga (8/5): Cozy accomodation ゆるーい宿です - (日本語は後述) accomodation is clean and staff is kind and friendly. The place is 15 mins walk from Sigiriya Rock, thus really convenient. There is no restaurant around the hotel, so that u have to take dinner there unless u hire a tour driver. The dinner there is a bit expensive, which costs average Rp 700-900. To wrap up, we really enjoyed the stay there.
改装したばかりで非常に綺麗です。皆さんフレンドリーで気持ちいいです。ご飯食べてても凄くテーブル周りをウロウロするんだけれどたぶん親愛のアクションなんでしょう。食べ物は朝ご飯はスリランカンカレー。夜は近くにレストランなどないのでここで食べましたが一人800rpくらいしたのでちょっと高いと感じました。ケチですみません。あとシギリアロックから徒歩15分くらいでこのためにきた人には交通至便。人工的な明かり全くがなくて星が最高に綺麗です。コスパはいいと思います。あ、お湯はぬるめで水圧も弱め。そこは大目に見ました(笑)
- Verified traveler (6/5): 自然がいっぱい - コテージのような感じで1コテージ4部屋ぐらいの1階に泊まりました。
入ってみると虫がたくさんいて、結構厳しかったです。
ポットがなかったので、調理場の人に言ったら貸してくれました。
周りには自然が多い感じです。
- Verified traveler (10/5): Emplacement idéal . - Trés bon accueil.Personnel aux petits soins de ses hôtes .Restaurant de trés bonne qualité .Calme , juste auprés de l'entrée de Lion Rock et de pidurangula.Vue magnifique sur les deux sommets .
- Elodie (10/5): Super hôtel - Super accueil dans cet hôtel au milieu de la jungle! Les hôtes sont très sympas, toujours prêts à aider ou à renseigner. La nourriture excellente!!! J'y retournerai sans hésiter!!
- King Oi (10/5): - I booked two rooms for me and my driver. The rooms are spacious and clean. Staff are nice. It's good to sit on chair in the garden to enjoy the sounds from nature and gaze at the stars. And it's walkable distance to Sigiriya. I enjoyed my stay in Sinhagiri Villa.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Basic accomodation close to Sigiriya rock - Pro's:
Sriani is a wonderful host who was very welcoming and ready to help. The location is very good, it's very close to Sigiriya rock and you can see the Sigiriya Temple from the villa. Restaurants are a short tuk tuk ride away.
Con's:
It's a very basic room, so you get what you paid for. The pillows weren't very comfortable at all, they are more like small cushions. The hot water and cold water in the shower come out of different shower heads so you can't really adjust it to make the water warm
- Tarsem (Sonia) (10/5): loved staying there - my friends and I stayed at hotel for 2 nights ( April 2017) hotel is operated by couple ( husband and wife) very friendly and helpful, its a quite area, hotel is 10 minutues walking distances from lion rock ( which is the main attraction there) .. I would highly recommend this place
- Буданцев Игорь (10/5): Великолепное место вынуждено быть проходным - В Сигирии долго особо нечего делать, этот замечательный отель вынужден быть пристанищем на 1-2 дня, хотя в нём хочется остаться на дольше. Отличный владелец, прекрасная еда, все стараются как могут!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Bra hotell med perfekt läge för berget - En km från Sri Lankas bästa sevärdhet
- Verified traveler (10/5): - nice place, clean rooms, friendly staff, great food, nice service
- Isabelle (10/5): Rent hotell med fantastisk service - Fantastiskt trevlig personal med god service. De bar våra väskor och lagade god frukost till oss utefter våra önskemål. Rummet var rent och fräscht och vi är nöjda med vårt val.
- Katie (10/5): Convenient and clean hotel - Beautiful villa stay near Sigriya (10 minute walk) with good breakfast and great service
The rooms were comfortable and clean
- Ravi (10/5): Great service, food, property, and price - Great hotel that's pretty well tucked in - so much so that it can be hard to find. The hotel could use more signs to help direct travelers. The staff is phenomenal and really makes their guests feel at home. The food is also great and made to order. The rooms look and feel new. I had an issue with my flight out of Sigiriya and the hotel owner arranged transportation for me to Colombo. A fantastic hotel for the price.
- NOAM (8/5): Best location to visit Sigiriya - Conveniently located 10 minutes walk from the Sigiriya Lion Rock, this lovely family owned hotel is a good break from the ljungle conditions. Our hosts were super friendly and took a good care of us.
- Edward (6/5): It is guest house not hotel - Based on the facilities and breakfast provided, it was disappointing. But good location
- Verified traveler (8/5): great place close to Sigiriya entrance - Owners are kind and accommodating for any needs you may have. Their website is detailed and has clear and fair pricing for any tours or driving you may want/need. their place is a short walk away from the entrance to Sigiriya.
