    Excellent place to cut off from the world!

    The weather was hot which made the room heat up and resulted in discomfort, despite a fan in the room.

    Quiet place with basic amenities to make for a good stay in the forest. Absolutely cut off from network (with poor wifi connectivity), which was peaceful and helped me connect with people around, but made planning for the trip slightly difficult.

    Nothing.

    Very nice family. Very helpful and caring. The room was big and with air conditioning for the first night, which was awesome, only issue is we found a frog on the shower and red ants on the WC several times, having to manually remove them for they would bite you if you sat. They then changed us to a tree house which was really cute and with a beautiful bathroom, only it didn’t have air conditioning. But breakfast was good and they even cooked dinner for us. It was cheap and very good!

    The A/C in the room was good but unfortunately didn't cover the whole room. But only a small thing and we were able to make it work anyway by moving the bed closer to the fan.

    This was a wonderful home stay with Gerry and his family. They were all so lovely and accomodating. A welcome drink upon arrival was a very nice touch. I got food poisoning on our last night (from a different location) and they allowed us to stay in the room on checkout day free of charge until I felt better. Gerry also offered to drive us to the local doctor. The location is also very close by (within walking distance) to Pidurangala Rock and local scenic lakes. Lion's Rock is also just a short tuktuk drive away. Would highly recommend staying here for an authentic Sri Lankan experience and brilliant hospitality.

    Jerry was really kind, thank you for evrything. I recomend this as a nice expirience to spend a night in a tree house right next to Sigiria and Pidurungala, also you can take light lamp and try to find some animals in the night just near the accomodation.

    This is the perfect place to stay for a simple, budget friendly but private option supporting a local family. Lovely, relaxed location out of the main town but close to Pidurangala rock. Room was clean and had a fan which was nice. The owner is the most wonderful, warm person always catering for your needs. She gave me free cake and offered water every time I went out. Delicious breakfast too.

    The place wasn't as quiet as I hoped. In the evening you hear the music from a nearby restaurant and the traffic from the road.

    Very friendly and welcoming family. The tree huts are big and comfortable.

    Could be nice to add mosquito net at the window because without difficult to refresh the room even if mosquito nets above the double beds (not above the single one). Poor light

    Very nice staff, quiet area, walking distance from the pidurangala rock/temple Good food I booked 2 rooms and ask them to make sure they were close to each other's due to presence of 3 young kids. We ended up with 2 connected rooms which was very nice

    it’s a bit far out from the rest of Sigirya so you’ll need 10-15mins in a TukTuk to access restaurants and shops.

    Very clean, spacious and comfortable room for an affordable price. The AC works perfectly as does the shower, 2 things that aren’t certain in many other rooms that i’ve stayed in. very kind, jolly and helpful family that provide you with a good breakfast. They also arrange TukTuks for you that arrive very quickly that charge a fair rate that is less than an Uber. Walking distance from Pidurangala Rock.

    Location was perfect close to Sigiriya Lion Rock and Pidurangala for sunrise walk. Host were fantastic. They picked us up from the airport in Colombo and drove us to Kandy via Dambulla Caves, Sri Lanka Centre Point and Herbal Gardens. Breakfast was sensational and only a short tuk tuk ride into town. Highly recommend.
