We had a wonderfull time in Sigiriya. Staying at The Cattleya Guest House was great. The rooms are spacious and clean. The breakfast was delicious with traditional dishes, fresh fruit and juices. Also the hosts where amazing as they gave recommendations about where to go and arranged taxis, safaris and tuktuks for us. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Beautiful and comfortable room which was spotlessly clean. Very kind and helpful owners. A short distance away from lion's rock, the owner drove us there early in the morning and we were able to walk back. Delicious breakfast served on our patio. Beautiful gardens, was amazing to relax in the hammocks after the climb up the rock. Restaurants and shops in walking distance.

Wet toilet, while not an issue for us, might not be something many tourists are used to

Lovely location and great hospitality from Ashoka. He served us fresh juice on arrival and breakfast was excellent.

Our room had a lovely open garden where elephants roam at night; with a beautiful hammock for softer moments during the day. Our host was incredibly kind and helpful to lift us to sigiriya rock for our sunrise hike. Bed was comfortable, shower warm. Walking distance to main points of sigiriya rock and main road.

Every detail of my stay was so thoughtfully considered – from the beautiful surroundings to the impeccable service, everything was truly 10/10. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with such warmth and kindness that I instantly felt like part of the family. As a solo traveler, feeling safe and cared for is everything, and this place delivered that in every way. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and it was clear that so much love and attention goes into every aspect of the experience. I feel incredibly lucky to have stayed here and can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s a special kind of place that stays with you long after you’ve left.

Amazing big room. Good shower, nice bed. Massive and great breakfast. Super friendly hosts that help arrange whatever you would need. Nice garden with monkeys, but they don't come bother you. Nice location. Close to Lion Rock and a lot of restaurants in the direct neighbourhood.

First of all: The accommodation is top! Very nice accommodation, modern, very new air conditioning. The view from the room's own terrace is into the beautiful garden. You can see Lions Rock directly from the garden. The in-house breakfast is sumptuous and excellent. Many of the fruits and vegetables come directly from the family's garden. What we particularly liked was the host Ashoka, who fulfilled all our wishes, organized every trip and excursion for us and had many contacts. For example, we went on a great night hike to the Loris at very reasonable prices. We also had a great safari where we saw lots of elephants. We always had friendly and reliable cab drivers / tuktuk drivers organized by Ashoka! All in all, we felt at home and were sad that we hadn't booked more nights. The accommodation is truly a hidden gem! We will definitely be back! Help was also offered for the rest of our trip and we were given some tips and trips were organized. Many thanks for everything!

All was perfect.

The quality of the accomodation is simply sensational. The location, view, comfort, cleanliness, breakfast, attention to detail are top notch. You can see the rock from the garden. Ashoka is the most welcoming and caring host. The breakfast on the patio was really special as monkeys and mongoose paid the visit. :) Totally recommended!

Asoka was incredibly polite and helpful. He helped with recommendations and also hooked us up with a great safari for Eco Lodge. The property is run as a BnB by a family, has a lush green view from the room and the patio and is super clean and comfortable. Breakfast was traditional and plenty for us anyway. There's parking on-site as well. Total recommend. The only thing I would improve is a small partition for the bathroom shower area.

This is a top quality place to stay. The owners take great pride in hosting well and are very attentive. The breakfasts in the morning (extra charge) are superb and delivered to your balcony. The gardens are beautiful and very well kept. We had monkeys observing our every move over breakfast - watch your fruit! Two nights before us, wild elephants were seen in the garden. The owners organised TukTuk rides and our safari tickets for us. The facilities were very modern and clean (there are just two rooms on site, so it is truely a home stay). The stay was very relaxing, I could not recommend it more.

Lovely filling breakfast. Kindness and helpfulness of the owners. Location was great for visiting all the local tourist sites. Ashoka organised everything for us.. taxi from airport, trips to dambulla cave temple, Polonnaruwa, jeep safari to see elephants in eco park, lion rock, the other one, taxi to next accommodation too. All good prices and very enjoyable. They make amazing pineapple smoothies too. Also veranda and garden very pleasant to just sit on and watch nature.

Absolutely nothing - everything was perfect!

Amazing Stay with a wonderful host! Everything about our stay was perfect! Mr. Ashok was very nice and helpful, making us feel right at home. The room was clean and cozy, and the view of Sigiriya rock from the garden was breathtaking. The highlight was the breakfast - the best we've had in all our years of travelling. The variety, the warmth put into it was special. Mr. Ashok also helped us arrange cars for our visit to Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. If you are visiting Sigiriya, stay at Cattleya!

Only slight downfall was the wet room, would be better if they had a brush to get rid of the water faster.

Gorgeous accommodation, a short walk to restaurants / bars & a short drive to either of the Rocks for hiking. Very accommodating owners, great breakfast! Rooms were great, big very comfortable bed. Would recommend!
