If we really have to find something, I would say that the beds are comfy, they put on them more local and colorful bedding, but the part that is underneath can go away if you move to much and then you are directly on the bare mattress. Bigger fabric would be ideal.

We were so warmly welcomed by Suriya and his sweet family. You feel completely at home! It is a perfect opportunity to be immersed in the Sri Lankan culture and kindness. The view from the rooms and the garden is stunning. You have some hammocks to chill looking at the Sigiriya Rock. It is near to many restaurants so you can walk to go to a for lunch or dinner or have a delicious meal prepared by Suriya’s wife. They even proposed a cooking lesson for us and our children one night: it was a beautiful experience. Suriya’s does everything he can to make your stay special : he took our children to a wood carving workshop, he took us to an Ayurvedic spa, and also demonstrated his incredible skills carving a watermelon and vegetables : quite a show! He also organized our taxis and took us with his Tuktuk to our activities and also to Dambulla. The rooms are very clean, the beds are confortable , you have AC, mosquito net, and the place is very calm. If you want a more authentic experience I recommend you to go there if you visit Sigiriya.

Absolutely exceptional stay! The host made us feel like family—warm, helpful, and incredibly attentive. He prepared a delicious dinner, probably the best curry I have ever had, arranged our day trips and transport, and shared great local tips. In the evening, we enjoyed a demonstration of how the make beautiful fruit and vegetable carvings—what a lovely touch!

The place to be in Sigiriya! Small family business with attention to every detail. The rooms are clean, spacious, there is everything you need. The delicious breakfast is served on the terrace overlooking lion rock and a little garden. They are really friendly and are available for transportation or any kind of advice to explore the area. Location is central. Highly recommended!

I stayed here for one night as a solo traveler and had a super comfortable experience. The view from the hotel was really nice and peaceful. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the staff were very kind and helpful. Since I was traveling alone, they really took care of me and helped me with everything I needed. I felt safe and welcomed. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a short and relaxing stay! 10/10 🤩🤩👍👍

Amazing stay in a quiet area, yet very close to shops, restaurants and main sights. The room was big, cosy, well-furnished and clean. There is a sitting area outside the room with peaceful garden with a view of the Lion’s rock. No neighbours, just pure nature! The host Suriya with his wife were very warm and welcoming, made sure we had everything we needed during our stay and gave us good suggestions regarding our programme. They also offer home-cooked dinner with sri lankan’s dishes, everything tasty. The overall experience was delightful. 😊

The location of the homestay was fantastic, with stunning views of the Lion Rock and close to many cultural attractions in the Cultural Triangle. The host was always available and took great care of us. The food was excellent and varied. We also appreciated the host's helpful information about the sights and transfers, and the fact that he even offers tour with his own tuk-tuk.

This was a magical homestay. The hosts are warm and welcoming and go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and have a good experience in Sigiriya. Suriya has a tuktuk, which makes it easy to get around, and it is well worth the reasonable extra cost to enjoy Sunathra’s exceptional cooking. I visited over the Avurudu holiday and Suriya and Sunathra invited me to join their friends and family walking to Lion’s Rock, and later Suriya set off firecrackers for the guests’ children. I recommend it to anyone looking to experience an unforgettable slice of life in a beautiful village. And as a solo female traveler, I felt very safe. The room and bathroom were very clean with all the basic amenities you’d need, the tables outside overlooked a lovely garden with a tall field beyond, and a perfect view of Lion’s Rock beyond. Safe and easy walking distance to several village restaurants and an easy 20min walk to Lion’s Rock entrance. Suriya is eager to facilitate experiences in the area, whether taking you to the Ayurvedic medicinal garden or the Village Safari, or to hike Pidurangula Rock. However, he is very respectful if you have firm plans already.

The location is peaceful, but a short distance away from local restaurants and cafes, although there is always the possibility of a ride with the owner's tuk tuk.

A lovely homestay visit. Siriya and his wife are very keen to help and offer suggestions for the local area. We did not need to take up the offer, however, as we had our own driver. It is a peaceful location with an excellent view of Lion's Rock and lovely hammocks to relax into. The accommodation is at the back of Siriiriya's home. Our room was equipped with fans, air-conditioning, and mosquito net. Breakfast included fresh fruit and cooked Sri Lankan style dishes. We also had a lovely home cooked evening meal. After a fall on the way down from Lion's Rock, S iriya and his wife were so helpful in providing a full medical kit.

We spent two nights in this lovely homestay to visit Sigiriya. The Sri-lankan/western breakfast was delicious! Amazing view from the garden terrace and a very friendly family to stay with.

I had a wonderful stay at this family-owned home stay in Sigiriya. The host's hospitality was outstanding, he was genuinely attentive and proactively offered assistance and suggestions for exploring the area. A significant highlight was the location, which provided a stunning, unobstructed view of Lion's Rock, adding a magical element to the experience. The meals prepared were excellent, showcasing authentic Sri Lankan flavors. Dinner and breakfast were both a testament to the quality of their home cooking. I highly recommend this home stay for a personal and memorable experience, especially for those wanting to wake up to a breathtaking view

I had a wonderful stay at this homestay! The place was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. The hosts were incredibly friendly and always willing to help with anything I needed. I felt truly welcomed and well taken care of throughout my stay. One of the best parts was that the host had a tuk-tuk, so he could take me to my destinations for a small fee. It made exploring the area so much easier! The breakfast was delicious and freshly prepared, a perfect start to the day. And the view from the garden was simply breathtaking – a stunning panorama of Lion Rock that made my stay even more special. I would recommend this homestay to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for such a nice experience!

Suriya and his wife are the most welcoming hosts ever! They made our stay very special and accommodated everything for us - Suriya helped us by organising pick up from Colombo airport, as well as organise day trips from Sigiriya. He drove us around in his tuk-tuk and his wife cooked dinner for us one day. The host was always available on Whatsapp 24/7 and when my luggage got lost at the beginning of our holiday he went out of his way to support me in getting it back. He always ensured the safety of his guests and was super kind and hard-working. The rooms were super clean and the view was great. Don’t hesitate to stay there for an authentic experience with this warm family! Thank you for everything!

Nothing

Wow, we absolutely loved our stay at Sigirya Palace View homestay. Suriya (our host) and his wonderful family went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The breakfast was amazing and when asked to provide lunch and dinner, these meals were also incredible. Ahead of our stay I contacted Suriya to let him know that in our travelling family were three gluten free people and one vegan, him and his wife cooked up incredible food to cater for us (changing the meal everyday). Suriya also was incredible in facilitating our activities, providing expert advice and Tuk Tuk transportation to Pidurangala, Dambulla and Sigirya. The rooms are incredibly comfortable and well provisioned with a large washroom! One of the biggest pluses was the garden, it is an amazing place to relax in a hammock after an early start climbing either little or big rock, you can spend a whole afternoon chilling with an incredible view of Lion Rock! Couldn’t recommend enough.

In my room which was not facing the garden there was no WLAN reception.

Best stay in Sri Lanka! The family is lovely, takes care of all your needs and the ladies of the house are excellent cooks. I was greeted with fresh juice. The garden offers a great feel-good and relaxing atmosphere. The beds are comfortable and you are safe from insects under the mosquito net. The host was very helpful and organised a safari and a trip to the next town for me. He also has his own tuktuk and can organise excursions with guests. The room is basic, but large and very clean. Also the communication on WhatsApp before, during and after my stay was perfect!
