    Beautiful place to stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool in the garden was amazing. Great drinks – welcome drink, fresh juices, and a tasty breakfast. Everything was perfect, nothing to complain about!

    Wifi range is limited and was not great at the room we were staying in. Also thin walls, but was not disturbing during our stay.

    Great place in Sigirya with a nice swimmingpool. The family works hard to make your stay the best it can. Would recommend eating here as well, very delicious dinner meals!

    No air con! The bedroom we had with two double beds in it which was upstairs was billed as having air con but it only had two ceiling fans which did not cool the room at all and none of us slept well as it was so hot.

    The location was fab and an easy walk to bars and the Reggae cafe in town. The property was beautiful with a lovely pool and gardens. The owner and his family were really welcoming and the owners mum made us dinner which was delicious and plentiful.

    Everything! Rooms were clean, beds were comfy, shower was powerful, staff were lovely and friendly, breakfast was great, kids loved the pool, and it was walkable to restaurants and supermarket. It was only a few mins away from the rocks. They had tuk tuks if you needed.

    Definitely worth choosing. There is everything you need, plus a pool and amazing staff that will help you with whatever you may need or want. Room is very basic, but you shouldn't be in Sigiriya to spend a lot of time there anyways :)

    We had an amazing stay here. Lal and his family are very kind, welcoming and helpful. The place is perfectly located, all the restaurants are within walking distance and most highlights are only a few minutes away by tuktuk. The breakfast and dinners they provided were delicious. Sweet swimming pool to relax in after some early morning hikes. Lal organized everything we asked for. Among other things: early morning tuktuk rides, transport to Kandy, and a last-minute safari to spot lots of wild elephants, big thanks to our driver/guide as well. Would most definitely stay here again!

    This is a very nice and clean hotel, run by a warm and welcoming family. After climbing Lion Rock, the refreshing swimming pool is the perfect place to relax. You can tell that the owner is passionate about the hotel and eager to invest in its future.

    Our blanket was just a piece of fabric and the mosquito netting had holes in it.

    It was fairly close to the main street and restaurants, the people were nice and helpful, and the food was great.

    The place is really quiet and clean. The host family is super nice and helpful. They have a Tuc Tuc which is available at any time and will drive you where you want. The breakfast was delicious and the optional dinner was even better. It is only 2 minutes Tuc Tuc ride to the next few shops and bars. Would go there again any time.

    The location was wonderful. With many decorative ponds and fish in them. The hostess was very kind, polite, pleasant and very beautiful. The breakfast is excellent, the room is very clean and cool: it was not hot. The hostess showed a river nearby with fish, a bridge and a hammock. We would have happily stayed here longer. I definitely recommend choosing this place and location!
