The owner was so nice, always checking on us that everything was going smoothly. The possibility to sit outside our room and breathe in the peace and quiet of nature, the chirping of the birds... we enjoyed every bit of it. We defenitely recommend the Sigiri Lion Lodge!

A unique place in Sigiriya, managed by lovely people! From the moment we walked in we felt welcome. We got a welcome drink during check in, could get in our rooms a bit earlier than check in time, and the breakfast was amazing. Every morning it was a joy to go to breakfast and try typical Sri Lankan dishes. The hotel is a bit further (10 min walk) from the restaurants, it’s a walk on a dark street, but gives you the beauty of the seeing the stars. Or you can take a tuk tuk :-) Would come back at any time!

Unbelievably located literally right out the front of Sigiriya Rock (only 10min walk to the entrance. Beautiful family who runs the property. They were extremely nice and extremely helpful. Great comfortable clean room, awesome a/c, and a great breakfast. Host father helped us book a tuk tuk for really early in the morning as we wanted to see sunrise up Pidurangala Rock.

Nice new accommodation with the best shower in Sri Lanka so far. But the best part was the great staff that made my girlfriends birthday extra special!

- Perfect host, very attentive but never too much - helped in every situation fair and square - Food was awesome (and plenty so prepare :D ) - Room was clean and comfortable - authentic homestay in the Jungle So we have stayed for 3 nights and it was by far the most welcoming and warm experience we have ever encountered throughout various countries. We were shown around, talked a lot to all the Family and instantly became Friends. The food was superb but since i caught a cold my appetite wasnt so big. Instead i was treated with medicine and steaming hot water to inhale (i didnt order it, the host just noticed my condition and arranged all that) We have been helped also with every inquiry regarding Tours, Safari, privat drivers, u name it and never felt taken advantage of. For us it will be the highlight of our Sri Lanka tour so dont hesitate if you think about staying Here. Do it, it will be a wonderful experience with perfect authentic people.

Great place in great location run by great people. Harsha and his family are amazing, very kind people, always trying to help. The room is brand new and everything is well maintained. Really clean. The food might be the best we have had during our stay in Sri Lanka, specially the dinner.

This treehouse and everything that comes with it was just incredible. We cant imagine better first days in Sri Lanka (nothing can beat this place after we experienced it). Location, surrounding nature and its sounds at night - I haven never slept this good ever in my life. On top of that, the family that owns this place really made us feel at home, their two little girls Dewni and Nethu that spoke beautiful english kept us company and it was fun to be around them. If you love dogs, this place was heaven on earth, they have 5 lovely dogs and one of them little puppy Maxi, we miss all of them already. And last thing - the homemade food - super delicious, the beast we had in Sri Lanka. When we told them we expect a baby, they took care of me as if I was their family member, always made sure I had plenty of food and when driving us to the city with tuktuk, they made sure we hit no bumps on the rode. Thank you again for everything and hope to see you again soon! Sending love to your family, girls and dogs.

Ruan was the most amazing host for this beautiful homestay. We exchanged a lot of stories and had such a great time with him and his family. They cooked amazing food for us, homegrown from their own farm and Ruan sat with us through each meal and we had great conversations with him. Loved out time there and would go back to Sri Lanka only to meet our friend again😊

Amazing people that welcome you into their home stay, making it a very homey place. The food, both breakfast and dinner, was absolutely incredible and best we had throughout our holiday in Sri Lanka. Definitely recommend the curry !! They even organized a last minute elephant safari and trip to Dambulla. The room was very clean with a stunning view from the top. It offers incredible price value for the experience that you get. Would definitely recommend anyone staying in Sigiriya.

Lovely homestay with a very welcoming family. The room was clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was really good and set us up for the day. In the absence of pick me drivers the host even drove us the 30 mins to the train station which was very handy.

It was a wonderful homestay. The host is a woman who has travelled as well and you can chitchat with her on the terrace. The room itself is basic but has everything needed. The bathroom is also basic but has hot water as well.

Would recommend! Great hosts - always helpful and friendly. Tasty breakfast and good location (close to restaurants, the bus & the lions paw). Took the bus to Dambulla for the day, really easy to do.
