I’m in love with this place, it has everything you need, it is super beautiful, spacious, calm, the best view to the rocks, how kind the owner is, always arranging everything for you, and super close by the lion rock entrance. I’m more than grateful 🙏🏼 Honestly, It has been one of the best places I have stayed in the last 10 years travelling the world 🙏🏼✨

If you're looking for an authentic Sri lankan experience and wanna be treated more as a friend rather than a guest, choose Jungle Host Hostel. Chooti and Diva - the hosts, took good care of me and showed me some secret places around. We had so much fun spotting elephants at night, watching plenty of sunsets and sunrises. I think I also learned a lot about the Sinhala culture cause it was a bit like a Couchsurfing experience. I met some great travellers in the hostel! It was definitely my best stay in Sri Lanka and I'm grateful for that. The rooms are also very nice and clean.

The nicest hosts during our two weeks in Sri Lanka. This is a nice, clean and well equipped accommodation (AC, hair dryer, drinking water, soap, etc.) in the middle of the jungle. The family is very kind and helpful. They made us a delicious dinner and Sri Lankan breakfast. For the dinner we could choose from a menu and everything was home cooked. They also waited us with a welcome drink (smoothie). They have an outdoor kitchen in their courtyard and spice garden, where cooking classes are held. Highly recommend this place for a few nights!

A homestay with one room for travellers. (There is a second for drivers.) The facility is one year old (March 2025). Spacious neat room and new bathroom. A terrace with an outdoor lounge, with a lot of plants and decoration from local craft. The host Samanti has made much effort to make a cosy place of the homestay. Very quiet place - you hear only the sound of birds. Tea, coffee and drinking water the whole day. Extensive and delicious breakfast and dinner. The husband is also tuktukdriver. Both are very friendly, sincere and caring. They make the house to a little paradise in Sigiriya.

How peaceful and quiet the place was, surrounded by nature. Everyone who was working was really friendly and even with the location being a bit out the way was no trouble getting any help in ordering transportation. Breakfast was good and rooms are very spacious and comfortable.

Nestled in a lush, tropical garden setting, Cloudz Sigiriya provides a wonderfully serene escape. What truly sets this place apart is the impeccable, personalized service; the attentive staff go above and beyond to make your stay special. Our modern cabana was flawless, featuring a comfortable King Size Bed and the fantastic, unique open-air shower—taking a shower under the stars, a clear highlight of our trip! We spent hours relaxing on the sunbeds by the large pool. The food is great - lots of Choice for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner including Typical Local Cuisine and more Western Choices (Eggs Benedict, Avocado Toast, Pad Thai). Highly recommend this distinctive and peaceful stay near Sigiriya!

I spent 2 nights at Elegant elephant and i really enjoyed the place. It's quite, surrounded by nature and the view of the rock from the room is really nice in the morning. The whole place is clean and well maintained. Beds in the room are really comfortable, one of the most comfortable beds in Sri Lanka for me. Owners are also very friendly people, willing to make your stay as good as possible. The food they made for me was absolutely delicious and in big portions. Also, I appreciated the place has WiFi. I recommend this place !

Amazing location, the hotel incorporates the setting beautifully. The staff are very friendly, efficient and helpful. The room was very clean, in touch with nature. The special extras such as slippers, dressing gown and iron was a bonus. The facilities were lovely such as the gym, table tennis and pool table. Didn't have the time to try out the pool unfortunately. Would recommend this hotel.

There is a new manager who has recently started making improvements. However, it is already a very good place to stay. The rooms are extremely large, featuring balconies and spacious bathrooms. Everything is very clean. The pool is also very nice and is cleaned several times a day. The location is a great base for day trips. Enjoy a delicious breakfast in the restaurant.

Location is great, silent in the middle of the Jungle while feeling safe and super comfortable. Room was very big, spotless, big wide comfortable beds, perfect AC, spacious bathroom... Breakfast was good as well as dinner. Hosts are extremely kind and it's a pleasure to chat with them as their English is very good.
