Beautiful rooms, new furnishings inside. The owner Dinusha is very kind, the staff is honest and good, Sunshine Villa really made Sigiriya a beautiful destination. They picked us up at Colombo airport and picked us up safely. In the evening they took us to see elephants at Minneriya National Park. They also had a night safari planned to see the night beauty of Sigiriya. Luckily for us, Sunshine Villa was the place to stay. We had a great experience. I recommend it 100%.

We had a wonderful stay at this unique accommodation right in the middle of the jungle! With rooftop viewpoints, a tranquil pool, and outstanding service, this place truly offers a special experience. Even though it's located a bit off the beaten path, the atmosphere more than makes up for it—you might not want to leave at all. The included breakfast was so generous it practically lasted us all day. In the evening, there was a great selection of local and Western dishes made with high-quality ingredients (though portions were on the smaller side). The peaceful pool area was perfect for unwinding, and the staff really took Sri Lankan hospitality to the next level. Occasional evening power fluctuations were handled smoothly with a temporary diesel generator, but it switched off well before bedtime, leaving only the soothing jungle sounds. For mobile work, this place may not be ideal—the Wi-Fi relies on a mobile connection, which wasn't strong enough for demanding online tasks. But for a relaxing holiday segment in Sri Lanka, this place gets our full recommendation! We arrived by public bus from Kandy, changing at Dambulla, and then took a Tuk Tuk from the Sigiriya bus stop to the accommodation for 1000 rupees. During our stay, we rented a scooter in Sigiriya, while other guests used rental Tuk Tuks to get around.

Couldn't have imagined a better homestay. The host family is super welcoming, will go above and beyond to make you feel truly at home. Especially amazing were the sri lankan dinner and breakfast. If you want truly authentic experience, you have to visit. Truly lovely place, wish we stayed a lot longer!

Location was around very scenic calm and country side surrounded by lakes and rice fields. The property was adequately maintained but rain was kind of bummer. Couldn’t use swimming pool because of continuous rain. The owner was kind enough to drop us to sigiriya rock and pick us back from restaurant. Also dropped us to bus station in morning. Breakfast was of good quality and more than enough quantity with lot of varieties. They also made tea for us several times during our stay. Overall very friendly and welcoming host! You should definitely stay specially in good sunny weather!
