The place is exceptional! There is a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere. It is so quiet and peaceful that even when it rains it is very pleasant. The owners are very friendly and helpful, they helped us with transportation and hinted at where to eat. They serve delicious breakfasts. You feel like they take care of the guests and put their heart into what they do. Highly recommend ❤️

The family was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. They provided tuk-tuk rides to various places around Sigiriya, which made exploring the area so convenient. Also, the food they prepared was outstanding. The room was comfortable and cozy. Overall, the value for money was excellent. Highly recommended!

Staying here was such a lovely experience. Kumari and her family were incredibly warm and welcoming—we were greeted with fresh juice as soon as we arrived, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was also amazing. The kottu she made was honestly the best I’ve had in Sri Lanka. The place is calm and surrounded by nature, yet very close to all the main attractions in Sigiriya. The room was very clean, and we had hot water throughout our stay. Don't think twice about booking this place!

We had a fabulous 3nights at Yashi's place which is set in a beautiful garden and is very quiet and relaxing. Harsha and his family are wonderful kind hosts and can help organise anything you need for transportation around Sri Lanka and booking tours etc. Each morning a very generous Sri Lankan breakfast is served with lots of variety and home cooked evening meals are available on request. We highly recommend.

It is a hotel with a very good quality-price ratio. It is located in a very quiet place. The rooms are very spacious and very clean. They overlook a very pretty garden. The breakfast is very good and abundant. We had rice with curry and chicken for dinner there, which was a delight. The staff was very attentive. They picked us up at the station and helped us arrange the motorcycle rental. Very friendly. It's a great place.

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.
