Featuring a terrace with garden views, a garden and a shared lounge, Sigiri Lion Lodge can be found in Sigiriya, close to Sigiriya Rock and 4.6 km from Pidurangala Rock. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house features parking on-site, a sauna and a 24-hour front desk. Probably the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka (out of 9 places). We felt the most comfortable here – everything was nice, clean, and cozy, in a lovely location. You can walk to Lion's Rock. Great breakfast and incredibly kind owners who were always willing to help. Thank you for an amazing stay!

This 2-star homestay offers a 24-hour front desk and full-day security. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. From the minute I arrived at the home stay I felt instantly welcomed. The owners are incredibly helpful and arranged a safari and cooking class for me. The son Praneeth then was my driver for the next few days and it made my trip perfect. The breakfast is plentiful and delicious, and the welcome drink yum. The room is super comfortable and clean and has a mosquito net and hot water! The home stay is also the walking distance to lion rock which makes it super easy to get to. I cannot thank everyone at Saman Home stay enough for making my trip so memorable!

Towels and bed linen are available in the homestay. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and soundproofing.

The homestay specialises in a continental and Full English/Irish breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. As an added convenience, Pidurangala View Treehouse offers packed lunches for guests to bring on excursions and other trips off-property. I loved sleeping in a forest-like environment. I really missed it, and this treehouse was a lovely stay in that regard. The noise/sounds/music from the forest at night is the best. We really enjoyed everything: the treehouse, the view on the rock, the Loris tour at night, the breakfasts/lunches/dinners, and the simple but clean facilities, the safari... Make sure to discuss with the host about the different activities you can do around the rock (time, price, etc.). The host will help you out the best that he can, including dropping you at 5am at the bottom of the rock if necessary! Very kind family, business encouraged, I would come back there 100%.

Set within 17 km of Sigiriya Rock and 20 km of Pidurangala Rock, Hotel Hanguk Villa offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Dambulla. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. All rooms come with a patio with views of the mountain. Villa Hanguk is an ideal spot if you plan to explore the Dambulla area. The owner is incredibly helpful, offering assistance with scooter or tuk-tuk rentals and organizing local trips. The villa is nestled just 400 meters from the main city street, surrounded by lush paddy fields. The beautifully maintained garden is filled with vibrant plants and flowers, offering plenty of cozy spots to relax—whether in a hammock, at a dining area, or playing table games. Being in the middle of nature, you can expect the delightful sounds of wildlife, including peacocks. It truly adds to the charm of the place. One of the highlights of our stay was the Sri Lankan food. The meals were not only delicious but also generously portioned. I highly recommend skipping outside restaurants and instead asking the staff to prepare dinner for you—you won’t be disappointed!
