Incredible! This place is a hidden gem in Sigiriya, we wanted to stay longer but it was fully booked. The room had everything you need, very clean and comfortable. The swimming pool is amazing and the view is fantastic. Don’t miss your chance, it’s a rare find.

Breakfast was excellent: a lot of different dishes, tea, coffee, milk and lemonade. For one person it’s more than enough. The staff is very friendly, the owner helps every time for each guests with transportation, excursions and transport to the dinner on dark time - because it’s dangerous to be on a road after 11 pm due to elephant attack. I really like this place - the location is very close to lion rock, you can get it by step. the room has soap, shampoo, mini bar for extra money - tea, coffee and sugar. the light in room is good, conditioner working, mosquitoes blanket is present. The hotel’s garden is very beautiful. I spent nice time in the Rate Sigiri Rock Side Home Stay!!!

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%.

Great brand new hotel with spacious rooms and a nice pool to cool down after climbing up the rocks. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful, they gave us advice on where to eat/drink and arranged transportation at a very reasonable price. The breakfast is excellent, you cannot eat it all. We were served fruits and freshly squeezed fruit juice, then omelette and next pancakes/local specialty halaba. Also, if you go up the road leading to the hotel you’ll see the fields and a nice lake, perfect location when you’d like to get a break from the tourist crowds

The Nature Park Villa was a great place to stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the location was great. The pool was a welcome relief to the heat and the relaxing area around was so lovely. They were able to arrange transfers before and after getting there and any trips we wished to do. Highly recommend staying here.

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.

Beautiful place to stay, just a bit off of the main road. So all the pleasures of being close by to everyone, yet nice and quiet. The owner and his crew form a wonderful team and will ensure you're experiencing everything that Sigiriya has to offer. From taking you on a beautiful safari to drop offs and pick ups anytime anywhere. Ooh yes, and not to forget, the pool! Many thanks for a lovely stay!

This is the place to stay for Nature lovers... walking on the vast open grounds with beautiful trees and green surrounding, next to the lake with a variety of birds. But be careful of monkeys. Location is close to the ancient cultural sites. Minneriya is also not far for elephant safari. Ayurvedic massage was a great choice - reviving and relaxing.

The perfect place to stay for Pidurangala Rock as its only a 5 minute walk to the start of the path up to the top. Also very close if doing Sigiriya rock. The room was super clean with comfy bed and excellent AC. The included breakfast was wonderful and nothing was too much of an ask for the host. Amazing hospitality!

The room is great, it has everything you need. But the important thing here is: i’ve travelled a lot and i’ve been in different places and stays. This one has been my best experience by far. Mahesh has treated me like one of its kind. He has show me around, met all his family, took me to different dinners with his friends… I’ve never felt and lived such a good and local experience.
