    It was a work in progress, still some building works going on around, but not a real issue.

    Great view of the lake! One of the most comfy beds we stayed in and everyone really helpful.

    They are building a lot and it will be very beautiful, but now you need to do it with what they have. But that is also already nice

    Setting some context here that im absolutely shattered and everybody here wakes up before sunrise for that beautiful viewpoint. This has the effect that if you try and sleep in, youre going to get woken up. It seems there was construction at the location which started at 6 or 7am, I imagine this will be complete in the next couple of weeks. You could also hear dogs barking/fighting at 3am (not at the hotel) which woke me up, not the hotels fault by any means and would/could happen anywhere.

    Sitting on the balcony in the sigirya night time was just incredibly peaceful and feels like your in a jungle of some sort. Staff were extremely helpful and I got a welcome drink which I cant remember the name of but tasted unbelievable. Unfortunately I didnt catch the sunrise but the couple staying in the next room did and showed me photo's which looked incredible. Its also incredibly close to the sigirya rock.

    - Would be nice id the washroom door can be closed from the outside ( from the room). It kept on opening because the lock is broken. - if it's possible to find a way to reduce the noise of the connected rooms. Can literally here everything someone talks or does in the other room.

    Loved everything about it. - The rooms were nice and clean. - The washroom is big. - The food at the restaurant was decent and nice. - Very friendly team and always ready to support - The location is very convenient to both the rocks. - Walkable distance to the main town as well and slightly far from the main town so you don't hear alot of noise except for nature

    Good location to explore Sigirya (you can walk) and Pidurangala (8 minutes by tuk tuk). You can hear a lot of animals at night, which was very cool. AC worked, bathroom was fine and the staff helpful. You can eat dinner directly at the lodge which is nice because it is a bit further away from the town.

    No mosquito net over the bed. The smell coming from the bathroom was horrendous. Anytime we flushed the toilet the water pressure messed up for 20 minutes.

    Bedrooms were nice, location is great, 200m from Lion Rock entrance.

    Food was standard for Sri Lanka. The place had building work going on around our cabin which was a bit noisy.

    Location is great. About 20 minutes walk to the lion rock. Lovely viewpoint of the rock on the grounds (both during the day and at sunrise) and a very peaceful location. Staff were very friendly and gave us a nice lift to Dambulla afterwards. Deluxe cabins were very nice and new.

    The food is fine, nothing exceptional.

    The value of this accommodation stands in its location. The view point at only 2 min walking is amazing. The sunrise on both Lion’s rock and Pidurangala was exceptional. The rooms are made of wood and peculiarly nice. The staff is willing to help you and organize your next steps.

    It’s fine if you know what to expect (and adds to the fun!) but it is in the middle of the jungle so the power may go out and the water may run out. Wouldn’t recommend eating here - there was a road with lots of restaurants on around the corner. Also lots of building going on on the property so not always peace and quiet to enjoy the jungle noises.

    Excellent location, easy walk to the base of lion’s rock ( especially good if you’re planning on doing the sunrise hike as it will be dark). We stayed in a treehouse which was really fun, amazing views. Comfortable bed.
