Reviews of Sigiri Neo Homestay

Very comfortable bed and tasty home cooked food. We loved staying with this family, we were hosted very well. They organised trips in tuk tuk to see caves and rock and safari was excellent.

Location was a little out of town, but easy to walk in the day or they will organise their tuk tuk to pick you up.

A peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, this family-run homestay was a real gem. The accommodation was simple but comfortable, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The home-cooked food was delicious—hearty and full of local flavour. The highlight was the family-run safari: well-organised, personal, and unforgettable. A perfect blend of comfort, nature, and genuine hospitality.

Had a lovely stay at Sigiri Neo Homestay. The family is very kind and the food was absolutely delicious! We went on safari with their son and we saw lots of elephants. The family was super welcoming and it was really nice to see all the animals that live there as well. Would 100% recommend as it was the highlight of our trip!

The family was lovely! We had dinner there, we chose the rice and curry option and it was amazing. We also booked our safari here which was such a good day!

Nothing.

Family first, hospitality from the heart, every detail thought out with lots of love. We will definitely be back!

What an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed by the family who runs this place. They were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to help us with everything we needed – from organizing a safari with the big brother and his jeep (just the three of us, making it a personal and unforgettable experience) to providing transportation (including a convenient tuk-tuk service), food, coffee, and water at a very reasonable price. They even assisted with laundry service, which was a huge help during our stay. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the dinner was both tasty and affordable – definitely a highlight of our stay. The family’s hospitality made all the difference, and we truly felt like we were part of their family. A few things to note: the rooms can get hot, and there’s no air conditioning – just a fan, which might not be enough during hotter days. Also, since you're in the jungle, expect to encounter mini-lizards and frogs in the room, which is part of the charm and natural environment. Overall, we had a fantastic time and will definitely be coming back in the future. Highly recommended for those looking for an authentic and affordable stay with amazing service, and the safari, tuk-tuk, and laundry services are definite bonuses!

We really enjoyed staying here as the family leading the Homestay is very nice and hospitable. We spend nice time chit chatting with them. Location is great and for this price I don't think we could find better. We took a room with AC what was very comfortable. Local breakfast was good and abundant. Served on the tarrace so we could enjoy nature in the meantime.

The room could be refreshed. The conditions were far from the hotel standards but it was clean and bed was comfortable so we don't regret.

A very friendly family which is very helpful and good in organizing trips having wonderful food and hospitality

The prices for the food was not mentioned… should have a list or prices written somewhere

Sigiri Neo Homestay is the best place I've been in a long time,located in a lush green and quiet area. Nihal and all his family are superfriendly and helpful people.They do the best to make you feel at home. The breakfasts and dinners cooked by Nihal's wife are delicious. Highly recommanded!

Everthing was fine.

Good location, very welcoming host and everything was perfect

everything was ok

So if you really want a proper sri Lanka experience i highly recomand this family. They are just great. She will cook for you fresh sri lankan food every day and you will feel like home. The kids are funny and you can play different games with them. We love them and we will come back for sure in the future.

Family was super friendly and the kids took me to swim and showed me some cool places. I ate dinner at the homestay everyday and the food was amazing 😋

Room was moist and there was weird smell and all my stuff catched that smell also I think the activities and food was bit expensive

A homestay that feels like family. Excellent food, they took us to cool places, always helpful. A humble accomodation in a small eden they call their garden. Really recommend to experience Sri Lanka at its best.

their hospitality

no bucket available in washroom

Owner was very nice and bought us drinks while speaking to us about the local area and where to go. Air con was a blessing

If you want to see the heart of Sri Lanka stay here. The family that runs this room are the most loving and friendly people you'll meet in all of Sri Lanka. We wish we stayed longer to spend more time with them. The food cooked was absolutely spectacular. They have so many beautiful creatures they rescue and care for. What an amazing treat it was to interact with all the animals. The father gave us rides and helped us arrange sightseeing. The room was clean and comfortable. The shower got HOT which was amazing.

The only thing I recommend staying away from is the "massage nature medicine shop" down the road. The family took us there as a morning activity and they are very unaware that it's a scam but it is 100%. They were so kind to offer something and take us. We do not blame them at all! If you do go do not buy anything it's not at all natural and they're charging HUGE prices for things you buy cheap from a drug store.

Nice family, close to ten jungle, ask hosts for jeep safari ;) amaizing time ;)

Very good price-performance ratio. A simple and very clean accommodation, very suitable for 2 nights in Sigiriya. The hosts are also very nice.
