    Room was basic but had everything that you need for a few nights stay.

    Sarat is an incredible host and went above and beyond when we stayed here and was very attentive! Really comfortable bed aswell. Location is fab just off the main road and easy access to restaurants and about 10 mins walk to viewing of lion rock! Was lovely to be surrounded by the jungle at night especially seeing the monkeys at breakfast. Has a lovely balcony area looking into the jungle too.

    Our rooms could have been together. The three rooms we booked were not next to each other which is what we preferred but this is hardly a dent in the overall stay and experience.

    We had an outstanding stay at Sigiri Rainbow Lodge, which we’d easily rate around 9 to 9.5 out of 10. 1. Unbeatable Location Just a short, picturesque walk from the entrance to Sigiriya Rock (around 1 km), this charming lodge puts you right in the heart of the action. Other key sites like the Sigiriya Museum and Pidurangala Rock are also within easy reach. 2. Spacious & Refreshingly Simple Rooms Our room was refreshingly spacious, clean, and comfortable—with a balcony or patio opening to quiet garden views. The simple décor includes essentials like a desk, a dining area, air conditioning, and thoughtful extras like mosquito nets and free toiletries. 3. Warm, Helpful Hosts The owner and staff were exceptionally friendly and eager to help. 4. Excellent Value & Breakfast We felt the pricing offered true value. They offered breakfast at 7:30 AM but as ours was a short stay and had other plans, we had to skip breakfast. 5. Pleasant Amenities & Atmosphere The property features a lovely garden, outdoor seating, and a calm ambiance—almost like staying in a jungle retreat. Despite feeling tucked away, it’s still very close to local attractions and dining options.

    Excellent Stay — Highly Recommended!

    Surroundings: This is not a discomfort, but something to keep in mind: you are surrounded by nature. Throughout the day, you'll hear birds and other animals, which adds to the charm. In the early morning, if your room is on the upper floor, you might even hear monkeys running across the roof — a unique and memorable experience!

    Everything was just perfect! Staff: The staff members were truly wonderful — kind, helpful, and thoughtful at every step. They made me feel welcome and well taken care of throughout my stay. Cleanliness: Top hygiene! The entire room was spotless — from the walls and floors to the cupboards, bed, bathroom, and toilet. Everything looked freshly cleaned and well-maintained. Comfort: There was running hot water at all times, and the air conditioning kept the room comfortably cool, even during the hotter parts of the day. Safety & Atmosphere: As a solo traveler, I felt safe and at home here. The warm environment and respectful staff really made a difference. Overall: An excellent experience. Clean, comfortable, and supported by genuinely kind staff. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

    the property is new and has a nice outside area, it is set off the main street so it feels as if you are in the jungle but conveniently situated close by to all the main attractions and restaurants.

    Great location that's really easy to get to key activities like Pidurangala Rock and Sigiriya for sunrise. The room was quiet and as per the description/images. There is an excellent restaurant across the road (Liya Restaurant) which I would highly recommend for breakfast/dinner!

    Super nice owner! The rooms are clean and decent (make sure you get the ones with AC though since not all of them have AC). When we arrived, no double room with AC was available so the owner gave us a family room instead for the same rate which was great. The breakfast was very good and copious!

    There was a bit of confusion during the check in process as I was initially given a room I didn’t book. I expressed to the owners that wasn’t the room I booked and they checked their system and quickly remedied the matter. Other than that, everything was perfect.

    I loved this room. One of the best rooms I’ve stayed in thus far, in Sri Lanka. Very spacious and extremely comfortable. It was a super convenient location as everything was within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again. The owners were nice and accommodating. It was such a quiet and serene place. I highly recommend it.

    Sarat goes above and beyond to take care of his guests. The level of care was truly remarkable. Breakfast is excellent. Rooms were spacious, property was beautiful, and you really can't get much closer to town/Sigiriya.

    We understood that we were going to be staying at very basic accommodations, but the room we had looks nothing like the pictures. It really needs some paint touch ups and some bathroom improvements.

    The location is perfect! You won't be disappointed if you order the breakfast. The price is great, as long as you keep in mind you get what you pay for. The owner is wonderful and really helpful, he will arrange different experiences for you, and give you lots of suggestions to fill your time.
