Reviews of Sigiriya Mana B&B

The hosts were very lovely people, very welcoming and helpful for organising activities. Highly recommend staying here!

It is too close to Sigiriya Rock.

The garden

A lot. The room was disgusting. There was open electricity in the bathroom. Also there was animal poop beneath the shower. We had a frog in the room but we heard that was normal. The host was sweet, but a bit to much. No was not an answer and we felt really uncomfortable. When we arrived he wanted to bring us with a tuktuk. For us a good lesson to always discuss a price. We payed a lot for the tuktuk and for a simple vegetable Kottu at his place. Also the breakfast was not enough. Because of the nice reviews we wanted to stay at the place. But he wanted that people only review with a 10. If you won't review it with a 10, than he doesn't want you to place something. Well, that was a trap for us. So please be honest when you stay here. We left a day earlier than planned.

Amazing place, clean, in a beautiful garden. Very specious rooms, clean, bathroom also. Owners are amazing 😍 super friendly and supportive. Love it! We will go back

The kindness and welcoming of the host. Enough amount of private space to enjoy your stay and absolutely comfortable area outside for meals or having a relaxing moment for yourself. Amount of food was huge, also delicious. Always ready to help.

We stayed there just for one night. There is an older and newer part of the accommodation set in a garden. We first booked the cheaper older one but changed as we were there and saw the newer part quickly. For a budget accommodation all was ok. But the bedsheets, towels and covers should be upgraded. They were clean but sometimes with stains. Dinner was ok and for breakfast we received what we asked for.

Fabulous location with good birdlife especially in the early evening plus the bats. Also spotted a mongoose and monkeys. Very good WiFi. Enjoyed sitting out on the verandah. A few good restaurants within a 10 minute walk.

The bathroom tap was annoying as the whole faucet moves, probably an easy fix. Breakfast was rather disappointing compared to other homestays. Even a banana would be appreciated with the dry hoppers.

Mana was a lovely friendly kind and very helpful host!! He has some great recommendations for the area and also offered us transport by tuk tuk , car and jeep. His wife made us a delicious local breakfast which we loved!! The property was also in a calm peaceful located which was a dream to wake up to in the morning!! The room was clean, was well air conditioned and has a comfy bed. Would 100% recommended staying here!!

The property is located in the beautiful wild jungle. The room was really comfortable and clean. Breakfasts were very delicious and host was really helpful and warm welcoming.

Location Value for price

Nothing

Four of us stayed. My parents, me and my wife. Room sizes were decent. Bed were comfortable. Had Mosquito nets. The host and his family were helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was okay. Portion was not the best in Sri Lanka. Location was close to the Sigiriya Lion rock but that did not matter since we had our own rented car. Wifi was the best, literally the best. I did not have any better wifi in Sri Lanka and not even in the cities. The router was in our room and the speed was close to 178-200 mbps. The room was in a jungle like setting and the morning was wonderful. The morning energy was very calming and meditative. You can wake up early morning, read something and enjoy the village setting.

We did not inquire about the price of dinner prior to ordering and before leaving we were charged 1300 per person. The dinner was fried rice which did not even have 100gm chicken and few pieces of carrots. It was a rip-off. So, do not order dinner without discussing the menu and price. Yes, the bathroom had four resident frogs which scared my wife. But I guess this is normal in such a place. And when we told that to the owner, he said that he did not wanna use poisons on these creatures. They came right after we took a shower. They would sit on the toilet. It was not the best experience. The toilet flush was not working in our room. The bathroom can have improvements. And the room light was dim.

very beautiful place, close to everything, very nice service

My partner and I had the best stay at Mana b&b. Mana and his wife are super friendly and made us feel very welcome. They provided us with delicious home cooked meals and helped arrange tours and transport during our stay.

The room was dark and smelled really bad.

Very affordable, nice family, had a mosquito net for the bed

There were frogs in the bathroom and shower situation wasn't great too.

We were very surprissed about how confortable and nice was the place. The room was big and had a very nice porch with shade and with your own table were you can relax while listening to the birds and watching all the nature that surrounds the place. It is a small paradise in the middle of the Sigiriya countryside. Moreover it is very close to the main sights , but if you dont feel like walking 1 kilometer to the Sigiriya rock, the owners have a tuk tuk and they offer you good prices to take you here and there any time you need it. The breakfast was homemade and very tasty. We also had lunch there and It was delicious. The family that runs the place is very helpfull and charming. A great place to stay, no doubt!

Good place for a quick stopover. Beds were comfy.

Bathroom cleanliness needs to be improved. Maintenance also required in the bathroom - shower head was not working. Breakfast could be better.

The property by itself is quite charming as it inside the jungle.

the cleaning. The bathroom was not clean, the sheets were not changed, we have found hair on the pillows and the toilet paper had animal poop on it. Also the breakfast was very poor, just some bananas and a piece of cake but due to the many flies we were afraid to try it.

Nice spot in the jungle. Host was very helpful
