    The only issue we had were with frogs popping up in the washrooms, but this is to be expected with homes in the area so it wasn’t a difficult issue to solve.

    The family running this stay were absolutely lovely; very kind people who were responsive and attentive to all of our requests. The accommodation itself was clean, well-maintained, and incredibly close to Sigiriya rock and many restaurants in the area.

    Lacking a bit of character, breakfast plentiful but perhaps sub par.

    Everything was up to standard - wifi, bedroom, location.

    We had a pleasure to stay at Lovely Lodge for one night during our stay in Sigirija. It's amazing family hotel with beautiful garden. Everyone was extremely polite and we recomend this house for your stay in the city from bottom of our hearts.

    I would have liked a better towel. The ones we had were a bit small in size and on the thin side. Because of that, it would have been useful to have an extra hand towel for our use, just to dry one's hands after using the wash room. I would also have appreciated the family checking with us what time we wanted to have breakfast each day. We requested 8.30 on our first morning, but then it came at 8.30 or earlier every morning, resulting in us eating cold omelettes and soggy toast. Those happen to be some of my pet hates... I also prefer my coffee or tea with proper milk rather than non dairy creamer.

    The breakfast was fine. I would have liked the opportunity of choosing a Sri Lankan breakfast more often, rather than just traditional Western breakfast. The family was warm and welcoming. I liked the option of using the room's overhead fan rather than air-conditioning, which I find too aggressive and unhealthy.

    I had a fantastic room in a very beautiful location, just outside the noisy area. The family was very friendly and also offered a scooter, which came in very handy. I was very happy and can highly recommend the place.
