Reviews of Lovely lodge & Hostel

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.

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.

friendly people, spacious room, good location, great value for this price

would be greatto have a kettle

Very kind. Nice family. Room big and clean. Nice breakfast

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

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

it’s 2km from the entrance of Lion Rock so we walked to the entrance The host family are very kind and welcomed us nicely I enjoyed the 2 coconuts they sold to me, very reasonable price Recommend to anyone who visit Lion Rock and need a place to stay

It was very conveniently located not far from the rock and restaurants. Very helpful owners who provided a lovely breakfast - I saw a note about them not bringing at the specific time - this didn’t happen to us they provided breakfast on the balcony outside their home at 9am both days so others must not have been clear with communication. Very helpful with where to find local things. The WiFi was a bit hit and miss but again it was always turned on - I think Sri Lanka has poor WiFi

Nothing

Clean and well taken care of. Beautiful garden area with hammocks.

Nothing!!

The family was so friendly and helpful at all times. Breakfast was even delivered to the room. The location was great for getting around.

The smell in the room was just too much, so we decided to leave after one night. The internet did not work.

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.

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 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.

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.

The room has a terrace and is facing a lovely garden.

Super lovely owners, very delicious breakfast, huge room.

The breakfast was very delicious, the WiFi worked good. The location was no far away from The center and the lion rock, but it was very quiet. I liked the stay at the lovely lodge.

Good location Very, very nice caring family

Great value for money, clean with good air con in walking distance to nice bars and restaurants but not noisy on a night. The family who ran it couldn’t do enough for us so friendly, welcoming even brought breakfast to our room. The stay was better than expected. Thank you so much

Nothing

Lovely family and a good breakfast. The location is great, and the facilities are okay, but the room felt quite humid. They claimed to have hot water, but I didn’t experience it. Overall, quite basic for the price.

There was no hot water at all.

Clean room, beautiful garden, pleasant hostess, good location.

Cold water. Nowhere to put things, could use a few shelves.

The lovely lodge is so relaxing the family running it are fantastic and so helpful sorting anything you need (safari, village tour, transport). The breakfast was great too! Would definitely recommend visiting and so well priced During our time they also offered us dinner and it was amazing ! Authentic home cooked Sri Lankan food You must stay! Only a few minute walk to restaurants and walking distance to the lion rock !
