A little bit difficult to communicate with the host, as she does not speak english well.

Amazing place for stay. So green!!! Big jump from city jungle to natural jungle. Nice breakfasts on the tarasse. Quite easy to catch tuk-tuk to get to main road.

The towel was a bit dirty and you need to pay $3 more for AC

It was very beautiful, you really feel like you immerse yourself in the culture. Have amazing Sri Lankan breakfast.

Nice place away from the normal roads. I would recommend having your own tuktuk to get here like we had. Nice bonus is the AC in the double bed room, but not in the family room, for 2dollars a night. The host made us nice breakfasts also available after climbing the Pidurangala Rock and if you want she can also make you a huge dinner with a variety of curry's.

We planned on staying for 2 nights but extended to 4 nights as we loved it here. The Homestay family are so lovely and helped us with anything we needed. Breakfasts were local dishes that tasted amazing. We would definitely recommend!

A bit far away from the road. You need to take a tuktuk or taxi if you are going early morning or late in the evening because there could be wild elephants. Only one lady speaks English.

Very friendly owner, delicious food (breakfast, also there is an opportunity to order dinner). Homestay surrounded by nature.

Bedding could have been a bit cleaner since the humidity tend to create mould.

I loved how remote it felt. In the middle of the jungle, it was just what I wanted but also so easy to get to the center specially if you rent a bike. The host was so nice and genuine.

more ventilation would have been better

didnt opt for breakfast and had to leave early , there was no ventilation in the room , we just got remote controlled fan in the room,

The property is a little out of the way, we had no problem getting tuktuks whilst we where there and you could also hire a bike. The drivers are wary of the elephants but picked us up early morning (5am) and the latest we where dropped was 9pm.

The room here was basic but so clean, the shower and bathroom were clean and working, aircon and fan good, Places to hang clothes and a lovely little patio! At night we saw firefly’s and sometimes elephants come! It is set in a beautiful garden and lovely jungle sounds at night 🥰. Also as everybody said the family are really beautiful and kind, Our food and breakfast was so so delicious, all fresh with veg and fruit in the garden. They welcome you in like a family member and we will really miss being around them, especially Lila who couldn’t do enough of us.

If you like off beat places and spending a night close to nature this is the best option. With forest all around and plantations done by the host family in the area there is a lot of greenery. Host is a lovely person and will take care of your needs. She arranged Srilankan delicacies for breakfast, bread toast and lots of fruits. Bus stop is at a walkable distance and tuktuk's are available from there. We spotted monitor lizard nearby and the whole place was calm and serene especially when it was raining.

Little bit out from the centre.

Very friendly hosts. Comfortable room.

The location is ok during the day. But during the night (for example for night safari) it is harder to get a tuktuk. You can’t go by yourself because on the last 300 m to the hause might be elephants Some tuk tuk drivers won’t come because they are scared of elephants as well. The owners does not speak english at all. We had to ask about the time of the breakfast by ourselves.

The location is very quiet. You can spot various small animals. The only breakfast we had was a real Srilankan food and it was very interesting to taste it. :) The owners even open a jack fruit for us.

Stayed in August 2024

It is quite far from the centre and you can’t walk back past 7pm, so you do need a scooter or Tuktuk!

Beautiful authentic home stay in Sigiriya, Lila and her family were incredibly kind and helpful. Lila cooked us a beautiful dinner & breakfast.

Little oasis in the bush. The family is the sweetest. So welcoming and accommodating. And the food with fresh produce from their garden is just outstanding. The best homestay we experienced in Sri Lanka so far!

Stayed in July 2024

Lovely and clean place! Nice Family! I recommend to rent a scooter and explore the surroundings not only lion Rock :-)

Lila and her family are very welcoming and the food is exceptional, I really recommend the place. In the middle of nature and wild life, birds and squirrels everywhere :) take a meal if you can, you will not regret it !

"Unforgettable Stay at Sigiriya Nature View Homestay" From the moment you arrive at Sigiriya Nature View Homestay, you know you're in for a special experience. Lila and her family set the bar for hospitality, making you feel not just welcomed but truly part of their family. One of the most remarkable aspects of the stay is the culinary journey Lila provides. Her homemade meals are a culinary masterpiece, giving guests a genuine taste of Sri Lankan flavors that you simply won't find in restaurants. Each dish reflects her passion for cooking and her desire to share her culture. The accommodation itself is superb. The room is spacious, impeccably clean, and extremely comfortable, with large bathroom. The front door opens to a lovely space where plants and ponds create a tranquil area perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Speaking of location, the homestay is conveniently situated within walking distance of local restaurants and markets, but renting a bike or scooter is advisable. It’s the best way to explore the stunning natural and archaeological sites nearby, all easily accessible from the homestay. Overall, staying at Sigiriya Nature View Homestay is not just about finding a place to sleep, but about immersing yourself in the warmth of Sri Lankan hospitality and enjoying a familial atmosphere that Lila and her family expertly create. Saying that I highly recommend this homestay doesn’t quite seem to capture the exceptional experience they offer; it truly is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Sigiriya.

Extremely beautiful place, sweetest family, outskirts of the village, in the jungle as sigiriya experience should be. The room is very nice, cute and clean. Bed is very comfortable and has mosquito net. The bathroom is superb, large and has hot water. You have a small extremely cute balcony. You feel the whole house is done with love. The whole family is extremely sweet. You really feel taken care of. They make very nice local breakfast in the morning, check on you if you have any needs, they are all very kind and smiley. You really feel that you are living with a very sweet local family. At the same time you have %100 your personal space. The house is in the jungle, is a nice 10 mins walk from main road. It's on the outskirts but there are other village houses on the way closeby, you feel completely safe walking back and forth. You can see, hear animals, and have cute small visitors. As Sigiriya is a wild elephant area, it is generally not recommended to walk around before-after sunset. With scooter or tuktuk it is fine. I had two days walking, one day scooter and it was very nice. You can also get a tuktuk from main road to house for reasonable price after sunset. At an amazing jungle area like this, you don't wanna stay in busy main road. This house gives you a wonderful serene jungle experience. I will for sure again stay here when i am back in sigiriya.

The most wonderful and lovely hosts. You can get a real insight in the life of a Sri Lankan familiy. They care about you and do everything, that you enjoy your stay. Thank you!

The air in the room is a bit musty, but it is due to the location (everything around Sigiriya is really humid). you just need to let the door open for a few min every time you got home.

Amazing place in the edge of forrest, calm, quiet and relaxed. We spend a very nice time here. Bed is comfy, hot water, super breakfast! The family is really sweet and welcoming, they made sure we got everything we need. Highly recommended 👌

Lovely family, very good food, quiet location. The family booked elephant safari for me which was also incredible. It is in walking distance the Lion Rock, but you can also get tuk tuk at the bottom of the road.

The cottage is in the middle of the jungle. Very quiet and peaceful. Lila and her family are extremely kind and lovely.
