Reviews of Sigiriya Nature View home Stay

The place realy in the jungle , not to dip but enough to feel the vibes of the nature , the family very kinde , its also a chance to eat fully othentic food , you will eat the food they eat , very very beautiful place and just few minutes from restaurants and bars , i can advice you visit amro cafe near the place .

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.

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

It Was quiet and very scenic!!

I don't know about others but we had a very uncomfortable stay there. There was no water, WiFi for a very long time and we couldn’t do our basic staff because of that. At the same time we couldn’t contact with the owner. They don't understand english properly, it was very tough for us to tell them to provide water and WiFi. The number put in the website, didn’t work either. Overall, it was not a very pleasure experience for us!

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

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

The hosts were lovely and the location was great , right on the think of nature. Food was delicious

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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,

more ventilation would have been better

Nothing much to say

There was no basic needs available like towels and mug in the washroom . There was no ceiling fan and it kept us hot

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.

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.

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.

Very friendly hosts. Comfortable room.

Little bit out from the centre.

The host family were all very welcoming & friendly. The bed was comfy and the fan + AC helped keep the room cool. Breakfast & Dinner were always very delicious, although the breakfasts were sometimes very simple (just toast with butter and coconut syrup one morning).

We had some issue with the shower not functioning properly but the host said they would get it fixed so maybe not something anyone else will need to worry about? Also, besides the warnings about the wild elephants presenting a potential safety concern (we never did see any elephants), the amount of stray dogs, and the aggressiveness of quite a few of the dogs we encountered, inhibited our feelings of being able to freely & safely walk around.

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.

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.

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

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