    There was some construction going on while we were there which made things a bit messy. But it didn’t really disturb us.

    Special place, lovely to fall asleep listening to the sounds of the river. Very kind and helpful owners, lovely breakfast.

    The bed we had was too small. My partner, who is 6’3”, could not fit and had to sleep at an angle to fit.

    The property is right by a stream in the middle of trees and a small stream flowing by. Relaxing atmosphere, nice hosts.

    The only thing is if there is a lot of humidity, staying in the tree house wasn’t the best because doesn’t have AC but only a fan so it was quite hot but manageable at the end

    The owners are super friendly and very helpful. The tree house is super cute and it was a wonderful experience

    The most important thing for us is cleanliness, and this hotel exceeded our expectations—it was spotless. The staff’s behavior was also exceptional—everyone was kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. The location is perfect: right by the river and within walking distance to all the main attractions in Sigiriya. If we ever come back to Sigiriya, we won’t even consider staying anywhere else—this will be our first choice. A special thank you to Mali—she is the best! So friendly and incredibly helpful. Highly recommended!

    We had the most magical time at Sigariya River Side Villa! Such a unique experience staying in the tree house & being close to nature. Really enjoyed relaxing in the hammock with the sounds of the river. Good location: 5 minute walk to restraunts and 20 minute walk to larger shops & ATM. Breakfast was absolutely delicious!  The owner was a fantastic host and helped us arrange a number of activities. Not a criticism as they didn't bother us, but there are a number of small frogs who like to hang out in the bathroom!

    We stayed in a cute boomhut with ac. The couple who runs the place is extremely helpful and we booked some tours and transport with them. The location is great, one minute walking to all kinds of cute restaurants. The breakfast was amazing. Overall, we had a nice stay and would definitely recommend.

    Peaceful Treehouse Escape – Amazing Value!

    • Tree House with River View
    • Stayed 1 night

    Staying in this treehouse was such a magical experience! It’s the perfect spot if you’re looking to disconnect and enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature. Falling asleep to the gentle sounds of the forest was incredibly soothing — I haven’t slept that well in ages. The hammock was a personal favorite – perfect for lounging, reading, or just relaxing and soaking in the calm atmosphere. It's the kind of place that makes you slow down and truly unwind. The room itself is simple but has everything you need. It’s cozy, clean, and thoughtfully set up. Nothing fancy, but that’s part of its charm – it feels authentic and grounded. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and a lovely way to start each day. Fresh, tasty, and prepared with care. For the price, this place is a fantastic value. It offers something truly special — a unique stay surrounded by nature, comfort in simplicity, and real relaxation. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a peaceful getaway without breaking the bank.
