Reviews of Sigiriya Rock Hide

Nice and quiet area with a view on the rock from the second floor . Relaxing swimming pool , cleaned everyday , super staff, really helpful The room i stayed in was standard , a kettle in the room would have been appreciated ( but i declined the upgrade because it was just for a bigger room and I didn’t need more Space) I booked 1 more night Breakfast is really good , cooking too .

Friendly atmosphere, location, nice pool & great view from the top floor. Hosts are very helpful, would definitely recommend!

The food was delicious, with a good variety to choose from. The rooms were nice, clean, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay. The staff were friendly and always ready to help, making the experience even more enjoyable.

I liked the staff. The manager was helpful and friendly. The swimming pool was awesome. As we were only spending one night, we could only use the pool after our climb of the sigiriya rock. So it was almost close to 8.45 pm when we got in the pool. The staff were accomadating and turned on the morning pool lights for us. The breakfast was good, but maybe we should serve half of the eggs well done as not everyone likes it runny. They view of the rock from the dining room was awesome.

The only disappointing thing was the laundry. We were assured that the laundered clothes would be ready by 9 am the next morning, just before our departure. So we gave it, and we got back mostly damp clotthing the next day. He did take off 2000 LKR from the total, but i think we still paid too much for it. Especially when we didn't get back dry clothes . We had the whole load and more done at our second last accommodation for half the price we paid here. And we received the clothes in the same bags we gave it in and was dry. It's unfortunate that this happened because the staff are lovely and everything else was good with this accommodation.

The location was great. Lovely pool and garden to relax in after a busy day. Nice breakfast. Sound proof rooms.

The mattresses and sheets could be updated and pool towels would be great.

Good location to visit Sigiryia, and not too far to Minneriya national park and Polonnaruwa. Nice pool after to day of touristing. Lively set of good value restaurants a short walk away.

A bit noisy in our room as we were next to the concrete stairs.

Rooms were big enough, Washrooms were clean, Outdoor views are stunning. Pool was very nice and clean as well. Staff was v helpful and polite. V good breakfast.

Bed linens had stains and bed cover was torn but it was not a big deal for us. They confirmed our Driver's accommodation but they didn't have any accommodation available once we reached there.

Great stay, comfortable and also friendly staff 👍. Pool great for a swim after a day checking out the area.

Loved the location- the view of lion rock while eating breakfast was surreal! pool was sooo good 😊 staff were so attentive, friendly and helpful ! Definitely recommend ! Family of 5 from Australia

Great location

This hotel is a small paradise. Immeresed on nature. The swimming pool is great. Great staff, Fernando , the owner, is a very good and caring host. .Bwst place with children! If I have a chance I will be back for a week or too.

Everything was good!

The property was quiet and had a lovely swimming pool which got sunshine in the daytime. The staff were friendly and accommodating and cooked a great breakfast. The breakfast balcony had Sigiriya rock in the distance.

The room was described as deluxe and it wasn’t, it was very basic. The pillows had clean cases but the actual pillows were stained - the owners need to buy some new ones. We had a family room but one of the beds was actually a sofa bed. Cleaning needed under the beds.

The pool is amazing in the heat of the day! The rooms are simple but clean. The owners were extremely helpful and helped us plan our activities in Sigiriya and get taxis for us. The food was also good.

Quite a few flies in the room.

The location is peaceful and away from the main road, but only a short walk from the restaurants. Also a view of the rock from the hotel restaurant and upper balcony. Peacocks and beautiful birds are in the garden. The staff were wonderful and lovely place to relax .We will be back again. Highly recommended

nothing to complain

I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel for just one night, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. The hospitality was top-notch, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The room was impeccably clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated, with every small detail adding to the comfort. The location was perfect, offering a peaceful atmosphere while still being conveniently close to local attractions. What truly stood out was the host's warmth and attentiveness – they went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and memorable. I only wish I could have stayed longer. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family, and I look forward to returning on my next trip!

A lovely stay with great hospitality from the owner. The location is on the edge of Sigiriya, and it took us 30mins to walk to the entrance of Lions Rock. Tucked away of the main road, this is a quiet and tranquil spot with a lovely swimming pool. So when you've done climbing both hills, it was great to be able to sit around the pool and chill. And the owner was particularly kind to still make breakfast for us after we had completed an early morning hike up Lions Rock and returned 20mins after the end of breakfast. We did not expect this, and so to be offered breakfast was fantastic. Thank you very much Fernando. He also arranged an excellent driver for our elephant safari into Hurulu. We saw about 30 elephants on an afternoon tour. Fantastic.

We would recommend a room with Aircon as it was very humid and damp with only a ceiling fan.

The pool was sparkling clean and our room was nice and big with great air conditioning. It was very quiet and peaceful surrounds and the staff were lovely. Everyone was so hopeful and very easy to get a tuktuk into town

Nothing!

This place was amazing and we regretted that we only stayed for 1 night as a base for climbing Sigiriya Rock. Everything was just great! Highly recommend staying here. - Staff incredibly helpful and welcoming. - Pool was clean and well maintained and a lovely spot to hang out - Restaurant on the top floor with a view of Sigiriya Rock - Great breakfast and amazing food options from the menu. - The room was spacious, clean, newly renovated with a comfy bed. - Shower was hot with great pressure - They organised an early morning TukTuk so we could climb Sigiriya Rock for sunrise (highly recommend) - Location is beautiful - we saw a variety of wildlife from the pool!

Amazing host, nice breakfast, swimming pool and cry of peacocks Amazing view to Sigiriya rock from 2nd floor

This is not a complaint, more of a recommendation. There are not mosquito nets on the windows

Property is quite new, meaning the quality is higher than many other hotels in Sri Lanka. We thought the breakfast was really good, with a view of Lion's Rock, and the swimming pool is a great addition as you are essentially in the jungle so cooling down from the humidity is necessary. Be aware you are out of the 'main' town and down a 'dirt road' but this really doesnt make a difference, you're still approximately 7 mins walk to plenty of restaurants and we went to Dhanu Garden and Restaurant twice because it felt like an authentic jungle experience, food was SO good, you can BYO wine/beer, and the hospitality even better!

We were a large (ish) group who ordered a few additional dishes and drinks during our stay at the hotel. We tried to pay as we ordered to avoid confusion at the end, but the owner/staff insisted not. However, upon check out we were met with multiple confusing bills to pay, including a few double-ups of drinks etc. I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt that this was a mistake. But, worth mentioning as it took a lot of time to rectify, and, in all honesty, not sure it was entirely genuine. Also, the bathroom need some serious ventilation, but the room itself was nice enough and the guy serving breakfast/carrying our bags was really lovely and helpful.
