    Isuru and family were very welcoming and helpful, helping us to arrange transportation in and out of Sigiriya and activities while we were there. They even dropped us at Lion's Rock at 5am so that we could climb up for sunrise. The room was comfortable and air conditioning in the room was appreciated! There were plenty of small restaurants serving very tasty Sri Lankan food within walking distance.

    Nothing, I wish I could stay more!

    I had a wonderful stay at Thuruliya residence! The family is so kind and welcoming, rooms are big and extrememy clean, with AC. It is located in a calm place at a walking distance to the lion rock and many good restaurants and cafés around. The owner is very helpful and helped me organize the rest of my trip in Sri Lanka and gave me tips. They also offer tours and I did one for Polonnaruwa. Last but not least breakfast is so delicious and very filling! I highly recommend this place!

    Nothing. I was sad to leave

    Fabulous homestay in good location down quiet side road. Peaceful rural feel surrounded by greenery. There are 2 groundfloor units - mine had two bedrooms and large bathroom. Everything very clean. Excellent very effective air conditioning and a ceiling fan made for a cool night sleep. Reliable hot shower as well as a cold one. Pleasant verandah to sit out on with table and chairs. A very good breakfast which varied each day was served on the verandah with tea and coffee. The family were very welcoming and helpful. WiFi was good. A superb restaurant up the street on the left near where it joins the main road. You will recognise it by the large numbers of customers that eat there

    I had bad luck of few days of rainy weather, couldn't see much around. Maybe next time. The internet was weak, they installed a new router but it was not plugged in at that time. However, 4G was decent there.

    Nice and honest family. Usually Sri lankan people will try to overcharge you as a tourist. But they were honest. Appreciate it. The young man has a tuk tuk and a jeep for safaris. His mother cooks good food. The house is clean. Recommend it.

    Everything was perfect!

    This is a great place to stay. Wonderful family who are friendly and helpful hosts. The patio is a great place to hang out and meet other guests. The breakfast is one of the best I have had and the dinners were outstanding. We asked to watch the dinner being cooked and Ganga translated the spices into English for us and showed us how to use the coconut shredder. I really felt at home. The rooms are clean and spacious. The short walk to the lake is beautiful with a view of Lions Rick reflected in the lake - this was Mt favourite viewpoint. I can't recommend this place enough!

    Booked a room with 3 beds but got one with 2. We managed fine though.

    Really friendly manager. Sorted out transport for us really easily. Breakfast was good. My daughter was very happy to spot a tiny frog and a lizard. Easy to walk down the street for dinner or to see Sigiriya. Genius travellers power point!

    The most welcoming and lovely family ever! From the moment I got there it was amazing, welcome drinks and snacks, was told if I need anything not to hesitate to ask, the room was large and clean, location was a 5 min walk to the town (many restaurants and shops within walking distance) the free breakfast was DELICIOUS and filled me up until the evening, this family were so friendly and went above and beyond to make sure I had a lovely stay, I can not recommend staying here enough!
