Reviews of Sigiriya Water Guest & View Point Restaurant 5 stars

Location was great, with a view to the Sigiriya rock. It is close to restaurants and cafes. The owner’s wife cooked us a very yummy dinner and had a great time with them. Breakfast was also delicious. The owner, his wife and staff were very friendly and very helpful. They made are trip very special. Thank you for everything my friends!

The guest house has wonderful views to the Lion rock and breakfast is served on a remarkable roof terrace. The hosts are very kind.

We are a family with a child and the room was a bit small for us.

The host and his family were very warm and welcoming. He provided everything we needed very quickly, and the breakfast was delicious.

We were charged for laundry service, but unfortunately the clothes weren’t properly cleaned after.

Good location of the Guest House with rooms and breakfast with View on the Lion’ s Roc Anjula , Madou and their sons are very friendly and helpfull.

We could not be more pleased with our stay at the guest house. The host and family are so kind and helpful, including the children. We were picked up from Trincomalee and dropped off at Kandy, drop off and pick up from Sigiriya rock, a full day tour of the ancient city of Polonnaruwa. All of this included stops at so many places that we would never had seen otherwise, recommendations of places and activities, such as buffalo curd, spice gardens and a sunset viewpoint. We felt like had a personal chauffeur and tour guide during our 3 days. From a feed perspective, we had a delicious home cooked dinner on arrival and Breakfast was copious and with the most spectacular and unique view of the Sigiriya rock. The rooms were clean, air conditioned, tastefully designed and the bed was very comfortable.

Our only disappointment during our stay, which is not the fault of the owners, was a safari in Minneriya National park which they helped to organise. Initially we were recommended to go to Hurulu but at the last minute we were told that the elephants had moved. Entrance fees for Minneriya are very expensive and after having also visited Yala on a full-day tour, the half-day tour in Minneriya, which only lasted 4 hours total, less than 3 hours in the park, was not worth the high price that we paid for it.

this place really has A VIEW! also the restaurant is amazing. but the best of all: the people. we came here because of our friends, but we will come back because of this lovely family. always available to give as rides, to recommend us things to do and, in one night, they sang and danced for us - and we sang e and danced for them ☺️ the house has 3 rooms so it’s easily to know other people and make connections. the room is comfy, they have laundry service and the ac is strong. don’t hesitate to come here!!

Very nice owner and his family. Helpful and honest:) clean place with super view and tasty breakfast. I very recommend this place!

The view from the top of the guest house is what makes this place so good. We had an excellent Sir Lankan breakfast up there, with a view of Lion's Rock and the paddy fields. The room is quite small, but very clean and with nice touches, such as an electric kettle, shampoo, shower mats - little touches I didn't see often in Sri Lanka. The guest house is owned by an enterprising local family. They have a lovely garden with little statues and a swing.

I had an absolutely amazing stay. The location was perfect – easy to get around but peaceful and scenic, with a spectacular view of Sigiriya rock and rice fields that made every morning feel special. The hospitality was truly outstanding – the hosts were warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and cared for. The local breakfast was delicious! I also really enjoyed the relaxing Ayurvedic massage that felt awesome after the hike. They also offered transport for my sunrise hike, which made everything so easy and stress-free. I felt genuinely welcomed and pampered throughout my stay. I would absolutely return and highly recommend this guesthouse to anyone looking for a memorable, heartwarming experience with the best view.

Super good and very friend owner

Everything

Staff were great, friendly and helpful.

The ground floor room (#1) was horrible, smelled really bad and had mold on the walls and ceiling.

The hosts were beautiful. The food was amazing. We stayed for 2 nights and were given lunch, 2x dinners and 2x breakfast. Best food we have had in whole of Sri Lanka. Hosts organised tuk tuk driver for us, who we used for the 2 days we were in Sigiriya. An awesome stay, we will be back!

Everything about this stay was perfect. The host is super friendly and serves amazing local food for dinner if you ask. We even had great evening activities with signing and dancing involving his son! Couldn’t recommend enough. The room and place had an amazing view and we also got a lift to the rock and free breakfast. Look no further if you need to book somewhere in Sigiriya!

amazing place

My stay at Sigiriya Water Guest and View Point was, without a doubt, the highlight of my time in Sri Lanka. From the moment I arrived, I felt truly welcomed and cared for by the owner and his lovely family who became more than a host - he felt like a friend who cared for me every step of the way, filling my days with warmth. Their kindness and attention made all the difference, turning a simple stay into a heartwarming experience. The location is perfect—peaceful, surrounded by nature, and just a short ride from the majestic Sigiriya Rock. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with beautiful views that invite you to slow down and enjoy the moment. Breakfast was simply wonderful—fresh, homemade, and served with so much love. But what made my evenings truly magical was the live music show during dinner: a beautiful, intimate performance by the owner and his son that filled the air with joy and soul. This guesthouse isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a place where you feel at home, connected to the people and the land. I’ll always carry this memory in my heart. Highly, highly recommended.

We have traveled the world and stayed in hundreds of hotels. These were the kindest and most polite hotel owners I have ever seen. The view from the hotel is priceless. You can have breakfast facing Lion’s Rock.

I'm so happy with my stay here 🤩! The room is spotless and the view is simply breathtaking 🏞️. The owner is incredibly welcoming and helpful, making me feel right at home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. What a fantastic experience overall, I can't wait to come back! #travel #hospitality #cleanroom #goodview

We had the most magical stay here with the beautiful family that is Anjula and wife (sorry I don’t have your name!) and son Kavisa. They are such kind, warmhearted and gentle souls that welcomed us to their own home. We arrived late at night and they prepared a custom made dinner from scratch for us and Kavisa sang and danced which brought me to tears (I’m not normally emotionally expressive like this but they are a very special family). The guest house is set over several floors and is clean, bright and well air conditioned. The proximity to Lion Rock is perfect - they recommended we reach there for 4.30 in order to make the sunrise on the ascent. We came back in time for a breakfast at around 8AM of fresh papaya juice and a delightful spread of Sri Lankan rotis, pancakes, hoppers, Ceylon tea and so on. The stunning view of Lion Rock as we breakfasted was just the cherry on top. Our toddler enjoyed experiencing the pulley system for transferring breakfast items to and from the ground floor. Kavisa is such a beautiful, sweet soul and played with/looked after my children, particularly the younger one, swinging her on the swinging bench, picking apples from the garden for her and also treating her mosquito bites with plants from his garden. He knows a lot of about nature, wildlife, mini beasts and herbology. What an incredible time we had here, that we will hold dear in our hearts forever. 💜💜💜💜

Everything was perfect

The warm hospitality of the host family. We had great interaction with the family singing and dancing. Our breakfast is so special while viewing the beauty of Sigiriya Rock from the rooftop restaurant.. Rooms are comfy and clean. Highly recommended for family and couple who likes to experience the culture and privacy.

Hosts were so lovely, showed us up to our room then greeted us with coffee and biscuits. Their hospitality is unmatched! The view at the top is the best in the area, and breakfast here was a highlight. On our day out, they packed us some watermelon and we picked our own coconuts. Dinner was delicious and we even had some after-dinner entertainment! They also brought us out some postcards to send home!! So thoughtful and lovely.

Amazing host, amazing location, stunning views from the rooftop, clean rooms and amazing breakfast
