What an amazing experience staying at this hotel. It felt like they had thought of everything from live music, magicians, music in the bathrooms and such a beautiful setting in the forest/jungle. The monkeys are so fun to watch especially the ones with the black faces. Yes this hotel is on the higher price point but it’s worth it for the atmosphere and attention from the many staff. Everything can be arranged by the reception with many experiences or a tuk tuk if you need to go to Dambulla. The buffet dinner is amazing with so much to choose from and of high quality and the buffet breakfast is delicious also.

Great location with nature right outside your room. You can hear the peacocks and see Sigiriya Rock from the hotel. Prakash was very accommodating and his service was great.

One of the most tranquil and peaceful stays of our travels so far. Everything about this property was outstanding - the staff and the service , the room which was spacious with comfortable and huge bed , plunge pool and overlooking greenery , spacious and huge bathroom . We had booked the stay which included their Ayurvedic doctor and treatment and it was heavenly. Top notch quality and very peaceful. Note that the Ayurvedic Center closes at 4pm and rightly so. Would advice to choose full board ( breakfast , lunch and dinner) and opt for Ayurvedic food ( if you prefer vegetarian) . The food was clean , light , local and tasty. We also saw a peacock in the morning right beside our room. The team also provided us very good tips on the time we should visit the lion rock ( for sunrise to avoid crowds) and helped us book a safari to the Kaudulla national park which was one of the highlights of our stay. The property is built on over 70 acres and gives you the green , lush, expansive feel. Thank you to the staff - Chandana ( manager) , praveen , Hasitana ( the chef) and the two people who served breakfast. Everyone serves with a smile and a peaceful demeanour . I had also shared that it was my partners birthday ( a few hours before arriving) and they had made such nice birthday arrangements ( balloons , cake , room decor ). We will surely refer this place to our friends and family and be back here for sure .

I really enjoyed my stay in Hotel Sigiriya! The room was very clean, all thanks to the housekeeper Iduranga. The bar was managed by Sampiath who was very friendly and made the drinks very good and quick. The breakfast team, consisting of Hakeem, Chalana, and Lahiru, went above and beyond in their service. Moreover, the manager's exceptional hospitality and readiness to assist with any inquiries or needs made my stay truly memorable. Each member of the staff played a pivotal role in making my visit comfortable and enjoyable.

This is a really difficult review to write, as the property is beautiful and it does have the potential to be absolutely amazing. It’s just missing a few key things. The staff are wonderful. Our butler was fantastic. He couldn’t do enough for us. If something wasn’t right he’d fix it, straight away. We were lucky to have him and he made our stay a good one. The staff also stayed up extra late to allow my husband to watch the England vs Spain game, which was very kind.

Really smart, modern rooms, lovely “waterfall” showers and good aircon. The pool was lovely and really welcome after hard days climbing Sigiriya Lion Rock and Pidurangala rock (both of which are about 10-15 minutes away by car. Great location. Amazing staff who are always around to help with anything that’s needed and a superb restaurant serving Sri Lankan, Asian and some Western food. Breakfast is a feast of fruit, pastries (and marmite on toast - really!), Sri Lankan dishes and then eggs (if you’ve still got room).

This was an accomodation of exceptional value but I would say it is a 5 star hostel. So if you are happy with that then you will be very happy with Palitha Homestay. The staff were extremely welcoming and the property was clean and tidy. It had basic facilities, including air conditioned bedrooms, even if the air conditioning was quite noisy. The dinner we had was tasty. It was very convenient for Sigarya Rock
