The owner and his family are really nice people, very helpful and kind. The breakfast is huge and delicious! It’s a short walk to restaurants and bars, very well located! We walked to sigiri rock in 30 min. The owner will get you anything you need ! The rooms didn’t smell of damp for once and it was good value for the money!

The place is exceptional! There is a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere. It is so quiet and peaceful that even when it rains it is very pleasant. The owners are very friendly and helpful, they helped us with transportation and hinted at where to eat. They serve delicious breakfasts. You feel like they take care of the guests and put their heart into what they do. Highly recommend ❤️

We had a wonderful stay at this unique accommodation right in the middle of the jungle! With rooftop viewpoints, a tranquil pool, and outstanding service, this place truly offers a special experience. Even though it's located a bit off the beaten path, the atmosphere more than makes up for it—you might not want to leave at all. The included breakfast was so generous it practically lasted us all day. In the evening, there was a great selection of local and Western dishes made with high-quality ingredients (though portions were on the smaller side). The peaceful pool area was perfect for unwinding, and the staff really took Sri Lankan hospitality to the next level. Occasional evening power fluctuations were handled smoothly with a temporary diesel generator, but it switched off well before bedtime, leaving only the soothing jungle sounds. For mobile work, this place may not be ideal—the Wi-Fi relies on a mobile connection, which wasn't strong enough for demanding online tasks. But for a relaxing holiday segment in Sri Lanka, this place gets our full recommendation! We arrived by public bus from Kandy, changing at Dambulla, and then took a Tuk Tuk from the Sigiriya bus stop to the accommodation for 1000 rupees. During our stay, we rented a scooter in Sigiriya, while other guests used rental Tuk Tuks to get around.

What a beautiful place! The cottage is very well and tastefully furnished, with a comfortable bed, a good bathroom, and everything was spotlessly clean. There’s a lovely terrace where you’re served the best meals Sri Lanka has to offer, and you can fully relax in the lounge chairs. The lodge is run by an incredibly kind and hospitable family, who think along with you in everything and can help organize great trips. The days we spent here were amazing, and this was without a doubt the best place we stayed at in all of Sri Lanka. Dear family, thank you for your warm hospitality!

Samanthi's homestay felt like a home from home. The room smelt lovely and fresh as soon as you entered. Huge double beds, very clean. Surroundings were amazing. Set in a residential area with neighbours going about their everyday jobs. We had our best night's sleep here. Breakfast was amazing and Samanthi made sure we had a different dish on each day. Great host, amazing room and we would definitely recommend to other people. Thanks Samanthi and family.

The view was superb, not to talk about the structure itself. Duminda and his family were the best part of the experience. So human, so warm. Everything was just the best
