The hosts, Diwa, Chooti and Lily, make this place the best hostel in Sigiriya! They recently opened, and they're working super hard to give guests an amazing experience. They took us to a bunch of secret and beautiful spots in their tuktuk, and they're so much fun to hang out with. They even helped me get a motorbike to rent, which was not easy as everything was rented. They really go above and beyond! I loved the huts too, they're tall and well built, and the beds had mosquito nets. I had and amazing time and was hard to leave ❤️

We stayed here as a group of friends and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The host was incredible – he ordered and organised things for us, gave us loads of tips about the local area, and even went above and beyond when my friend left her bag at a bus stop. He actually tracked it down and drove it back to us! His whole family were so kind and welcoming, which made us feel completely at home. Breakfast was amazing every morning, and the beds were huge double bunks, super comfy after a long day exploring. Honestly, the host and his family made the trip for us – such a special place to stay

We had a wonderful stay at this hostel! The place is impeccably clean and well-maintained, making it feel like a home away from home. The host is incredibly friendly and helpful, always going out of his way to ensure a pleasant stay and offering great tips for local attractions. The traditional breakfast served each morning was absolutely delicious – a perfect start to the day! The hostel is located in a peaceful area, offering a calm and relaxing atmosphere, yet still close enough to everything you need. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and quiet place to stay. We would definitely come back!

This is a new property and everything is very new, feels like a hotel really! I was pleasantly surprised and wanted to stay longer. Staff tried their best to help with everything. Very close to the rock, and lots of shops nearby. Comfortable bed, big lockers. Free breakfast also, such a good price for what you get.

Great experience staying at there! It is a really nice place, beautiful garden, clean room. you can see a lot of animals, the monkeys are especially fun to watch! Malith and his family are so nice! His mom makes delicious food, breakfast and dinner are both good! I end up staying for 3 nights because of the raining days that most of the time you can't go out to explore this place and other places nearby, we also went to some unknow place which had beautiful views! but even you can only stay in the house, you will not be bored, you can watch movies and play games!

    The common area is very well put together, gives homie-vibes and it's very prone to meet other travelers in the hostel. The staff of the hostel, also, promote a good integration for everybody, organizing certain activities in group that everyone can participate in, like going to the lake, watching sunset in a secret place or doing BBQ Best hostel for backpackers and solo travelers no doubt Ah, and the food is amazing. Excellent really
