Breakfast was both English as well as exquisite Sri Lankan cuisine. I could not care less for toast and jam if this unbelievably tasty Sri Lankan choice is on offer. Staff was extraordinary friendly and the manager was always catering to every need such as TukTuk organisation, taxi, etc. He also checked via whatsapp my whereabouts and if everything was o.k. - as a solo traveller this was really appreciated as I felt well looked after. Pool and day beds spotlessly clean and perfect after a hot day in the jungle. The room is large with a comfortable bed and clean. Modern, industrial style architecture with wooden elements. The boutique style hotel has only 7 or 8 rooms so really private and cozy. The cousin of the owner was driving me to my next destination with a stopover in Dambulla, spoke very well English and was utterly friendly. Dinner was just incredible and absolutely top cuisine - I did not need to eat outside as it was delicious and reasonable priced for the quality of food (compared to other restaurants) and overall hotel standard. An absolute recommendation and hopefully the prices will stay as are to make it even more appealing for hotel guests to enjoy!

We loved everything!! There is an amazing view of Sigiriya rock from all over the place. Dhananjaya who works there is an amazing person, takes care of everything and made sure we had a perfect stay. In addition, since they knew we were on our honeymoon, they arranged the room for us in a stunning way. Highly recommend!!

Great brand new hotel with spacious rooms and a nice pool to cool down after climbing up the rocks. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful, they gave us advice on where to eat/drink and arranged transportation at a very reasonable price. The breakfast is excellent, you cannot eat it all. We were served fruits and freshly squeezed fruit juice, then omelette and next pancakes/local specialty halaba. Also, if you go up the road leading to the hotel you’ll see the fields and a nice lake, perfect location when you’d like to get a break from the tourist crowds

This is the best place to chill and slow down:) I stayed here for 2 full weeks because I felt so at home, and became very good friends with Diwa and Chooti who run the place. They are amazing people and very open. They know a lot about the area as well as other regions, if you need any recommendations. They drove us with other guests to many cool places (don’t forget to help cover the Tuktuk gas costs please! They hesitate to ask.) Both of them take good care of all the guests! They keep it very very clean, every day doing a full cleaning routine inside and sweeping outdoors! The breakfast included is nice as well. The location is outside of Sigiriya main center, which is perfect for me! It’s very local and authentic in this area, local food at local prices. It doesn’t have that touristy energy. I loved going for walks around the area, chilling in the hammocks and common area. Surrounded by all the trees. Whether sun or rain, it was amazing. As a solo traveler, I met so many amazing friends here. Very social, the hosts do their best for that. Everyone is chill and open because of the energy of the place. You won’t regret! Definitely come with a chill mind, without rush or much plans. Go day by day :) Ps. You will fall in love with their sweet dog Lili 🩵

    Very friendly host, felt more than welcome! Great with kids. Own fruit garden and open for visitors. Ideal location between the two rocks. Great food - Sri Lankan but fitted to the children, every day other great dishes. Opens her kitchen for guests as well. Place to stay! We definitely go back!

    We had a wonderful time at this property, which was very warm and hospitable. Its location is perfect, within walking distance to Sigiriya Rock and the other rock. This property is ideal for families. Additionally, Mr. Sanjeeva (+94 77 919 7974), who managed all our transportation needs at very affordable rates, was a fantastic part of our overall trip.

    Dinesh and his family were wonderful hosts. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and the room and bathroom were finished to really high standard. The location is ideal with some really good restaurants nearby. Dinesh encourages birds and wildlife to the beautiful garden. The food was great and Dinesh was able to help us with our ongoing travel plans. This was our favourite place that we stayed on our three week trip and we couldn't recommend Otunna enough.

    The location is ideal. Very clean and the cabana dormitory accommodation is really special. Really nice lighting in the evening and plenty of places to sit and chill (lots of comfy hammocks). Note that there are two different standards of dorm rooms - make sure you check which one you booked and specify as I was accidentally shown to the wrong dorm. Not a problem and all sorted in the end.

    Our stay at Rockside was perfect. Pasindu and Priyantha both made our stay memorable. Everything was spotlessly clean and our room had everything we may need. Breakfast was delicious and so big we couldn't finish it. The location was ideal as we could walk to town and also Pindurangala and Sigiriya rocks. A local elephant could be spotted in the river too. They tell us they are soon starting to offer cooking classes. We wish them well with this. Priyantha cooks well and has a great sense of humour to go with it.
