This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The homestay features garden views, an outdoor fireplace and a 24-hour front desk.

If I ever get the chance to visit Sigiriya again, Dew Ashi will definitely be my choice.

Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The homestay offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Our hosts were welcoming and shared many interesting insights with us, making the conversations engaging and informative. The vegetarian meals they prepared, as per our request, were delicious and entirely home-cooked with ingredients from their own garden. Communication with them was smooth and helpful throughout our stay. We learned a lot about Sri Lankan traditions and values, which made the experience even more meaningful. On their recommendation, we went on a safari that turned into a private tour, where we saw a variety of animals. They also gave us a free tuktuk tour around Sigiriya, taking us to a stunning viewpoint and a herbal garden with an informative tour. Their hospitality made our stay unforgettable, and we’re grateful for such an enriching homestay experience.

Towels and bed linen are available in the homestay. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and soundproofing.

The homestay specialises in a continental and Full English/Irish breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. As an added convenience, Pidurangala View Treehouse offers packed lunches for guests to bring on excursions and other trips off-property. Wonderful location and hosts. These are hard working people that are doing their best to make people feel welcome and comfortable. Both of which I did.

Set within 17 km of Sigiriya Rock and 20 km of Pidurangala Rock, Hotel Hanguk Villa offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Dambulla. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. All rooms come with a patio with views of the mountain. Villa Hanguk is an ideal spot if you plan to explore the Dambulla area. The owner is incredibly helpful, offering assistance with scooter or tuk-tuk rentals and organizing local trips. The villa is nestled just 400 meters from the main city street, surrounded by lush paddy fields. The beautifully maintained garden is filled with vibrant plants and flowers, offering plenty of cozy spots to relax—whether in a hammock, at a dining area, or playing table games. Being in the middle of nature, you can expect the delightful sounds of wildlife, including peacocks. It truly adds to the charm of the place. One of the highlights of our stay was the Sri Lankan food. The meals were not only delicious but also generously portioned. I highly recommend skipping outside restaurants and instead asking the staff to prepare dinner for you—you won’t be disappointed!

There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. There is free private parking and the property provides paid airport shuttle service.

Those people deserve a big big support

Hidden Lake Cottages Sigiriya is located in Sigiriya and features a private pool and lake views. Featuring babysitting service, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The guest house provides pool views, a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available. Super nice rooms, well decorated, very clean and calm. The private pool is a real plus. Perfect to chill and relax. Mahesh is the manager of the place and was offering to us free pick up from the center to the cottage which really helped us a lot. I really recommend this place. The only 2 things that do not match with the description of the hotel: no free pick up from dambulla and no bikes to lend in the place.
