For the price point, this is an excellent stay for value. The property is like a little jungle oasis with many beautiful plants everywhere. The rooms are huge and super clean compared to some other places we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka and also decorated with pretty art and beautiful wooden furnishings. The staff are super nice & extremely helpful. The pool is lovely, however, u should be careful not to jump around in the pool too much as my husband cut his foot on a tile at the bottom of the pool 😅 but the staff bandaged him quick and was super helpful. Other than that, the place is excellent & walking distance to the Main Street with cafes & restaurants. I would 100% come back to this guesthouse if I ever come to sigiriya again. Wish we could have stayed longer!! Breakfast is plentiful and good too.

We had a great stay here. This place is brand new so the rooms are clean,bed is comfy and shower is great for a cheap price relative to what you get. They have a pool also, which is critical as sigiriya is very hot and you need to cool down sometimes. Breakfast had everything you need, The staff was very attentive and friendly. The location is good, not that far from the rocks and has restaurants in a walkable distance Wifi signal was a bit slow

Location and accommodation was dreamy. A cabana in the jungle and a swimming pool in addition. Wonderful and nice owner who is very helpful. Dinner and breakfast was another highlight. I can only recommend staying there - it is on top only a 15 minute walk to Sigiriya rock.

This was the perfect place in the quite remote area of Sigiriya. With only 4 rooms, the staff was very attentive. Bernard (owner/manager?) helped us set up a tuk tuk as well as a safari to Minneriya National Park. Room was clean, air conditioning worked well. Pool was a nice touch, and the food at the restaurant was good as well.

This place is not a hotel, it’s home. Sanjaya and Ruan will make you feel like home! This is a beautiful, very well maintained paradise in the middle of nature, with all the comfort, amazing people and great great food. It was by far the best stay in our whole trip in Sri Lanka and one of best ever after visiting 30 countries. People make the place. Make sure you come here because you will not regret it for sure!

The room was very spacious, and the shower room was the biggest we had, the best shower in Sri Lanka. Shiron and the staff were very kind, helpful and humble. They helped with everything we needed. And the pool was a great bonus. About 20 minutes by tuktuk from Pindaragula rock which was beautiful on sunrise.

    Thank you Lakshan, Buwaneka, and the rest of the Ayugiri team for making my stay at your ayuverdic resort so special! They went above and beyond by arranging a complimentary pottery class and one-on-one yoga classes in addition to the 2.5 hours of daily personalized ayuverdic treatments. I was also able to enjoy nearly every meal in a different scenic spot on the beautiful Ayugiri property while observing fireflies or wild peacocks. Also, the rooms are so lush and beautifully designed with relaxation in mind! The staff were incredibly accommodating and gracious. And the ayuverdic treatments really helped my skin issues and helped me relax after a crazy travel schedule! Thank you for such special stay Ayugiri Team!

    This is a resort that everyone should experience at least once in their lives. From the welcome to the departure, you will have the best hospitality with a warm welcome. The staff is well-trained to be attentive at all times. A beautiful property full of nature. Warm, relaxing resort. The lady in the reception sorted our WhatsApp, laundry, drinks and every other request. Thanks to the grounds cleaners are immaculately kept the garden, sweeping from sunrise to sunset and contain many different trees, shrubs and plants as well as animals and birds, well worth taking a closer look at to appreciate.

    Nimal the property manager and his staff were great during our stay, and overall, we felt very taken care of. When we had trouble getting a tuk tuk via pickme/uber to get around, Nimal would help us get that sorted. No matter how late we got back, they'd always have someone waiting for us in the main concierge area to make sure everything's ok and get our breakfast order. When Nimal learned we were traveling to Ella on the day of checkout, he informed the kitchen staff and prepare a snack (delicious AND amazingly packaged sandwiches and bananas) and water for our travel. We'd stay here again!

    The hotel is unarguably a nature immersed gem with vines and plants growing all around the walls with which the monkeys that greet you good morning at your balcony navigates. With wild elephants and the sound of pure nature overlooking a big lake this hotel is purely worth every minute taken to reach. During the night you can see the fireflies flickering around the whole area. The facilities were top notch with beautiful decor and architecture that is mind blowing.

    There is so much more to do in this area than I realised. I will definitely come back. The area is beautiful and we were sad to leave. We dud Pidurangala Rock which was fun, more of an adventurous climb than Lions Rock. It has incredible views of Lions Rock. We also did a safari in Minneriya National Park. The park was beautiful and we saw so many elephants plus lots of varieties of birds, golden jackals, monkees, mongoose, the grizzled giant squirrel, buffalo and jungle foul. We also went to Dambula Temple Caves which is very spiritual and Luckgrove Spice Gardens which was an incredible experience. Highly recommend this area.

    We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.

    A beautiful place on earth that there are lots of 360 degree view points. But if it rains it will ruin your plans. So make sure you depend on weatherly and visit Matale when it shows many continuous sunny days. Even on cloudy forecasts do not visit as all mointain tops then will be covered and you will not see the sights. when it is humid leaches also will be active and will become a painful experience.

    A nice hike to view a breathe taking view. If anyone should travel to Sigiriya they should start to climb the rock at 5.30am as the ticket counters open. Wearing proper hiking or workout clothes would be the best.

    Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. We stayed there for 4 Nights and could cover the heritage sites easily. Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.

    Sigiriya is stunning and has a lovely village charm to it, compared to the tourist/backpacker mecca that is Ella. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from but it somehow doesn't detract and Sigiriya still feels very local and true to SL values.
