Funk Bunks - Sigiriya

Situated far from the city center so no pick mes or ubers will come. Reception will call one for you to go into town for about 500 rupees. Free dinner and breakfast, but just plain sri lanken food. They have a small cafe to buy water or meals. The bathroom was incredibly moist and humid, and the toilet stalls were tiny. Floors were flooded and ants all over. Free shampoo/shower gel. AC in rooms but I think mine had bed bugs or mites as I had a bunch of little bites on me after staying here.

Staff was nice, breakfast and dinner buffet was great! It’s a bit far out so you’ll always need ti catch a ride (at least after 5pm because if the elephants). Unfortunately we had bed bugs (mid/end February 2026) in our dorm. They were taking care of the situation when we left, so it might be better now.

the bed below me and in the dorm next door had bed bugs but the staff seemed to have taken this pretty seriously as they put the mattresses out and deep cleaned the affected beds. Power and wifi went out for about 7 hours and the region has spotty 5G. ground on the bathroom stalls always has giant puddle so the bottom of pants get wet. lining outside shower is fake grass that it always wet. Conditions normal of other Sri Lankan hostels though. Staff is friendly and cares. Breakfast is very good
