Awesome family hostel. Very kind and accommodating. Outside It’s like you are living in a safari. Amazing view of sacred rock. Bedrooms very comfortable. Location is nice , away from the main road but still walking distance from Sigiriya rock.

Wir haben 3 Nächte hier verbracht. Die ganze Familie war sehr freundlich und hat uns immer geholfen und viel mit uns geredet. Die Unterkunft war sauber und das Frühstück jeden Morgen sehr gut. Am Nachmittag haben sie uns gratis verschiedene Snacks gebracht und wir konnten jederzeit nach Wasserflaschen fragen, welche nicht verrechnet wurden. Weil es viele wilde Elefanten gibt, haben sie uns am Abend auch mal kostenlos mit dem TukTuk gefahren.

Nalin is een hele lieve host die alles voor je wil regelen. Ook is hij oprecht geïnteresseerd, neemt hij de tijd voor je en waardeert je mening. Nalin heeft ons verblijf in Sigirya extra waardevol gemaakt. Het hostel is van alle gemakken voorzien zoals airconditioning, lockers, hangmatten, een fantastisch uitzicht en dus een eigenaar die je onder zijn hoede neemt. Wat ons betreft zeker een aanrader voor wie houdt van persoonlijk contact in een natuurlijke omgeving.

Overall enjoyed my stay. Everything was clean, beds were comfortable, wifi was good, its close to Lion rock and pidurangala. Also few restaurants/ groceries nearby. However has a bit of an odd vibe, as theres not really a social area and its more of a homestay. Enjoyed the cooking class and breakfast was nice, but there is also no lockers and couldnt really lock the dorm rooms as its a bolt on the door and people are in/out different times. Did feel a little pressured for tours/services.

We had such a lovely stay here, Nalin and Song were so accommodating and had such nice little touches such as having breakfast ready for you and making a homemade dinner, they even helped sort out any things we needed such as taxi’s, experiences, tuktuks and arak. Would recommend! Thank you

I loved my stay with Narin and Song. They were so friendly and they organised so many great experiences and things to do. Being around their family was a very wholesome experience yet sociable enough with other tourists. I'd definitely recommend
