Pros:

La familia muy agradable.
Las instalaciones muy bonitas en medio de la naturaleza.
El desayuno te lo sirven en una cabañita muy maja y muy bueno, esos rotis de Coco buenísimos.
La ubicación muy buena, al lado de una calle principal y al lado de la roca de león.
La entrada es regular a la casa, lleva el móvil a mano para iluminar tu camino

Buena ubicación y entorno
Pros:

La ubicación y el entorno es totalmente idílico. Ver a de restaurantes y tiendas. Nos ayudaron a contratar actividades. Las personas eran muy amables y el desayuno estaba muy rico.

Cons:

Cuando llegamos estaba lleno y nos realojaron en una habitación bastante regular en cuanto a comodidades. Finalmente nos hicieron un descuento en el precio pero deberían indicar en Booking que están llenos.

アットホームで素敵な場所でした
Pros:

シーギリヤで2拍しました。
1泊¥3000程度の金額が安めの宿なので多くは期待しませんでしたが、家族経営のアットホームな宿で、朝食はフルーツも付いてとてもおいしかったです。
敷地から大通りに出るとすぐにスーパーやレストランがあるので、とても便利な場所だと思います。
裏には小川が流れており、森林に囲まれているので、猿多めです。

Cons:

お湯はぬるかったですが、金額を考えるとこの程度かなと。
wifiは電波の入りも悪く、スピードも結構遅いので不便ではありましたが、のんびり旅行なので問題なかったです。

A very natural experience
Pros:

Breakfast and position. Also the jungle mood due to the forest around

Cons:

A mouse ate a piece of my bag in the night while I was sleeping. The noise woke me up but didn't see the mouse. In the morning I found my bag chewed by the mouse.

Stunning scenery and even more wonderful hospitality - we felt totally at home!
Pros:

The hosts are the most wonderful family. We arrived after a long journey and were welcomed with tea and smiles. Our room looked over a little stream and we could watch the monkeys and peacocks, and just felt immersed in nature. The location was amazing, just 15 mins walk to the Sigiriya ticket office and close to lots of great restaurants. The hosts also run a restaurant called Lake View Point which was delicious wirh stunning views! They arranged an amazing safari for us and every day we were welcomed home with warmth. We loved it.

Cons:

Nothing!

Nice hosts; the room we stayed requires critical fixes to make people feel at ease/relax
Pros:

Very welcoming and friendly family that run the place. The accommodation lies in the midst of jungle, with all things that come with that :)
The breakfast was fine, well served and housing location is close by the main touristic area, yet you do not hear the street noise.
The host can help to arrange (touristic) things and/or connect you to other businesses.

Cons:

Unfortunately our stay has been hindered by the presence of "some animal" in between the ceiling and the roof, which was making a lot of noise and squeaky cries. Some debris fell inside our room through holes in the ceiling. That has been disturbing, and did not help to have a relaxing sleep. Cleanliness can improve and we found the bathroom being rather smelly.

Convenient location, nice folks
Pros:

Cozy little homestay with decent rooms a block down a dirt road from the main street and restaurant area. Nice breakfast and family.

Cons:

Some things there might be considered well used, like chairs. Didn’t bother me, but might some.

Две ночи
Pros:

Отличное расположение, недалеко от центральной дороги, но там очень тихо, если не считать шум от обезьян) магазины, кафе все рядом. хозяева очень дружелюбные, не назойливые. Наши две ночевки прошли отлично.

Cons:

Скажу сразу, что жилье очень недорогое с отличным расположением. Поэтому минусы укажу, но цена качество все окей. В номере пахло сыростью и это исправить наверное будет крайне непросто, так как там тень . водопровод нужно починить, трубу просто выдавило из тройника и воды в душе не было. Полез сам , нашел по приличному ручью откуда льет , вставил трубу на место. Завтрак лучше что-то классическое , омлет чай фрукты.

Pros:

Super séjour. Famille accueillante et bienveillante. Chambre propre. Très bon petit déjeuner. Maison situé au fond d’une petite impasse donc au calme de l’agitation de la rue principale mais sans être trop éloigné de la ville et du rocher (nous y sommes aller à pied). Les propriétaires tiennent le restaurant Léon juste de l’autre côté de la rue (nous ne l’avons pas testé)
