Zeer goede gastheer
Pros:

Zeer goede gastheer.
we waren er op een feestdag waardoor de meeste restaurants dicht waren, werd ik door gastheer op de scooter naar een restaurant gebracht die wel open was om eten te kunnen bestellen.
Gastheer deed er alles aan om het naar onze zin te maken.
Mooie plek, in de natuur, tussen de rijstvelden en een meer.

Cons:

Niets, was wel iets hobbelige weg om er te komen.

Very Bad stay and paying extra money for VAT - 18% for your stay.
Pros:

the cleanliness

Cons:

It was so difficult to reach the place as it is complicated in the map, as well as it is so far from the main road.
Not the exact pictures shown in the booking.com, we found horribly bad when we enter as it was not the same. Since it was night we spent over there. As well as even after we reserve the room, they ask at what time we are coming and they had to go for some repairs, meant their room was not ready. Actually we reserved at last minute and still it was pending, then we had to have our dinner until the room got ready and even the bathroom was smelly when we enter.

And specially, BE CAREFUL as they charge extra 18% VAT even though they do not pay it to the government, this owner even does not know anything. We assume that he was pretending that he does not know. Because he said Booking.com is charging them 18% and they repay to the Sri Lanka government. But I know personally, booking.conm never charge except their room commission which they agree with us. And the other thing, he is not ready to offer you a bill.

Since we know that we do not want to pay VAT for the booking.com, we questioned why are you charging VAT from us. He was totally disagree and he refused to give the bill as well as he was confirming, booking.com still charge from him.

The thing is service charge and VAT portion still you can edit from your property side and there is nothing to do with booking.com

Therefore, be careful they are charging extra money from you all showing up different kinds of things. Even for just black coffee he charged Rs.400

And bathroom does not have pressure pump and water comes very slowly. And the mosquito nets are very dirty.

Pros:

Объект расположен в таком аутентичном очень интересном и невероятно красивом месте. Рядом с отелем огромное озеро и рисовые поля. Хорошо работает кондиционер. Завтрак понравился. Можно увидеть белочек, интересных красивых птичек. Вдалеке за кроном дерева даже видно Сигирию. Невероятно добродушный и общительный парень Patum встретит вас со всей шри-ланкийской добротой и улыбкой

Loved the location further out of town and it was excellent for accessing Lion’s Rock.
The owner bent over backwards to help us out with whatever we needed.

Séjour merveilleux avec des hôtes incroyables
Pros:

L’accueil de Kansun et sa famille étais incroyable. Ils nous ont super bien conseillés sur les activités et les lieux aux alentours as des prix défiants toute concurrence. L’établissement est super, la piscine est un vrai plus et les petits déjeuners sont merveilleux. On as même eu droit à une visite avec lui et son frère avec les explications de chaque plantes, dégustation de fruits, épices de son jardin. Il nous as même conseillé sur le reste de notre aventure, en nous indiquant des lieux peu connus et en restant en contact avec nous même à distance afin de continuer à nous aiguiller. Merci encore pour ce temps passés avec vous.

Amazing hosts and beautiful place
Pros:

Super nice and helpful hosts. Beautiful nature and wildlife around. The breakfasts were really good. The hosts helped us find a taxi at a good price to go to the airport at the end of our stay. They provided help for other services (recommendations for nice viewpoints, safaris, massages, etc.) in the beginning and they are not pushy at all about it. We would most certainly come back here if we were to visit Sri Lanka again and we would spend more than 2 nights as there is more to do around Sigiriya than we had expected.

Good room for price, nice breakfast and family are very friendly. Elephant safari amazing!!!
Pros:

Beautiful area by a lake, family who owns property went above and beyond. On arrival sent activity options on WhatsApp. Where we booked a safari. Yummy breakfast. Shame they don’t provide food for evening or drinks throughout day. As a far walk to local bars/cafe.

Cons:

Room is very basic.
Sheets were single we had 2 for a double bed but abit too small for my partner who’s tall.

Bathroom shower needs improvement - 2 shower systems but one was hanging off the wall with zero pressure and would either be freezing water or boiling hot.

A good 30-40 min walk to sigiriya main town. We didn’t realise this. The road is very bumpy on way to accommodation. Tuktuk were expensive and Pick me app attempted to be used multiple times and had to ask owner to call a Tuktuk for us what was pricey. Sometimes no choice but to walk and heat can be to much.

2 minute walk to local lake was very nice.

Pool could do with simple adjustments - only 4 sun lounges. No place to put out of sun. Maybe umbrella could be helpful.
Also sun loungers were dirty with bird poo. Maybe more attention to detail.

Pros:

If we could, we would give this place 12/10!

Our stay in Sigiriya was absolutely amazing, and a huge part of that was thanks to Kasun and his brother. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had the best possible experience.

They helped us with everything – arranging taxis, organizing fantastic trips, and always being available whenever we needed anything. We also had the chance to taste delicious local food, and the breakfasts were simply outstanding every single day.

Everything was smooth, welcoming, and genuinely heartfelt. We felt taken care of from the very beginning.

Thank you so much, Kasun and your brother – we truly appreciate everything you did for us. We would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Sigiriya!
