Génial !
Pros:

Petit hôtel au calme, dans un joli jardin, piscine agréable et petit déjeuner servi avec goût dans cet environnement paisible. L’hôtel est à 15min à pied du départ des jardins du Rocher du Lion. Tuk tuks faciles à trouver tout près. Bref excellent hôtel pour découvrir Sigiriya pendant quelques jours.

Klein resort, erg gehorig, met leuk zwembad en aardig personeel.
Pros:

Een klein resort, nog steeds in de groei naar meer kamers. Nu stuk of 5 kamers waaronder 2 familie kamers. Wel extreem gehorig!
Heel aardige oppasser en dame die ontbijt maakt, maar communicatie lastig, hun Engels is gebrekkig. Gelukkig kom je met handen en voeten een heel eind.
Mooi zwembadje. Eenvoudige sanitair met beschimmeld plafond.

Oasi di relax immersa nella natura
Pros:

Il post è incantevole, immerso nella natura, con poco personale, ma gentilissimo, la piscina è veramente d'effetto e si godono momenti di vero relax, colazioni ottime, ciò che ci vuole dopo una scalata a Lion Rock o Pidurangala.

Cons:

Se non si cerca il lusso, ed io non lo cercavo, il resto non può essere criticato.

Dejligt område og sødt personale - men ellers meget lav standard
Pros:

Personalet var meget søde. I området var mange søde mennesker og oplevelser.
Morgenmaden var fin.

Cons:

Vi havde en rotte på værelset som boede i det ene skab. Personalet prøvede at fjerne den men det lykkedes ikke. Så rotten boede med os :-( der var slet ikke rent og der var ikke nogle af skabene eller reolerne der kunne benyttes.
Strømmen gik flere gange.

Pros:

Heel vriendelijk personeel. Lekker onbijt. Zalig zwembad. Genoeg ruimte.

Cons:

Er lagen veel matten in de hut en dit vonden we niet zo hygiënisch. De elektriciteit is tweemaal uitgevallen.

Buena alternativa para visitar puntos de interés de Sigiriya.
Pros:

El personal muy atento. Nos organizaron safari y prepararon el desayuno para llevar a la madrugada. También ofrecían servicio de tuk tuk.

Cons:

Nos alojamos en una habitación en la planta de abajo y los huéspedes de arriba hacían bastante ruido por la noche.

Very quiet and peaceful stay. Efficient and friendly staff. Great pool.
Pros:

2 Rooms very large and one room smaller. They are clean. Comfortable beds. The balcony is fantastic.

Localization: The resort is in a calm area, which is fantastic in terms of tranquility. But it is a relative (small distance walking or by tuck tuck) far away from supermarkets, restaurants and shops. Anyway it is a good place to stay to visit the main attractions of Sigiriya
Note that the resort is in a "wild" area, so there will be small animals, insects, and mosquitoes.

Staff: Very efficient and friendly staff. They solve all our problems. They were amazing. Thanks

Bathroom - Good. Shower with hot water but low pressure.

Breakfast: It was fantastic with a lot of food.

Pool - Fantastic and clean. It was amazing swim the pool

Wifi: Very Good

We definitely would stay more days at this resort.









.

Cons:

There is a very steep staircase to the rooms (and also to the smaller room), which may not be suitable for elderly guests.
The pressure of the water should be higher.

Tranquilidad en un viaje tan espectacular
Pros:

La tranquilidad que buscábamos la envidia tramos en este pequeño hotel . El lugar era un poco apartado pero se agradece después del ruidoso día tener una tranquilidad . Las habitaciones son amplias y limpias , tipo cabañas , con la piscina constantemente limpiándola . Muy buenos días hemos pasado

Cons:

Quizás el camino hacia llegar a él
