Pros:

Very comfortable resort. Pool, although small was welcomed after a lot of walking. Ingria, the manager was terrific. We had good conversations at the end of each day. The resident cat and visiting frogs kept us entertained.

The staff were so kind and helpful, they arranged our safari for us which was great. Breakfast every morning was nice. The room was clean and spacious with a comfy bed. The views from the pool were lovely. Within walking distance to a few restaurants.

Don’t miss out on this gem in Sigiriya!
Pros:

Absolutely the best stay for us in Sri Lanka. Nice to get away from the city noise and enjoy a pool by the greenery and calmness. The room is spacious and has everything you need, plus super comfortable. Breakfast is thought through and delicious. Located close to the Lion Rock and the neighbourhood itself has nice restaurants nearby and full of friendly people! Manager is very helpful and speaks good English! I will never forget how chill this accommodation truly was. 10/10 recommend!

Not happy.
Pros:

The one staff member was lovely. He was very helpful with our luggage and organising transports. He didn’t speak much English but tried his best.

Cons:

Our room door was incredibly difficult to open and shut. It scraped across the floor and was unable to lock from the inside. The aircon was stuck on 20 degrees and wouldn’t turn off making it freezing inside the room. The power turned off about 4 times a day. No wifi and no one told us we had to pay cash at the end.

Authentic, calm and peaceful.
Pros:

It’s stunning and authentic. The pool area and outlook are so beautiful. The owner is so friendly, kind and welcoming with plenty of vision for the space.
If you’re basing yourself in Sigirya for a few days then I do recommend this place.

Cons:

Nothing really. Maybe just a few small things in the room - but nothing that affects the enjoyment of it.
