Pros:

Ubicación buena, habitación muy aceptable.
Quisimos hacer actividad y el hijo del dueño nos ayudó a todo lo que necesitábamos. Hicimos un safari y muy bien.

Cons:

Hicimos una excursión y confiamos con el dueño, nos dio un precio muy alto, comparado con el pick me o cualquier taxi tuk tuk, se aprovechó de nosotros ya que no hablábamos mucho inglés. Y cuando le dije el problema no quiso responder, creo que al final hay que ayudar al turista y no aprovecharse.

Pros:

I had the most amazing time at Sigiri Liya Rest!!!The room is really big and also the bathroom. Both was super clean. I just loved chilling infront of the room and watching the monkeys and giant squirrel - real jungle feeling. Shaly and his family are super friendly and helpful. I did a saferi with shaly and it was just the best! He knows a lot about the animals. Another guest did a bicycle tour with Shaly and he showed him a lot of hidden local spots! Although Its no Hostel it was super easy to connect with other guests. I can highly recommend to stay there!! Also the Liyas Restaurant is really nice.

Cons:

I was sad leaving this beautiful place.

Pros:

Really recommend staying at Sigiri Liya Rest. The family running the guesthouse are the friendliest people, who go above and beyond when it comes to making sure you have a good stay.

The location is good, the rooms are quiet and comfortable, and the restaurant food is always freshly prepared, and tastes amazing.

We did a safari with Shaly, who clearly loved being in the national park, and shared his knowledge enthusiastically throughout. Shaly also took us to Trinco afterwards, at a good rate, with some great stop offs on the way.

We only wish we could’ve stayed longer. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

Pros:

A truly wonderful experience at Zigiri Lia Rest! We had the pleasure of both staying overnight and dining here, and everything was simply perfect.

The food was excellent, prepared with care and passion, with authentic flavors that won us over from the very first bite. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted down to the smallest detail.

But what made our stay truly special was the warm welcome from the entire family. The lady is incredibly kind, always helpful and smiling; her son is equally friendly and attentive; and her husband also made us feel right at home. You can really sense the love and dedication they put into their work.

We highly recommend it to anyone looking for not only great cuisine, but also a warm, family-run atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

Would you like me to adjust anything — make it shorter, longer, or add specific details about a dish or the room?

Cons:

nothing
