Pros:

Beautiful garden with coconut and mango trees.
The food was fantastic, all cooked by our host. She even gave us cooking lessons and the food was so incredible (just make sure you’re hungry because there’s a lot of it).
Room was lovely, enjoyed sitting out on the deck reading our books.
Family who run the place are so kind and helpful, organising a lot for us including all of our transport. Will be coming back. Have already recommended to friends.

Pros:

Super herziges und sehr sauberes Bungalow etwas abseits von Sigiriya. Kumari und ihre Familie sind sehr herzlich und haben uns alles organisiert und viele Informationen gegeben. Der Ehemann hat uns jeweils mit dem TukTuk gefahren.

Loved it, highly recommend!
Pros:

A beautiful jungle oasis, I could immediately see why it was reviewed so highly! Rooms are spacious, bed is large and comfortable. Hot water shower with good pressure (although you don't really need it). Air conditioner worked a treat. Stocked with lots of water, cold beers and soft drinks ready in the fridge. The food (breakfast and dinner) was fantastic. Lots of animals around, they have 2 dogs and a kitten on the property as well as a myriad of birds, squirrels, lizards, monkeys, etc. Place to park. The outdoor seating area is absolutely gorgeous... but the best part is Kumari who runs the lodges, she's so lovely and accommodating and showed world-class hospitality. I did a cooking class with her as well and learned so much about Sri Lankan culture. Book this place! You won't regret it!

We would recommend it 100%!
Pros:

We had a really great stay with Kumari and her family at the eco lodge. She helped us with every question and with planning activies and was always so kind and helpful! You have to take a short drive to reach the accomondation from sigiriya, but we would do it again every time because it was so calm, quiet and relaxing there and you are still close to the more touristic part of sigiriya. We loved the breakfast - Kumari even veganised it for us and it was great!
We also recommend to eat for dinner at hers, the coconut roti and vegetable kotthu were sooo good!
We planned to stay two nights but prolonged for a third one because we liked it so much:)

Cons:

Nothing

Definitely stay here for an amazing experience in Sigiriya
Pros:

Kumari was an amazing host, the food was incredible and she was so welcoming, as was her family, it’s a slice of paradise that you won’t regret visiting. You are outside of Sigiriya but it’s not a problem and Kumari can help to sort out Tuktuks to go visit sites or the centre.

Tranquil and Beautiful Setting
Pros:

Kumari and her family gave us the most wonderful warm welcome on arrival. Such a joy to meet her family. Delicious juice on arrival and amazing breakfast each morning.
The Jungle lodge is so peaceful and tranquil at the end of a busy day touring. The lush gardens are immaculate and full of wildlife to view from your comfortable decking.
We experienced Kumari’s fascinating Cooking Demonstration and so enjoyed the amazingly delicious end result! Kumari is such a talented cook explaining her methods so patiently and handed down through the generations. Thoroughly recommend! Other dishes are delicious too.
The room is so comfortable and clean. Such a peaceful nights sleep in the jungle.

Cons:

Everything was great.

Amazing place to stay while in Sigiriya
Pros:

Very kind and helpful owner and family. The food we had here for breakfast and dinner was incredible. The lodge is located on a quiet road, but very near the Sigiriya hotspots like Lion’s rock. Would definitely come back again!

Fantastické ubytování s vynikajícím jídlem a péčí.
Pros:

Kumštu je vynikající hostitelka. Misto je trochu odlehlé od hlavního turistického ruchu města, ale to nám vyhovovalo.. přijeli jsme až večer a trochu jsme měli strach o jidlo. Zeptali jsme se Kumaru, zda by bylo možno zajistit nějaké jidlo a ta nám velmi ochotně uvařila fantastickou večeři z domácích surovin z vlastní zahrady. Druhý večer nám opět připravila vynikající večeři, včetně vařených banánů kokosového kari, čočkového kati, kuřecího kari. Snídaně byly také vynikající a pro Evropana neznámé jídla. Určitě požádejte o kávu, která je z vlastní zahrady, nebo od maminky ze zahrady a fantasticky mango juice čerstvé vymačkaný z vlastního ovoce. Pokud chcete domácí jidlo, skvělou péči a klidné místo mimo ruch turistů, neni lepší volba. Kumaru nám ukázala i vlastní zahradu, kde pěstuje banány, mango, kávu, pepř, papáju, kokosy a další veci. Moc dekujeme Kumaru, bylo to skvěle.

Wat een gastvrije familie.
Pros:

Op een mooie rustige plek in de jungle, maar nog wel op bereisbare afstand van het dorpje.
