Featuring a terrace with garden views, a garden and a shared lounge, Sigiri Lion Lodge can be found in Sigiriya, close to Sigiriya Rock and 4.6 km from Pidurangala Rock. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house features parking on-site, a sauna and a 24-hour front desk. Eventhough this property is listed in the (2021) lonely planet, it or its owner havent lost any of their charm. Flawless place with clean rooms, a decent breakfast and a superb host. Both rocks can be reached by foot and there are plenty of food optins in the area. We would come again for sure.

Accessible via private entrance, all units have air conditioning, soundproofing, desk and a private bathroom with a shower. All units come with a patio boasting an outdoor dining area. At the guest house, units come with bed linen and towels. Harsha and his family are super friendly hosts. He lives with his wife, mother and very cute children in a beautiful spot, very close to the main street, but far away enough from the road to be very quiet and calming. They started their homestay around 8 months ago, which means everything is still very new. The room is nice, clean and the huge bed is especially comfortabele. Harsha is still also a farmer and runs a plantation around his house filled with numerous crops. The homestay is in the middle of his impressive and very beautiful garden. We got a very nice (and affordable) cooking class from him and his friendly wife. We started by gathering the ingrediënts from the garden and Harsha can tell you a lot about them from his expertise. We ended up making delicious Sri Lankan food and learnt a lot about Sri Lankan cuisine. With all 10s in his reviews we hope to bring him and his family good fortune in the future.

Offering a garden and garden view, Simoya Nature Park is set in Dambulla, 19 km from Sigiriya Rock and 22 km from Pidurangala Rock. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the guest house free of charge. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk and full-day security for guests. The property was beautiful and the room was spacious, modern and well designed. But the real highlight was the husband and wife team, Madhu and Sanjee. They went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable. I felt so well taken care of—like coming home to family.

Guests staying at this guest house have access to a terrace. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. Really lovely large room overlooking the fauna - we were lucky enough to see a large squirrel in the tree in the morning. Was well placed for different eating options and for access to Pidurangala which my son wanted to climb the following morning. It was down a driveway with a lovely garden and was quiet. Nice breakfast with choices.

He did not even charged extra money for early check–in. The breakfast & dinner we got at night was beyond expectation. Foods were delicious and representing the authentic Sri Lankan taste. The environment was lovely & the location was very close from Lion rock. We are greateful to Mahinda dada and his family for the amazing hospitality... ❤️
