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. Great value accommodation close to Lion Rock. Kind, friendly, and informative host. Thank you for the 5:30am Tuk Tuk ride to the Rock. Highly recommend a hike up the stairs to the summit too despite the $35 USD entrance fee.

Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The homestay offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. After somewhat difficult arrival because of the night rain and small car we had :-) we were kindly welcomed by our nice host Kumari, with whom we had an really interesting evening conversations during our stay. The room is nice and equipped. The breakfast was very good, freshly prepared, with local specialities. Located in a small settlement inside the jungle, one can really enjoy the nature around - and visit Sigiriya and surroundings.

At the homestay, units are fitted with a desk. With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and slippers, units at the homestay also have free WiFi. At the homestay, units are equipped with bed linen and towels. Samanthi's homestay felt like a home from home. The room smelt lovely and fresh as soon as you entered. Huge double beds, very clean. Surroundings were amazing. Set in a residential area with neighbours going about their everyday jobs. We had our best night's sleep here. Breakfast was amazing and Samanthi made sure we had a different dish on each day. Great host, amazing room and we would definitely recommend to other people. Thanks Samanthi and family.

This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The guest house offers garden views, an outdoor fireplace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The patties were some of the best I’ve ever had. They also served bananas grown on their own farm, called "Naga bananas." I was surprised by their rich, sticky texture. Whenever I asked for help with things I wanted to do or places I wanted to visit, they immediately made arrangements. They were incredibly reliable and helpful. Also, their child was so cute—it was very heartwarming.

Towels and bed linen are available in the homestay. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and soundproofing.

The homestay specialises in a continental and Full English/Irish breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. As an added convenience, Pidurangala View Treehouse offers packed lunches for guests to bring on excursions and other trips off-property. I loved sleeping in a forest-like environment. I really missed it, and this treehouse was a lovely stay in that regard. The noise/sounds/music from the forest at night is the best. We really enjoyed everything: the treehouse, the view on the rock, the Loris tour at night, the breakfasts/lunches/dinners, and the simple but clean facilities, the safari... Make sure to discuss with the host about the different activities you can do around the rock (time, price, etc.). The host will help you out the best that he can, including dropping you at 5am at the bottom of the rock if necessary! Very kind family, business encouraged, I would come back there 100%.
