Room was lovely, big bed and misquote net. Shower had hot water and there was a lockable cupboard for valuables. Hosts were so kind, very helpful and genuinely wanted to make sure everyone had a nice stay.

Kostha and Isuru are incredibly good hosts. They showed me around the neighbourhood as soon as I arrived. After swimming in the lake, they took us to a secret viewpoint from where you could see Lion Rock and Pisurangala. The next day they got up extra early to show us the sunrise, which was extremely worthwhile. After that, they showed us the whole day and I saw places that I would never have seen otherwise. It was a great stay that I will never forget!

We stayed here as a group of friends and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The host was incredible – he ordered and organised things for us, gave us loads of tips about the local area, and even went above and beyond when my friend left her bag at a bus stop. He actually tracked it down and drove it back to us! His whole family were so kind and welcoming, which made us feel completely at home. Breakfast was amazing every morning, and the beds were huge double bunks, super comfy after a long day exploring. Honestly, the host and his family made the trip for us – such a special place to stay

I fell in love with this hostel <3 Before staying there I thought hostels wouldn't be for me, but this hostel, this experience, changed my mind completely. Staff took good care of travellers and is super friendly and outgoing since they played boarding games with travellers in the evenings besides that they organized many adventures during the days. There were a sunrise and sunset hikes, elephant safari and lake swimming organized by the staff so you won't get bored while staying at this hostel. I highly recommend for solo travellers!

This was a small hostel attached to a very kind families house in a PERFECT location. Breakfast everyday was delicious, cooked by the family who were hosting. Traditional Sri Lankan food and it was amazing (especially given it was free of charge with the booking). The location was impeccable with a maximum 10 minute walk to any of the things we were wanting to do. Host gave plenty of recommendations of activities and even organised some of our plans without taking commission or requesting extra money (even got one of his friends to give us a tuktuk ride for free at one point!). We stayed in the non-aircon room and whilst it was a little hot and stuffy at times, overall the fan and open windows provided more than enough refuge from the heat. Would 100% recommend this stay to anyone looking to spend a few nights in Sigiriya, overall great value for money. An experience worth far more than what we paid!!! THANK YOU!!!

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The common area is very well put together, gives homie-vibes and it's very prone to meet other travelers in the hostel. The staff of the hostel, also, promote a good integration for everybody, organizing certain activities in group that everyone can participate in, like going to the lake, watching sunset in a secret place or doing BBQ Best hostel for backpackers and solo travelers no doubt Ah, and the food is amazing. Excellent really
