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.

Fun place to stay! The owners were really characterful and friendly. It's right in the jungle and the garden is like a jungle too. The room was great, very clean, hot running water and really well kitted out rooms - Good AC, a stocked fridge with cold drink minibar type setup, kettle, tea/coffee, a big washing bowl handy for washing clothes. The entrance to Sigriya is directly opposite the access road to this place - you could not stay any closer, so ideal for an early morning start up the rock. The Breakfast here is absolutely stunning, 18 different items, all cooked by the host in the morning, hoppers, pancakes, little omelets, jaffles.. it just keeps coming out! We had our own tuktuk so driving around, going out at night wasn't a big deal, and the owner can easily organise a tuktuk pickup as this guesthouse is set back into the jungle. A 5min walk from main road in the daylight but maybe not something to try in the dark. We would happily stay again!

The property is literally in the jungle, and there are plenty of animals roaming around, from fireflies to birds, monkeys, reptiles and frogs, one even came out of the sink, but no worries, he was friendly. We had an observation tower above our room, which put us right above the treetops. Tasty food and very hospitable staff. You won't go wrong choosing tree trails for your stay in Sigiriya.

Couldn't have imagined a better homestay. The host family is super welcoming, will go above and beyond to make you feel truly at home. Especially amazing were the sri lankan dinner and breakfast. If you want truly authentic experience, you have to visit. Truly lovely place, wish we stayed a lot longer!

This home stay is just everything u need in Sigiriya. perfectly located in the middle of the village. The hosts are very attentive and help a lot if u want to arrange activities or transportation for a fair price (arranged 4:45 am tuktuk for sunrise hike, safary, transport to Dambulla and other cities. They also offered us a dinner for 1800 rupees, which was cheap compared to local restaurants and the best food we had in the area!! Price value ration is definitely good, especially since u ought to pick an accommodation in this range cause entrance fees and activities are quite pricy there. Highly recommend!

We booked the Treehouse for one night, but loved the place, thus extended the stay for one night more. The Treehouse is new and clean with double bed and big terace in 2nd floor, open dining area and WC in 1st. We liked the feeling to live in the jungles, admire wonderful view of Pidurangala rock. The family runs only one tree house, so you can fell absolutely privacy. The owner Dominda and his family were very hostile and helpful. We come to the place late, so they offered to prepare us dinner, that was very delicious. Breakfast was also really good, with a lot of Sri Lankan dishes. Dominda helped us to plan our trips around. He also showed us a view of point at the lake with astonishing panorama of Pidurangala and Lion rock. Thanks a lot for a wonderful stay and unforgettable impressions :)

Great hospitality ,so reasonable and valuable experiences. I swam in near lake with host family.Locals wash their bodies and clothes there. so I also washed my body. Host took me the Rock to watch sunrise, it was so beautiful view ,on the way home fortunately I saw wild crocodile. After that I rode an elephant (5000LKR required). They served so delicious and local breakfast. He was the best host ever. If you stay here,your satisfaction with staying in Sigiriya will be greatly improved.

I really loved staying at Pidurangala View Home Stay ♥️ the hosts are amazing, super kind and attentive and will help you to organize your schedule so you can make the most of tour time. Also, the location is incredible, it is a 10 min walk to the entrance to the Lion Rock and a 5min walk to the entrance of Pidurangala. Those walks are so scenic, you can spot monkeys, butterflies, peacocks, it is perfect. The food is so delicious, I totally recommend that you have dinner at this homestay, it is SO delicious 🙏🏻 Loved the hosts ♥️

The location was fantastic to see both rocks, our lovely host even organised a 5am tuk tuk for us to view Pidarangula Rock for sunrise. The homestay is also walkable distance to a lovely restaurant called Nirwana. Breakfast was delicious and the view from the terrace of Lions Rock is unmatched. You are really in the middle of the jungle here!

we really enjoyed the location of the homestay as it is located a bit outside of the main road/tourist area. Free drinking water is available and if you pre-order it, you can also eat lunch and dinner there. Jayanti's lovely dog Lora was very friendly towards us and Jayanti hereself is a great host (we didn't have the chance to book it but she also offers cooking classes)
