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.

The property’s location is superb! Walking distance to Lions Rock and the towns restaurants. The best thing about our stay is the family running the place. They are super friendly and very helpful with questions you may have. My girlfriend got food poisoning from one of the restaurants one night and they helped out with medicine lime beverage and other necessities. Absolutely recommend this place 😁

The nicest hosts during our two weeks in Sri Lanka. This is a nice, clean and well equipped accommodation (AC, hair dryer, drinking water, soap, etc.) in the middle of the jungle. The family is very kind and helpful. They made us a delicious dinner and Sri Lankan breakfast. For the dinner we could choose from a menu and everything was home cooked. They also waited us with a welcome drink (smoothie). They have an outdoor kitchen in their courtyard and spice garden, where cooking classes are held. Highly recommend this place for a few nights!

This stay was a dream this is a real homestay. The stay was above and beyond of our expectations. First of all Kumari and all her family recives us with open arms. Secondly the room is confy and tidy with ac and all the features. I reccomend you to sit and relax on the outside terrace and breathe a real srylanka lifestayle and enjoy the wildlife. Thirdly I really recoomend let Kumari prepare some food. I’m a celiac and she helped and gave us all the advice we needed. She gave us the best breakfast and dinner we have triyed in sry lanka by far. Evething was delicius with miticolously care. Also, she offer us a Safari wich was fantastic and even they pic us from the homestay. We saw lot of elephants. Do not think it twice, this is the best option around Sigiriya and Lion Rock.

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.

This treehouse and everything that comes with it was just incredible. We cant imagine better first days in Sri Lanka (nothing can beat this place after we experienced it). Location, surrounding nature and its sounds at night - I haven never slept this good ever in my life. On top of that, the family that owns this place really made us feel at home, their two little girls Dewni and Nethu that spoke beautiful english kept us company and it was fun to be around them. If you love dogs, this place was heaven on earth, they have 5 lovely dogs and one of them little puppy Maxi, we miss all of them already. And last thing - the homemade food - super delicious, the beast we had in Sri Lanka. When we told them we expect a baby, they took care of me as if I was their family member, always made sure I had plenty of food and when driving us to the city with tuktuk, they made sure we hit no bumps on the rode. Thank you again for everything and hope to see you again soon! Sending love to your family, girls and dogs.

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 ♥️
