I stayed in my own private treehouse, but the size is also perfect for couples, friends.. and it’s a real luxury to have a bathroom up there, as well as the bed which was amazing. The people were very friendly and offered a ride to watch the sunset every day which was very nice,

The food is insanely good (seriously, don’t miss their dinners!), and the atmosphere at night is pure magic. Ended up staying longer than planned because it just felt like home. If you’re coming to Sigiriya, this is the place to be! 🌿✨

All guest rooms at the hostel are equipped with a seating area. Every room is equipped with a shared bathroom with a bidet, free toiletries and slippers. All units at Sigiri Serenity Hostel include air conditioning and a safety deposit box. 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
