    The cleanest room we had in all of Sri Lanka! Rooms are modern, spacious, comfortable and quiet (set back in the property away from the road). The location is a few minutes from the main town but close enough to Lion Rock and some very nice restaurants nearby. The hosts were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was one of the best we had in Sri Lanka...lots of food and a nice variety of fresh fruits and Sri Lankan dishes.

    Great location and facilities, really friendly host, cute garden, yummy Sri Lankan breakfast included, room with A/C and mosquito net, quiet surrounding (only 2 rooms). I highly recommend this place. Thanks also to Manju, friend of the family, that took me everywhere in tuk tuk for a fair price :)

    Stunning views all around, friendly staff, great pool, Shana was a great host. The location was perfect for climbing Sigiriya, but was not so central that you you missed out on spending time in nature. It was great for a weekend away from Colombo seeking peace and quiet.

    Great value for money. It was the cheapest place we stayed in Sri Lanka by a long stretch and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised with what you get for paying so little. Place is charming and cosy and clean, beds are comfortable, food is good, hosts are wonderful. Location is perfect for exploring Sigiriya and around it.

    Really quaint guesthouse right in the nature within walking distance to both the rock that overlooked Sigiriya and also Lions rock. The host Wasanti was just wonderful, with such a warm and helpful demeanour. We ended up eating there both nights as her cooking was so good.
