Dinna's Nature Hostel is a little oasis on the outskirts of Sigiriya. The dorm room was very clean and comfortable and had so many lovely decorative touches that made it feel very homely. Dinna and his wife are so friendly and couldn't do enough to make sure everyone was happy and having a good stay. The food in the restaurant was SO delicious and the breakfast was amazing - fresh juice/smoothie, egg, toast and a banana pancake. If you're looking for somewhere chilled and comfortable to stay and are happy being a bit outside of Sigiriya, this is definitely the place to be!! Thanks again for a wonderful stay 🙏🏼🥰

Located in Sigiriya village within 800 metres from Sigiriya Rock and 2 km from Pidurangala Rock. Sigiri Peace Hostel offers spacious and quiet rooms with private and shared bathrooms. The property has a common chilling area with a pond full of fish in the middle. Free WiFi and pickup from Sigiriya bus stop are available.

I truly liked the place - clean, simple, with delicious local food and beautiful sunsets. To see the Buddha statue in the temple "next door" is a true bliss. The owners of the hostel are super helpful with anything you need in Sigiriya and Sri Lanka - best food places, ordering tuk-tuks as well as safari and guiding tours.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Service was exceptional- the owner even gave me a lift to an ATM and helped arrange transport. Breakfast was alright too. The overall vibe is very nice and it’s close to a big hostel that has a bar and organises cheap excursions you can join. Location is a bit far from everything - but if you know that before coming it’s fine. Also had dinner at the restaurant. Food was alright but waiting time quite long.

    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

    Just perfect - Roy has been able to build this amazing backpackers heaven offering different activities, family dinners all to produce a form of community! It is obviously not the cheapest hostel you can find but to be honest, it is completely worth it: the beds are extremely confortable, and Roy and his team will usually go out of their way so that you have a pleasant stay ❤️ I can’t thank them enough for this really great stay
