We had one Night in the Ama Eco Lodge and it was so very nice! We felt very welcomed and the host and his family are so friendly! The Lodge itself has AC and a Fan. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is like on the pictures with a nice bathtube. In addition we had the possibilty to have a delicious dinner and breakfast! We definetly can recommend the lodge!

It was a pity about the power cut but that couldn’t be helped.

A beautiful property! Such a quirky, fun jungle lodge! The outdoor bathroom was so memorable. Our host Banda was exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Really lovely family homestay. Perfect location for our 2 nights in Sigiriya and one of our favorite breakfasts of our whole stay.

Absolutely nothing.

My stay here was truly exceptional. The cleanliness, outstanding breakfasts, and efficient hot water and fan made it the best place I've stayed in Sri Lanka. Banda's attentive service, ensuring I had water whenever needed, and the delightful outdoor bathroom added to the overall relaxing experience. A heartfelt thank you for hosting me, Banda!

A comfortable chair would be useful to sit outside but we did use the chairs from the balcony area for comfort.

The Amo Eco lodge is surrounded by amazing plant & animal life! The owner Banda is extremely friendly & helpful with suggesting places to visit & transport Breakfast is varied & tasty & we had 2 evening meals cooked by Banda's mum which was excellent. We really enjoyed our 2 nights here & would definitely recommend staying here if your planning to visit Sigiria.

If you need a sign to book Ama Eco Lodge, this is your sign. We had an amazing stay with Banda and his family. Banda helped us a lot, gave us a lot of tips (Anu's Mom restaurant!) and he and his brother drove us around when able. The lodge is brandnew, clean and the bed is very nice. Breakfast is until now the best we had in Sri Lanka. So fresh.

We spent two absolutely wonderful nights at Ama Eco Lodge. This is a one room lodge on the beautiful property of the host, Banda, surrounded by lush gardens and palm trees and in a perfect location. The lodge is beautifully designed and very comfortable, and we particularly enjoyed showering under the stars. Banda is an exceptional host. He arranged a wonderful itinerary for us, encompassing Kaudulla National Park (we had an amazing Safari and saw over 100 elephants!), Lion Rock, and Polonnaruwa. His local knowledge was invaluable in helping us with arrangements. His enthusiasm and knowledge about the natural area is wonderful, he showed us the fireflies at the village lake and the weaver birds in a nearby field. We also ate dinner there both nights, which was delicious! The breakfasts each morning were our favorite in Sri Lanka — maybe the best fruit we have ever had! We highly recommend saying at Ama Eco Lodge, our only regret was not being able to stay for another night! Thank you Banda and family!

Nothing. Everything was great!

It was the best place we stayed at during our time in Sri Lanka! Banda is so nice, extremely caring, he told us so many interesting things about Sri Lanka and Sigiriya. The food is cooked by his mother and it was one of the best dishes we had during our entire trip. The house is also completely new and very clean. You should definitely come here if you can. Couldn’t be better :)

Nothing! It was better then we expected!

Very friendly and helpful owner. Beautiful place with amazing garden. It’s very clean!!! So far the best stay we’ve had in SriLanka. Delicious breakfast (with fresh fruits from the garden) and great hospitality! Pleasant surprise. Owner gave us a flashlight and told us about nearby lake where we can see fireflies. We did and also spotted a crocodile swimming in the lake(little night safari was great!) We heard that sometimes you can see wild elephants at night or early morning.

Nothing we enjoyed it a lot

- Banda is an outstanding host. He made us feel at home and was really helpful at any stage of our stay - food was amazing and really generous, all cooked by Banda’s mum - the lodge is very well crafted with an open bathroom, a terrasse in the middle of a beautiful garden and a balcony from where you can spot monkeys or tucanos - location is a bit remote and close to a lake. We really enjoyed the peaceful and natury vibe of the place

No AC and the place was really hot, but luckily there is the fan. The mosquitos outside during evening time are a lot so make sure to close the door (even in the bathroom) if you don’t want to get bite all night long :’)

The room is beautiful, and the garden outside looks like you are in the middle of the jungle. The breakfast is everyday different with a lot of local dishes. The owner is really friendly and we enjoyed having conversations with him :)

Wow! Such beautiful accomodation in the most magical setting. Our stay at Ama Eco Lodge was nothing short of amazing. Banda, our host, and his wife were so kind and helpful— organising tuk tuk’s, showing us local spots and cooking us the most delicious Sri Lankan breakfasts each morning. It is perfectly located to explore Lion’s Rock and the Dambulla Cave Temple. The accommodation itself was heavenly. The outdoor bathroom has a beautiful shower and big tub— perfect for cool baths under the palm trees after a long day of exploring. The patio out front, where meals are served, is surrounded by lush plants and trees of every kind! This meant lots of wildlife coming to visit, even a toucan!

Great place! We had booked two nights and wanted to extend! This place is so beautiful! If you are looking for a place to recharge, I would recommend this place. This unique complex has one room, so you will enjoy an exclusive experience. The bathroom is amazing and the room super clean. The location is perfect and the garden beautiful. The owner is super nice, a.o. he prepared last-minute a diner, he saw that I was tired after a trip and gave us a juice and he gave a wonderfull night tour, all without expacting anything in return.

The accommodation was a dream. we have never felt so comfortable there. The price-performance ratio is unbeatable and the host was so friendly, helpful and courteous and has a very big heart. We can absolutely recommend this accommodation to everyone. We really enjoyed the exchange and the talks and would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to Bandha and his family. We wish you all the best, be protected.

That we have to leave this beautiful place!! Can't wait to be back

This place is unique!!! Not only the location is peaceful and quiet but the family who runs it is simply adorable. They made our stay so comfortable and unforgettable!! Banda is such a great host, he's very attentive and helpful. Always ready to offer whatever U need and with a big smile in his face 🙂 he took us to watch the sunrise at Pidurangala Rock, helped us to organise a Safari tour to see the elephants at Hurulu Eco Park, got us an appointment for a massage and drove us there, found us a place to exchange money and even dropped us at the bus station the day we left, not before making sure that we saw the Golden Temple at Dambulla and waited for us. Breakfast are delicious and made with love, we could feel in every gesture that they are happy when guests are happy. As happy as I was with the coconut curry and the majestic outdoor bath 😄 Absolutely fantastic!! On top of this I was having my bday while there and they prepared me a surprise party with balloons, flowers, a cake with my name on it and they even put in my head a leaf crown made by them. This was simply unexpected and U guys made my day as one I will never forget!! Thanks for dancing and celebrating with me, U are beautiful people inside out! I've travelled a lot in my life and from the bottom of my heart, I've never found a place like this so I totally recommend it to everyone (plus there is a lake just 2 min walking where U can enjoy the sunset and see lots of fireflies at night) Thanks again for everything Banda & family, U are angels! 💙

nothing to add here, as we liked everything!

This place is a Garden of Eden! It is so beautifully built, so comfortable and quiet, that it had become one of my most favorite places in the world! The host is sooo helpful and friendly, like I have never experienced it anywhere else before. He arranged everything we needed, helped when our TukTuk broke down and even drove us around for free, when we didn’t feel safe enough to drive ourselves (at night time there were wild elephants on the road). There was even a huge male elephant passing by one night and Banda (the host) called us to see it. The bed is super comfortable and in the morning we were woken either by the wonderful singing of birds or the two Tucans that visit the balcony on the upper floor every other day and knock on the glass. Behind the house (2min walking distance) is a beautiful lake where you can swim, watch the sunset and at night time see an enormous amount of blinking fireflies in the surrounding trees. The garden surrounding the house gives you a feeling of sleeping in the middle of the jungle and the sounds of the many birds bring this idyllic paradise to completion. Breakfast was so good every day and we absolutely recommend having also lunch and dinner here, as it was the best cooking we tasted in whole Sigiriya and also by far the cheapest. You can ask for special wishes of what you want to eat and they will prepare it exactly as you like (in huge amounts). An absolute highlight was the open air bathroom 🤩 I would give full 10 Stars if possible and I definitely will come back here whenever I am near Sigiriya 😃

Bando is the most amazing, helpful and kind host. The food is fantastic. The rooms huge (w/ great balcony too on our room). The shower is the best we’ve had here. It’s great location for going to the lion rock and other stuff in the area (also recommend the village tour near the accommodation too - another highlight of our trip). Also lovely to sit and read a book/ get a bit of work done (if you’re a digital nomad, this place is a hidden gem). Wish we’d been able to stay much longer but we’ll definitely be back! Insane value for money. Book it - their reviews and high score say all you need to know!

We really liked sigirya and the house where we stayed. For those who like nature close by, it's perfect. The room is big enough and the bed is comfortable. beautiful natural bathroom. There is a loft with trees to spend the evening very quietly. We spent one day but very happily. The owner of the Cottage even made himself available to pick us up in City on arrival, as well as to take us in his tuk tuk to all places.It Is Free Of Charge .

We had the most amazing time. The Cottage is beautiful! Ideally situated in the Place In Sigiriya, you are close to all attractions by Walking Distance The Cottage is in a beautiful and quit. Staying there for one day is not enough for us but we had to leave it for our future trips we had planned. Very beautiful quiet environment friendly and can stay there with free mind.
