'What did you like?' ... What didn't I like?? First of all, Saman fixed us a ride from Wilpattu to Sigiriya on short notice. Throughout our stay he fixed our transportation many times for a fair price, even early in the morning. He gave us helpful tips and when we wanted to extend our stay because we liked it so much, he fixed us another great hotel since he was fully booked. Saman's wife was also super kind and helpful + prepared a great breakfast! And their son was amazingly sweet and helpful as well. The location was incredible as we were super close to both rocks (why else would you be in Sigiriya?). The place looks very nice as well and is away from the road - so no noise. The whole experience was great for us, nobody pushed us into doing or buying anything - but we were guided towards our own needs and wishes. My girlfriend and I definitely recommend Sigiri Saman Home Stay 100%, and we would gladly stay again at this very welcoming and kind family.

I had a great stay here! The homestay is run by a little family, both the dad and son are super nice - the son picked me up from the airport for a super reasonable price, waited for me when my plane was delayed, gave me super nice tips and was just super friendly overall. They are super knowledgeable about the area, recommended and booked activities for me and drove for example as well to the base of the pidurangala rock for the sunset hike. The breakfast was also lovely and really really tasty - will def recommend to all my friends coming to sri lanka!

Everything was perfect. The owner Saman, his family and his staff were such lovely and welcoming people. They went out of their way to help us throughout our stay. They gave advice on what to do, arranged tours and helped us get on a bus to kandy. Saman also packed us breakfast for the bus trip! The location is perfect directly across from lions rock and 300m into the main town. If you walk to the left or right there’s plenty of food options. The facility was beautiful and the breakfast was amazing. No complaints and we would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting sigiriya.

What a fantastic find. We saw it was recommended highly so gave it a try. Firstly Saman and his family were so helpful from the minute we got there. Saman helped plan our 2 days in Sigiriya. From the rock climb, to a wonderful massage later. Then the following day a Safari. He even organised our evening meal for us. Thank you so much Saman for being a great host

Exceptional place !! Very kind hosts! Beautiful, peaceful house in the middle of nature. Perfect location just 15 minutes from the Lyon’s Rock. Comfortable, clean accommodation. Excellent breakfast and dinner that we highly recommend!Little tip, if you arrive tired later in the evening and want to see the sunset, go to Mapagala, it's just above the house and only takes 5-10 minutes hike ;)

Super Location to Sigiri Lions Rock in walking distance. Very good breakfast. Comfortable room and very good service. They also arranged a safari for us.

This is a great place to stay in Sigiriya! Saman is most helpful, he helped me arrange an amazing safari and gave good advice. He also responds very quickly when you contact him. The room is spacious, clean, comfortable and has everything you need, including a kettle, AC, a hair dryer, mosquito net, good wifi and a fridge. The homestay is in a quiet street by the main road, a 5 min walk from restaurants, markets and cafes. It is also a convenient location to reach the Lion’s Rock (15 min walk). Last but not least, breakfast was great! I would definitely stay here again!

Nothing!

Welcoming hosts who are respectful and professional, creating and maintaining a safe environment which is appreciated as female travelling alone. Accomodation is walking distance to attractions and all restaurants in Sigiriya. Host made contact upon booking providing travel advice, was happy and available anytime to assist with guests requests. Extremely comfortable large room with ensuite. Linen spotless. Kettle facilities in the room which was appreciated! I was unwell during the stay, Saman was compassionate in providing advice to access healthcare and assistance if needed, I required to extend the stay which was kindly accommodated. Delicious daily breakfast with very generous portions! Peaceful environment, lovely to rest, listen to birds and watch the monkeys. Thank you for a lovely stay, if available I encourage to book straight away!

It was absolutely perfect! There was nothing we didn't like.

We had a warm welcome at this home stay and got everything explained and organised for the duration of our stay. They are so friendly and helpful! The home stay is located in beautiful green surroundings and is very calm and quiet. A comfortable and spacious room and a delicious breakfast. All that within walking distance to town for bars and restaurants and to the main sightseeings.

Really nothing…just get a torch light to walk the 200m distance to the main road when going out for dinner.

Close to everything by foot (restaurants 5 min, Lion’s rock 20 min., pidurangala rock 40 min.) but still in very quiet surroundings. The garden is extremely relaxing and the bungalow has all you need (even a small fridge) : aircon works smoothly, wifi was good and hot water is part of the deal. This guesthouse clearly is above expectations and should definitely be on the top of your list.

Generally everything is a good value for the price here, maybe AC could sound a bit less, it is a bit loud.

The location is great, just 5-10 min by walk to the main road where you can find some cafes. Also, the environment: you are staying right in the middle of nature with lush greenery and different animals and birds. Owners can give recommendations about the places, even arrange something, like tours, tuktuk, bicycles etc. (but for intercity car trips I would suggest to check some different options for a better price). Breakfast for 2 people was huge and good🙈

Amazing and friendly hosts with plenty of knowledge of the local area. Breakfast was amazing in quality and quantity and the location is very peaceful amid lush greenery but still within walking distance to town.

Nothing to dislike

Saman and family were wonderful and welcomed us so warmly. The location is absolutely ideal as it’s across the road from Lion Rock, and the bedroom was exactly what you need. A lovely garden to relax in and Saman sorted us the bus to Kandy in the morning with a take away breakfast!
