    The location was wonderful. With many decorative ponds and fish in them. The hostess was very kind, polite, pleasant and very beautiful. The breakfast is excellent, the room is very clean and cool: it was not hot. The hostess showed a river nearby with fish, a bridge and a hammock. We would have happily stayed here longer. I definitely recommend choosing this place and location!

    - you just need to be aware that the accomodation is not in town centre which has advantages and disadvantages

    - calm location, not next to main road - many good restaurants nearby - good Tuktuk service from host

    Nothing! It’s the best place you can stay in Sigiriya!

    The owners! Amazing couple running the place makes this place, which is very comfortable and well located. But the people there are the true gem! So helpful, genuine and always smiling! Do not search any longer, just book this place and you won’t regret! We also had delicious breakfast and dinner there!

    Excellente stay in Sigiriya. Located next to the river, close to main road and Lion’s Rock itself. Room was very clear, the bathroom also with hot water shower. The bed was with mosquito nest, but really didn’t need to use it. And the most important - the hosts. It was really nice experience to stay at their place. They gave us a pick up by tuktuk from the restaurant with our luggage, helped with scooter rental, made breakfast any time we wanted, helped with every single question we had. Highly recommended!

    Everything was perfect except weather. Acomodation is in beautiful garden. It is quiet place in good location, not far away from restaurants and enter to Sigiriya. I recommend you to order curry for dinner and you will not regret at all. Thank you for nice stay.

    Bathrooms could do with a little updating and the upstairs room had no AC. It was a bit too hot to sleep.

    The hosts are a lovely family who welcomed us with open arms. The rooms are cute and the property surroundings is like being in the jungle, monkeys overhead, fish to massage your feet and we even saw a monitor lizard and peacock.

    The hosts were so friendly and helpful, made sure we got everything we needed and went above and beyond driving us into town when needed, dining stores ahead of time for us and helping us find a currency exchange in town. They Booked the safari at a really good price for us. Breakfast and coffee was good and was even included in the price. Close to our room was a River and hammocks and was a lovely chill spot with Fun Little fish that nibble your feet ! Would stay again and would recommend. Quiet location close to town.

    But because it's in the wild (and I think it's including all of Sigiriya) you may have some company in the room like frogs, fireflies and more but it's part of the experience.

    The lovely couple is so attentive and sweet!. If you're there definitely don't skip the dinner. It is one of the best meals I've had in Sri Lanka. The rooms are clean and the beds we had were big and comfortable.

    Everything was amazing, the rooms were very comfortable and clean. The best part was the family, extremely nice and friendly, they helped us with any information we needed and provided us the best stay. They arranged for us the tuktuks to go to the Sigiriya’s Lion Rock and cooked an amazing dinner which you should definitely try! I really recommend this place!!

    Truly one of the most beautiful free places I have ever seen. Hospitality is top-notch. The whole family including Dinusha is very kind. We were treated well. The food was delicious. The birds singing in the morning brightened our day. The room is very clean..They also arranged a Safari for us. It was really a great experience for us. Riverside Lala homestay is a complete place for those who are looking for freedom. Thank you. Specially Family.
