This was the perfect place in the quite remote area of Sigiriya. With only 4 rooms, the staff was very attentive. Bernard (owner/manager?) helped us set up a tuk tuk as well as a safari to Minneriya National Park. Room was clean, air conditioning worked well. Pool was a nice touch, and the food at the restaurant was good as well.

The room was very spacious, and the shower room was the biggest we had, the best shower in Sri Lanka. Shiron and the staff were very kind, helpful and humble. They helped with everything we needed. And the pool was a great bonus. About 20 minutes by tuktuk from Pindaragula rock which was beautiful on sunrise.

The room was spotless and incredibly comfortable, but what truly made this stay special were the owners—a sweet and welcoming couple who treated me like family. They were always ready to help, even offering rides whenever I needed them. One of my favorite moments was sitting in their beautiful garden, surrounded by nature, listening to birdsong while chatting with them. It felt like a little oasis of peace and warmth😊 If you're planning to visit Sigiriya Rock, Cave Rock, or the Golden Temple, this is hands down the best place to stay!!! The location is perfect for sightseeing, but more than that, the atmosphere here is something you won’t find anywhere else. I loved it so much that I ended up extending my stay for two extra days 😂 This hotel didn’t just give me a place to sleep—it made my Sri Lanka trip truly unforgettable. 10/10, highly recommend!!!!!

    Nimal the property manager and his staff were great during our stay, and overall, we felt very taken care of. When we had trouble getting a tuk tuk via pickme/uber to get around, Nimal would help us get that sorted. No matter how late we got back, they'd always have someone waiting for us in the main concierge area to make sure everything's ok and get our breakfast order. When Nimal learned we were traveling to Ella on the day of checkout, he informed the kitchen staff and prepare a snack (delicious AND amazingly packaged sandwiches and bananas) and water for our travel. We'd stay here again!

Hardly any mosquitoes or bugs, not even on the balcony. The pool and restaurant area was really nicely set up and the staff were wonderful. Rooms were spacious and clean and felt so homely with small touches.

    There is so much more to do in this area than I realised.

    There is so much more to do in this area than I realised. I will definitely come back. The area is beautiful and we were sad to leave. We dud Pidurangala Rock which was fun, more of an adventurous climb than Lions Rock. It has incredible views of Lions Rock. We also did a safari in Minneriya National Park. The park was beautiful and we saw so many elephants plus lots of varieties of birds, golden jackals, monkees, mongoose, the grizzled giant squirrel, buffalo and jungle foul. We also went to Dambula Temple Caves which is very spiritual and Luckgrove Spice Gardens which was an incredible experience. Highly recommend this area.

    We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.

    A beautiful place on earth that there are lots of 360 degree view points. But if it rains it will ruin your plans. So make sure you depend on weatherly and visit Matale when it shows many continuous sunny days. Even on cloudy forecasts do not visit as all mointain tops then will be covered and you will not see the sights. when it is humid leaches also will be active and will become a painful experience.

    A nice hike to view a breathe taking view. If anyone should travel to Sigiriya they should start to climb the rock at 5.30am as the ticket counters open. Wearing proper hiking or workout clothes would be the best.

    Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. We stayed there for 4 Nights and could cover the heritage sites easily. Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.

    Mainly there are 10-12 attractions in Matale. As I just stayed one day which was not sufficient to visit all the places. Among them where I went were also hampered due to the rain at time to time. Generally Matele was quit good tourist destination if it is planned well with couple of days.

    Sigiriya is stunning and has a lovely village charm to it, compared to the tourist/backpacker mecca that is Ella. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from but it somehow doesn't detract and Sigiriya still feels very local and true to SL values.

    Dambulla is truly the perfect gateway to explore Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle! Located at the heart of this historic region, it offers unbeatable access to some of the country’s most iconic sites.

With its central location, Dambulla is the ideal base for exploring these cultural wonders, while also providing a peaceful escape surrounded by nature. Whether you're into history, culture, or simply breathtaking landscapes, Dambulla is the best place to start your journey through Sri Lanka’s rich heritage.
