“Not usually a review scribe but sometimes you just feel compelled to. 5 stars does not do justice to Dinesh and family. Immaculately clean, helpful to a fault, nothing is too difficult to organize on your behalf and OMG the breakfast is more fit for a king than us minions. Look no further if you want a hassle free stay with some (no exaggeration) of the nicest people on this world of ours. ”
“Das Zimmer und das Badezimmer waren angenehm groß und sehr sauber – ein Pluspunkt für den Komfort. Der Gastgeber war aufmerksam, auch wenn die Kommunikation nicht immer ganz unkompliziert war. In der Umgebung gibt es mehrere Restaurants, sodass man gut essen gehen kann.”
“This property is in the middle of nowhere so there it comes the magic. I can’t complain about slow and poor wifi or power issues since this isn’t a hotel but a home stay.
The family hosting is among the best people you could ever meet, very attentive with guests and providing an excellent service and serving a tasty land grown food.
We really enjoyed our time there, certainly a place to disconnect in the middle of the island ”
“The host family is so helpful and kind. They gave great recommendations for things to do and eat as well as the occasional tuk tuk ride after dark. Highly recommend. ”
“Great place to stay. Large spacious room and comfy large bed. Sana and his family are very welcoming and helpful. Great breakfast plus we were treated to a Sri Lankan breakfast too. Sana took us on a morning excursion where we were treated to all the local wildlife, which was such an unexpected surprise. Would highly recommend stating here. Thankyou all.”
“Great location; nice facility; bad kitchen
The hotel is located right at the exit of the Lion Rock; super convenience.
Stoned building with teak furniture; entire environment is nicely set; with comfortable bed.
However, food at the restaurant is awful. There are nice restaurants just next door; no need to have your meals in the hotel.
Also, I sent the message to the hotel to be sure of the address twice but never got any reply.”
“Really nice bungalows with very strong AC. The garden has a really nice view of Sigiriya rock. Good breakfast included, they also offer a decent buffet dinner.
Sigiriya Rock is about a 15 minute walk, whereas the main village area is a bit further. After visiting Sigiriya in the morning, we decided at the very last minute to catch the train from Habarana station (30 min drive from Sigiriya) to Colombo. We were struggling to contact a tuk-tuk driver with so little notice, so one of the employees……
“Our stay at Sigiriya Rock Hide was amazing! Beautiful quiet location with a view of Sigiriya rock from the top level restaurant. The food was delicious and very generous, especially the breakfast. The rooms were comfortable with A/C and hot water (just took some time to warm up but was very nice). The pool was very nice amongst a lush garden and was very clean and the perfect temperature. The staff were so incredibly friendly and hospitable. One evening, it was one of their staff member’s……
“Staff was excellent. She made special vegetarian food for me. Lot of greenery.
Room is ok not that great. Too many insects because of bushes and trees all around the property. Gieco running on the floor of the room.
Had to go to the front desk every time for service. No phone/TV in the room. No light switch above the bed. Had to go to the front door to turn off lights and walk in the dark to the bed. Not convenient at all.”
“My friend and I spent a night here and we got to meet the owner, who lives in London. We were treated very well and the staff was very accommodating and took great care of us. The room was comfortable as well. It is located in a very remote area, but there are some restaurants within walking distance and it is very close to Sigiriya Rock. ”
