Accessible via private entrance, all units have air conditioning, soundproofing, desk and a private bathroom with a shower. All units come with a patio boasting an outdoor dining area. At the guest house, units come with bed linen and towels. We had a wonderful experience at Yashi’s place. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained, making it a perfect retreat after a long day. The owner’s hospitality was exceptional – they greeted us warmly with refreshing juice upon arrival, making us feel right at home. The breakfast in the morning was generous and delicious, offering a great start to our day. If you’re looking for a friendly atmosphere and comfortable accommodations, Yashi’s place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

À la carte and Full English/Irish breakfast options with pancakes, fruits and juice are available. The traditional restaurant at the guest house serves Asian cuisine, and is open for dinner and lunch. Incredible stay. Very clean and comfortable, with working AC and a ceiling fan. Both warm and cold water for the shower. Most notably, the hosts were fantastic! So welcoming and so helpful. When we arrived they drove us to a scooter rental so we could get our scooter. The one day we had to leave early to go to Sigiriya for the day and they packed us a breakfast to go. Dinner at their restaurant was affordable and delicious. On the morning we left, they drove us to the bus station and stayed with us to make sure we caught the right bus. If you’re staying in Dambulla you should definitely stay here. These may be the most helpful hosts I’ve ever had while travelling across Southeast Asia.

Hidden Lake Cottages Sigiriya is located in Sigiriya and features a private pool and lake views. Featuring babysitting service, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The guest house provides pool views, a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available. Super nice rooms, well decorated, very clean and calm. The private pool is a real plus. Perfect to chill and relax. Mahesh is the manager of the place and was offering to us free pick up from the center to the cottage which really helped us a lot. I really recommend this place. The only 2 things that do not match with the description of the hotel: no free pick up from dambulla and no bikes to lend in the place.

Offering a garden and garden view, Simoya Nature Park is set in Dambulla, 19 km from Sigiriya Rock and 22 km from Pidurangala Rock. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the guest house free of charge. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk and full-day security for guests. The property was beautiful and the room was spacious, modern and well designed. But the real highlight was the husband and wife team, Madhu and Sanjee. They went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable. I felt so well taken care of—like coming home to family.

Featuring a private bathroom with a bath and free toiletries, units at the guest house also offer free WiFi, while selected rooms are fitted with a balcony. At the guest house, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels. We requested to check in before almost 6 hours. Without being irritated Mahinda dada welcomed us at midnight (3:30am)!! He did not even charged extra money for early check–in. The breakfast & dinner we got at night was beyond expectation. Foods were delicious and representing the authentic Sri Lankan taste. The environment was lovely & the location was very close from Lion rock. We are greateful to Mahinda dada and his family for the amazing hospitality... ❤️

Located in Sigiriya and only 1.9 km from Sigiriya Rock, The Cattleya Guest House Sigiriya provides accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. This 2-star guest house offers a 24-hour front desk and full-day security. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Cattleya Guest House in Sri Lanka, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived, the host's warm and hospitable nature made us feel right at home. They went above and beyond to organize all our trips, ensuring our safety throughout our stay. One of the highlights of our stay was the incredible nature surrounding The Cattleya Guest House. The garden was a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts like us. We were treated to frequent visits from various animals and a wide array of beautiful birds, making our mornings truly magical. The garden itself was meticulously maintained, creating a serene and picturesque environment. What truly stood out was their dedication to providing fully vegan meals. Every dish they prepared was not only vegan but also incredibly delicious. We were spoiled with freshly prepared, homemade meals that showcased the richness of local cuisine. The use of coconut milk and oil instead of dairy added a unique twist to the flavors. The daily offerings of fresh fruits and fruit juice were a refreshing and healthy start to our days. Whether it was breakfast or dinner, the culinary delights never failed to impress us. The fact that they can cater to both vegetarians and vegans is a testament to their commitment to dietary preferences. I wholeheartedly recommend The Cattleya Guest House to anyone planning a trip to Sri Lanka, especially those with vegetarian or vegan dietary preferences. The combination of a friendly host, breathtaking nature, and delectable vegan cuisine make The Cattleya Guest House an ideal destination for a memorable and fulfilling stay.
