Certain units in the guest house have private entrance and are equipped with desk and dressing room. Some units include a seating area and/or a patio with an outdoor dining area. At the guest house, some units are fitted with a kettle and fruits. We liked everything - the room, the food, the location … Breakfast is really good (and very much) and the owner also cooked dinner for us once which was also delicious. Another day they took us to Sigiriya to go to a restaurant and also picked us up again afterwards. Really nice!

Offering a garden and garden view, Nature Night Homestay is situated in Sigiriya, 6.5 km from Pidurangala Rock and 1.2 km from Wildlife Range Office - Sigiriya. It is set 3.3 km from Sigiriya Rock and features a 24-hour front desk. The guest house offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Definitely one of my favorite stays i had while travelling through SriLanka. Bathroom was above the standard that we were used to within SriLanka, AC worked perfectly and the bed was very comfortable too. But what has made this Acoomodation so perfect was definitely the host family! They were so kind and prepared a very authentic and yummy breakfast for us. We also decided to have dinner (which you pay additionally but best price-performance ratio you could ask for), where they prepared 6 different dishes for us and we regretted that we didn't spent another night to taste that food again.

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. Room is big, clean and comfortable. Really good bed. Garden where you can see alle kinds of animals is amazing (even elephants come to the garden at some nights and it's not allowed to go to the garden at night. One elephant came when we were there!). Home made sri lankan breakfast is tasty and plentiful. Host family is super nice and warm. We liked the location just few minutes walk away from the main area of Sigiriya village. There is also few restaurants (S.L. Cafe has really good food) / cafes / bars right next to the accommodation, so it's really convinient and you dont' even need to walk to the main areas of the village in the evening, If you don't feel like.
