I stayed at Saman's homestay for 5 days. I can only thank Saman and his family for all their availability. They supported me in everything I needed, and with all the doubts I had. They booked me the ecopark, dambulla, pollonaruwa, pidurangula, Lion rock, bus to Kandy, cooking class, ayurveda SPA, everything, with the best prices! The garden is super relaxing to rest, read a book, have breakfast. The room with private bathroom has everything you need and is very clean. I had dinner one night and it was delicious. They also washed some clothes. Without a doubt, staying at this homestay made my trip wonderful and special. Once again, thank you! Samam, I'm waiting for the photo when you eat the mango!!!

The nicest hosts during our two weeks in Sri Lanka. This is a nice, clean and well equipped accommodation (AC, hair dryer, drinking water, soap, etc.) in the middle of the jungle. The family is very kind and helpful. They made us a delicious dinner and Sri Lankan breakfast. For the dinner we could choose from a menu and everything was home cooked. They also waited us with a welcome drink (smoothie). They have an outdoor kitchen in their courtyard and spice garden, where cooking classes are held. Highly recommend this place for a few nights!

Great hospitality ,so reasonable and valuable experiences. I swam in near lake with host family.Locals wash their bodies and clothes there. so I also washed my body. Host took me the Rock to watch sunrise, it was so beautiful view ,on the way home fortunately I saw wild crocodile. After that I rode an elephant (5000LKR required). They served so delicious and local breakfast. He was the best host ever. If you stay here,your satisfaction with staying in Sigiriya will be greatly improved.

I really loved staying at Pidurangala View Home Stay ♥️ the hosts are amazing, super kind and attentive and will help you to organize your schedule so you can make the most of tour time. Also, the location is incredible, it is a 10 min walk to the entrance to the Lion Rock and a 5min walk to the entrance of Pidurangala. Those walks are so scenic, you can spot monkeys, butterflies, peacocks, it is perfect. The food is so delicious, I totally recommend that you have dinner at this homestay, it is SO delicious 🙏🏻 Loved the hosts ♥️

The location was fantastic to see both rocks, our lovely host even organised a 5am tuk tuk for us to view Pidarangula Rock for sunrise. The homestay is also walkable distance to a lovely restaurant called Nirwana. Breakfast was delicious and the view from the terrace of Lions Rock is unmatched. You are really in the middle of the jungle here!

we really enjoyed the location of the homestay as it is located a bit outside of the main road/tourist area. Free drinking water is available and if you pre-order it, you can also eat lunch and dinner there. Jayanti's lovely dog Lora was very friendly towards us and Jayanti hereself is a great host (we didn't have the chance to book it but she also offers cooking classes)
