Boasting a garden, terrace and views of garden, Jungle Host Hostel And Tree House is set in Sigiriya, 5.1 km from Sigiriya Rock. The property is located 8.2 km from Pidurangala Rock, 3.1 km from Wildlife Range Office - Sigiriya and 4.3 km from Sigiriya Museum. The accommodation offers room service, a 24-hour front desk and organising tours for guests. We had a very good experience at this place! It is located in the jungle and sleeping in a treehouse is really special! You could hear all the wild animals during the night and the rain falling on the roof and the trees surrounding the tree house. The bathroom was very special, since it was located outside the room, shovering in the jungle was a nice experience. The sheets could have been a little bit cleaner, but overall it was very clean. And the absolutely best thing of this hotel is the crazy delicious food! A variety of home cooked dishes let's you find real joy! This is a family business and the people working there are very very friendly and helpful.🥰♥️

At the hostel, the rooms have a patio with a garden view. Every room includes a safety deposit box and certain rooms will provide you with pool views. The units at Funk Bunks - Sigiriya feature air conditioning and a desk. There was a pool in the bedroom of the king suite, which was amazing, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I also enjoyed the buffet breakfast and dinner that was included.

All guest rooms at the hostel are equipped with a seating area. With a shared bathroom equipped with a bidet and slippers, rooms at Sigiri Serenity Hostel also provide guests with a garden view. All units at the accommodation include air conditioning and a safety deposit box. Lovely stay. This is a newly opened hostel perfect for seeing Sigiriya! It’s only about a 10 minute tuk tuk ride to the rock and about 10-15 minutes walking to some restaurants and shops. This is the cleanest hostel I stayed at in Sri Lanka. You can smell the freshness in the bathrooms and the towels smell so clean. The rooms also have air conditioning. Above all, the family is so personable and kind. The breakfast is also affordable and was so tasty - the best breakfast I had in my one month visit in Sri Lanka. 100% recommend :)
