The first hotel during our trip to Sri Lanka where I could get really hot water in the shower 😃 , the terrace had an amazing view to Sigiriya Rock (not mentioning the view front the pool!)

I absolutely loved this place and I highly recommend it! The rooms are spacious and clean with a comfortable bed, and the bathroom has some real hot shower. The swimming pool is very nice to enjoy after a hike. The place is surrounded by nature and quiet, and at a walking distance from the best restaurant (Kenoli) and from the best spa (Serendip), and also at 20 min walk from the entrance of the fortress of Sigirya. You can get free bottled water anytime. The place is safe as there is always someone at the entrance. The owners are also very kind, this place is full of good energies and very peaceful. Thank you for everything 😊😊😊

Amazing hotel with more than 400 mango trees and a wonderful staff! Probably, being a fully female-led hotel makes the difference not only in envisioning a new way of doing business, but also in guaranteeing a high standard level of service!

Loved the place! I wanted a treehouse experience in Sigiriya, and this spot was absolutely perfect! The little house feels brand new and is incredibly comfortable. They’ve thought of everything, even small details like conveniently turning the porch lights on and off from upstairs and plenty of plugs to charge everything. The house is in a large, beautiful garden, with only one tree house there at the moment, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere. I even saw peacocks in the garden—they climbed the trees and watched me! The WiFi was surprisingly good (I didn’t expect to have it), and the family hosting the place was wonderful, going above and beyond to ensure I had a pleasant stay. I stayed for four nights, and it was, without a doubt, the best place I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka.

Great and very friendly staff in all departments of the hotel. The hotel’s very own naturalists are brilliant and are assisting with everything you need for a successful trip or excursion - water, juices, soft drinks and cool refreshing towels are always part of the service. We enjoyed the big pool for all hotel guests as well as our private pool next to the room which helped us to feel really relaxed. The hotel is a true sanctuary and we enjoyed the nature and natural sounds every second of our stay. A minimum 3 nights stay is highly recommended to have enough time to discover the historic places and the nature in this part of Sri Lanka as well as to relax on property (we stayed 4 nights).

I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel Sigiriya. The view from the property is stunning—especially the pool view with the Sigiriya Rock in the backdrop! The room was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. What makes this place magical is its jungle setting—you can hear the sounds of nature all around, making it incredibly peaceful and calming. It was my birthday, and the hotel surprised me with a beautiful birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The staff were so warm and accommodating throughout our stay. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel, and both meals were absolutely gorgeous. I’d definitely stay here again.

My stay at this luxury Ayurveda Resort in Sigirya, Sri Lanka brought back the deeper connection with nature itself. The Ayurveda treatments at the Resort was exceptional and the Doctor was able to identify my doshas and work on a detox programme for me and all the meals were customized. The team at Ayugiri was excellent and friendly and supportive during my wellness holiday in Sri Lanka. The best part of my stay was seeing the wild elephants roaming about freely.

Lions rock is great, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We stayed for two nights in the end as we got to sigiriya late. This meant we ate dinner one night at the little hut which wass great, climbed the rock, then moved on to the habarana which was also interesting to wander and eat.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay at Hotel Golden Ray! My experience at Hotel Golden Ray was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing a perfect space to relax after exploring Dambulla. The hotel’s atmosphere is peaceful and charming, with a great balance between modern comfort and natural surroundings. The food was delicious and freshly prepared, and I truly appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of the service. I highly recommend Hotel Golden Ray to anyone visiting Dambulla — it’s a perfect place for both leisure and business stays. I’ll definitely return on my next visit! 🌿✨

A beautiful place on earth that there are lots of 360 degree view points. But if it rains it will ruin your plans. So make sure you depend on weatherly and visit Matale when it shows many continuous sunny days. Even on cloudy forecasts do not visit as all mointain tops then will be covered and you will not see the sights. when it is humid leaches also will be active and will become a painful experience.

We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.

I’ll never forget the day we spent climbing Sigiriya.

I’ll never forget the day we spent climbing Sigiriya. And no wonder such a wonderful World Heritage Site kept popping up everywhere: Test it against the massive old fortress, the gorgeous frescoes, and images taken of landscapes from the summit, and there you’ll pick one of Sri Lanka’s greatest treasures. Not an easy or casual climb but certainly one that throws panoramic views so very far worth it and lucid into history at every step. Water gardens at the bottom quite worth a visit. One has to get there at dawn to avoid numerous tourists and scorching sun. Thus, in general, Sigiriya is a combination of artistic creation, engineering work of antiquity, and a miracle of nature, and a must-see site in Sri Lanka.

Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy,...

Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. We stayed there for 4 Nights and could cover the heritage sites easily. Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.
