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. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The patties were some of the best I’ve ever had. They also served bananas grown on their own farm, called "Naga bananas." I was surprised by their rich, sticky texture. Whenever I asked for help with things I wanted to do or places I wanted to visit, they immediately made arrangements. They were incredibly reliable and helpful. Also, their child was so cute—it was very heartwarming.

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. Villa Hanguk is an ideal spot if you plan to explore the Dambulla area. The owner is incredibly helpful, offering assistance with scooter or tuk-tuk rentals and organizing local trips. The villa is nestled just 400 meters from the main city street, surrounded by lush paddy fields. The beautifully maintained garden is filled with vibrant plants and flowers, offering plenty of cozy spots to relax—whether in a hammock, at a dining area, or playing table games. Being in the middle of nature, you can expect the delightful sounds of wildlife, including peacocks. It truly adds to the charm of the place. One of the highlights of our stay was the Sri Lankan food. The meals were not only delicious but also generously portioned. I highly recommend skipping outside restaurants and instead asking the staff to prepare dinner for you—you won’t be disappointed!

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. 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!

We have stayed in a few BB's that's not the case everywhere. Our package included breakfast we came back to the room after sigiriya climb very late but still the host sanjiv and madhu were very kind enough to provide breakfast and allow us late checkout, It was very kind of them. We really enjoyed their company and the endless conversation during dinner. A super good place to stay.

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. Lovley place that I recommend to everyone visiting Sigiriya! The room was good size and clean. The terrace big and you could sit there and enjoy the beautiful garden and all the monkeys in the trees. Ashoka (the host and owner) did everything to make sure we had a great stay! He gave us good tips about the Lion Rock and helped us with transport to our next place. The food (that is homemade by his daughter!) was delicious! We ate dinner and breakfast at the terrace. We only stayed one night, but I wish we could have stayed many more.
