Loved this this laid-back place, just outside Sigiriya. The family helped us arrange a tuktuk in the early hours for the hike up Pidurangala Rock and recommended visiting Sigiriya Rock for sunset, which was amazing. The cottage was comfortable, the pool fantastic on these hot, sultry December days, and the wildlife amazing: monkeys, peacocks, and nearby elephants which we glimpsed in the dark. Best of all was the delicious home-cooked Sri Lankan food, and the kind and friendly family. It is a little way out of the village but this is easily accessed by tuktuk. It is Aldo nice and quiet. Highly recommended.

It was in a convenient location, with a great view of the Lion's Rock. The accommodation was comfortable and clean, and the breakfast included was delicious. Most importantly, our host, Lala, was excellent — he gave good recommendations and helped us with our itinerary from booking a safari tour to arranging our transportation. Thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him too! Highly recommend Lion Wood Treehouse!

The place is really nice and the owner is very welcoming. He was available and gave great insight on what activities we should do. He spotted our traveler profile and advised us accordingly. At the hotel, you can grab some bikes and there is a cool trail around the nearby lake... The room was clean, bigger than expected, and comfortable. The food was good and they bake their berad onsite etc... You can't go wrong there.

One of the best accommodations experience within my travel. Hosts are exceptional, easy to work with to arrange transportation within Sigiriya, and the pick up from the train station. Breakfast is beyond amazing. The cottage is spacious and super clean. The territory is quiet and safe. I will definitely choose to stay here again if I am back in Sigiriya.

This place is just stunning. You’ll get more of what you see in the pictures. The level of service is outstanding. Consider that to reach the place you need to call them to send you a tuktuk because the roads are a bit bumpy and cars cannot reach easily. The food was amazing and generous. The bedroom tidy and with AC. The best part is they welcome you with cold towels and watermelon juice.

Chathuri and her husband are wonderful hosts. We stayed in the new cottage and were very impressed with it’s beautiful design in nature. We enjoyed the welcome drinks and delicious Sri Lankan breakfast. Chathuri offered to help with organising transport and safari for us. We had a great time with Gayan at Kandulla National Park where we saw loads of elephants, water buffalo, monkeys and many unique birds! They made us feel very welcome and we appreciated their kindness and hospitality.

We had a great time staying at sigiriya cottage. The manager and all the staff was super friendly and helpful with everything. Weather it was something with the room, booking a safari tour or showing us a nice bicycle route. The new pool is great. Thank you! Our safari was amazing - please let the guide know, how much we enjoyed the tour.

Spacious private cottages. Our own little villa with a bathtub - wow! Serene and tranquil environment. Lovely pool. The breakfast and dinner are definitely worth it. The rice and curry was one of the tastiest we had in Sri Lanka. Owned and managed by a very kind family. Great value-for-money. If we're near Sigiriya anytime in the future we'll definitely stay again. 10/10 would recommend. Thanks so much for everything!

The property is super beautiful in the middle of nature and the cottages are very new and clean. We were welcomed very friendly by the host family and enjoyed our stay with a delicious, homemade breakfast. We absolutely recommend the place also supermarkets, restaurants and the Pidurangala are close by walking or taking a tuk tuk!

We had a lovely stay at Lotus Eco Lodge. In a very tranquil area. The tree house was very special and the pool was great. Guna was a wonderful host and talented chef. He cooked us authentic fresh Sri Lankan curries and helped us arranging everything for our stay in Sigiriya.

I highly recommend staying at this charming remote house in Sri Lanka. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it offers a tranquil escape surrounded by stunning gardens. The host goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay, even saving the day by organizing scooter rentals for us. And let's not forget about the delicious food served, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our experience. It's the perfect retreat for anyone seeking relaxation and adventure in equal measure. Thank you so much!
