Amazing stay with my father for a couple of nights. Ashoka and his family were really kind and everything felt like home..really..every detail. From the room (big, clean and confortable) to the service (amazing homemade dinner and INCREDIBLE breakfast). Super quiet location in the nature with views to the Lion’s rock. Best place I stayed in Sri Lanka, by far! As I said…do not hesitate in booking it. Thanks for everything Ashoka and family! Marcos and Pedro.

    The cleanest room we had in all of Sri Lanka! Rooms are modern, spacious, comfortable and quiet (set back in the property away from the road). The location is a few minutes from the main town but close enough to Lion Rock and some very nice restaurants nearby. The hosts were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was one of the best we had in Sri Lanka...lots of food and a nice variety of fresh fruits and Sri Lankan dishes.

    Stunning views all around, friendly staff, great pool, Shana was a great host. The location was perfect for climbing Sigiriya, but was not so central that you you missed out on spending time in nature. It was great for a weekend away from Colombo seeking peace and quiet.

    Great value for money. It was the cheapest place we stayed in Sri Lanka by a long stretch and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised with what you get for paying so little. Place is charming and cosy and clean, beds are comfortable, food is good, hosts are wonderful. Location is perfect for exploring Sigiriya and around it.

    Really quaint guesthouse right in the nature within walking distance to both the rock that overlooked Sigiriya and also Lions rock. The host Wasanti was just wonderful, with such a warm and helpful demeanour. We ended up eating there both nights as her cooking was so good.
