Thank you to Roy, Sonny, Damis and all the staff at Roy's villa for making our first stop in Sri Lanka such a special one. My mum and I stayed for 3 nights. The place is beautiful - there's a lovely rooftop to sit out on and relax, there are yoga mats, there's a swing, a garden and a lovely communal area for breakfast and the family dinner. The rooms were spacious and the bed was comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed doing all of the activities with Roy and his staff - we did the safari, Pidurangala, lions red, dumbala cave. Everything was well organised and reasonable. The free Cookery class was a highlight. We learned a lot about Sri Lankan cuisine, and of course really enjoyed tasting all the delicious food! Thank you again!

What a wonderful place, but this is becouse the staff is lovely, the best Hostel I have ever satayed. They make your stay unique and that the place keep a special magic for all the travelers who pass by. They make you feel like at home every thing is easy with them. Thank you very much for everything and especially for the surprise you gave me for my birthday, being away from home I felt like I was there. Good Luck for all of you!!

The most AMAZING place to stay!! It was clean, comfortable and well designed. The staff went above and beyond to make it a fantastic experience - they have daily activities organised that you can join in with if you want including safari, sunrise hikes, cooking classes. Perfect for a solo traveller like me. They organise transport to take you to different locations if needed. The place is beautiful! Couldn’t recommend it enough. No where else I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka has come close to this place!!

Everything was fantastic and everybody should stay here! Great facilities, best food I’ve eaten so far and a brilliant atmosphere to meet great people (inc the staff) and experience great activities organised by the team here.

I am usually not a hostel kind of person but this one came highly recommended so thought I’d give it a go and I’m so glad I did! From arrival to departure the staff were amazing, giving me a free welcome drink and a free snack for my onward journey. The activities were so so good from sunset and sunrise walks to the elephant wildlife safari. The food was amazing and great portion sizes. The beds were comfortable. But what I loved the most was the upstairs lounge area, it had beautiful views and was the perfect spot to relax and read. I would absolutely stay here again.

Excellent full service hostel in a peaceful, rural area outside of Sigiriya town. The hostel is nicely designed and the staff are so helpful. They organize daily activities and can help with any transportation needs you have. The nightly dinner buffet is outstanding and well worth the money.
