Alan Iraq

Lovely homestay and amazing location. There’s the main house with 2 rooms and a detached building with 2 rooms. My parents stayed in the main house and I stayed in the detached room, both were lovely. You feel like you’re on the edge of the jungle in the lovely garden. Lots of birds, squirrels and monkeys. Lovely outdoor patio to relax and eat. We had a nice typical Sri Lankan breakfast (fruit, coconut roti, toast, hopper, eggs, coconut pancake, juice and tea). Father and son, Saman and Praneet looked after us and assisted with everything. Had a lovely dinner cooked by Saman’s wife. It’s an easy walk or tuk tuk ride to Sigiriya rock and a few shops and restraints on the main road. Sri Lanka is experiencing power cuts during the day and evening. The main house has a generator during the evening cut.

The owners were friendly and welcoming, and we appreciated the quiet jungle location within walking distance of Sigiriya. The breakfast was tasty.

Saman Homestay is a great option in Sigiriya. easy to walk to restaurants but nice and secluded with beautiful gardens. Saman and his son Praneeth are very welcoming and they arranged a couple of excursions while we were there. I strongly recommend staying there!

Quiet place but very close to main touristic attractions and restaurants. Very helpful host who help you to organize your stay. Great dinner and breakfast.

Vverdonck Belgium

Our room was well-equiped with a mini-fridge, drinking water, hairdryer, hot water kettle, mosquito nets, mosquito repellent, fan, and air conditioning. Dinner, at a modest price, was absolutely delicious and substantial. Breakfast was filling. The property grounds are nice, with lots of plants. It's a tranquil place for visiting Sigiriya and Pidurangala.

Mchbort United States of America

This place was a highlight during all our time in Sri Lanka. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the shops/restarants in Sigiriya town and to Lion Rock itself. The owner, Saman, and his wife were extremely hospitable and provided great information during our stay. The best Sri Lankan breakfast offered! The accommodation itself was a free-standing building to the main house, which gave privacy and was surrounded in beautiful gardens. The room and bathroom were very clean, great amenities provided in the room (fridge, ceiling fan, air con, dressing table, complimentary water) and affordable laundry available on-site.
