the minimal design and cleanliness of the room was amazing. The welcome from the team at the reception with a smile and their kindness in addressing my gluten free concern for breakfast was super... and the breakfast itself (gluten free for me and with gluten for my husband) was better than any other I had in Sri Lanka! the garden as well is a jewel in itself, and it's surrounding the swimming pool that was super nice, shame that we had no time to enjoy it more!!!

The property is really beautiful and serene. Our accommodation was super comfortable, clean, with an amazing outside bathroom.

There is also a lovely pool and gardens, for afternoon relaxing. We enjoyed two nights here at La Cloudz and I can highly recommend as an excellent place to stay in Sigiryia.

I loved everything at this place : - The room is spacious, bright and comfortable (Hot water and AC) - The view on the lake is amazing and is a paradise for bird lovers. King fishers, cormoran, aigrette and plenty of tropical birds are hanging around the place. It's also a great spot to watch the sunset. - The host are lovely and make the best for you to have an unforgettable experience. Pashka is a great cooker and Susantha a commited driver and guide. I highly recommend this place.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel, nestled in the breathtaking outback of Sri Lanka, close to Dambulla. It exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene, eco-friendly surroundings 🌿. The hotel’s commitment to sustainability is truly admirable, with lush gardens where they grow their own plants and vegetables, creating a beautiful and natural atmosphere 🌱. Our room was super scenic, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape, making every morning and evening a delight 🌄. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The ambiance throughout the hotel was incredibly peaceful, making it easy to leave the stresses of everyday life behind 😌. The food was another highlight of our stay. The dishes were not only delicious but also fresh and full of flavor, undoubtedly thanks to the hotel’s own garden 🥗. Dining here was a true pleasure, with every meal showcasing the care and quality put into the ingredients. One of the most magical experiences we had was seeing fireflies at night, a sight that added an extra touch of enchantment to our stay ✨. The staff at the hotel were equally impressive. They were friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile 😊. Their dedication to making our stay enjoyable was evident in everything they did. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful, eco-friendly getaway with top-notch service, fantastic food, and stunning natural beauty 🌟. We can’t wait to return!

Wild Grass is a must-visit! This is one of the few resorts I’ve been to where you get an up close and personal interaction with nature. My villa overlooked beautiful forest land all around me, and the pathways leading up to the villa and reception were so immersive. Most of all, they built a lot of anticipation about what the villa would like the first time I walked up because they are so well hidden from pathways and the other villas. The staff were so helpful in attending to all my needs, and service was constantly with a smile. The manager checked in with me before my stay to see if I had any special requests, which I’ve rarely experienced elsewhere. The food is incredible! I was worried about the spice levels in the food because I don’t handle it so well, but they made sure to tame it down for me, and it was great! It was wonderful to see how happy they were for me to try local cuisine, and with the taste, there’s no reason not to. The villa itself was bigger than any hotel I’ve ever been to. I enjoyed lovely Sri Lankan tea in my private living room and got to experience nature from my villa. We went on a guided rock tour, which was great to soak in the views of the property and the surroundings. We even saw Sigiriya Lion Rock from up there. All in all, I would highly recommend staying here. The villas are tastefully designed and spacious, the food is just mouthwatering, and the staff are amicable and attentive. You can’t ask for more.

Our private villa was absolutely amazing! They also upgraded us to one with a pool and put out some decorations on behalf of it being our honeymoon! We had a contact/butler we could request things via WhatsApp and he was very accommodating and friendly. On that note, all the staff were brilliant, housekeeping called in the evenings also to check if we needed anything - water, towels, etc. and provided turndown service. The grounds of the hotel are amazing, with trails all the way around the property that can be walked, jogged or cycled (there are complimentary bikes!). There was also fantastic wildlife to be seen on the grounds! Monkeys, crocodiles, snakes, lizards, peacocks, etc.! There is a nice bar with a pool table and the cocktails, etc. are nice. The food was amazing. We also used the spa for a couples Balinese massage - it was amazing and very professional from offering drinks at welcome and at the end, etc. Just an amazing stay, pricey but well worth it.

Great place to stay for visiting Sigiriya Rock and the surrounding area. The facilities were very nice and the staff was very attentive (if at times overly so). It was nice to relax at the pool after exploring the rock area in the morning. My friends and I also enjoyed the spa, which was needed after hiking during our time in Sri Lanka. There were a lot of breakfast choices and I appreciated that it varied a bit the two mornings my friends and I were there.

Loved the Dambulla Cave Temple, quite amazing considering the level of technology they had to carve the statues out of the rock face. We found a lovely little family shack offering rice, curry and roti called Baappi's Tasty Roti, all of which was cooked fresh in front of us. Also had a great wander round the largest fruit and vegetable market which was heaving! But there are quite a few other local sites which we didn't have time to see.

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting the magnificent Sigiriya with my family, and it was truly a remarkable experience. The breathtaking scenery, fascinating history, and incredible beauty of this world-famous heritage site made our visit unforgettable. Sigiriya is much more than a historical monument; it is a masterpiece of ancient Sri Lankan engineering, architecture, and creativity. The majestic Lion Rock, surrounded by lush greenery and stunning landscapes, creates a truly magical atmosphere. Spending quality time with my family in such a beautiful and historically significant place made the experience even more special. Sigiriya is undoubtedly one of Sri Lanka’s greatest treasures and a must-visit destination for anyone who appreciates nature, history, culture, and beauty. A truly memorable family outing and an experience we will cherish for years to come. Highly recommended to both local and international visitors! 🇱🇰❤️

It's a beautiful place; the cave temples were nice, though it's a bit exhausting to go to the temple. I would definitely recommend a food joint called Baappa’s Tasty Roti (බාප්පාගෙ රොටී කඩේ). It's literally the best hospitality and service I have ever had. The address of Baappa’s Tasty Roti: New Padeniya Rd, Dambulla 21100, Sri Lanka It would be great for you to hire a local tour guide to take you on village tours. You can reach out to me through my site to help you curate an amazing tour with a tour guide. www.abodid.com

A beautiful place on earth that there are lots of 360 degree view points. But if it rains it will ruin your plans. So make sure you depend on weatherly and visit Matale when it shows many continuous sunny days. Even on cloudy forecasts do not visit as all mointain tops then will be covered and you will not see the sights. when it is humid leaches also will be active and will become a painful experience.

Sigiriya is a beautiful place that I would highly recommend...

Sigiriya is a beautiful place that I would highly recommend to both local and international tourists. One of the highlights for us was watching the sunset from Pidurangala Rock – the view is absolutely amazing. I would also recommend reading about the history and stories behind Sigiriya Rock and Pidurangala before visiting. It makes the experience even more interesting and helps you appreciate both the scenery and the history of Sri Lanka. We personally didn’t have any problems with elephants, but we heard several stories from local villagers about encounters and attacks in the area. So it is always good to be aware of your surroundings, especially when travelling in the evening or at night. Overall, Sigiriya is definitely worth visiting – beautiful nature, incredible views and fascinating history.

Dambulla is a great city with significant historical value...

Dambulla is a great city with significant historical value in Sri Lanka, especially known for the Dambulla Cave Temple and the Pidurangala Rock hike. To avoid the high heat in the afternoon, I recommend visiting Pidurangala early in the morning or in the evening. An early morning hike offers an amazing and beautiful sunrise view. You can visit the Rangiri Dambulla Cave Temple at any time, but climbing the rock steps can be difficult in the afternoon due to the heat.

Mainly there are 10-12 attractions in Matale. As I just stayed one day which was not sufficient to visit all the places. Among them where I went were also hampered due to the rain at time to time. Generally Matele was quit good tourist destination if it is planned well with couple of days.
