Lankapura is a real treasure. The location is unbeatable in Sigiriya, with the swimming pool and the rooms facing the Lion Rock and lush paddy fields in between. We loved the Sri Lanka breakfast and just sitting in the dining area, facing the rock, having breakfast immersed in nature is the perfect way of starting the day. The staff is very attentive, kind and professional. We would have stayed one more night, but unfortunately all the rooms were already booked. Definitely recommend.

La Cloudz Sigiriya is an absolutely amazing place, surrounded by beautiful nature! The room was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. The bathroom was stunning, and we absolutely loved the outdoor garden and pool area — such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant and breakfast were far beyond our expectations: everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. But what truly made our stay special was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, kind, and always ready to help, finding a solution for anything we needed during our stay. Their hospitality really made us feel at home. I honestly couldn’t recommend this place more! If you’re visiting Sigiriya, this is definitely the place to stay. We absolutely loved every moment and would come back without hesitation!

Our stay at Liya Water Villas was nothing short of exceptional, and the biggest reason for that was the incredible staff who made every moment unforgettable. We’ve travelled to many places, but we have never experienced warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality quite like this. From the moment we arrived, Uncle Vijay, the security guard, welcomed us with the biggest smile and such comforting energy. His friendliness immediately made us feel safe, relaxed, and at home. A huge thank you to Niroshan, who truly went above and beyond for us. He helped us plan our days, suggested things to do, arranged everything we needed, and was always checking in to make sure we were having the best possible stay. His dedication and patience made our trip effortless. But it wasn’t just them — every single staff member we met was phenomenal. The housekeeping team, the restaurant staff, the front office, and everyone behind the scenes — every one of them greeted us with a smile, asked how our day was going, and made us feel like valued guests. Their warmth was so genuine, and it was clear they take real pride in their work. The villa itself was stunning — beautifully designed, spotless, and peaceful — but it was the people who made the experience truly special. Their professionalism, kindness, and positive energy turned a beautiful holiday into an unforgettable one. Liya Water Villas is more than just a place to stay; it’s a place where you’re cared for. We left with full hearts, and we’re already planning to return. Highly recommend this wonderful property and its amazing team.

Overall, very good place for relaxation and ayurvedic rejuvenation amidst salubrious and pristine environment. The room was enormous with a plunge pool and luxurious four poster bed which gave us utmost comfort and deep sleep. Beautiful spacious bathroom, plenty of storage with traditional furnishings. Lush greenery and the song of the peacocks and other birds, dancing monkeys offer lots of free entertainment. Staff were so professional and kind in fulfilling our requests including our three day extension of stay due to cyclone ditwa and road closure. Our package included wonderful elaborate breakfast and quality Ayurveda treatments by attentive therapists. Had some initial hiccups where hot water wasn't working in the bathroom which they fixed attentively. Due to being home for wild elephants, safety restrictions beyond specific time in the evening apply but the staff guide appropriately. Special thanks/Stuti to Chandana, Laksha, Ranga, therapists, restaurant and housing keeping staff for looking after us so well during our stay. Would highly recommend for guests of all ages to experience Ayugiri hospitality.

We stayed in a two-bedroom villa which was absolutely stunning — spacious, private and beautifully designed, with views that made it hard to leave. The setting itself is incredible, with the water and landscape creating a calm, almost dreamlike atmosphere. Breakfasts and dinners were excellent throughout our stay, and a special mention must go to Madushan, who looked after us at every meal. His attention to detail and genuine warmth really stood out. Our butler, Dilmith, was equally fantastic — he quietly organised everything for us, including our spa sessions which were superb. Nothing was ever too much trouble. All in all, it was one of those rare places that manages to combine luxury with real heart. We left feeling properly rested and already talking about when we might come back.

Everything was perfect. We booked last minute and they were super kind and responsive, making everything easy for us. The welcome was warm and genuine, and the food really stood out: delicious dishes with generous portions, clearly prepared with love and attention by the passionate chef. We had made a special breakfast request and they happily made sure it was ready for us, which we really appreciated. The room was spacious and comfortable, and although we didn’t have time to try them, the treatments and massages looked really inviting. Before we left, they even prepared some snacks for our trip, a thoughtful gesture that made us feel truly cared for. Highly recommended!

Such an exemplary hotel, from the main road if you blinked you'd miss it. The gardens surrounding the hotel are beautifully curated and absolutely full of wildlife, within minutes of checking in we saw all manner of tropical birds, frogs, squirrels lizards and even some small snakes in the ponds lining the central garden path. As a wild life lover this was particularly exciting. The swimming pool was great and had nice views of the jungle in the distance, the room was spacious, comfortable and well lit. Staff were so friendly too, wished I could have stayed longer.

Fantastic stay, we decided to add an additional night we enjoyed ourselves so much. The hotel manager/owner? Nimal was superb, he made us feel welcome and was available 24/7. We had some issues with a scooter we rented and he came with his team to where we were stranded to resolve. The whole team went above and beyond for us. Out of all rge locations we stayed in Sri Lanka, the food here topped the list. Absolutely delicious and fresh from their garden, be sure to ask for a tour! A great place to end the trip

Sigiriya is an amazing place to visit! We enjoyed an unforgettable safari, saw beautiful wildlife, and experienced the peaceful nature of Sri Lanka. The delicious local food and stunning scenery made our trip even more special. Visiting the famous Sigiriya Rock and exploring the surrounding area was a wonderful experience. We loved every moment of our journey and would highly recommend Sigiriya to anyone visiting Sri Lanka!

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.
