Sigiriya Forest Edge By Marino Leisure

This hotel is a fantastic value for money, especially given its proximity to Sigiriya Rock. It exceeded my expectations! The privacy was excellent, and the only sounds were the peaceful chirping of birds and insects. Breakfast was an English set menu, and dinner was also delicious. It's one of the few newer hotels in Sri Lanka, built within the last couple of years, so the facilities are modern and complete. I truly recommend it for anyone visiting Sigiriya.

Our overall experience in Sri Lanka this time was just so-so. I couldn't get used to the local food, unexpectedly fell ill, and even had two unfortunate incidents of theft, which put a real damper on my mood. However, this hotel was absolutely the only highlight of the entire trip, and I wholeheartedly recommend it! The hotel's location is indeed a bit remote, with a rather unremarkable surrounding environment and not the best access roads. But since we had a private car, this didn't bother us at all. It's a jungle hotel with an incredible ambiance, making you feel like you're living right in the forest. The rooms are designed like treehouses – not huge, but very unique and charming. We were even greeted with welcome juice upon check-in, a thoughtful touch. The absolute highlight has to be the hotel's food! Because of its remote location, we couldn't eat out, and I was initially worried. But the hotel's food completely blew us away – it was far better than any meals we had near tourist attractions along the way. The quality was excellent, the prices were affordable, and the value for money was outstanding! Breakfast was ordered from a set menu, while dinner offered à la carte options or set menus. We had two dinners and two breakfasts, and every meal was carefully prepared. The restaurant service was also exceptional. The hotel environment is incredibly quiet, and it gets wonderfully cool at night, so there was no need for air conditioning – that was a real comfort. During our two-day stay, our child only used the pool, which, although small, was perfectly adequate. We also saw small monkeys and squirrels, truly immersing us in the forest. Mosquitoes weren't much of an issue, and the room was generally very tidy. Both the facilities and service were impeccable; the staff were warm and attentive. The hotel has a small number of rooms and guests, mostly European and American tourists. We were the only Asian family, and the sense of privacy and tranquility was absolute. While the hotel itself doesn't boast grand vistas, the immersive forest experience, excellent food, and thoughtful service completely made up for the troubles of our journey. I highly recommend it to families looking for a quiet, comfortable place to relax and unwind in Sri Lanka, especially those traveling by private car. You must stay here for at least two days! I hope the hotel continues to maintain such high standards for its food and service.

This resort hotel is a bit away from the city center. We stayed in a villa-style room, which was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff were all very kind and friendly. There was a sign at the front desk stating that construction is scheduled to be completed in 2027, so it seems more facilities like a pool and restaurant are yet to be built. (Perhaps the vacant lot near the entrance to the property is where they plan to build them.)

This hotel exceeded my expectations; the price-performance ratio is amazing. Currently, the hotel only has 10 rooms, as the new area is still under construction and will be fully completed in 2027. The road to the hotel isn't easy to walk, but we even saw wild peacocks along the way. The hotel has a small garden with various fruits and vegetables, a small cabin, and a small jungle trail where you can shoot arrows. We casually strolled around and met some staff who gave us a tour, explaining the different fruits and vegetables – it was really interesting! They even offered to take us birdwatching the next morning, although there weren't many birds, haha, but the morning air was truly refreshing. At night, there were sounds from the rooftop, like some kind of animal running by, along with various bird calls – very natural. Breakfast is a set menu; we ordered the American and Continental options, and there wasn't much difference. The taste was just okay. Overall, a very satisfying stay, I would recommend it to friends, and if I have the chance to visit Sri Lanka again, I would definitely stay here.

Highly recommended! The rooms were fantastic, five-star standard, and the restaurant food was delicious.

This hotel was terrible. The rooms were damp and a bit old. Not only that, but every night the shower water would turn cold halfway through. I contacted the hotel twice to have it fixed, and they said it was fixed, but the problem persisted. I strongly advise against staying there. It was awful.

The hotel service was excellent. The room was large, the bed was nice, and there was a mosquito net. The staff even caught geckos for us, which was very professional. We were also willing to change rooms. The hotel breakfast was delicious and hygienic.

The room was clean and spacious. The treehouse was unique, and the children loved it. Surrounded by trees, it felt very close to nature, and there weren't many mosquitoes. The breakfast was delicious, and à la carte was available.
