Hotel Sigiriya ★★★★
"We chose Hotel Sigiriya due to its proximity to The Lion Rock entrance. Distance from hotel is roughly 8 mins. Please note, it’s advisable to not WALK! Remember to order a tuk-tuk in advance if you plan to climb Sigiriya and watch the sunrise. We left at 5am and paid a return ride of LKR1,500 for two person. Our tuk-tuk driver Chaminda +94 ********* took good care of us -two 50yrs old ladies who successfully climbed the summit. Typical of Ceylonese people the hotel staffs were warm and friendly. Shout out to Tharaka (Reception Manager) who always greeted us with a smile and Shehan Restaurant Manager for entertaining us during our 3 day stay. Our room was a bit dated but clean and comfortable. Good hot shower and acceptable water pleasure. Nice to return to a room that’s been nicely made after 2 hard days of stairs climbing - the Pidurangala (first day) and Sigiriya (second day). Our travel dates were May 31 - Jun 3. Good variety for breakfast buffer - Sri Lankan and Western. The same applies to dinner buffer too. Overall, nice hotel and yes will stay again."
Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve ★★★★★
"Stayed here for three nights on a trip around Sri Lanka. Very interesting place, impeccable service. Lakshan looked after us and was excellent - very helpful and tended to magically pop up every time we needed something."
Clodagh Manor House by Seven Angels ★★★
"A spectacular place! Stunning views and an infinity pool, a very welcoming team and serving excellent food. Everything perfect."
Jetwing Lake ★★★★★
"This was the most satisfying hotel of my entire Sri Lanka trip. Although the price was relatively high, the service and sense of occasion were excellent from the moment I checked in. The hotel environment was fantastic, with plenty of wildlife. The room layout and amenities were also very well-designed, offering a touch of rustic luxury. The location is close to Dambulla Cave Temple and about a 20-minute drive from Sigiriya Rock."
Aliya Resort and Spa - Thema Collection ★★★★★
"The room was a bit unsatisfactory, the air conditioner was a bit noisy, and there were traces of water soaking from the air conditioner on the wall. But the hotel environment is good, the greenery is great, the swimming pool is large, and there are many animals in the hotel. I took my child to play in the hotel all morning, and she was very happy to see the animals."
Kalundewa Retreat ★★★★★
"It was a perfect stay in nature... really relaxing and watching birds in their natural habitat...so many activities to do with kids nature walk and paddle boat was extra ordinary..our kid really enjoyed it...our stay at lower bakmi with plunge pool was completely heaven lost in nature.its calm and quiet "
Amaya Lake Dambulla ★★★★★
"Perfect food, felt like being deep in the jungle."
Lario Resort Sigiriya ★★★
"The hotel is very well located, close to Lion Rock (Sigiriya). The room was very spacious and clean, with comfortable bedding and a pleasant shower. There's a lovely little pool with sun loungers. A buffet dinner is offered. Don't hesitate to ask for a freshly made cheese omelet at breakfast."
Amba Yaalu - Thema Collection "The First Women-LED Hotel in Sri Lanka" ★★★★★
"This is a very nice hotel that is light and airy, and gives you a sense of being in the country. The staff are wonderful and make the experience what it is. Breakfast and dinner are very good, although it would be great to see more variation. Dambulla town has quite limited food options, so hotels like this are often the only choice for guests. The location is good - near to Dambulla, Sigiriya and only 1.5 hours from Anuradhapura. It would be nice to go for walks near to the hotel including to the lake. It is possible but there are guard dogs for the homes on the path to the hotel which makes for a less than relaxing walk. Overall, an excellent hotel"

Heritance Kandalama
"Excellent and perfect!"
Sigiriana Resort by Thilanka
"Loved this hotel, fabulous large room and ensuite, with separate walk in shower and bath. Good AC and working fridge, comfy bed. Fab scenery from balcony, looking out on paddy fields, snd amazing sounds from wildlife at night. Safe should be secured to some surface though, so it can't be lifted. Food was good standard, very similar to other hotels we visited. Pool area was super, nice amount of beds and tables and chairs, plenty of towels available. Bar was nice, good singer one night who took our requests and got us all up dancing. Bar staff were excellent, much quicker than in other places, and more than willing to learn how to make a Baby Guinness!"
Amaara Forest Hotel Sigiriya
"Beautiful entrance and outdoor reception. Friendly and attentive staff. Clean and spacious room. Working safe and large bathroom, ac working effectively. Restaurant good and bar area good. Some staff with little English but others help when necessary. The pool is a basic rectangle but clean and an infinity pool looking at the forest. Towels available and subbed, never busy when we used it. Swing too and treetop restaurant available on request. We saw wildlife around but not scarily; a water monitor lizard on the grass by pool and monkey by reception 🫶🏼. There were other facilities that we didn’t make use of and the only suggestion is more information on what is available. A great location to stay if you plan on seeing Sigiriya’s Lion Rock, Minneriya Elephant Safaris, Habarana cultural centre or a Village Tour."
Water Garden Sigiriya - 30 Chic Designed Private Villas Overlooking Sigiriya
"We started our Epic Sri Lanka Tour with 4 days in Sigiriya, staying at the Water Garden. It was absolutely beautiful! The rooms, grounds, buildings, birds, pool....the whole aesthetic was a feast for the senses! All of this luxury was topped off by the most kind and attentive staff. I wish I could remember everyone's name to give them all a shout-out, but the list would be too long! Thank you, Water Garden, for such a warm welcome into your country!"
Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort Sigiriya
"My partner and I recently spent a few days at Ayugiri Wellness Resort, and it was exactly what we needed. From the moment we arrived, everything felt calm, peaceful, and welcoming. The surroundings are beautiful, with plenty of nature and a relaxing atmosphere that helps you slow down and switch off from everyday life. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with a smile, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We especially loved the wellness experience, the healthy and delicious food, and the peaceful environment. It was the perfect place for us to spend quality time together, relax, and recharge. What stood out most was how genuine and caring everyone was. Nothing felt rushed, and the whole experience felt very personal and thoughtful. If you’re looking for a peaceful couples’ getaway or a wellness retreat in Sri Lanka, I would definitely recommend Ayugiri Wellness Resort. We left feeling refreshed, happy, and already talking about coming back someday. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable!"
Sigiriya King's Resort
"A most amazing place to spend a few days exploring Sigiriya. The location is set on a beautiful lake with views of the two rocks which you can climb during your stay. The rooms are huge and very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and can’t do enough for you. The food was amazing too. Would definitely return to this hotel if we came back to visit Sri Lanka again."
Nelinsa Wellness Resort & Spa
"Staying at Nelinsa Resort, Kandenuwara, Matale was an absolute delight! The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. And the picturesque view added an extra layer of magic to our experience..."
Nivadoo Resort Sigiriya
"I didn't expect the stay experience to exceed my expectations. It's not big and quite petty. It's very close to Lion Rock and very convenient. The waiter is also very nice."
Fresco Water Villa by Oak Ray
"Everything was Amazing! A special thank you to Samalka for his exceptional service and kindness and for taking care of my booking during my stay 🙏🏻"
Sigiri Hibiscus Villa
"Is a family .. nice owner, wife and daughter. As with most places throughout Sri Lanka .. wifi is a pain in the A !"
Covanro Sigiriya - Where Heritage Meets Luxury
"I had a wonderful stay at Covanro Sigiriya and was very impressed with the overall experience. The location is excellent, with a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and exceptionally clean, while the entire property was very well maintained. The quiet surroundings made the stay even more enjoyable. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful, providing excellent service throughout. The hotel also offers good amenities and facilities, and the variety of food was another highlight, with plenty of choices to suit different preferences. Considering the quality of the rooms, cleanliness, service, food, and facilities. Covanro Sigiriya is a wonderful place to stay, and I would definitely recommend it to others."
The Paradise Dambulla
"This hotel is just beautiful. Paradise in the trees. A great clean pool. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and couldn’t do enough to help. Food changed daily and plenty to pick from. Rooms clean, comfy and air conditioning brilliant. Will miss it. Absolutely would love to return and recommend 100%."
Arika Villa
"We booked this hotel having read the reviews and website. Before I continue I want to say that we are frequent travellers and mainly stay where possible in 4/5* hotels. Unfortunately apart from the service from the Manager, Nishandra for the first 2 out of 4 days of our stay, and that of a young 18 yr old waiter, Rasanjana, they were 5*. The manager had to leave and left the chef in charge. This is when the staff, apart from Rasanjana seemed to not pay any attention to us. We were the only guests at this time. There is no phone in the room so you have to go hunting to find anyone to assist. The front reception is not always manned, on one occasion when we asked where the girl was we were told she's sleeping and the chef come assistant manager was also not available. The rooms are big and spacious and they will cook different things for you but that's the only positive. Our tap in the bathroom was falling away from the sink. The attention to detail was also not there. The state of the whole hotel is in need of a desperate uplift as it was dirty. The photos and description are misleading. I am sure if the manager had not had to leave for a few days, all the staff would have been 5* in his presence. This review is harsh but honest. It is only for those frequent travellers who are used to a 4/5* service."
Arangala Forest Lodge
"This was a breath of fresh air for us, after a hectic few days of traveling. It was wonderful to just come and soak up the peace and enjoy nature all around us. The lodge we stayed in was very comfortable, the food was exceptional and the staff were extremely attentive. Talk about dinner with a view…..amazing! A bonus was having a monkey come and sit with us on our balcony. The lovebirds were also a great experience. We highly recommend a visit!"
Oak Ray Elephant Lake
"I’m here just now. the grounds are beautiful but we have found it to be a less welcoming place. very strange atmosphere, can’t quite put my finger on it. we were sitting drinking our drinks after the buffet when the bill came and we hadn’t asked for it and we were. planning to have another drink. Talk about pushed out the restaurant. The beef has small bones in it and personally find removing bones from your mouth at the table as revoluting. we only have 2 nights here but if I was given another option for the other night I’d take it."
