the couple who runs this home stay was very nice and welcoming. the breakfast was very good and their cocking class was super nice - still the best curry we have had in Sri Lanka! they gave good recommendations and helped with our arrangements, giving us local prices. also very nice rooms and close to the main street of restaurants. we stayed three nights and would definitely stay here again!

Quiet spot near Lion’s rock. Staff were ready to help at a moment’s notice and ready to fix anything for me. They helped book affordable transport and outings to Pidurangala rock and Minneriya Park. They weren’t upset when I said the WiFi wasn’t fast enough or the eggs were too salty— they helped me fix the problems immediately and I had fast WiFi and tasty eggs! Thank you for your excellent customer service.

We had the most wonderful stay at this warm and welcoming family home in Sri Lanka. From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the family. The house is spotlessly clean, and the beautiful courtyard, filled with fruit trees, was such a peaceful retreat, a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. The home-cooked food was absolutely amazing, with every meal showcasing the delicious flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine. Our hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, arranging trips for us and sharing great tips to make our stay even better. The two kids in the family were such a delight, so friendly, cheerful, and kind. If you’re looking for a stay that combines cleanliness, comfort, and authentic Sri Lankan hospitality, this is the perfect place. Chapeau! 🫶

Harsha and his family are super friendly hosts. He lives with his wife, mother and very cute children in a beautiful spot, very close to the main street, but far away enough from the road to be very quiet and calming. They started their homestay around 8 months ago, which means everything is still very new. The room is nice, clean and the huge bed is especially comfortabele. Harsha is still also a farmer and runs a plantation around his house filled with numerous crops. The homestay is in the middle of his impressive and very beautiful garden. We got a very nice (and affordable) cooking class from him and his friendly wife. We started by gathering the ingrediënts from the garden and Harsha can tell you a lot about them from his expertise. We ended up making delicious Sri Lankan food and learnt a lot about Sri Lankan cuisine. With all 10s in his reviews we hope to bring him and his family good fortune in the future.

Tremendous. Mahesh and his family were outstanding. They welcomed us into their home and made everything so easy for us. It was an authentic home stay experience and we loved every minute of it. They prepared a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast, helped us to get to their accommodation and to leave. They organised a fantastic safari where we saw many elephants in the wild with a baby elephant of only a few days old. They arranged a great tuck-tuck pick up and drop off to visit and climb a local landmark. The drivers they arranged for us were thorough and showed us all of the best sites. Mahesh went above and beyond. He is a fantastic man with a fantastic family.

    Great hospitality ,so reasonable and valuable experiences. I swam in near lake with host family.Locals wash their bodies and clothes there. so I also washed my body. Host took me the Rock to watch sunrise, it was so beautiful view ,on the way home fortunately I saw wild crocodile. After that I rode an elephant (5000LKR required). They served so delicious and local breakfast. He was the best host ever. If you stay here,your satisfaction with staying in Sigiriya will be greatly improved.

    I really loved staying at Pidurangala View Home Stay ♥️ the hosts are amazing, super kind and attentive and will help you to organize your schedule so you can make the most of tour time. Also, the location is incredible, it is a 10 min walk to the entrance to the Lion Rock and a 5min walk to the entrance of Pidurangala. Those walks are so scenic, you can spot monkeys, butterflies, peacocks, it is perfect. The food is so delicious, I totally recommend that you have dinner at this homestay, it is SO delicious 🙏🏻 Loved the hosts ♥️

    The location was fantastic to see both rocks, our lovely host even organised a 5am tuk tuk for us to view Pidarangula Rock for sunrise. The homestay is also walkable distance to a lovely restaurant called Nirwana. Breakfast was delicious and the view from the terrace of Lions Rock is unmatched. You are really in the middle of the jungle here!

    we really enjoyed the location of the homestay as it is located a bit outside of the main road/tourist area. Free drinking water is available and if you pre-order it, you can also eat lunch and dinner there. Jayanti's lovely dog Lora was very friendly towards us and Jayanti hereself is a great host (we didn't have the chance to book it but she also offers cooking classes)
