Our stay in Relax Nature Villa was truly exceptional! Mahinde and his family are the BEST, they prepared a delicious breakfast for us and rented us bikes. Room was perfect, very comfortable bed, everything was clean. I would say that everyone should stay even for a night at this magical place, which is worthy of its name.

    Our best guest house in Sri Lanka. Very welcoming and smiling hosts. The room was really nice for the price. Breakfast was pretty good (especially the sri lankan one and their pancake), and a very nice kotthu for the evening ! Highly recommend them !!

    The property is very nice and well located near Sigirya Rock. Next to the house, there is a quiet street with a few restaurants. The first night we had dinner in the house, prepared by the owner of the pension: it was typical Sri Lankan food, generous portion and very tasty. The room was big, with air conditioning and clean. The bathroom was also very big. Be aware you’re in the nature, so there might be some insects in the room, but nothing to worry about.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Sigiri Lion Lodge. Upon arrival we were greeted by the lovely host and were offered a few options to choose our room. The room was spacious and clean. Really comfortable beds and the aircon worked great. The building is really nice with a few floors and a nice and quiet location. Breakfast is not included but we added it for our last day, plenty and delicious. They have a laundry service as well, with finally some nice smelling clothes😁

    Best stay we had in Sri Lanka so far! Small guesthouse with two rooms in the garden of the host family. The room is super clean and modern. It is very peaceful and quiet at night. The host arranged a last-minute elephant safari for us, which was amazing! The food was also great! We would recommend everyone to stay here.

    Very comfortable, spacious, and clean rooms. Very friendly, welcoming, and helpful hosts. The accomodation is a bit away from the city center but it's a totally walkable distance and there are a few good redtaurants about 200m away anyways. It's wonderfully quiet at night! Amazing Sri Lankan breakfast with wonderful views of the garden. Thank you for a great stay, we can greatly recommend staying here!
