Bike hire is available at this homestay and the area is popular for cycling. The homestay also offers car hire. Sigiriya Rock is 800 metres from Sigiri Rock Side Home Stay, while Pidurangala Rock is 1.8 km from the property. For the location alone, this deserves a 10. Just across from Lions Rock, you can pop across the road and enter the property in no time. The room is as in the pictures, good data connectivity, and the shower is warm. I was worried about rain in the morning but got lucky so had an excellent hike up. Breakfast was amazing and the host super kind and helpful: arranged my transport to Kandy directly with them.

Boasting garden views, Tree Trails Sigiriya offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace, around 5.3 km from Pidurangala Rock. There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and full-day security for guests. I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, which is perfectly located just outside the village, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. It’s an ideal base for exploring Sigiriya Rock and Pidurangala, and you can easily rent a bike to get around. The hotel is set in the jungle, with charming independent houses that are very comfortable. Everything was spotless—pristine clean bedspreads, soft white towels, hot water, air conditioning, and satellite TV made my stay even more enjoyable. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, always going out of their way to ensure a great experience. The food was delicious and beautifully prepared, with a choice of continental, Sri Lankan, or English breakfast, as well as excellent lunch and dinner options. What makes this place even more special is that they only opened in December last year, and the owner is committed to giving young people opportunities for good jobs and a better future. I truly admire this initiative and wish them all the success. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique and comfortable stay in nature!

This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. All rooms come with a patio with views of the mountain. We traveled with our little daughter, who really enjoyed it. The accommodation is small but perfectly sufficient. It is located in beautiful nature, where you wake up to the sound of peacocks and other birds. The surroundings are stunning, and the breakfast area is lovely. We recommend trying their traditional sweet Sri Lankan breakfast. It is definitely ideal for a family with children. The location is perfect, just a 10-minute walk from the city. The owner is great and helpful; he offered tuk-tuk rides to and from the city and also assisted with getting on the bus to Kandy. Thank you!
