Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort Sigiriya ★★★★

📍 Pothana, Kimbissa, Dambulla

"I recently stayed at Ayugiri Wellness Resort in Sigiriya and I truly had a wonderful experience. From the day I arrived, I felt calm and relaxed. The resort is surrounded by nature, trees and fresh air. It is very quiet and peaceful, which makes it perfect for anyone who wants to take a break from busy life. The staff were very kind and welcoming. They always smiled and spoke politely. If I needed anything, they were happy to help. Their friendly service made my stay even more comfortable. Yoga Experience The yoga sessions were my favorite part of the stay. The yoga area is open and beautiful, surrounded by greenery. Doing yoga while hearing birds and feeling the natural breeze was very special. The instructors were patient and clear when explaining the poses. They helped everyone according to their level, so even beginners can feel comfortable. After each session, I felt relaxed, fresh, and peaceful in my mind. Room My villa was very clean and spacious. The design was simple but elegant. The bed was comfortable, and the room had everything I needed. I loved waking up and seeing the green views outside. It felt very private and calm. Food and Restaurant The restaurant experience was also very good. The dining area is peaceful and nicely arranged. Eating in such a quiet and natural environment made every meal enjoyable. The food was fresh and healthy. You can feel that the ingredients are good quality and carefully chosen. Breakfast had fresh fruits, herbal drinks, and light but filling dishes. Lunch and dinner had healthy meals with nice flavors. The Sri Lankan dishes were especially tasty, but still not too heavy. I also enjoyed the drinks very much. The fresh juices and herbal teas were refreshing and perfect for the wellness atmosphere. Everything felt clean, natural, and good for the body. The restaurant staff were attentive and friendly, always ready to suggest something or explain the menu. Treatments I tried the Ayurvedic treatments and they were very relaxing. The therapists were professional and made sure I was comfortable. After the treatment, I felt lighter and less stressed. “””””””””””” Ayugiri is not just a hotel, it is a place where you can truly relax and feel better♥️. I left feeling refreshed, happy and peaceful. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants rest, yoga, healthy food, and good service. I hope to visit again soon🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️"

Araliya Self Cooking Resort Dambulla ★★

📍 VM47+8RH, Dambulla

"They were so kind. When we arrived, it was raining and very cold, but the owner welcomed us with an umbrella and recommended that we take a shower in Daiki, which helped us to relax. They also kindly consulted with us about our next plans, and prepared a wonderful lunch set for us, even though we were only staying overnight. The tea set, which is unique to the highlands, was also delicious, and we are very grateful. Thank you very much."

Amaya Lake Dambulla

Amaya Lake Dambulla ★★★★★

📍 Sigiriya, Kandalama

"The environment is really nice, the facilities are old and not very clean. The service is OK. There are 2 swimming pools, and I recommend the one inside the hotel. There are little monkeys, squirrels, and little lizards. The food is average, but the price is OK."

Sigiriya Village
8.5 (60 reviews)

Sigiriya Village ★★★★★

📍 Hotel Rd, Sigiriya

"It has a colonial feel and is a bit dated. But the location is fantastic, practically in the middle of a forest.  There are many monkeys and other animals roaming around.   Rooms are large.  Food quality is on par for Sri Lanka. The staff are excellent, knowledgeable of attractions and helpfull arranging tours and taxis."

SigiriyaJungles Resort & Spa Hotels in Matale

SigiriyaJungles Resort & Spa

"The hotel is so original. You can even see frogs in the room. If you are afraid of bugs, be careful. I am a bit afraid of bugs anyway. The location is relatively deep. There is no place to eat around, so you can only eat at the hotel buffet."

Liyya Water Villas Hotels in Matale

Liyya Water Villas

"First, this hotel is in a very remote location, with nothing nearby, making it difficult to get around. Secondly, the hotel's design clearly shows a lot of effort, but it's not well maintained. We were moved four rooms in one day. Within 10 minutes of checking in, they told us there was a plumbing problem. After a long wait, they moved us to a different room type. After checking in, we still had no water. In the third room, large bugs kept dropping onto the bed and onto our bodies throughout the night, which was terrifying. We finally got our final room cleaned and changed after 10 PM. We finally got some sleep, but the next morning, the stationary hair dryer was broken again! We had our laundry done, and they told us we didn't need to iron it, only wash it. But when we checked out, they still charged us for the ironing! Luckily, my husband had texted them about our request via What's Up, and they were able to get rid of the extra charge. This completely delayed our plans for the better part of a day!"

Kassapa Lion's Rock Hotels in Matale

Kassapa Lion's Rock

"The hot water was gone after the first shower, and the rest were at room temperature. Each room is an independent little house, so you don't have to worry about disturbing others. The greenery is very good with many trees. The buffet dinner is too ordinary, and no free drinks or water are provided. The breakfast is a surprise in comparison."

Hotel Sigiriyaaya - Jetwing Select Hotels in Matale

Hotel Sigiriyaaya - Jetwing Select

"A wonderful hotel in a quiet location among rice fields. Peacocks and the sounds of the jungle. If you love nature and solitude, this is perfect! Just remember that there's no "civilization" right next door. The rooms are nice, clean, and comfortable. The reception is very warm. The breakfast and dinner were delicious! Thanks to all the hotel staff. Most importantly for those traveling by car, the road Google defaults to on the lake side is bad, full of potholes; we barely made it. The road on the other side, while rough, is much better. I've attached a map in the photo."

Elephas Resort & Spa Hotels in Matale

Elephas Resort & Spa

"We had a truly wonderful experience at Elphas Resort! The rooms are very spacious, spotless, and beautifully maintained. The pool is absolutely fantastic , perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure. The entire team is exceptionally professional, friendly, and always ready to go the extra mile to make your stay special. The “to-go” breakfast was amazing — such a thoughtful touch for early excursions! A special thanks to the front manager, Mr :De Costa , whose kindness and attention made our stay unforgettable. Thanks to his great tips and connections, we enjoyed incredible experiences — from bathing elephants to an amazing safari. We couldn’t recommend Elphas Resort more highly , it’s a place where comfort, adventure, and genuine hospitality come together perfectly!"

Eden Grand Hotels in Matale

Eden Grand

"It's a little far from the city center, about 100 meters from the main road. I was using Google Maps to get there, but I took a wrong turn and had to ask a local for directions. Looking again, there's a hotel sign on a utility pole at the corner, so please refer to that. In terms of facilities, it's equipped with a kettle, refrigerator, hairdryer, and air conditioner, and the TV has good picture quality. Coffee, tea, and two bottles of water are also provided, making it well worth the price. (It's probably a new building, so there are few gaps, and hardly any flies or ants got in.) As for the food, breakfast is a mix of Sri Lankan and English style, with good taste and quantity. Combined with the facilities, it offers better value than other hotels in the same price range, so I recommend it. The owner's family was also very kind. ka"

Amron Resort Sigiriya Hotels in Matale

Amron Resort Sigiriya

"A month at this hotel was a true fairy tale for us! We felt right at home thanks to the incredibly friendly and kind family who took care of us from the very first moment. They were also ready to help with literally everything! When we mentioned that we wanted to cook for ourselves and were looking for accommodation with a kitchen, they simply... built us a kitchen! It was incredible! We couldn't imagine that people could be so responsive. We were often treated to incredibly delicious, generous meals. Breakfasts are a special treat here: always plenty of food, fresh ingredients, and everything is incredibly delicious. You can also rent their bicycles to explore the amazing Sigiriya. It was amazing! Riding along picturesque trails amidst the wild nature was a dream! Even within the hotel grounds, you can feel a connection with nature: colorful birds sing their melodies, squirrels dart through the palm trees, and monitor lizards leisurely wander through the bushes – true harmony with nature. We left with a heavy heart, as this place became our home for a whole month. We recommend it to anyone seeking warm hospitality, comfort, and a connection with nature. Don't hesitate – this hotel is definitely worth your consideration!"

Oak Ray Elephant Lake Hotels in Matale

Oak Ray Elephant Lake

"We stayed for one night. The hotel is nice, the room is big and clean. The pool was nice but in our case it was very windy and it's surrounded by trees so the water had a lot of leaves. But we still decided to go in. The lobby had a free table tennis plate and everyone was very friendly. For our feeling the food (dinner/breakfast) was expensive as there are not much options around but just a few hundred meters away is a fantastic Sri Lankan restaurant called Mr. Monkey."

Serenity Sigiri Resort Hotels in Matale

Serenity Sigiri Resort

"The owner was incredibly kind. He took me on a safari, where I saw so many wild animals. He also helped with transportation to and from Sigiriya Rock. The location is very close to Sigiriya Rock, which made it convenient for me to get up early the next day to climb it. His daughter was also adorable; after we went to the lake, she specially came over to take me back to my dorm. It was a very heartwarming experience."

"The scenery was lovely. Rooms were clean. However the whole hotel was quite dated and not worth the price paid. Service was average at best with them being generally being slow at meal times and long waits for food (had ala carte for dinner ) The breakfast buffet had a good spread but there were flies around the fruit station - very off putting"

Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort Sigiriya ★★★★
"Had an amazing experience here! Where else can you see monkeys outside your hotel room. The staff made any request possible without hesitation. Super respectful. But big thank you to Praveen. Honestly the best service I’ve received from anyone at any hotel ever. Friendly, attentive and goes above and beyond. His english is top tier and can’t recommend this place enough, and mainly because of Praveen. If the manager of Ayugiri is reading this you must increase Praveen’s salary and give him promotion!! Thank you for a lovely experience."

Araliya Self Cooking Resort Dambulla ★★
"I used it when I traveled with 3 friends! It's a place where you can heal with plenty of nature, but the location was good because you can go to the rice shop as soon as you take a taxi. I wore it without hesitation because there was a sign nearby. The most impressive thing was the kindness of the owner! I arrived late at night, but he welcomed me very warmly without a disgusting face. The tea that was served for free on my way home was really delicious. The room was great, and even if we stayed for 3 people, there was a fluffy bed for each person! It was cool at night and I could sleep well, and the water area I was worried about was usually clean and there was no problem at all. Anyway, the owner's personality was nice and it was an inn that I would definitely want to stay again!"

Amaya Lake Dambulla ★★★★★
"It was such a wonderful hotel that I would like to stay there again. The grounds were spacious, with cottages surrounded by greenery, and there were monkeys and birds. It's along the lake, so the scenery is beautiful. The bathtub valve was broken so the hot water ran out quickly, the food took a long time to arrive, and there was not much variety in breakfast, but they prepared lunch boxes for us early in the morning when we asked, which was very helpful, and the staff at the front desk and in the restaurant were very kind. There was also a group of Japanese guests there."
