Beautiful and clean Hotel with an epic view of Sigiriya Rock! The stuff was super helpful and nice, especially Dhananjaya. He made sure there is absolutely nothing that we are missing. I can only recommend this hotel when visiting Sigiriya!

The Shakshuka breakfast was delicious, also the pasta dinner ~ as good as in Italy. Bed so comfortable, setting very peaceful. Pool was perfect for cooling down in the middle of the day and I loved watching monkeys swing through the trees while reading on a pool lounger. The owner arranged a jeep safari for me at local Eco Park ~ it was awesome to see elephants up so close!

We genuinely loved our stay at this beautiful hotel. It felt like coming home – not to one mom, but to many welcoming moms. All the staff took such good care of us and made sure we had the best time. They had great tips on sightseeing and booked a fair priced tuktuk to drive us around Dambulla. The buffet was varied and delicious; the room and garden were tidy, beautiful and clearly looked after; the bed was super comfortable. We really hope we can come back one day.

Excellent place to spend few days or even weeks. The rooms are big, clean and modern. One can order breakfast, lunch, dinner and basically anything you want. The menu is it boring but if you talk to the chef, he will make you the best autentic Srilankan meal in the whole country. We had dinner every night during our stay and the chef made us such a delicous food which we will not forget. The owner is a great guy and he is always there to help you out and answer your questions in several languages ;)

We love this place. The rooms are very big and nicely prepared. The stuff is amazing, almost nothing is a problem. The kitchen is very delicious so we have breakfast/lunch/dinner here. Definitely worth it. They also arrange for us the trip to safari and to Sigiriya rock. The Sigiriya place is a little bit overcrowded, but still it's a nice tour. I appreciate the pool in the garden and the hight trees here (they cooling the place so you can be by the pool anytime of the day. Its 10 out of 10 place.

    Outstanding Hospitality and Service at Hotel Sigiriya From the moment we arrived at Hotel Sigiriya, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. Every member of the staff contributed to making our stay truly exceptional. Whether it was the front desk, housekeeping, restaurant team, or groundskeepers, each person carried a friendly smile and was eager to help in any way possible. The attention to detail, the courtesy extended to guests, and the calm, professional demeanor of everyone we interacted with made us feel both valued and at home. Special thanks to the team for always being attentive without being intrusive, and for consistently going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. It’s rare to find such a consistent level of excellence across the entire staff, and it’s clear that this hotel takes pride in its service. Thank you all for making our visit to Sigiriya not just a stay, but a memorable experience. Highly recommended — and we will certainly return!

    It was without a doubt one of the favorite hotels I stayed in during my time in Sri Lanka! Upon arrival, the staff warmly welcomed us, our names were mentioned, and we were upgraded. The staff was extremely friendly, the restaurant very flexible (I appreciate this!), and the restaurant Manager deserves special thanks. We had a great evening here, which obviously also added up to the experience. In the evening we did a village trekking which was guided by Ayesha, who works as an Officer in the Front Office. She has such a warm personality and a highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed walking the two of us through the village. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relief to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The natural bath at the end was a great way to end the trekking.

    Beautiful hotel with exceptional staff. A special thank you to our naturalist Noel, with whom we did three wonderful tours (an incredible elephant safari, an educational and interesting trip to Lion’s Rock, and a cool hike to Pidurangala Rock). Noel constantly went above the call of duty and is a massive asset to the hotel. A special word of thanks also to our attentive and punctual porter, Sasika, who took great care of us. Thank you to the whole Water Garden Sigiriya team for making our first trip to Sri Lanka so memorable - we will return!

We had some issues with a scooter we rented and he came with his team to where we were stranded to resolve. The whole team went above and beyond for us. Out of all rge locations we stayed in Sri Lanka, the food here topped the list. Absolutely delicious and fresh from their garden, be sure to ask for a tour! A great place to end the trip

    There is so much more to do in this area than I realised. I will definitely come back. The area is beautiful and we were sad to leave. We dud Pidurangala Rock which was fun, more of an adventurous climb than Lions Rock. It has incredible views of Lions Rock. We also did a safari in Minneriya National Park. The park was beautiful and we saw so many elephants plus lots of varieties of birds, golden jackals, monkees, mongoose, the grizzled giant squirrel, buffalo and jungle foul. We also went to Dambula Temple Caves which is very spiritual and Luckgrove Spice Gardens which was an incredible experience. Highly recommend this area.

    We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.

    A beautiful place on earth that there are lots of 360 degree view points. But if it rains it will ruin your plans. So make sure you depend on weatherly and visit Matale when it shows many continuous sunny days. Even on cloudy forecasts do not visit as all mointain tops then will be covered and you will not see the sights. when it is humid leaches also will be active and will become a painful experience.

    A nice hike to view a breathe taking view. If anyone should travel to Sigiriya they should start to climb the rock at 5.30am as the ticket counters open. Wearing proper hiking or workout clothes would be the best.

    Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. We stayed there for 4 Nights and could cover the heritage sites easily. Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.

    Mainly there are 10-12 attractions in Matale. As I just stayed one day which was not sufficient to visit all the places. Among them where I went were also hampered due to the rain at time to time. Generally Matele was quit good tourist destination if it is planned well with couple of days.

    Sigiriya is stunning and has a lovely village charm to it, compared to the tourist/backpacker mecca that is Ella. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from but it somehow doesn't detract and Sigiriya still feels very local and true to SL values.
