First of all, my choice was good. I requesed a taxi service from Corombo airport to this hotel. The cost was 25000LKR≒72USD. It's not expensive. It was around 3hours drive. Located is near from Sigiriya.You might be able to go there on your foot, but I rent a hotel's bicycle. It was easy to reach there. The cost was FREE.So nice! I had two days breakfast, the cost was very cheap. but taste was gorgeous. It might be Sri Lanka cuisine. It became my good members. The staffs are Family menber. They all very friendly and kindness. They made my trip. Extremely Satisfied!!

A lovely family runs this place and the food is the best vegetarian meals I have had anywhere. It an be served to the table outside your room if you wish. The place is very clean and the two older sons working there are very polite and kind. They offer their own tuktuk, which means you don't get charged high prices. It is a true bargain and was a rewarding experience while staying in this area.

This was a homestay although I may have been misled by the previous reviews my expectancy was high. However on arrival I was slightly disillusioned and even moreso when during the night on a visit to the loo I stepped on a huge Centipede.... Definitely not as highly rated as the reviews show.. but comfortable in its own way.

Our most enjoyable and best value accommodation in Sri Lanka was the Palitha Homestay. Gracious hosts. Fabulous home cooking. Very convenient location for walk up Lion's Rock to fortress on top ( amazing). Close to tourist village for beers before dinner at homestay. Super breakfast (included). Scrupulously clean inside and outside. Highest recommendation.

Palitha Homestay was my "home" away from home. I initially planned to stay in Habarana & I only booked 2 nights here, but I'm glad I extended my stay. It's clean & no frills, run/owned by a very good & genuine family (most of my contact was with Mrs. Palitha & her son Bhagya), has good & healthy food (cooked by Mrs. Palitha), and is very close to the town centre and Lion Rock (15 mins max to walk to the ticket office). Bhagya/Mrs. Palitha can also help with tours/transport/travel tips. Most people stay only 2 nights in Sigiriya but it makes for a good base and cycling around the area & seeing everyday "real" life is worthwhile! Highly recommended.

This was our second home stay in Sri Lanka and we found a precious gem! The family's older son met us and made us feel very welcome. He is a credit to his family. Our room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The home is located very close to natural park where wild elephants roam! The streets are dark, so take a torch!

This was one of the best places I have stayed in Sri Lanka. My room (the blue room) was gorgeous with a lovely verandah to relax on. Mrs Palitha and her family went out of their way to help me in all sorts of ways, including a 5am tuk-tuk ride to Pidurangula and then to the junction when I was leaving. Mrs Palitha is also a wonderful cook.
