Sigiriya Village

Lovely hotel. Very peaceful. Staff very friendly. Need more loungers at the pool. And walkways very slippy after rain.

The stay at Sigiriya Village was the highlight of our Sri Lanka visit. Design by Bawa, a famous architectural family, the grounds and facilities are stunning. Entering the space, we felt instantly calm. The staff was so kind and helpful. There were elegant and beautiful massage facilities and I strongly recommend a massage. The food was delicious, the setting perfect, looking at the Lion Rock.

Everything Wonderful chilled place and set in beautiful grounds Staff were excellent

No maintenence. Threadbare towels roads to villa toond full of pothokes and slippery due to moss and uneven surface

Review for Sigiriya Village Hotel – Sigiriya, Sri Lanka I recently stayed at Sigiriya Village Hotel, and overall, it was a pleasant and memorable experience. The room was comfortable, and the stay itself was enjoyable. Breakfast was a highlight — fresh, tasty, and with a good variety of options. The Sri Lankan rice and curries I ordered during my stay were also delicious and full of flavour. That said, there were a couple of maintenance issues in the room, which I have already shared directly with Krishanth and the front desk. Above the ceiling fan, the paint on the ceiling had peeled off and had fallen directly onto the bed — not ideal, and potentially unpleasant if a child or family member had been sleeping there. The bathroom tap was quite loose, and there was a strong smell coming from the toilet/basin area that could use attention. My main disappointment was with one à la carte dinner. I waited almost an hour for my meal, and it took some time to find a staff member to check on the order. When the food arrived, there were two issues: • The nasi goreng did not resemble or taste like nasi goreng — it was pale, lacked the typical sauce, and was flavourless. • The Jaffna prawn curry appeared to have been made with cold-water prawns in a yellowish coconut butter, which was quite different from what I was expecting. I had anticipated at least tiger prawns (or an equivalent) in a darker, reddish, richly spiced sauce. At first, no one was available to address the complaint

The hotel needs an upgrade very badly. The staff and food was excellent. It”s such a beautiful location and an extremely perfect asset for a big improvement in infrastructure. Please make sure the hotel is upgraded/refurbished.

This is a beautiful property with spacious rooms that make you feel like you are living in a lush green space. Clean rooms, nice space to work, comfortable bed. The only small complaint I have is the internet was a little slow, video calls for work were blurry, but it worked! Breakfast buffet was really good with lots of options. Bar was pretty pricy but it was nice. The pool was also a welcome amenity after hiking. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely peaceful hotel with amazing cabins. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Pool and bar area was lovely and clean - hard working pool guy there. Breakfast was great buffet style. We went out to dinner to nights we were here but there is a restaurant. 10-15 mins walk from Lions Rock entrance so great location.

We stayed in that hotel for 3 nights in March 2025. The property is very nice in general. It's all surrounded by a beautiful garden which they keep very clean all the time. Exceptional stuff, very kind, professional and helpful. The lobby is like a patio with a roof so you can enjoy fresh air all the time and the amazing view of Sigiriya Lion's Rock. Delicious breakfast with tons of options. Very good location, just a few steps from the center of the town. The only down was the air in the room which was moldy and I smelled it every time I got into the room. It was spacious, clean, good mattresses but the smell killed the experience a bit.

Unique setting excellent food and choices, like being in an island retreat in a forest and natural setting. Lovely staff always attending to the details - staff very well trained in excellent hospitality professional service - it showed at all times. Highly recommended.

Rustic and charming.

Enjoyed the village vibe in the property with lot of space to walk around. Breakfast buffet had lot of options.ideal for family outing.

The location of the hotel is amazing, just a short walk into the town which was beautiful but sunset. The hotel itself is a little dated and our room smelt like damp and the air conditioning wasn’t always working. The breakfast was ok but could do with more variety.

Staff are very helpful and friendly!

The perfect location for staying in Sigaraya. Great restaurant for breakfast and lunch and room was really nice.

Lovely hotel in a great location. Massive grounds overlooking the rock. Good cocktails. Good breakfast. Sadly didn't use the pool area due to the weather. 2 mins walk from plenty of restaurants/bars.

In general a great stay, very friendly staff and good dinner buffet option. However, though the room was very clean and spacious it was very dark (I struggled to read) and as my room was anointed to another the wall was very thin and I could hear everything including snoring for 8 hours!

Enjoyed our 2 nights here. Room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and had many choices! Property is serene and feels wonderful. The view from the pool and dining area of Lions Rock is fabulous. Many choices of restaurants in the area within 10 minutes walking. We ate a la carte dinner one night in the hotel restaurant and thought it was great - vegetable curries with rice, vegetable spring rolls and nasi goreng. We also walked to Lions Rock and on to Pidurangala Rock - it takes about a half hour to each, so plan for a minimum 1 hour walk each way. Overall, really liked it here. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to be close to the rock.

Sigiriya Village exceeded our expectations- for its pricing, it puts a strong foot forward to provide comfort and quality service. This is not a ‘fancy’ stay, but it was clean and the rooms were spacious. The location boasts an amazing view of Sigiriya Rock and it does not disappoint. We had the buffet for breakfast included in our stay (which was great!). I’d highly recommend this property for anyone wanting to climb Sigiriya Rock (location and convenience to entrances is perfect!). The property is also excellent for group bookings (bungalow/village style) was fantastic. Highly recommend!
