This place has a charm! Something wonderful has been created and I can recommend staying there. The room is comfortable enough, the common space is welcoming, and the whole ambiance is creative. An additional plus for the activities arranged by the staff and delicious, superb breakfast. I wish you all the best and hopefully, this property will continue to grow.

Honestly one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at during my time in Sri Lanka. The place is clean and comfortable, breakfast was always delicious, and the one dinner I had there turned out to be the best meal of my trip — tasty, generous, and great quality. What really made it special was the people. Maliya was so kind and helpful, always there if I needed anything. He even took me to a beautiful sunset spot nearby and walked me to the bus stop when I checked out. Those small gestures really meant a lot and made the stay unforgettable. Highly recommend this place!

I had an amazing experience at Sigiri Serenity Hostel! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel right at home with their warm hospitality and helpful local tips. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and surrounded by beautiful nature, making it the perfect peaceful getaway near Sigiriya Rock. The common areas are great for relaxing or meeting fellow travelers, and the home-cooked meals were absolutely delicious — some of the best food I had in Sri Lanka! The location is ideal: quiet, yet just a short bike ride away from Sigiriya Rock and Pidurangala. Whether you're solo, with friends, or a couple, this hostel has everything you need for a memorable and comfortable stay. Highly recommended!

The breakfast and dinner were amazing, always different and cooked by the owner Costa, also a chef. Costa took us to a safari where we saw 70+ elephants, took me to Pidurangula for the sunrise and gave explainations about everything. Him and his wife are lovely and the place is quiet in the middle of the jungle. You might even see elephants there!

I stayed at this hotel recently and had a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was really positive, and the staff were super friendly. The bathrooms were really clean, and the beds were so comfy. Plus, it's super close to all the cool stuff to see. Shoutout to Maliya, he's awesome! Make sure to join their WhatsApp group for updates on daily events. The food was tasty, and the prices were fair. Overall, I'd definitely recommend staying here!

This was a small hostel attached to a very kind families house in a PERFECT location. Breakfast everyday was delicious, cooked by the family who were hosting. Traditional Sri Lankan food and it was amazing (especially given it was free of charge with the booking). The location was impeccable with a maximum 10 minute walk to any of the things we were wanting to do. Host gave plenty of recommendations of activities and even organised some of our plans without taking commission or requesting extra money (even got one of his friends to give us a tuktuk ride for free at one point!). We stayed in the non-aircon room and whilst it was a little hot and stuffy at times, overall the fan and open windows provided more than enough refuge from the heat. Would 100% recommend this stay to anyone looking to spend a few nights in Sigiriya, overall great value for money. An experience worth far more than what we paid!!! THANK YOU!!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
