- From $171.34 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very Good - What previous guests thought, 412 reviewsI arrived late at night, and my first impressions were amazing. The hotel is calm and stylish; the entrance and lobby are elegant, and there were at least 2 members of staff working the front desk even though it was late at night. The staff was amazing. I’m a young guy and have stayed at nice hotels before and never once felt uncomfortable here. All the staff greeted you with a smile and were more than happy to talk. The staff truly set Sigiriya apart from its competitors. I was given a unit on the L side for my stay. It was a cool, pool-facing balcony. The room is huge, and I booked just the most basic one but upgraded to Deluxe +. A king bed, a comfortable sofa, and a small dressing area. I loved the style and layout. The bathroom was nice; again, I liked the style. Housekeeping was immaculate, and the room was left spotless—truly outstanding work by them. I spent much of my time at the pool; there’s plenty of seating that’s all plush and comfortable. The pool is large, and it was peaceful there. There seemed to be numerous staff working the bar, & you could order drinks and snacks. The only time I ate at the restaurant was for the free breakfast. Black coffee is included, as well as water and juice. The breakfast buffet is included, but wow it was nice & large. There was a selection of bread, charcuterie, fresh fruit, fresh juices, local dishes and action stations, and many to describe. Once again, I’m glad to have anything included.Guest review byToniUnited States
- From $214.17 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.0Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 720 reviewsI rarely write reviews but this hotel… simply wow! First of all the staff! Amazing each and every single person! So professional! We took wooden Cabana, zero ants, clean and tidy, nice design, quite and peaceful outside seating area. Every day we’re back to the room they arrange some fun towels design 🥰 Ayurvedic amenities in the bathroom. Dinner buffet has many options for Europeans, not only Sri Lankan food. Beautiful view at the pool to Sigiriya. Peacocks, squirrels, monkey around the hotel area 🥰 Cycles are on request, there’s nice track around the hotel. Yoga at 6:30am on request. Forgot the name of the master but we enjoyed it so much! Thank you again! As it was just me and my hubby, first time we had a yoga session together and short meditation in the end. It was the highlight of the vacation. Dont miss this hotel! You won’t regret!Guest review byMarianaUnited Arab Emirates
- From $367.20 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.9Good - What previous guests thought, 36 reviewsNimal the property manager and his staff were great during our stay, and overall, we felt very taken care of. When we had trouble getting a tuk tuk via pickme/uber to get around, Nimal would help us get that sorted. No matter how late we got back, they'd always have someone waiting for us in the main concierge area to make sure everything's ok and get our breakfast order. When Nimal learned we were traveling to Ella on the day of checkout, he informed the kitchen staff and prepare a snack (delicious AND amazingly packaged sandwiches and bananas) and water for our travel. We'd stay here again!Guest review byJessicaUnited States
- From $667.41 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very Good - What previous guests thought, 114 reviewsThe perfect getaway. The Kumbuk Chalet was just amazing, the bathroom needs a little bit of renovation but as long as it is clean it doesn’t really matter. The staff was really nice, they were very helpful when my bag was taken by mistake and investigated immediately, everything turned out well. Restaurant is very good and the surroundings are just so calm and relaxing.Guest review byChiaraItaly

There is so much more to do in this area than I realised.
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.Guest review byHazelIreland - 10.0

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.Guest review byImanAustralia - 10.0

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.Guest review byUdanaSri Lanka - 10.0
A nice hike to view a breathe taking view.
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.Guest review byGavin RosayroSri Lanka - 10.0
Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy,...
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.Guest review byMalayIndia - 8.0

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.Guest review byroshan jayawickramaSri Lanka - 10.0

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.Guest review byDominicUnited Kingdom - 10.0

Dambulla is truly the perfect gateway to explore Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle! Located at the heart of this historic region, it offers unbeatable access to some of the country’s most iconic sites.

With its central location, Dambulla is the ideal base for exploring these cultural wonders, while also providing a peaceful escape surrounded by nature. Whether you're into history, culture, or simply breathtaking landscapes, Dambulla is the best place to start your journey through Sri Lanka’s rich heritage.Guest review byDavid
