This is the best place to chill and slow down:) I stayed here for 2 full weeks because I felt so at home, and became very good friends with Diwa and Chooti who run the place. They are amazing people and very open. They know a lot about the area as well as other regions, if you need any recommendations. They drove us with other guests to many cool places (don’t forget to help cover the Tuktuk gas costs please! They hesitate to ask.) Both of them take good care of all the guests! They keep it very very clean, every day doing a full cleaning routine inside and sweeping outdoors! The breakfast included is nice as well. The location is outside of Sigiriya main center, which is perfect for me! It’s very local and authentic in this area, local food at local prices. It doesn’t have that touristy energy. I loved going for walks around the area, chilling in the hammocks and common area. Surrounded by all the trees. Whether sun or rain, it was amazing. As a solo traveler, I met so many amazing friends here. Very social, the hosts do their best for that. Everyone is chill and open because of the energy of the place. You won’t regret! Definitely come with a chill mind, without rush or much plans. Go day by day :) Ps. You will fall in love with their sweet dog Lili 🩵

Room was lovely, big bed and misquote net. Shower had hot water and there was a lockable cupboard for valuables. Hosts were so kind, very helpful and genuinely wanted to make sure everyone had a nice stay.

Everything was perfect! It was such a wonderful place to start our trip. The food was absolutely delicious, and the rooms were super comfortable. The bar was such a cozy and fun spot to hang out, and the staff were incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. The cooking class is also an absolute must-do and highly recommended. We’ll definitely come back again!

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!

We had a wonderful stay at this hostel! The place is impeccably clean and well-maintained, making it feel like a home away from home. The host is incredibly friendly and helpful, always going out of his way to ensure a pleasant stay and offering great tips for local attractions. The traditional breakfast served each morning was absolutely delicious – a perfect start to the day! The hostel is located in a peaceful area, offering a calm and relaxing atmosphere, yet still close enough to everything you need. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and quiet place to stay. We would definitely come back!

I stayed in this hostel for 3 nights. All of the equipment was very clean and the bed was bigger than a single bed, so it was very comfortable. But the best point of this hostel is the staff. They care for me all the time and are quite kind. It is the reason that I extended to stay here one more night. If I come back to Sigiriya next time I will stay in this hostel again.

    The common area is very well put together, gives homie-vibes and it's very prone to meet other travelers in the hostel. The staff of the hostel, also, promote a good integration for everybody, organizing certain activities in group that everyone can participate in, like going to the lake, watching sunset in a secret place or doing BBQ Best hostel for backpackers and solo travelers no doubt Ah, and the food is amazing. Excellent really
