Good brakfast- fruits, eggs, jam and buter with toast + a different traditional side dish every day… if you want they make you dinner. They made pancakes for me, with coconut and honney, the best! The pool is realy nice, they clean it every day! They have an outdoor dining area where you can hang out. The staff are really friendly, and on the last day we were able to stay at the pool and wait for our shuttle. They looked after the suitcases.

This place boasts an amazing view – it's worth staying here for that. You'll find a clean, spacious room, an excellent pool, and even monkeys in the trees right next to the veranda. The breakfasts are good and filling, and you can easily walk to Lion Rock. ​The only downside is the road leading to the main one (about 300-400 meters), which isn't lit and has many stray dogs. It's quite unpleasant to walk at night, but you can always take a tuk-tuk to get where you need to go.

The best hotel so far on our trip. Centrally located, with breakfast overlooking the incredible Lion Rock. Every day we were surprised with a delicious local sweet dish! so good! Clean rooms, with hairdryer and Smart TV. Dinusha was super helpful and arranged a tour for us to Sigiriya and Dambulla with Kumara, whom we 100% recommend. An excellent experience. We would definitely come back!

Everything was great. The host is friendly and very helpful! The place is clean and the location is excellent, middle of the jungle, 5 minutes walk from lions rock. We arrived in the middle of the night and the property owner was so helpful and nice and waited for us. They made us Sri Lanka breakfast and coffee in the morning :) The rooms are simple and clean, the AC works, the pool is clean. You can hear many birds in the morning and it’s a full jungle experience. We had a late flight and the check out was late which was also no problem!

The best part of our stay was the host, who went above and beyond to help us organize excursions and transportation. His advice was truly invaluable. The accommodation itself was nice — clean and comfortable. The spacious yard and swimming pool are available for all guests to enjoy. We didn’t try the food, but the coffee was fantastic! Guests also have the option to borrow bicycles free of charge, which is a great bonus.

    We had a wonderful stay, especially on such short notice! Nimal and his team went the extra mile to ensure we were looked after. The villa was incredible, placing you right in the centre of nature and on each walk to the restaurant, we saw beautiful birds and even a peacock! My wife and I were both treated to the famous Sri Lankan hospitality, as mentioned by our friends who visited this beautiful country and hats off to the chef for producing mouthwatering food! The chef even taught us how to make pol roti, a delicious breakfast item in Sri Lanka. We wish we booked more days as the resort offers so much! We will certainly recommend this beautiful resort to our friends and even come back here. Thanks, Wild Grass team for the memorable stay!

    We had an amazing stay at Water Garden Sigiriya. The whole place is so peaceful, and it felt like we were surrounded by nature – perfect for a relaxing getaway. Our room was incredible – super spacious and comfortable, and having our own private pool was definitely a highlight! The food was great; every meal was delicious, and you could tell a lot of care went into it. The service was also fantastic, especially from Sashi, Thamidu, and Dilshan, who made our stay even more enjoyable. They were friendly and always ready to help with anything we needed. Overall, it was such a memorable experience, and we left feeling completely recharged. Would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a mix of relaxation and great hospitality!

    After a disappointing experience elsewhere, finding Village Sigiriya felt like discovering paradise! The hotel is surrounded by a stunning, lush green area that immediately puts you at ease. The pool is perfect for relaxing, and the live music every evening adds such a magical touch to the atmosphere. The Ayurvedic center is a wonderful bonus for anyone looking to unwind even further. The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. My room was huge, beautifully designed, and had a lovely private yard in front—such a peaceful spot to enjoy the surroundings. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend Village Sigiriya for anyone visiting this area!

    Great and very friendly staff in all departments of the hotel. The hotel’s very own naturalists are brilliant and are assisting with everything you need for a successful trip or excursion - water, juices, soft drinks and cool refreshing towels are always part of the service. We enjoyed the big pool for all hotel guests as well as our private pool next to the room which helped us to feel really relaxed. The hotel is a true sanctuary and we enjoyed the nature and natural sounds every second of our stay. A minimum 3 nights stay is highly recommended to have enough time to discover the historic places and the nature in this part of Sri Lanka as well as to relax on property (we stayed 4 nights).

The price here was a quite a bit higher than anything else we payed for on our trip, but it was well worth it! And hopefully places like this help preserve the priceless Sri Lanka's nature.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. From Dambulla, you’re just a short drive from the majestic Sigiriya Rock Fortress, the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, and the sacred ruins of Anuradhapura. The Dambulla Cave Temple itself is a stunning treasure, filled with ancient statues and beautiful murals.
