Heritance Kandalama
8.9 (299 reviews)

Heritance Kandalama ★★★★★

📍 Heritance Kandalama 11, Kandalama

"Beautiful resort. The decor in the rooms is a bit dated but authentic to the architect. Would like to see the rooms updated a bit but still 100% worth it and would stay here again as is."

Clodagh Manor House by Seven Angels
10 (13 reviews)

Clodagh Manor House by Seven Angels ★★★

📍 CLODAGH WESTERN Estate, Matale

"Clodagh Manor House is an absolute gem. Set within a stunning old estate, the property blends its beautifully restored colonial architecture with modern aesthetics in the perfect way — you feel the history, but you still get all the comfort. The whole stay was incredibly relaxing, and walking around the estate is honestly magical. Every old structure has a story, and it adds so much character to the experience. One of the biggest highlights was the food — truly outstanding, some of the best I’ve ever had. And the staff? Exceptional. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely accommodating. If you want a peaceful escape with charm, history, and next-level hospitality, this place delivers."

EKHO Sigiriya - 700 meters to Sigiriya Rock ★★★★

📍 EKHO Sigiriya Hotel, Sigiriya Rd, Sigiriya

"This hotel is in a great location, right at the foot of Lion Rock, very convenient for hiking. The environment and rooms are also good, but the food is too bad. Don't book a package that includes breakfast and dinner, you can go out on your own."

Aliya Resort and Spa - Thema Collection ★★★★★

📍 Audangawa, Sigiriya, Matale

"Beautiful hotel with a view of Lion Rock. If you don’t like the smell of wood, it is recommended to live in an ordinary small flat-floor house. It is recommended to live on the second floor, which is quieter and free of mosquitoes."

Sigiriya Village
8.7 (65 reviews)

Sigiriya Village ★★★★★

📍 Hotel Rd, Sigiriya

"It’s good if you want to experience living in a forest area. It’s very near some quaint little cafes outside the hotel facing the lion rock fortress aka sigiriya rock. If you are looking for 5 star hotel , it is not. It’s good for the locality, clean Very peaceful and pleasant place."

Amba Yaalu - Thema Collection "The First Women-LED Hotel in Sri Lanka" ★★★★★

📍 Lot 16, Pihilla Mookalana, Katupotha, Kandalama

"From the moment I arrived in the lobby, I felt wonderful and at ease. The welcome was perfect, with smiles on every face, and the place was meticulously maintained. The pool is lovely, and the birdsong added to the pleasure of staying at this Thema Group hotel. The manager and her team were incredibly attentive at every moment, discreet yet elegant. THANK YOU"

Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort Sigiriya
8.9 (11 reviews)

Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort Sigiriya ★★★★

📍 Pothana, Kimbissa, Dambulla

"Great stay! Room was huge and very comfortable, the massage was great and the staff extremely kind, including Lakshan and Irshan. Restaurant’s food is very good; breakfast serving is a bit slower than the time agreed, just keep that in mind if you have a packed schedule. This is the only minor flaw, for the rest the resort is super recommended! Would come back anytime"

Sigiri Hibiscus Villa Hotels in Matale

Sigiri Hibiscus Villa

"Just a short walk from the bus stop, this gem of a guesthouse is hands down the best place to stay in Sri Lanka. The owner goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, always offering help and thoughtful advice. He even arranged for a local tuk-tuk driver at a very reasonable price, ensuring I had the best experience exploring the area. Every afternoon, he would check in and offer a delightful cup of tea, making the stay feel extra special. His wife’s cooking is an absolute highlight—breakfast was not just delicious but prepared with so much care, adding a homely touch to every meal. The room itself was super clean, big, and incredibly comfortable. From start to finish, they both made me feel completely at home. I can say this was the best accommodation I experienced during my time in Sri Lanka, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a truly memorable and comfortable stay."

Covanro Sigiriya - Where Heritage Meets Luxury

"I had a wonderful stay at Covanro Sigiriya and was very impressed with the overall experience. The location is excellent, with a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and exceptionally clean, while the entire property was very well maintained. The quiet surroundings made the stay even more enjoyable. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful, providing excellent service throughout. The hotel also offers good amenities and facilities, and the variety of food was another highlight, with plenty of choices to suit different preferences. Considering the quality of the rooms, cleanliness, service, food, and facilities. Covanro Sigiriya is a wonderful place to stay, and I would definitely recommend it to others."

"We went out for lunch and drinks, and the service at Madhu was exceptionally friendly and inviting. We chose to sit by the pool, where the view was simply magnificent. The ambience was ideal for unwinding and taking in the beautiful surroundings. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a stunning landscape, take a swim, and experience a sunset 🌇.

The Otunna Guest House Sigiriya Hotels in Matale

The Otunna Guest House Sigiriya

"Dinesh and his family make The Otunna Guest House 5 star in every aspect. It’s everything we hoped for in Sigiriya: beautifully appointed comfortable wooden chalets set in a quiet jungle garden close to Lions Rock. The food was outstanding. We ate breakfast and dinner everyday for our 3-day stay. Dinesh’s mother cooked a superb selection of Sri Lankan dishes. We slept soundly in a fully air conditioned room with comfortable beds and a spacious bathroom. Dinesh was always on hand to help us organise activities and transfers, including our trip to Lions Rock, a safari at the National Park, and our trip to the Dambulla Cave Temple. We loved every second and could not recommend The Otunna Guest House highly enough."

Clodagh Manor House by Seven Angels ★★★
"One of those rare hotels that stay with you long after you leave. A colonial beauty that truly takes your breath away. The staff are a delight, the rooms are spotlessly clean and elegant. But it is the food that is truly superb. The chef is such a credit to the property and our evening meal at Clodagh was the highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka. Stunning views and an ambiance that takes you back in time. Thank you Clodagh for the most magical stay."

Kalundewa Retreat ★★★★★
"Kalundewa retreat is a beutiful place designed preserving the nature. The service provided is also as expected and the food was also tasty. Staff is also nice and friendly and is always available for anything you need. We stayed at karanda chalet and the chalet was also spacious enough. The garden is also well maintained and overall it’s a beutiful place. Few recommendations that is better if done. 1. On top of the karanda chalet outdoor pool it’s a tree with lots of bats. As nature calls their feces also sometimes fall into the pool and a lot of leaves too fall into the pool. We are very happy to see the pool in the middle of nature but having a dip and swimming in that outdoor pool is a bit risky.. so we didnt swim. If you can please clean the pool as much as possible before the guests arrive and try to come up with an idea to cover the pool when not in use. 2. So many glasses at karanda chalet are at a location that is not possible to clean daily.. clean them as much as possible and try to clean the outdoor glass doors before the next guest arrives ( so they have a crystal clear view through the glasses) 3. When we arrived a lot of leaves were fallen on the outdoor deck and the day bed cushions were not cleaned. I understand that according to the location of the karanda chalet if is very hard to keep it clean with the monkeys and the massive amount of large trees on top of it but I feel you can give a bit more effort to clean and keep to give a good looking first impression about the chalet to the guests. Please clean the outdoor day bed cushions and keep them separately so the guests can use them when needed ( otherwise the monkeys sit on them and make it dirty) 4. Bathroom is nice but being a five star hotel the bathroom amneties could have been of better quality. When ever possible please replace them to a luxury category. Also please keep up with your service. We had a nice stay there."

Aliya Resort and Spa - Thema Collection ★★★★★
"The room was a bit unsatisfactory, the air conditioner was a bit noisy, and there were traces of water soaking from the air conditioner on the wall. But the hotel environment is good, the greenery is great, the swimming pool is large, and there are many animals in the hotel. I took my child to play in the hotel all morning, and she was very happy to see the animals."

Amba Yaalu - Thema Collection "The First Women-LED Hotel in Sri Lanka" ★★★★★
"This is a very nice hotel that is light and airy, and gives you a sense of being in the country. The staff are wonderful and make the experience what it is. Breakfast and dinner are very good, although it would be great to see more variation. Dambulla town has quite limited food options, so hotels like this are often the only choice for guests. The location is good - near to Dambulla, Sigiriya and only 1.5 hours from Anuradhapura. It would be nice to go for walks near to the hotel including to the lake. It is possible but there are guard dogs for the homes on the path to the hotel which makes for a less than relaxing walk. Overall, an excellent hotel"

Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort Sigiriya ★★★★
"My partner and I recently spent a few days at Ayugiri Wellness Resort, and it was exactly what we needed. From the moment we arrived, everything felt calm, peaceful, and welcoming. The surroundings are beautiful, with plenty of nature and a relaxing atmosphere that helps you slow down and switch off from everyday life. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with a smile, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We especially loved the wellness experience, the healthy and delicious food, and the peaceful environment. It was the perfect place for us to spend quality time together, relax, and recharge. What stood out most was how genuine and caring everyone was. Nothing felt rushed, and the whole experience felt very personal and thoughtful. If you’re looking for a peaceful couples’ getaway or a wellness retreat in Sri Lanka, I would definitely recommend Ayugiri Wellness Resort. We left feeling refreshed, happy, and already talking about coming back someday. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable!"
