Sigiriya Kingdom Resort

Sigiriya Kingdom Resort

📍 VM25+V48, Rathmalgahaela road Vihara Junction, Dambulla
★★★★ 8.0 (54 reviews)

"I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Sigiriya Kingdom Resort. I made a confirmed booking at an agreed rate, but later—especially in the middle of the night—the hotel attempted to change the price. This is unacceptable and feels highly unprofessional. A confirmed booking should be honored, not altered under pressure. What made the situation worse was the lack of proper customer support. When I raised the issue, no clear explanation or reasonable solution was provided. Instead, my time was wasted with poor communication and no accountability from the staff. This kind of behavior damages trust and creates a very negative experience for guests. Transparency and honesty are basic expectations in hospitality, and unfortunately, this hotel failed in both. I strongly urge future guests to double-check all booking details and be cautious. I also hope the management takes this seriously and improves their customer service and ethical standards. And I'm traveling from almost 400 km away from their destination. Thats how they treated me. Disappointed and unacceptable"

Sigiriya Forest Edge By Marino Leisure

Sigiriya Forest Edge By Marino Leisure

📍 Idigaswewa, Sigiriya, Dambulla
★★★★★ 9.4 (44 reviews)

"I have to say, this hotel is one of the best hotels I have stayed in in Sri Lanka. It's only been open for 3 years, so everything is new. The hotel is in the form of a tree house, which is very unique, but there is no need to worry about safety issues. There are CCTVs everywhere in the hotel, and the hotel will ensure your safety. The hotel is very private, with only ten rooms in total, so it doesn't feel crowded or noisy at all, which is very suitable for vacation. The swimming pool is also very clean and the night view is beautiful. I would recommend this hotel to any friend who is going to Sri Lanka. Although it is not the most expensive hotel in my trip, it is the best and most impressive hotel. It’s really a treasure hotel~ I hope its business will get better and better^btw The breakfast is a set menu, which is delicious and rich~"

★★★★ 8.5 (43 reviews)

"Really nice experience, the place is like a sweet dream. Rooms are confortable, as big as needed and realy clean. You will literally walking up in a small cosy jungle. Not too far from cities, walks and interesting places. Around 1h walking to the first city but every shops and sellers on the way make feels shorter. Bus and tuktuk are easy to acces and cheap. Now, the greatest point, the service. It's feel like a custom made. Each team membres doing his best to carrying. They just don't know how make you feel unique, you are unique. Cocktails and drinks are cheap and taste really good. They propose a good choise of drinks and foods, good taste and not too much. Thanks again to Gamini, Same and all team membres of carrying us and our daughter."

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve Hotels in Dambulla

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve

"Lucky enough to secure a villa with a private pool. If you’re after unwinding, relaxing and exceptionally hospitality this is the place to go. The villa was like glamping on steroids with the largest bed I think I have slept in a hotel. The shower gave the feel of being in the outdoors and the breakfast / dinner were unbelievable. I’d highly recommend booking the elephant safari from the hotel. The safari host from the hotel made the 4 hrs a very enjoyable experience - not to mention packed lunch! Our butler Prasanna topped of our stay and couldn’t do enough for us. 11 out of 10 stars"

Amaara Forest Hotel Sigiriya Hotels in Dambulla

Amaara Forest Hotel Sigiriya

"This is our second visit to this beautiful hotel. This visit is better than our first visit. Elegant rooms with a picturesque view of the surrounding greeneries. The rooms are spacious. This hotel is a merely a jungle with the chalets secluded within the forest cover. Hence ideal for nature lovers like us. The Tree Tops is fantastic there. Staff is very friendly and attentive. They trusted us and reserved a room for us during the last long weekend (when we suddenly decided to go there and despite the online payment system did not work for us to give them an advance payment). Pool is small, but clean Food is OK to good, but tasty. The final question is can we recommend this place? YES"

Freedom Village Hotels in Dambulla

Freedom Village

"An enjoyable two nights spent here. Very pleasant landscaping- trees and foliage. The rooms were roomy, comfortable with mosquito nets, tea and coffee facilities, wi fi access. Sanjeevani and her team made us the most delicious breakfasts- a wide assortment of Lankan food (stringhoppers, roti, godamba, pancake, toast, curries and sambols, fruit salad). Afternoons were spent relaxing by the pool (after climbing Dambulla and Sigiriya ) it was nice to return to a cool and quiet place. Will we return again? Absolutely. Any suggestions? Please no air fresheners in the rooms."

Supreme Dambulla Hotels in Dambulla

Supreme Dambulla

"Stayed for 1 night. The hotel is located in a section from the main road. Booked Deluxe (#101). Large and clean room with all the amenities. Comfortable bed. Had a great rest. The hotel is a villa with several rooms. There is a swimming pool in the yard, it is illuminated, so swimming in it after sunset, to the sounds of the jungle is a special pleasure. There are several tables in the yard, you can take food, drinks with you and have a great evening. Walking distance to the main street 300 meters. There is a Pizza Hut nearby with takeaway food. Special thanks to the service staff. The girl on the belt immediately responded to any requests, such a bunny. Speaks English well. There were no problems with communication. Her colleague gave us freshly squeezed juice when checking in. The only downside of the hotel is the breakfast. It is meager: literally one egg, four slices of bread and two small sausages. The Sri Lankans will probably get their fill of this, but it wasn't enough for me."

Hotel Sigiriya Hotels in Dambulla

Hotel Sigiriya

"The moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with a refreshing juice and walked us to a viewpoint — the sight of Sigiriya Rock was absolutely mesmerizing. The room is incredibly cozy with beautiful, interesting wooden decor that gives such a warm local feel. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of fresh fruit and great coffee. A perfect stay for exploring the ancient rock fortress!"

"A month at this hotel was a true fairy tale for us! We felt right at home thanks to the incredibly friendly and kind family who took care of us from the very first moment. They were also ready to help with literally everything! When we mentioned that we wanted to cook for ourselves and were looking for accommodation with a kitchen, they simply... built us a kitchen! It was incredible! We couldn't imagine that people could be so responsive. We were often treated to incredibly delicious, generous meals. Breakfasts are a special treat here: always plenty of food, fresh ingredients, and everything is incredibly delicious. You can also rent their bicycles to explore the amazing Sigiriya. It was amazing! Riding along picturesque trails amidst the wild nature was a dream! Even within the hotel grounds, you can feel a connection with nature: colorful birds sing their melodies, squirrels dart through the palm trees, and monitor lizards leisurely wander through the bushes – true harmony with nature. We left with a heavy heart, as this place became our home for a whole month. We recommend it to anyone seeking warm hospitality, comfort, and a connection with nature. Don't hesitate – this hotel is definitely worth your consideration!"

Serenity Sigiri Resort Hotels in Dambulla

Serenity Sigiri Resort

"One of the best hotels I lived in Sri Lanka, running by a local family. They are very nice and hospitable and even provided very delicious local breakfast with wild honey and welcome coconut water. The room was a quite big with high ceiling, clean and all the stuffs were available. The hotel is in the closest location to climb the rock mountain called Pidurangala to view panorama view of Sigiri and sunrise and sunset and very close to Sigiri Lion Rock as well. The hotel can provide car and jeep services. Jeep safari to see a herd and other wild animals were quite an experience to feel the wilderness and nature. This hotel is 100% recommended when you are in Sigiriya. If you need a car service for city to city travel, here is the service provider, called Danu and his contact number is (0774) 642 805. He is a nice and humble guy with certified local guide. We got his service from Sigiriya to Kandy to Yalla to Colombo, the trip went very smooth and we are happy that we covered all the attractions places with his assistance. Highly recommended!!"

Sigiriya Rock Gate Resort Hotels in Dambulla

Sigiriya Rock Gate Resort

"This is not a resort, when I arrived young girl practically ignored me, then pointed to a book to fill out and just walked away without telling me room number, facilities or any info. Room very good size and great working aircon, in bathroom no hot water or couldn’t figure out how to use the thing, either way had to take a cold shower. Next day when leaving was told about the lookout to rock fortress at back of property, very nice views, something that you would think the girl would be selling on arrival as a plus to staying in venue!"

The Paradise Dambulla ★★★★★
"I stayed at Paradise Dambulla for one full week, and honestly, I can say this property’s biggest strength is its people. I have travelled quite a bit, but the warmth, kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care shown by the staff here is something very special. It never felt artificial or forced. Every single day, the team made the experience comfortable, relaxing, and memorable. Special thanks to Nikesha, Waruna, and Feros from the Front Office Department, Tharusha from Housekeeping, and the amazing F&B team including Damith, Lahiru, Thanuja and Dhanushka. Each of them created such a positive impression during my stay. A very special mention must go to Ranga, the F&B Manager. He is truly an asset to the hotel. Had a lovely small talk. An all rounder, highly professional, always attentive, and at the same time a genuinely kind gentleman who seems to support every department whenever needed. You can clearly see the teamwork among the staff, and I believe that is one of the main success stories behind this hotel. The rooms were excellent, the atmosphere peaceful, and the location itself is beautiful and relaxing. During the entire week, I genuinely could not point out a single bad experience. Paradise Dambulla should be proud of its people because they are the real highlight of this property and the reason guests will return again and again. Most definitely visiting again soon. Highly recommended!"

"The service attitude of the store is very good (it should be a store independently operated by the owner). After arriving at the store, I was given a glass of watermelon juice (free). There is a small terrace outside the room. The most abundant thing is breakfast. The photos and scenes on Ctrip have a relatively high degree of restoration."

"The first picture shows the bathroom when we entered the hotel room. I had to ask the staff to refill our shampoo and shower gel multiple times. The following pictures show the restaurant. We stayed for four nights and five days, and the breakfast was exactly the same every day. My child felt nauseous on the last day. The water in the kettle for making coffee at the breakfast buffet was cold, and the staff told me to scoop coffee grounds from an almost empty container and make my own. I have to conclude that none of the dozen or so hotel staff members possessed basic service etiquette. We had to repeatedly ask the front desk to clean our room or change our towels, making our stay extremely uncomfortable. I give this hotel a very negative review!"

"The wooden house is located next to the national park. The facilities are very new, the room is large, the green landscape is very good, but there are no mosquitoes. The restaurant has rich and delicious breakfast and dinner, and the service is good. It is very close to the Lion Rock Scenic Area, which is convenient for watching the sunrise and sunset. The hotel can also arrange pick-up"

"We spent here 2 nights during our group tour. Place is wonderful and set in a picturesque gardens overlooking rice fields. You could hear noises of peacocks in the morning. The swimming pool is deep enough to have a good swim and there are plenty of sun lounges for everyone to enjoy. The room was very spacious and clean. Staff is lovely and helpful. We had a dinner here one night. Menu was limited. Curry originally only available at lunchtime but we asked to cook it in the evening. It was very tasty and cooked fresh for us. Would highly recommended"
