Horizon was by far one of our favorite accommodations in Sri Lanka. We are 2 friends and booked a quadruple bedroom, with two big double beds. The room was spacious and so was the private bathroom, which had an excellent shower with hot water. Everything impeccably clean. Breakfast was good and the family who owns the place are very friendly people. Short distance to town. WiFi wasn’t the best but that’s very common around here. Would stay again.

This was a very comfortable stay. Located in a convenient location near the main road and restaurants. The family who run this homestay are very friendly - the breakfast we had was exceptional and very generous. The room was very clean and the shower was fantastic. I highly recommend this affordable stay to anyone.

I booked the dorm room at Horizon and it was very comfortable. This is a small guest house where I had lovely chats with the owners children and tasty simple breakfasts. It's centrally located near restaurants and shops in charming Sigiriya. Very clean and tidy, great value!

I had a great stay at Horizon Hostel! My room was very nice and the owners were very kind and helpful.

Nothing!

Horizon is in a great location for everything you would want to do in Sigiriya! A quick walk to Lion’s Rock and loads of restaurants nearby but it is in a quiet garden, we saw monkeys playing while we had our breakfast! The owners are brilliant, super friendly and communicative and organised a great elephant safari for us. The room was extremely clean, the bed was comfortable and there was an air con and loads of space!

One room did not have A/C, missed that part during the booking process. So can't blame them, but just a head up.

Very friendly family owened guest house

I had such a lovely three-day stay here! The homestay has a really warm, welcoming feel — Sithu was amazing throughout, super helpful with organizing tuk-tuks, transport, and local visits. He was always checking in to make sure everything was going well. His mom was equally wonderful — she made the most delicious breakfasts every day, and even got up early to make me breakfast at 6 a.m. before I left. One small suggestion would be to add mosquito nets to the windows so they can be left open, but overall this place was such a beautiful, peaceful spot. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Sigiriya!

When people get up early for sunrise walk, it might be loud. Just ask them to keep it quiet when they do:) Hammock for chilling and enjoying the garden would be a great addition.

Mix between hostel, homestay and private rooms. Simple but super clean room and bathroom. Outside terrace for socializing. Nice garden.

There are a lot of mosquitoes in the room. The room has a mosquito net, but it is torn.

This hotel is very close to the airport. If you have a flight, you can choose this hotel. I liked this place. The staff was very good.

The staff (mother and son) were great, the location was very close to the lion rock . They arranged a tuk for us to pidurangala rock to catch the sunrise. The stay was very comfortable and the breakfast was fantastic.

Really friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way to help me: booking early morning tuk tuks for a sunrise Sigariya hike and elephant safari!

Sithu and his family were super sweet hosts! They kindly came to the airport to pick me up and made me feel at home during my stay. Their place is very well located in Sigiriya and you will get to enjoy the green atmosphere around their house and feel at peace. It also had warm shower and AC! Highly recommended!

Everything is a bit old. But I mean.. it's Sri Lanka, right? It's a bit to far to walk to the lion rock and to Pidurangala Rock.

Very sweet and welcoming family. The breakfast was really great. It was clean and the beds have been comfortable.

It would be nice if there were screens on the windows so you could open them without bugs coming in.

The room was spacious, with clean sheets and two fans. The family that owns and runs it are so sweet; they give great advice about seeing things in the area but don’t push to sell you anything you don’t want. The entrance to Sigiriya is 3 min by walking and the guesthouse is surrounded by quiet nature. Really lovely place to stay for a couple nights!

I think this is important, a trash bin inside the room esp in the toilet/bath. The son/daughter sent me a whatsapp message twice asking for a "10" rating even if I haven't checked out yet. :( I explained that i didn't appreciate that because i will decide what rating i will give. I know how important it is for them but i got pressured to doing that when I actually intend to do it. I still had a great stay thats why im giving them a 10. There was a small dead cockroach. 😅 be mindful that sri lanka has a lot of mosquitoes and good thing they have mosquito net in the private room so it wasn't a huge problem for me.

First, i'd like to commend the host family for being kind and helpful. They were always answering questions and helping me with anything I needed. They served good food for breakfast ♥️ i really liked the fact that they always serve fruits. I appreciate that. Their restaurant was great too. I had fish curry for dinner and i enjoyed that 100%! They even offered and gave me more veggies and fish. No one has ever done that before! 😅 they cook really good food 🤗 It is in a good location. Walking distance to several restaurants. Around 1-2KM walk from the entrance of lion's rock and about 3.5KM to pidurangala rock. It was lovely to walk around the area. The price was a steal and a bonus of breakfast in the morning. You can't expect an AC for the price. It was very affordable compared to the other hostels around. If you need an AC, then go somewhere else but if you want a local feels then Horizon is perfect! It feels like home because of how the hostel looks. It's more like a homestay to me. It is peaceful (so you get your peace of mind if you need it 😅). I'd definitely stay there again. I am thankful for everything. 💗💗💗 Lastly, i forgot my white shirt and i tried contacting them again and asked for a big favor of asking any guests coming to Kandy to bring my shirt. So thankful to them that i got my shirt back. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Horizon is in a very convenient location for spending time in and around Sigiriya. As soon as I arrived I was greeted with so much warmth and kindness by the host family. The family is incredibly lovely to be around and were so helpful giving me information about the area of things to do and where to go to get things, they even booked an early morning tuktuk for me to see sunrise on Pidurangala Rock. The place is very clean, has a beautiful green surrounding and it is very peaceful at night time. The breakfasts are perfect and if you eat at their restaurant out the front don’t miss the rice and curry it was so flavourful! I planned to stay 1 night and ended up staying 3. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Horizon and hope to be back again soon.
