The family are super friendly and helpful, and serve a beautiful breakfast. Super comfy beds and mosquito nets keep you cosy at night. Lovely nature and peaceful spot. They have bicycles and it’s lovely to ride around the nearby lakes

The owner is fantastic! They are such a considerate family that run the hostel. They were so helpful with everything. They helped with our bags after checking in late, gave us juice on arrival, and arranged transport to the rock for an early morning hike. Great generous breakfast that left us full and happy. We were able to keep our bags there until our transport picked us up too. Amazing location, walking distance to the rock, great food options around for lunch and dinner. The nature surrounding was so peaceful too. The facilities were great! Amazing shower and comfy beds with mosquito nets. The best stay! I wish we could've stayed longer it was perfect! 🥰

Pidurangala Hostel stay was exceptionally wonderful. The host Ruwan and Wayne made us feel like a family. Ruwan and his wife really took care of us, they made sure we're 100% comfortable and attended to all our needs. Our host Ruwan guided and drove us to Dambulla Golden Temple. The highlight of our stay was jungle safari near Habarana. Our host Ruwan and Wayne were our safari tour guides and Ruwan drove himself throughout all places. Room service was top-notch; though our room didn't have hot shower, they took us to an upgraded room for hot shower service. The hostel area is really pretty, full of greenery, spacious and it even has a hand-made cute vintage actual tree house. The room facilities and the location is perfect value for money. Pidurangala Rock is like 15 min walking distance so it's perfect for sun-rise hiking. Ruwan drove us to Colombo as well after our stay.

The hostel was super clean, but do bring a mosquito spray – the little buggers are hungry! No fan in the room, so it got a bit spicy at night. But honestly, who cares! Oh and the WiFi? Basically non-existent. But why would you need that? Jerry is there for you and has SO MANY IDEAS what to do. I‘m sending all my friends here!!

Where do I begin? If you are reading this STOP LOOKING and BOOK RIGHT NOW!!! This is not just a hostel, it’s a live-changing experience!!! Jerry welcomed me like a long-lost friend and made me feel like royalty of Sigiriya. Jerry talks a lot – I mean A LOT – but everything is pure gold. He knows EVERYTHING and he can organize ANYTHING. Safaris? Done. Lakes? Done. Spiritual awakenings? Probably!

The owners are uniquely kind people. They make you feel at home and try to help you with everything. The location is great for Piduragala rock (10 min walk) and other attractions. The rooms are basic however well cared for and above all everything very clean.

A nice accommodation next to Pidurangala Rock, surrounded by nature, with a restaurant, Wi-Fi, and lovely hosts. There are private huts for couples or families, as well as a shared dormitory. While I did miss having a mosquito net or fan in the rooms, everything else was great. The owners are a friendly, helpful, and easygoing family who make you feel welcome. Although the breakfast wasn’t huge, it was included in the price, so no complaints. I’d recommend this hostel if you’re looking for a peaceful stay near Sigiriya.

The pidurangala rock is just about 1 km away from the hostel. The owners were very kind and guided well with the details about the area. A welcome Drink served after arrival. The breakfast served was amazing. There are bicycles available for rent aswell. A shop across to purchase essentials...

Shower pressure could be stronger.

The size of the property allowed it to feel private and relaxed, while at the same time location was perfect as it was quite central. Rooms were clean, simple and well maintained.

Location is a little far if you don’t have a vehicle of some sort to walk into town etc

Staff are so good to you, great breakfast each morning and provide plenty of suggestions on what to do whilst you are there!!

So many insects in the room... But when you're in the jungle it is like that!

Friendly and caring family, they helped me plan my stay and arrange the best deals for a safari. I had the most beautiful room I've had so far in Sri Lanka!

The dorm was quite hot but I got a ventilator and ne aware of mosquitos

Very friendly and kind family. I got really tasty Sri Lankan Breakfast and Kottu for dinner. Also, the owner took some time to drive me around with his scooter and he also dropped me off at the Pidurangala Rock for a sunrise hike. Thank you so much, I’ll come back!

If you are planning to do frequent visits to Pidurangala then this hostel is at a perfect location. You get options for hostels, Pvt rooms and tree house. Sigiriya is visible from the Tree house. Owners are very nice and they keep good care of the guests. He had given me his bicycle for a morning tour to the nearby lake and also helped me plan my further journey. I had gotten late while coming back from the rock, the family later cooked dinner specially for me. If you are someone who wants peace amidst all the chaos and are not looking for full luxury, then this is a perfect place.

Location was perfect for climbing Pidurangala, but far away from most other attractions. Host helped organise transport though, which was great! Quite noisy at night because the walls are not so thick.

Cozy rooms, super nice breakfast, staff was really nice and took us on small exciting excursions!
