Nothing - it was 100% excellent

This accomodation was excellent. Comfortable bed, big room and big bathroom, perfect breakfasts and most importanly - the best host you can possibly imagine. Not only he was very friendly but also very helpful. He gave us valuable tips and even took us in his tuktuk to some places. I must say, should i ever come back to Sigiriya, i would seek this accommodation again. Totaly recommended!

We enjoyed a lovely stay here. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. Every aspect of the homestay is authentic. The family is so kind and will help you with anything from their heart. The breakfast was lovely and included traditional foods. The dinner was spectacular. Best food we had in Sri Lanka. It is a must try! The room is large, clean, and has everything you need. The location is perfect to visit Lion Rock. The hosts can also take you for the sunrise view with their Tuktuk. 100% will come back in the future. Thanks for a lovely time in Sigiriya!

The family at this homestay were very helpful and friendly. We got breakfast every morning and we had dinner here one night and it was amazing. So tasty. They also had a tuk tuk and dropped us wherever we wanted when we needed it. Would definitely recommend

Nothing it was perfect

The BEST stay in Sri Lanka! The family are so welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was out of this world. So special to try so many different Sri Lankan food options, we were truly spoilt! The room was great, spacious and so clean. The bathroom was massive and had a good shower. The bed was comfortable and the aircon was fantastic too. We really appreciated the decorations for our honeymoon stay. What sets this stay apart from others is how welcomed we felt. Chaminda was always around to answer questions, organised a safari for us and even took us to a local shop in his tuktuk. It’s the perfect location, lots of restaurants and shops nearby within walking distance. Super close to Lion’s Rock too. We would really recommend the Safari jeep tour with Tharanga (Kindly organised by Chaminda) we had a private tour of Eco park and saw so many elephants it was incredible! For a really great price too. Tharanga was lovely and knew exactly where to go to see the elephants, he also kept his distance which we appreciated. All in all, this was our favourite stay in this amazing country and we can’t recommend it enough!

Not having a longer stay!

The most incredible stay in Sigiriya. The accomodation is clean, comfortable and the bathroom is fantastic. The family are super friendly and made us feel at home from the first moment. We did a cooking class and Chaminda drove us to Dambulla to visit the temple. It has been our highlight of our stay in Sri Lanka. A must visit.

The host and his family were very welcoming and helpful with information and with taking you to the sites around. Breakfast was delicious with some dishes I hadn’t had before. The location is incredible, not far from Lions Rock and plenty of restaurants around close by. The room was impeccably clean and spacious. All around an amazing 2 night stay.

Only staying for 2 nights. I would love to stay longer next time!

Stay at Sashini Homestay if you want an authentic experience and a chance to meet the loveliest family. Chaminder and his family are so friendly and welcoming. The property is super centrally located - opposite major restaurants and walking distance from sigriya rock. Chaminder has a tuk tuk and can arrange trips to Pidurangala and Dambulla for great prices. His wife makes the most amazing food and I’d recommend trying her rice and curry. This was hands down the best breakfast i had in all of Sri Lanka - with different options every morning and a chance to try different delicacies. There is only 1 room available so dont hesitate to book!

The homestay is new with a huge bathroom. This place was very clean, we really enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect, close to all the sights and also a lot of restaurants and cafes in walking distance. The breakfast was soooo good and so much different sri lankan specialties :) also the curry we had for dinner was homemade with special flavors and taste. It was not my first time in Sri Lanka but this is really the best curry I ever had. Also the host family is so nice and thank you for playing with our two year old. He loved your baby cat so much

Words cannot describe how special this home stay is. It is so affordable, comfortable and spotlessly clean and the location is perfect with restaurants at your doorstep and a view of Sigirya rock just outside the property. But the best part of this accomodation is the host family, who do everything to make your stay perfect and with genuine care. We also did a cooking class with mum and grandma which was so interesting and many laughs and the breakfasts were the best we’ve ever had. At the end we were so sad to leave but hope to return one day to stay again as we feel like family members. Thank you to Saji, your wife, parents and beautiful daughters for our amazing memories of Sri Lanka.

Adorable family, good exchanges and advice for organizing visits. The best room and bathroom in terms of comfort, equipment and cleanliness that we have. Dinner and breakfast are there for quality and quantity. I recommend.!

We enjoyed our 1 night stay here! Chaminda and his family were friendly, helpful, and hospitable. The room was of a good size for the two of us, very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The shower pressure and hot water were acceptable. It was walking distance to Lion Rock and I also liked that Chaminda shared about the other tours or rides that he can offer (he has a tuktuk) without being pushy, and he gave us complimentary rides a couple of times too. They also provided us with a superb breakfast which included some traditional Sri Lankan food. Do note that they have a dog (which was chained) and a kitten. There were a few mosquitoes and flies in the room (quite typical in Sri Lanka) but after awhile, they were gone (might have been due to the electric pest repellent). And they didn’t bother us at all. There’s also a mosquito net that can be used to cover the bed but we didn’t have to use that. We would stay here again!
