There is nothing we did not like

The hotel was a delightful experience in every way! The service was top-notch, the staff greeted us with genuine warmth, the views were simply breathtaking, and every little detail added a touch of magic to our stay.

Relatively high prices at the restaurant

An extraordinary location and exceptional staff. The staff was very helpful booking a safari or a trip to any of the attractions (for good prices). The location is breathtaking. The lake at the resort offers ample opportunities to spot birds. The first two days there even was an elephant, which also attracted the attention of the locals. The Sri Lankan breakfast was very good and pleasantly surprising.

Sigiriya Kings Resort was one of the highlights of our 10 days in Sri Lanka. Perfectly located just a short drive from Lions Rock, yet hidden in a peaceful, green setting, it felt like a true escape into nature. Our room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully styled, blending comfort with local charm, and having our own private pool was such a luxury. The food was the real star — fresh, flavourful Sri Lankan dishes cooked to perfection and served with such care that every meal felt special. The staff were exceptional too — warm, welcoming, and always ready to help — making our stay unforgettable. And our final breakfast in The Nest, after an early morning hike, was an absolute highlight — the perfect ending to our time there.

It looked a little run down on arrival.

This serene hotel has views of Lions Rock and Pidaurangala exceeded our expectations. Our room was clean, tidy and well appointed. The pool was a welcomed relief after a long day of traveling and the restaurant is exceptional. We ordered the Ambula rice and curry which was an experience to behold. The presentation was next level and the taste was amazing! The breakfast we had the next morning was one of the best we’ve had at hotels around the world.

A Truly Outstanding Stay – 5 Stars - more if we could! From the moment we arrived, this hotel exceeded all expectations. Set in a serene and exclusive location by a lake, it offers stunning views of the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site Lion Rock and Pidurangala. They are in fact both walking distance from the hotel. The spacious rooms are immaculately maintained, complete with thoughtful touches like tea, coffee, and biscuits. The outside patio area which looks out onto Lion Rock and Pidurangala was lovely to sit out in the evening after a dip in the pool. The grounds are rich with wildlife and a wild elephant even showed up one evening. The food can only be described as outstanding. The hotel grows fresh produce itself and even has its own paddy field. Breakfast every morning was enough to set you up for the day and was beautifully presented with a wide selection. After ordering the Lagoon Crab curry on our first night we decided to eat at the hotel every evening. The quality of the food cannot be underestimated and we felt it was excellent value for what we received. A highlight was the chef personally appearing in the dining room to present a special Sri Lankan curry - Ambula. It was a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach – a lovely personal touch! What truly sets this hotel apart, though, is the staff. Warm, genuinely friendly, and endlessly attentive, they go out of their way to ensure every detail is perfect. Nothing is too much trouble. The owner of the hotel is highly visible and always on hand to chat and make sure you are enjoying your stay. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

It’s perfect- please don’t change

Truly immersed in nature with all the creature comforts of home. Rooms are large and comfortable, the kitchen provides culinary enlightenment and the staff exceed any Michelin experience I’ve had in terms of their ability to present dishes, engage with their guests and provide a level of warmth that I’ve not encountered elsewhere, even in Sri Lanka where outstanding hospitality is the norm This is truly special place- huge thanks to Samantha and Sumith who are treasures we were lucky to spend our meals with and to Sandun who handled check in.out and every want/need in between

We couldn't think of anything we didn't like.

Fantastic service by all staff. The resturant and bar staff were truly outstanding. The location was tranquil and serene, and in close proximity to the two rocks.

It is perfect

A Hidden Gem Near Sigiriya Rock! I had an unforgettable stay at Sigiriya Kings Resort! The location is perfect — just a short drive from the iconic Sigiriya Rock, yet tucked away in a peaceful, green setting that feels like a true escape into nature. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed with a blend of comfort and local charm. I especially loved waking up to the sounds of birds and enjoying coffee on the private balcony with views of the lush surroundings. What really made the experience stand out was the hospitality. The staff went above and beyond — warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. They helped us arrange a safari and even gave tips for local hidden spots to explore. The pool was a huge bonus after a day of climbing and exploring — clean, quiet, and surrounded by greenery. And the food? Absolutely delicious! Fresh, flavorful Sri Lankan dishes served with care. Highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Sigiriya. It’s not just a stay, it’s an experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Nothing not to like it was amazing!

Everything about this hotel was amazing, the location with its stunning views of the Lions Rock and the nearby rock (sorry can’t recall its name) both within walking distance. The staff, nothing was too much and they made you feel so welcome. The food was amazing, especially the Sri Lanka breakfast. Our room was beautifully clean, spacious and quiet. We only stayed for 2 nights, but wish we had stayed for more at this amazing hotel, would highly recommend a stay if visiting Sigiriya and you want a real treat.

Everything during our stay was really great. Very comfortable room and an amazing restaurant, best food we had in Sri Lanka so far. The staff is very friendly and helpful which really made our stay extra special. Would really recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to spend time in Sigriya. Another plus is that it’s right in front of the lion rock and the view is amazing.

Absolutely spectacular view of both Pidarangala and Sigiriya from the room and the pool. Food in the restaurant was expensive but some of the best we have had in Sri Lanka. Most of the food is grown at the hotel including the rice. They have pet guinea fowl roaming the ground which are very entertaining to watch. There is a lake adjacent to the hotel which is very pleasant to view and watch some wildlife. The room was fantastic and we were given very delicious biscuits with the standard coffees and teas in the room. They provided a delicious welcome drink on arrival. Several plugs and chargers were left in the room in case you forget any. Insect repellant was also provided in the room. Staff were very friendly and helpful without being overbearing. We arranged a reasonably priced tuktuk through them to take us to Pidarangala for sunrise, which we absolutely recommend doing for spectacular views and avoiding the heat of the day. We only wished we had stayed there for a second night as we would have liked to have explored Sigiriya in the early morning and spent more time there to take everything in when it wasn’t so hot. The best hotel we stayed at during our time in Sri Lanka.

Location was amazing, staff were very helpful and accommodating. Food was excellent. Recommend the ordering Sri Lankan breakfast and the lagoon crab curry. The team organised us tuk tuks and one of their team drove to our next destination and took us to the Dambulla cave temple. They collected us from Colombo International Airport also. Everyone was extremely friendly. The ground and the pool were kept meticulously. Only 9 rooms, so very quiet and tranquil. Lots of wildlife around the lake and grounds, including cormorants and pet guinea fowl. Would definitely recommend staying here for a relaxing couple of nights in the jungle next door to Sigiriya rock and Pidurangala rock.
