+Sigiriya Cottage is a lovely, small and serene hotel with a beautiful garden and pool. The room was simple, neat and clean, with a terrace overlooking the garden, and was equipped with air conditioning. The owner and manager, Sanji, was very welcoming and accommodating, and gave us some excellent advice on things to do in the area. The hotel staff are all very friendly and courteous. Breakfast was excellent, with a variety of Sri Lankan dishes, and was served in the garden in a peaceful atmosphere. Everything is run smoothly, with real attention to the guests. We highly recommend it.

+Lovely and peaceful, big garden with chairs and a swimming pool. Basic rooms with everything you need, including nice balcony. Location is perfect, just off the main road but very close to Sigiriya rock. The owner is very friendly and happy to help arranging any excursion.

“The highlight of our trip”
+The care and attention of Sanjay, the owner, is well above the norm. He advised on our side trips and arranged drivers on our behalf. He also displays genuine care for his staff.
−This was very nearly perfect. Two areas where I could suggest improvements are 1) better bedside lights (for reading) and 2) dining tables that are all the same height

+Outside of the beautiful location, the lovely staff, who were all very kind and helpful and the wonderful surroundings with lots to see and do, the coffee at breakfast was outstanding and the best we had in Sri Lanka. The owner was very helpful and honest and thought along with everything we wanted to do. We would highly recommend a stay here, and we'll definitely come back when we are in the area again.

“We highly recommend every should stay at the Sigiriya Cottage!”
+We absolutely loved our stay at Sigiriya Cottage! Beautiful accomodation. Very clean. Great food and exceptional service. We cannot thank Sanji and his team enough! Sanji assisted us in booking our tours and ensured we had everything we needed for a great stay. Due to impacted travel we ended up arriving to the accomodation at 630am instead of check in at 2pm, Sanji was very accomodating and assisted us with an early check in and looked after us had a long travel day to get there. We would also like to thank our safari jeep driver Thillani - he was very knowledgeable and a great driver.
−Nothing. Everything was fantastic

“Fint sted”
+Venligt og hjælpsom personale og morgenmaden var skøn. Vi sov dejligt i behagelig seng. Aircondition, viften i loftet og varmt vand i hanen - alt fungerede.
−Prisen var måske lidt for høj.

“פשוט מחמם את הלב! אין אנשים טובים כאלו! בהחלט היינו חוזרים שוב!”
+בעלי המקום סאנג׳י המקסים והצוות הפשוט טוב לב שלו עזרו לנו בהכל- החל ממטריה, מציאת מסעדות, מציאת מסאז׳ ותכנון טיולי יום בעיר ועד לשינוי טוטאלי של המשך הטיול שלנו, המלצות על התנהלות במקום, התנהלות כלכלית ובכלל על החיים המודרניים ועל רוח🧘🏽♀️☯️ הליכה מאוד יפה לאגם מסביב, שירותים נלווים חינמיים כמו משקפי צלילה , אופניים , משחק שולחן מקומי, חדר כושר.בהחלט ממליצים! ארוחת בוקר נהדרת, שירותי ניקיון לחדרים! היינו חוזרים שוב ללא ספק!
−כיוון ששהינו בג׳ןנגל- בלילה מגיעים חרקים ( יתושים וכדומה ) לאזור מואר משמע החדר. יש לציין כי ניקו לנו את החדר על בסיס יומי לבקשתנו 🙏🏽 כמו כן , חשוב לומר שהקליטה באזור לא טובה והוויפיי הוא באזור ארוחת הבוקר והבריכה (לא בחדרים). צריך רק להיערך לכך מלבד זאת- שהות מדהימה ואנשים מדהימים, אוכל טעים כל כך ואווירה טובה !

+Un fijo en la quiniela. La amabilidad y saber estar de "Xanti" el dueño, las camareras, el portero que te lleva las maletas, el restaurante, su gimnasio, el slack line, la piscina, las vistas, la ubicación para visitar Lions Rock, Pidurangala... No lo dudeis.
