Beautiful hotel, lovely room, excellent swimming pool, and some of the best Sri Lankan food I could expect in the buffet breakfast and dinner. Plus very friendly staff that even remembered me. That special touch.

The property location is magnificent with a view of Lion Rock from the pool and bar area. The staff were friendly and accommodating though the long shifts can leave some of the team needing a rest and possibly a shower and some clean clothes! The rooms are not new and the water pressure is not the best but overall the room served its function.

These are cottages in 25 acres of woodland. The staff are very helpful and pleasant but have trouble keeping up at busy meal times. They look tired by the end of the day! The cottages are fine, but a bit old and rustic. There is plenty of space and they are clean. No safes, only one room key, bit noisy fans and a.c. . Really a tour stop location. Need transport as it is near nothing but Lion Rock.

The tiara topped it off
With well maintained and mature grounds an open and airy reception/bar/restaurant area going onto a pool which is clean and offers midday shade Siguria village is a lovely environment to relax for a few days. We watched troupes of Langur and macaque browsing the trees, listened to all sorts of bird calls and enjoyed to dry off after the pool with our local turtle neighbor. The staff are well trained and attentive without being overbearing, special mention to Anjula the barman who mixes great cocktails. The breakfasts are delicious, some of the best Dahl we have had in Sri Lanka and on leaving we were wished a long and happy life by a man with a long grey beard and golden tiara. All in all a great stay.

Great location and good hotel
A very good hotel, the new rooms are fine, maybe the old reviews are for the dated rooms. Staff are friendly and very good at their job, most welcoming. The location is perfect right in a forest. Great pool with a view of The Lion Rock .

Unprofessional restaurant captain
The hotel overall was nice in general, our only bad experience was with the Restaurant captain named Bandara. He asked elderly with walking stick and wheelchair took a table far from the food counter, after I made a seriously complaint, he rearranged us to be more closer to the food counter given the restaurant was 90% empty. I recommended him for further customer service training course.

The service at the hotel was good. The hotel rooms are getting a bit tired. Unlike other hotels we stayed at, there wasn’t a safe or internet in the rooms. The internet at reception was very slow are hardly useable. We didn’t like it that the best seating in the restaurant, which was along the side by the pool, was allocated to groups. That seating had better ventilation and was lighter but you could only sit there if you were with a group. Meals and drinks were reasonably expensive. The beds were very uncomfortable and consisted of a 5” thick foam mattress on a wooden base. My back is still sore. There were not enough sun beds for the number of guests. I don’t know how many rooms are at the hotel but there seemed to be a lot of people staying there and there were only 20 sun beds.

Proximity to sigiriya rock was great. Room had some issue so: fridge not working unless key is in the power slot... spoilt the anniversary cake they got us ( which was nice of them to do); power to our room went out and we had to get sorted to go out in the dark. I guess it was overpriced for the experience we had

comfortable place
--spacious, really comfortable room --room smells a bit musty, but it's not bothersome once you stay in the room --hot shower with good water pressure --nice ayurvedic treatment center --the popular dinner option is a buffet --easy to walk to Sigiriya rock from the hotel (15-20 minute walk) --there is no wifi in the room --staff at the reception desk were great --some of the other staff didn't really seem to know what they were doing. I will give an example. This is a small thing, and it's not that important, but it struck me as so strange, that I wanted to share it. The pool has deck chairs, but they are not ready for guests to lie down on them, in the sense that they don't have pads/cushions on them. You have to ask the pool boy to bring one out for you (and when you leave the pool area, he will remove it). This already is strange. Why aren't the chairs already prepared for new guests? But what I found even stranger was that you really have to ask for one. It's not enough for you to make eye contact with, and say hello to, the pool boy while you are sitting on the chair. If you want a pad, you actually have to ask him. Maybe it doesn't go without saying that sitting on a deck chair without a pad is not particularly comfortable.

This was my second time to Sigiriya village and things have gone down hill since my last one. The property is old...and you see it everywhere. The staff although friendly are just soooo slow to respond to any request. When we checked in the room did not have towels, and it took one hour to get towels (after 3 phone calls). The hotel needs a face lift... until that happens I will not be returning. Sad, because it used to be one of the best in the Sigiriya area.

Hotel was in a great location for climbing Sigiriya. Room was lovely. We would stay here again. Only issue we had was we got the wrong cocktails a few times but not the end of the world as we understand Sri Lanka doesn't not have a drinking culture like we are used to. Would gladly stay her again.

They had another WIFI which you only got if you asked....didn't make sense at all. Hotel staff were disappointing. Only seemed interested in serving Westerners.....One restaurant staff was outwardly rude and only stopped at manager intervention.

Nice hotel but food could be better
Lovely 1 night stay. Sigiriya Village is a perfect spot from which to see Lion Rock. Rooms are nice and comfortable and the hotel is nicely laid out with lots of outdoor space and a pool with a view of the rock. Food was a little disappointing and did seem overpriced. Would suggest going up the road to organise a taxi or tuk tuk - hotel prices are ridiculously marked up.

Final Stop
We stayed at Sigiriya Village for our final stop following a whirlwind 7 day trek around Sri Lanka. We decided to skip the climb up Lion Rock to spend a bit more time at the hotel and unwind. The staff at the pool and bar were very nice and engaged in conversation. Check in staff and porters were also very kind and made us feel welcome. The staff also prepared three breakfast boxes for us as we needed to depart at 05:00 AM the next morning. That was a nice touch. The rooms are a bit tired but if you're not too fussy like us, this place is actually quite nice. I'd recommend it for anyone in the area. Great view of Sigiria Rock from the pool area. There are a lot of tour groups that come through the hotel. That can be a bit off-putting but the place clears out completely after dinner service. We're pleased with our overall experience, thank you!

This place is amazing and very close to the Sigirya rock. The rooms are cottage style, so you feel like you are in the jungle. It's peaceful and quiet. The room is a little dated and not that clean. The restaurant is overpriced, but overall good quality.

Beware- Hidden Fees and Rude Staff
I booked a double room online. Upon arrival I was told this room cannot accommodate two adults and I needed to upgrade rooms which I did. The staff promised with this upgrade, meals would be included. Before eating I also double checked and was ensured it was inclusive of my room. When I came to check out, I found they had actually billed me for the meals. Upon questioning the staff about these costs, the staff were very rude and acted unprofessionally, with one staffing member resorting to name calling. Rooms themselves are average- what you will get from a budget hotel in a western country. Please be careful with this hotel, having stayed there, I would not recommend and would urge travellers to seek elsewhere and book this as a last resort.

Great stay but poor food
Sigiriya village ia a beautiful spot with friendly helpful staff. Our only disappointment was the food which we found overpriced and of lesser quality than what we had experienced elsewhere in Sri Lanka. As vegetarians we would strongly recommend avoiding the buffet dinner as the a la Carte proved greater value for money and was tastier and hot! Otherwise I would recommend this hotel and its great location.

Hotel in the nature
Nice hotel if you are going to climb sigiriya rock, less than 5 min driving. You should remember you are in nature invairoment so ants or lizard in the room are not big deal. Dinner is good but for my opinion breakfast could be better.
