Second time here, but if we will come to Sigiriya, definetaly to this place. .The surrounding is so beautiful, you feel as the middle of the jungle. Monkeys are watching you all the time, its funny. The rooms are superclean and comfortable. Finally the breakfast is amazing. The owner puts not only lot of food, but his heart on tge table as well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!😊😊😊

Dew ashi is a very authentic homestay which we totally loved. It is a bit out of town in a rural area, but this was not a problem as Chaaru the owner will transport you into town or sites (for a small fee) such as pidurangula or Sigirya rock if you need- he is readily contactable through WhatsApp. The room and bathroom are clean with mosquito nets on each bed. Tharu and Chaaru with their 2 young daughters made our experience extremely positive and memorable. They were warm and welcoming. We were there over the New Year celebrations which added extra cultural experiences including a traditional celebratory buffet breakfast. They provide filtered water to refill, and large delicious Sri Lankan breakfast. We also loved having a jug in our room to make tea and coffee. When we went on safari they made toasted sandwiches to take for lunch and soursop juice as a pre safari treat. Yum!! Chaaru arranged a brilliant elephant safari with his brother Patum in Hurulu eco park. This was recommended due to the recent heavy rain with elephants moving from Mineriya to this park. We were treated to many elephant sightings very close to our jeep. He seemed to know exactly where to find them. The pool was beautiful, clean with seats poolside. Tharu ran an amazing and informative cooking class and garden tour. We made using traditional techniques 6 different curries, coconut roti and coconut sambal and we feasted on this at the end. We could not recommend Dew Ashi more highly.

This lovely home stay stays in our hearts for a long time. Family was so welcoming and we helt very safe and like home while staying here. Host helped us with everything and let us have their services the whole next day after staying. She also helped us to find services that we wanted and always wanted the best quality for our money. She booked us a safari and helped to choose the best one for us Dinner and breakfast were amazing and we also got extra lunch when asked. Kids took us to see their village and garden. Those were such a lovely tours! Garden and a view were great. If you want to stay and enjoy your time with heartful family, this is the place. We would come back anytime!

We had such a wonderful stay at Yashi’s place. It was clean and comfortable. Harsha went out of his way to make our stay special and as comfortable as possible. His family was so lovely and friendly. We had a delicious dinner cooked by his wife and a scrumptious breakfast every morning. The location is perfect - a short tuktuk ride to all the main attractions (pidirungula rock and lions rock - which Harsha helped us arrange for reasonable prices) and the main strip of shops. We were delighted to catch the peacock on the roof! There are also lots of cute little squirrels on the property. An added bonus is Mr Caffeine just down the alley which has great coffee. Highly recommend staying at Yashi’s place.

Brand new treehouse with so much character. Duminda and his family are the best people you can find and they’ll not only take care of every need you have but will also make feel like part of the family too. Also you get a great view of Pidurangala and a chance for a wild elephant to wander near you (don’t worry it’s safe) I’ve been to hundreds of bnb’s and hotels and this one was definitely top 5!

Was extremely lucky to pick up this place to visit the Sigiriya area. It turned out to be one of the best stays I had ever had. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The place is new (opened one year ago) and is run by a super sweet family. It's just 2 km to Habarana railway station (pleasant walk). The room is fantastic. Beautiful, spacious, with strong AC and hot shower, it has a big patio with the lake view. The facilities on the territory are all well-designed. There is a special dining room, with filtered water supply. The first aid box and other useful things are available as well. Overall everything looks wonderfully organized and thought through. There is a garden house by the lake that you can use for working and dining, with gorgeous sunset view. The lake itself is so beautiful, with hundreds of birds. You can easily spot peacocks, storks, pelicans, and other birds. Wow. The place is away from the road, it's possible to go for a walk around the lake. The surroundings are very peaceful and close to nature. The family was extremely friendly and helpful. You can order delicious homemade food at the property. They gave me a lot of recommendations and were super attentive to my every need. At the property, you can rent a motorbike. Sigiriya, Pidurangala, Ritigala, Dambula, Kandalama, Kaludiya Pokuna all are a short and extremely pleasant ride away though jungles and rice fields. The owners also have a big tuk tuk and can give you a tour by local price. I also booked safari though them and saw around 70 elephants in Hurulu Eco Park (elephants are there in June). Overall, I was extremely happy staying in that place. Will definitely come back. Totally recommend it to everyone who wants to enjoy the best that Habarana/Sigiriya can offer.
