Jungle Host Hostel, hotel in Sigiriya

Boasting a garden, terrace and views of garden, Jungle Host Hostel is set in Sigiriya, 5.1 km from Sigiriya Rock.

The hosts, Diwa, Chooti and Lily, make this place the best hostel in Sigiriya! They recently opened, and they're working super hard to give guests an amazing experience. They took us to a bunch of secret and beautiful spots in their tuktuk, and they're so much fun to hang out with. They even helped me get a motorbike to rent, which was not easy as everything was rented. They really go above and beyond! I loved the huts too, they're tall and well built, and the beds had mosquito nets. I had and amazing time and was hard to leave ❤️

Gamiya chill cabana, hotel in Sigiriya

Set in Sigiriya, Gamiya chill cabana has a garden, shared lounge, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property.

The welcome drink (passion fruit) was really good. Sanju was willing to accommodate my breakfast and Sri Lankan milk tea requests. The owner also runs a restaurant. That made it convenient for meals. The couple who owns the place were helpful to suggest option to visit Sigiria and do a Safari at the Minneriya National Park.

All hostels in Habarana
Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This is a lovely property in a great location for Dambulla, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa and Minneriya National Park. Lots to see and do all around here. The room was big and comfy, with great views. The staff were lovely, very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was fab and they went out of their way to accommodate my husband’s dietary needs. We also booked a safari through the hotel, this was last minute and our jeep arrived within 5 minutes. The price of the safari was cheaper than I found online too so that was a definite bonus.

    Property was a great location only around 5-10 minute walk to the centre of town and shops, staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was absolutely amazing! The food menu for dinner and lunch is also recommended and is made fresh to order and is some of the tastiest food we’ve had on our travels.

    This place is in a great location for exploring this part of Sri Lanka. It's a five-minute drive from the Minneriya National Park entrance, making early morning safaris a breeze. The staff, who are easily reachable via WhatsApp, even provide a bagged lunch for the safari.

    Our time at Dudley’s Nature Resort was one of the best parts of our trip to Sri Lanka. The hotel is beautiful and well-organized, with a fantastic breakfast each morning. Dudley arranged everything for us, including a safari in Minneriya National Park and a massage. He even drove us to our next hostel in Kandy. Highly recommend staying here.

    Great staff. Especially Roshan and Umali (cannot remember name). Nothing was too hard. Once again a place ravaged financially by Covid and other disasters. Rooms need maintenance. However great pool, food and we felt very safe. Recommended but we paid too much . I saw the place advertised for 60% cheaper locally. I don't regret staying there but don't expect too much Especially from the pictures in bookings.com

    Excellent place! The rooms are spacious, very clean and modern. The place is quiet. There are only two rooms and are fully separated so you will not get noise from next door neighbours. The balcony is very nice to to sit there and relax. The owners are very friendly. Breakfast is delicious and even too much :)! Great location! Only 5 mins walk to big supermarket and bus stops. You can take bus easily to Sigiriya or also the tuk tuk is very cheap as the rocks are close by. There are direct buses to Kandy or Anuradhapura.
