Costa was one of the best hosts ever! A rustic tucked away little space in Sigiriya. Costa took us to some amazing hidden spots and helped us through booking a scooty and getting everything sorted. Loved our stay here. Super cheap laundry too!

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 ❤️

I absolutely loved my stay here! A real highlight of my rime in sri lanka! The family was so welcoming and would have done anything for you. They showed me around the village, booked my elephant safari, and even taught me how to cook sri lankan food in the new kitchen!

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.

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.

    Beautiful property in a serene setting. I felt a calmness come over me as soon as I arrived having initially been a bit nervous as a first time solo traveller. Every staff member is kind and attentive, often suggesting additions to your travel route or tips for making life a little easier! Roy and Roshun are open to suggestions and are actively trying to make this the best hostel

    The location is great, near restaurants and main attractions of Sigiriya. The place is safe and the owner was very kind. He came everyday to see us and made sure we got evertyhing we need. He helped us booking safari and it was cheaper than on internet. His driver was excellent. On check out day, we were supposed to take train. Due to strike, no train. He took 5 hrs of his time to drove us at the new destination. Thank you so much !!!!!

    Service was exceptional- the owner even gave me a lift to an ATM and helped arrange transport. Breakfast was alright too. The overall vibe is very nice and it’s close to a big hostel that has a bar and organises cheap excursions you can join. Location is a bit far from everything - but if you know that before coming it’s fine. Also had dinner at the restaurant. Food was alright but waiting time quite long.

    The common area is very well put together, gives homie-vibes and it's very prone to meet other travelers in the hostel. The staff of the hostel, also, promote a good integration for everybody, organizing certain activities in group that everyone can participate in, like going to the lake, watching sunset in a secret place or doing BBQ Best hostel for backpackers and solo travelers no doubt Ah, and the food is amazing. Excellent really

    Just perfect - Roy has been able to build this amazing backpackers heaven offering different activities, family dinners all to produce a form of community! It is obviously not the cheapest hostel you can find but to be honest, it is completely worth it: the beds are extremely confortable, and Roy and his team will usually go out of their way so that you have a pleasant stay ❤️ I can’t thank them enough for this really great stay
