Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The property is absolutely a master piece. It is built so nicely and its very clean. The apartments built are very beautiful in a forest. You can feel yourself living in the forest. The breakfast is also very good. The pool is also an enjoyable spot. Plus their staff is very welcoming and cooperative.
The access to the property. Plus as mentioned its in the forest, you are scared of darkness in the night, as outside the room, it gets really dark.
Nos gustó todo, se trata de un alojamiento en mitad de la naturaleza. El personal fue encantador con nosotros y tanto el desayuno como la cena fueron espectaculares. Nos encantó donde está ubicado para disfrutar de la tranquilidad del lugar. Volveríamos a repetir en este lugar! 100% recomendable!
Nada, todo estuvo muy bien.
We really enjoyed our stay. The room was luxurious, comfortable and very clean, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. We also really enjoyed the additional activities offered at the property, particularly the archery and air rifle shooting, which were a fun addition to the stay and made the experience feel more than just a place to sleep.
Sigiriya town, around a 20-minute tuk-tuk ride, which was a little further out than we expected. Due to the location, there were also monkeys and other animals around, and occasionally they would run across the roof at night and wake us up, so it’s something to be aware of if you’re not comfortable around animals. The food was also fairly average, which was a little disappointing given the price of the stay, although my partner did enjoy the variety of options available at breakfast
I had a wonderful stay here. The staff were lovely and welcoming, and the location in the middle of the forest made it feel peaceful and special. Despite the secluded setting, it’s also conveniently located for the main attractions, with most places only around a 15-minute drive away. The rooms were large, clean and comfortable, with good air conditioning. There were also plenty of recreational activities to enjoy such as Table Tennis, Pool Table, Swimming Pool, Jacuzzi. The breakfast was a real highlight, especially the freshly baked warm bread and the excellent selection of Sri Lankan food. I particularly enjoyed the forest walk around the property, with a great variety of plants and a little jungle to explore. I even got to try different fruits straight from the trees! The cute little tree house was another lovely touch. Overall, a charming place to stay if you want to experience the natural beauty of Sigiriya while still being close to the attractions and having comfortable accommodation.
Our stay at the Forest Edge Hotel was absolutely spectacular. Nestled right where the lush jungle begins, the tranquility and stunning natural views are unmatched. The service was highly professional and deeply attentive throughout our visit. Waking up to the sounds of nature and relaxing by their beautiful pool made it an unforgettable getaway. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind in comfort!
Clean, quiet, good food, amazing staff
So many activities for adults and kids.
First Class accommodation in a serene setting
מיקום מעולה. מלון נהדר לשהות בו. המתקנים, החדרים, האנשים האוכל, הכל נהדר
צוות אדיב בצורה יוצאת דופן. בית מלון נקי מאוד. אוכל טעים. בריכה מושלמת ונקיה. חדר כושר מפנק ופעילויות לשעות הפנאי. פשוט ווואו
Everything from rooms to breakfast was exceptional. They even had archery and rifle shooting as well as cycling free of charge. Pool and spa/ jacuzzi facilities are very good. All staff are very helpful. Tharindu checked us in and was lovely. Oshan checked us out and wished us well for the journey. They really know how to take good care of guests!

Las instalaciones son geniales. Las habitaciones amplias, luminosas con privacidad y las limpian y reponen 2 veces al día. Pero lo mejor de todo es el equipo. Todos te reciben con una sonrisa a cualquier hora. Para nosotros lo que ha hecho que la estancia sea especial ha sido Indu. Ha sido nuestro chófer, guia local y amigo todos los días que hemos estado en el hotel. Incluso nos llevó a darnos un baño a un lago poco conocido con vista ininterrumpida de Pirundagala y Sigiriya. Teníamos el lago entero para nosotros. Y también nos ha invitado a probar comida a puestos locales donde no van extranjeros, así como nos enseñó el mercado de abastos de Dambulla y alrededores. Nos ha dado mucha pena dejar Siguiriya gracias a su atención y la de todo el hotel.
Las fotos en booking no le hacen justicia
Alles perfect
Prachtig hotel . Prima locatie Echt super lief en professioneel personeel Grote schone kamers. En een heerlijke spa
Todo, la amabilidad del personal, la facilidad para organizar las excursiones allí, nos ayudaron con todo. El entorno, la habitación preciosa, el desayuno excelente.
Fantastische accommodatie! We hebben 4 nachten genoten van het eten, zwembad, de jacuzzi en de kamer. Ze willen je altijd helpen met te plannen trips en hebben een eigen (fantastische) taxichauffeur.
Het ligt iets verder van de hoofdweg af, maar dat is geen enkel probleem tenzij je graag lopend naar Sigiriya zou willen.
חדר מקסים מרווח ונקי. צוות נפלא!!!
All the staff was super friendly and the food was delicious!
Camera molto grande e pulita Cibo ottimo (no buffet ma possibilità di scelta tra vari menu) Staff molto gentile e ci hanno regalato anche una confezione di tè tipica cingalese Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo
Forse la piscina era un po’ sporca ma abbiamo rimediato usando l’idromassaggio
La migliore struttura nel nostro tour di 14gg in SL (solo 4/5*). Camere pulitissime e dotate di ogni comfort. Comodo servizio di lavanderia. Ottimo ristorante
Leggermente più periferica rispetto ad altre strutture, ma tanto le giornate a Sigiriya e dintorni sono così impegnative che una volta rientrati non si ha la forza e voglia di uscire. Consigliato prenotare includendo la cena!
The staff at this hotel was just amazing all round. Everyone performed their duties exceptionally.
Everything was good.
Hemos disfrutado muchísimo de nuestra estancia en Sigiriya Forest. Todo ha sido excelente, desde las instalaciones hasta la comida, la ubicación y, especialmente, la atención del personal. Las habitaciones son cómodas, el entorno es precioso y permite disfrutar de la naturaleza en un ambiente tranquilo y relajante. La comida nos sorprendió muy gratamente por su calidad y variedad, y todo el equipo del hotel fue amable, atento y siempre dispuesto a ayudar, haciéndonos sentir como en casa durante toda la estancia. Además, es un lugar ideal para viajar en familia. Los niños pueden disfrutar del entorno y de las instalaciones con total tranquilidad, mientras los adultos aprovechan para descansar y desconectar. Sin duda, una experiencia fantástica que recomendaríamos a cualquier persona que visite la zona. Si volvemos a Sigiriya, repetiremos sin dudarlo. ¡Muchas gracias por todo!udarlo. ¡Muchas gracias por todo
La atención del personal, las instalaciones (piscina, jacuzzi, gimnasio, billar, ping-pong), el entorno
Están ampliando el hotel así que durante se oían ruidos de obra, pero no molestaban mucho
Le lieu est incroyable
Bellissima struttura immersa nella natura. Ristorante molto buono e personale gentilissimo e professionale
Breakfast was excellent
Las habitaciones e instalaciones son muy buenas y están súper limpias. Las sábanas y las toallas, blancas e impecables. La comida es muy buena y el personal, encantador y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Además, la ubicación es perfecta: está al lado de Lion Rock y muy cerca de la ruta del safari. ¡Una estancia totalmente recomendable!
Todo perfecto
Tutto: camera bella e spaziosa, ristorante ottimo a prezzi bassi, usata la lavanderia tutto perfetto a prezzi bassi. Personale gentilissimo.
Nulla
Magia nella foresta
We liked at lot the style and comfort of the lodges which were located in the jungle with birds, monkeys and stripped squirrels. The staff was very friendly and forthcoming! The hotel has all you need. At breakfast you can choose between different menus, fresh juice and pastries.
If we could improve something: the power of the hand shower was not sufficient.
Sehr gerne. Daraus würde ich eine sehr positive, aber trotzdem glaubwürdige Booking-/Google-Bewertung machen – gerade die Lage mitten in der Natur und die Tierbeobachtungen würde ich hervorheben. Unser Aufenthalt im Sigiriya Forest Edge war eines der absoluten Highlights unserer Reise durch Sri Lanka. Das Hotel liegt wunderschön mitten in nahezu unberührter Natur. Die nur zehn kleinen, jeweils einzeln stehenden Unterkünfte sind über Stege erreichbar und haben teilweise riesige Panoramafenster – man fühlt sich wirklich, als würde man mitten im Wald wohnen. Ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis war für uns ein Hanuman-Langur, der uns jeden Morgen vor unserem Fenster besuchte und dort längere Zeit blieb, sodass wir ihn wunderbar beobachten konnten. Auch einen Nashornvogel haben wir auf dem Gelände gesehen, dazu kleine Streifenhörnchen und unzählige verschiedene Vögel. Wer Natur und Tiere liebt, wird diesen Ort lieben. Die gesamte Anlage ist wunderschön, sehr gepflegt und ausgesprochen sauber. Unser Zimmer wurde täglich gereinigt und die kostenlose Minibar immer wieder kostenlos aufgefüllt – ein wirklich schöner Service. Ganz besonders hervorheben möchten wir die Mitarbeiter. Wirklich jeder, von der Rezeption über den Zimmerservice bis hin zum Restaurant, war unglaublich freundlich, herzlich und zuvorkommend. Auch das Essen war hervorragend – ausnahmslos jedes Gericht, das wir während unseres Aufenthalts probiert haben, war sehr lecker. Die Lage ist außerdem perfekt, um Sigiriya Lion’s Rock und Pidurangala zu besuchen. Wir haben über das Hotel sowohl den Sunrise Hike auf den Pidurangala als auch einen abendlichen Ausflug zum Dambulla Cave Temple gebucht. Beide Ausflüge waren wundervoll und bestens organisiert. Unsere Fahrer waren ausgesprochen freundlich und nach den Ausflügen wurden wir am Fahrzeug sogar mit kalten, feuchten Tüchern und gekühltem Wasser erwartet – solche kleinen Details machen den Unterschied.

מלון מדהים באמצע היער, שקט, נקי, חדרים גדולים ונוחים מאוד. צוות אדיב וקשוב ארוחת בוקר טעימה מאוד
Sa végétation et son emplacement dans la forêt. Sa taille 10 chambres. Son confort et ses équipements
Un peu à l’écart de Sigiriya et la route d’accès très étroite
Amazing stay at Sigiriya Forest Edge! Incredibly friendly staff, very clean and comfortable rooms, nice pool and good food. We were really really happy with the service, especially Indu was a great, acommodating driver, guide and friend. Highly recommend coming here for your stay in Sigiriya

Ausgezeichnetes Restaurant mit authentischen Spezialitäten
Fantastische plek om te verblijven in Sigiriya. Schitterend resort, goed verzorgd, waanzinnig ontbijt, lieve mensen, schone huisjes. Het ligt wat rustiger, maar met de tuk tuk ben je overal snel.
Posizione comoda, ottimo cibo e splendide le stanze con utilizzo del minibar incluso. Lo staff disponibile e gentile e i massaggi della spa da hotel 5 stelle. Assolutamente consigliato!
De kamers zijn fantastisch. Ontzettend groot en brandschoon. Top accommodatie op een prachtig plekje
Prachtig verblijf, dichtbij culturele uitstapjes, vriendelijk personeel en veel luxe.
we loved our rooms, very spacious and well equipped. Also the additional activities available including table tennis, pool table, hot tubs, archery and air rifle. Restaurant and bar are excellent. Brilliant place to stay
There wasnt much we didn't like, this was one of our favourite places on our trip, the only thing we could think of was a poolside bar (although the staff happily carried drinks and food down to us at the pool)
Prachtige en schone kamer. Mooie accommodatie die in de toekomst flink zal uitbreiden want er is behoorlijk wat in aanbouw. Daar merk je overigens niks van. Vriendelijk personeel
Het restaurant is wat ongezellig, binnen en met hele koude airco. Die toen we het vroegen wel warmer werd gezet.
Nous avons adoré cet hotel. Chaque villa est très confortable, parfaitement insérée dans la forêt et remarquablement bien isolée des autres. Le personnel de l'hotel est aux petits soins. La cuisine est très bonne. Une mention spéciale pour le taxi de l'hotel que nous avons utilisé pour les excursions, excellent chauffeur professionnel et incroyablement gentil.
A breathtakingly peaceful retreat tucked away in lush, beautiful greenery. The quiet atmosphere made it easy to unwind, while the top notch service made us feel completely pampered. The breakfast was phenomenal with fresh fruit and juice, various global and local breakfast options. An exceptional stay in every way, and a place we will definitely be coming back to.
Le calme, la nature, la piscine, le personnel très serviable et attentionné
We had such an amazing stay at this resort - it was the very best part of our 10-day trip to Sri Lanka. The main highlights were the friendliness of every single staff member (from the front desk to the gardeners - everyone we encountered was wonderfully attentive, helpful and professional), the delicious multi-course breakfasts and diverse dinner options, and the spotlessly clean, comfortable and thoughtfully designed property.
I loved everything about our stay - I am a picky person and can usually find something to complain about, but not at this resort. It was perfect!
Uiterst vriendelijk personeel en de huisjes zijn prachtig gelegen in de jungle, 3 meter boven de grond. Het is er rustig, met slechts 10 huisjes en toch veel personeel die je bij alles helpt. Zowel bij receptie als de keuken bekwaam, professioneel en behulpzaam, allen in strakke bedrijfskleding. Het is duidelijk een missie om de gasten te vertroetelen. Ook taxi service was perfect, mooie luxe Van. Die heeft ons ook naar volgende locatie gebracht. Veel dieren om en rond het terrein, mooie tuin.
Niets viel tegen, we werden steeds aangenaam verrast.
Een heel rustig hotel met een HEERLIJK ontbijt!! Super vriendelijk personeel. Fijn om eens te kunnen poolen, boogschieten,...
Het diner viel wat tegen. We hadden hoge verwachtingen maar neen... Niet echt lekker en kleine porties. Het was er ook allesbehalve gezellig. We misten de Sri Lankese vibe die we al heel onze reis konden ervaren.
The place is beautiful, and offers a lot for such a small pint of bungalows. The rooms are big and the beds very comfy. The pool area is relaxing and we used the gym a couple of times which was well equipped. It was lovely to sit in the jacuzzi at night and listen to all the wildlife around you. The food was the highlight..it was absolutely beautiful and so nice being served your breakfast rather than a buffet. The best food that we have had in Sri Lanka and amazing staff.

None
Staff was extremely attentive to our needs, and was very responsive and helpful with our requests. Amenities were modern and top notch. The resort had various facilities to keep the family entertained: pool, table tennis room, billiards, gym, jacuzzi, and the restaurant was air conditioned which was rare in Sri Lanka, and had a diverse local/international menu that was tasty for all the items we had in our 3 visits there.
The laundry tax was steep and not clearly disclosed until the final invoice; a clearer upfront cost would help.
Wahnsinnig schönes Hotel und sehr freundliches Personal.

Fantastische locatie middenin de jungle. De ruime kamer is voorzien van alle benodigdheden, evenals een mooie grote tv en zetel. Daarnaast is ook een gratis mini-bar voorzien die regelmatig aangevuld wordt. Ook mochten we in het restaurant genieten van uitgebreide maaltijden met een zéér ruime menukaart. Ook het personeel van het restaurant is fantastisch. Vooral Sajeewa gaf ons een fijne bediening!
De prijzen van de shuttle naar de Lion Rock is aan de hoge kant. Het aanbieden van een shuttle naar Pidurangala Rock zou ook een leuke toevoeging zijn.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was huge.
Some things could of been upgraded/replaced but nothing major
The service was outstanding! Everybody was very friendly and helpful. Excellent!!

Csodálatos lokáció, a dzsungelben van, a házak magasított beton cölöpökön állnak, csodaszép zöld környezet, a személyzet nagyon segítőkész, az ételek szuperek, tényleg magas minőségűek, Srí Lankai elváráshoz képest, tényleg 5 csillagot érdemel a szálloda. Érződik,hogy dolgoznak a színvonalon.
Annyi hátrány volt egydül,hogy éjszaka többször felébredtünk, mert a fák ágai odaverődtek a ház tetejére, és ezért zajos volt, ajánlom,hogy jobban kellene nyírni a fákat a ház teteje körül és akkor ez elkerülhető lenne. De más negatívot mondani nem tudok.
The resort is clean and nice. A little away from ella rock and sigiriya but manageable if there is a car around
The room was spacious and comfortable. Quiet environment. The staff gifted us a free set of tea which is nice. The atmosphere and setting is overall beautiful. We enjoyed our stay.
Too much food for breakfast. This is a bit wasteful because nobody eats that much. Quality of pastries is bad. No female staff either. I’d like to see more diversity. Steam room needs time to turn on and wasn’t super clean. The steam room should have hangers outside to leave towels.
You can really enjoy the peace and quiet, the staffs are very helpful and friendly, there are some activities can join, very easy to arrange.
The food quality is average
Excellent location with the friendly staff we enjoyed our stay. We would recommend bit more activities in the location to keep the guests active. The food was amazing and the staff was super helpful and accommodative to our requests. Good job
Everything! The staff, the facilities, the room
Everything about this place is simply amazing! The best hotel experience me and my family have had in Sri Lanka.
Wir waren für 3 Nächte dort und es war traumhaft. Wir haben ein Zimmer mit einer riesigen Glasfront bekommen, die uns direkt ins Grüne schauen hat lassen. Die Lage ist Paradiesisch dort. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen, da es ein wenig abgelegen war. Das Personal war sehr Nett und ist jedem Wunsch nachgekommen. Vielen lieben dank.

Wonderful Nature Stay.. We stayed at Sigiriya Forest by Marino from 3rd to 4th June with our family and had a very peaceful and relaxing experience surrounded by nature. The atmosphere was calm and refreshing, perfect for a short getaway. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Special thanks to Isuru, who was very attentive during activities like archery, air-rifle shooting, and the garden visit, making the experience even more enjoyable with great hospitality. The food was also excellent, with good quality, freshly prepared meals that we really enjoyed. Overall, a highly recommended place for a peaceful nature retreat in Sigiriya.
Da simpatia e gentileza de todos os funcionários, sempre com um sorriso nos lábios. Do lugar em si, com uma atmosfera espetacular, decoração e tudo sempre perfeitamente limpo.
Os jacuzzis estão um pouco antigos.
Stunning location...the elevated rooms are literally a part of the forest! The food was great - sumptuous breakfast and a very good choice of options in the set menu for dinner too! Very attentive and responsive staff. Other activities like the archery and rifle shooting were fun, and the outdoor jacuzzi was a great addition. Outstanding spa and the therapist was excellent!
Amazing

It was our first stay in Sri Lanka and we have to stay we were impressed. The quality in the details were impressive. Facilities felt new and comfortable. We liked to have breakfast at the villa’s terrace and night swim in warm outdoor jacuzzi. The food was also great! Very special place
The only thing that I would improve is to opt for refillable water bottles rather than plastic water bottles.
Great service , small hotel but has everything , the pool, the ping pong table, the gym - all very nice

Son como cabañas y estaba muy bien, una buena piscina y dos jacuzzis. La comida también muy buena y nos dimos unos buenos masajes. Lo recomendamos

Extremely welcoming and very helpful for any detail
Très bel hôtel avec un staff de qualité et des services irréprochables. Ma femme et moi-même avons adoré notre séjour. Nous le recommandons les yeux fermés.
Rien à signaler
Everything was great, we especially loved the breakfast but all the food we had was really good. Staff were amazing. Pool is great and we enjoyed the gym. Did the elephant safari through the hotel and it was such a great experience
Was away from anywhere, if you want to go into sigirya in the evening it is far and there are elephants on the road at night
This was such a great stay. Rooms were big, quiet, peaceful, clean and comfortable. Staff were lovely. Pool and spas + games rooms were great. Food was amazing!! Great wifi throughout the property. It is a bit out of the way but easy to get drivers to go to Sigiriya rock, Pidurangala rock, Dambulla temples etc. and the hotel has transfers for these too. They are currently building a huge extension of their hotel which I’m sure will be amazing once it’s finished!!
We probably would have bought more drinks and things by the pool if it was easier to order them or if the staff perhaps came around to take orders, rather than having to get out, get dry, and get the lift upstairs to the bar to order more. But not a huge issue!!
Everything was perfect! 100% recommendation
