La piscina y el desayuno.
Que me dieron un precio para driver que después no se correspondía.
Preis Leistung sehr gut. Haben kostenlos zusätzliche Poolhandtücher bekommen :) Pool mit schönem Ausblick und gepflegt.
The rooms are very good and the location close to the lion rock
Big room
Average shower
Owner and the staff were friendly and felt like at home
Bathrooms were clean but not up to my expectations.
מיטות נוחות, אף שאחת מהן חרקה.
מיזוג האוויר בינוני.
Location was superb for the price we paid and property has a very good rooftop above the stay so you can see the surrounding and view of Sigiriya Rock
I had such a lovely stay here in Sigiriya. The hotel is run by a wonderful, welcoming family who are always happy to help with anything you need, from local recommendations to arranging activities or transport. The view from the room and terrace is absolutely amazing, especially with Sigiriya Rock in the background, and it’s such a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the surroundings. The room itself was also comfortable and had everything I needed for my stay. A really warm, friendly place with beautiful views and lovely hosts. I would definitely recommend it if you’re staying in Sigiriya!
Nothing, everything was great!
The location was great close to the town.
The sheets were scratchy, the room was never cleaned, we kept having to ask for toilet paper, the aircon struggled, none of the bedside lights worked. Bath mat was filthy. Construction going on.
Το δωμάτιο ήταν πεντακάθαρο, το προσωπικό φιλικό και η θέα ειδικά απο το roof φανταστική! Το πρωινό πολυ νόστιμο!
Αξιζε τα χρήματά του, αλλα οι οικονομικές διάφορες με τα αλλα καταλύματα στην περιοχη ήταν πολυ μεγάλες.
Posizione perfetta vicino alla Rocca, vista della Rocca dalla terrazza. Camera abbastanza pulita, staff gentile, colazione passabile. Alla fine per il prezzo forse ci sta, SE la camera non è ammuffita.
L'ultima camera in fondo al secondo piano ha i muri totalmente ammuffiti, l'aria all'interno è assolutamente insalubre, ho fatto fatica a dormire per la puzza di muffa e non si può tenere niente aperto perché pieno di zanzare. Qualcosa ha morso mio marito nella notte. Il bagno è improponibile, la doccia in mezzo alla stanza allaga tutto e l'acqua era solo fredda. Alla seconda notte siamo scappati in struttura migliore!
Staff were so lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. The lady offered to do our laundry for free and also offered my partner a free meal due to not having his first choice available (we paid of course). But this was the kindest gesture. The room was basic but clean and the lookout had a stunning view of the lions rock!!! Also good AC! And very good for the price

Wasn’t clean
Lovely, kind, helpful hosts who went out of their way to help us. They helped us with trips to Polonnaruwa, Dambulla caves & also with our onward travel. Beautiful location, fabulous views of Sigiriya Rock from the balcony & a lovely outlook from the dining area. Delicious & substantial breakfast.
The room was in need of a little attention. The bathroom flooded every time we used the shower, the bedside lamps & rugs were stained. The bed however was comfortable, the balcony was lovely & we enjoyed our stay. Just a few changes & it would be perfect.
חדר גדול ומרווח, שירות מצוין סייעו לנו להעלות את המזוודות למעלה ולמטה במדרגות, מיקום מצוין ממש 2 דק מהרחוב הראשי
מזגן די חלש והיה צורך גם במאוורר בשביל שיהיה נעים
Bardzo ładny i przyjemny obiekt. Pokoje bardzo przestronne i wygodne. Bardzo dobra lokalizacja. Świetne miejsce na śniadanie z widokiem na Lwią Skalę.
Het uitzicht op de rots is geweldig en de upgrade meer dan waard. De (jonge) eigenaars zijn een stel die (hoewel nog een hoop te leren) met deze plek goud in handen hebben en hun best doen om er wat van te maken. Het hotel bezit enorm veel potentie om uit te groeien tot een van de succesvolle hotels aldaar, maar dan moet er wel nog veel veranderen. Ze regelen zelf ook excursies, die erg leuk zijn! Ontbijt was erg lekker.
Er zit zo veel potentie in dit hotel door de locatie en wat er aanwezig is, dat het enorm zonde is dat dit niet wordt benut en dat merk je. Zo wordt ontbijt wel boven geserveerd op het dakterras met uitzicht, maar is er niemand als je daar aankomt, en is er ook geen aankleding die er iets sfeervols van maakt. Personeel was sowieso vrij onzichtbaar, zowel bij receptie als dakterras als bar, maar je krijgt een telefoonnummer om mee te appen als je iets wil. Het voelde meer aan als een motel dan een hotel. De kamer zelf was niet schoon en had allemaal kieren waardoor o.a. hagedissen en kakkerlakken in de kamer te vinden waren. De airco deed het niet goed, was inconsistent en blies vaker warme lucht dan koude lucht.
Habitación cómoda. No tiene grandes lujos
Cama dura
Wspaniała obsługa, gotowa do pomocy. Przepiękny taras widokowy, gdzie mozna zjeść lunch lub sniadanko z widokiem na lion's rock. Polecam!
The only plus was the location of the stay, where you can get to lions rock in just over 5 mins.
The staff were a bit negligent and we had to ask for every detail. The host had his own private party going on and had all the staff at the party. I had to personally run up and down to ask them for things. Also the place has bad power issues. Current keeps going on the middle of the night and when asked about it, the drunk host replied in a rude way saying "I don't charge you enough to have a generator running". Yes! I did choose the basic room, but that doesn't mean we get treated in a different way to other guests that choose their costlier options. Since the time I booked, they have been stressing on the point that it is a basic room and asked me to upgrade via chat. If this is what they have to offer to the guests choosing the basic room, then I guess they should mention that in their rooms description as well saying "BASIC ROOM - BASIC AMENITIES + BAD SERVICE". The bathroom door is some beat up wooden piece that doesn't lock, bad roads to the property, the AC keeps tripping every 5 minutes, the lights keep flickering so badly that you eventually switch them off for peace..... and the list just goes on! NEVER GOING BACK AND NEVER SUGGESTING THIS TO ANYONE!! They treat people based on room booking types. BIGGEST MISTAKE of our Sri Lankan Trip and spoilt the entire mood of the day.
La habitación era muy grande Aire acondicionado funciona perfectamente Ubicación excelente Personal muy atento
La potencia del agua de la ducha era muy floja.
The room was very comfortable and clean. The location was very good, allowing us to do two hill climbings within half day. We love the view from the rooftop as well.
Хороший семейный отель. Вид с балкона.
We had such a wonderful stay at Lakmini Lodge! We arrived around 8 hours before check-in and they welcomed us with open arms, offering us a room right away for a small extra fee — so kind and accommodating. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the views from the breakfast area overlooking Sigiriya Rock were simply breathtaking. The owners are incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help us — they organized a fantastic safari where the jeep picked us up and dropped us off at the lodge, and they also arranged a taxi from Sigiriya to Ella with a stop at Dambulla Cave Temple, all for a very fair price. On top of that, they even arranged a tuk-tuk for us at 4:00 AM so we could hike up Pidurangala Rock in time for sunrise — everything was easy, smooth and made with care. Truly a 10/10 experience — we couldn’t recommend it more! Thank you so much for everything ❤️
Очень чисто и уютно, красивый сад, расположение очень удобное рядом кафе и рестораны
Posizione ottima per raggiungere Sigiriya, terrazza panoramica da cui si vede Sigiriya, ampia sala all’ingresso
Struttura in ristrutturazione, la stanno completando, è indicato bar e ristorante ma non c’è nessuno dei due.Eravamno nella camera accanto alla lavanderia, abitazione ancora non ristrutturata, tutto il resto della struttura è nuovo. Sono molto rigidi nell’orario della Colazione che è servita solo dalle 7:30 alle 10 e non sono stati accomodanti nel permetterci di farla mezz’ora prima per poter fare l’escursione. Svariate ragnatele.
Czysto i schludnie. Smaczne śniadanie
+comfortable beds +clean room +spacious +close by to some restaurants and to sigiriya Rock +friendly staff (they can speak English) +Air conditioner +bath gel, bath soap, and hair dryer available for use.
- only takes cash, I wish they took card since we considered staying longer but couldn't due to limited cash on hand. - low pressure shower.
Lo staff molto gentile e premuroso per ogni cosa. Posizione ottima con vista su Lion’s Rock
Stanza basic ma comunque pulita
Property was clean, breakfast was very good and the staff friendly
More communication around towel change and room cleaning as well as what is happening in the fields around at night times.
Was a very clean room and great location to lion rock
Having to pay in cash was inconvenient
Location, views to Lion Rock and friendly service
The view on the Lion’s rock and the localisation ! Very kind staff and good food !
Gute Lage
Das Zimmer war sehr einfach ausgestellt, die Toilette muss renoviert werden, mit der Klimaanlage konnte man die Temperatur nicht regulieren. Sie war zu kalt eingestellt. Kein Wasserkocher im Zimmer.
Stayed one night at Lakmini Lodge in Sigiriya and had a great experience. The room was clean and the environment was peaceful. For the price, it was definitely worth it. Nothing to complain about, a comfortable and value for money stay!
Tout était parfait. Si vous vous arrêtez dans la région je vous conseil fortement cet établissent. Le petit déjeuner est une merveille
The location
Просто супер! За такие деньги это лучший выбор! Берите и не думайте даже! Отличный хозяин, отличный персонал, просторные светлые номера, горячая вода и шикарный вид с крыши на гору. В 2-5 минутах полно магазинов и кафе, живут пару слонов, а под окнами на рисовых полях гуляют павлины. Спасибо огромное!
Für eine Nacht okay....
部屋が広いのと落ち着いた照明が何よりリラックスできました。アメニティもシャンプー&ソープが付いてシャワーも使いやすかった。やはり水圧は物足りないと感じました。でもトータルでお得感のある良い宿と感じました。
Great value for money. Clean and comfortable stay with a great breakfast!
Petit déjeuner parfait, chambre propre, confortable, personnel serviable et gentil
Difficile de comprendre comment utiliser la douche quand on ne sait pas
View is amaizing! A hanger is missing from the room, insufficient light, plug adapter.
Nananda and Shara were a lovely couple who were so helpful in every way. We had a lift to Lion Rock, were able to use their washing machine, drinking water was plentiful. The room was spotless with a private balcony and lovely view of Lion Rock. Breakfast was very good, served on the roof terrace. The location is good, off the main road, so quiet, and a short walk to the lake, which is very pretty.
We were disappointed that there was no longer a restaurant but nearby were many good ones so it wasn't a problem.
Good size rooms, basic but functional.
It was clean but just a bit more attention would be very. Ie spill on wall could have been wiped.
L’établissement est situé en pleine nature. C’était vraiment dépaysant!
Rien
호스트분들 너무 착하셨고 툭툭 예약 등 필요한거 물어볼때마다 바로 도와주셨습니다. 스리랑카가 전체적으로 열악한 환경인데 이정도면 괜찮다고 생각합니다. 에어컨이 약해서 실링 팬에 의지를 많이 했습니다. 팬 바람이 안가는 자리는 엄청 덥긴했어요.
화장실에 칸막이가 있으면 좋겠습니다. 변기에 물이 다 튀어서 조금 불편했습니다.
Super fijn verblijf gehad! De kamers zijn erg ruim en het zag er allemaal schoon uit. Het was fijn dat we een balkon hadden. Het dakterras is prachtig, met een uitzicht op de Lion Rock. Ook een tip om daar de zonsopkomst te bekijken! Ontbijt was ook helemaal in orde.
Great location for Sigiraya rock and short walk to village. Rasta raunt is a great venue for eating and drinking
This place is OK for a night or two, but is very basic and could be cleaner. There is a extremely good view of the lion rock from the balcony. The sink poured out onto the floor the first time I used the sink. In fairness to the staff and management they did sort it out after a couple of tries. We didn't have any future problems. The staff and Manager were very helpful and friendly. We had breakfast and it OK.
Could be cleaner and provide a few more facilities in the room.
Ωραία τοποθεσία & μεγάλα κρεβάτια
Η τουαλέτα
Tolle Unterkunft mit super Ausblick - tip top. Man ist in 1-2 min. Fussweg bei Shops zum Wasser kaufen, sowie auch bei guten Restaurants.
Bei Ankunft wurde ich in das Zimmer gebracht, ohne weitere Infos. Das Wifi ist sehr schlecht. Und im Zimmer hatte es Schimmel an den Wänden.
- proximité des restaurants - pas de bruit - terrasse avec vue splendide sur le rocher - bel hotel propre
- le personnel, donne les clés à 14h, et pas avant.
A convenient location away from main road to visit Sigiriya fortress and gardens and for safaris. Our room was spotless and confortable but lacking charm. Breakfast served on request on the terrace with lovely views over the rock.
It is quite impersonal ( newly built ) and quality of service could be improved
The property is very beautiful with a special highlight being the terrace from which the Sigiriya rock is visible. The food and hospitality is amazing, definitely recommend staying here
The owner was indeed friendly & so much helpful and responsive :) Location is in a bit more peaceful and not that touristic area, 15min walk to Lion Rock. We spent there full three days and it was a good spot for day trip to Anuradhapura, Polannaruwa, safari. The breakfast on the tarrace makes a day:)
急な予約にも丁寧に予約してくだっさし、室内も清潔だった。
Really nicely designed rooms, spacious and clean. I left my phone charger, offered to send it but my driver can pick it up.
Had to ask for the room towels
Skvělý personal, jídlo výborné a nejlepší výhled na Sigyirii.
