Localisation Gentillesse des hôtes Qualité des services Qualité des repas
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Die Hosts waren ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit und haben uns bei der Planung und Organisation unserer Aktivitäten jederzeit unterstützt. Besonders praktisch war, dass der Host über ein eigenes Tuk-Tuk verfügt und uns dadurch auch bei den Fahrten unkompliziert weiterhelfen konnte. Auch das Frühstück und das Abendessen waren sehr lecker und frisch zubereitet. Insgesamt haben wir uns hier sehr wohlgefühlt und können die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. 10 von 10 Punkten!
Familia muy agradable. Te ayudan en todo. Desayuno y cena estupendos. Comida tipica muy bien cocinada. Alojamiento muy limpio. El hombre tiene tuk tuk está disponible para realizar rutas
Si contratas ruta con él, evita ir al jardin de las especias. Es un saca perras a turistas
Ganga Homestay was such a warm and special stay in Sigiriya. The family who runs it are incredibly kind, and the wife’s cooking is honestly amazing, we even got to spend an evening learning how to cook with her, which was one of the highlights of our whole trip. The husband showed us around a few spots with beautiful views of Lion Rock. Breakfast was good and varied every day, and the garden is lovely too, full of vegetables and fruit trees. The location is great, and their dog is very sweet. Our room had AC and a fan, a comfortable bed and a large bathroom, so we slept well every night. We’d recommend this place if you pass by Sigirya.
The host was welcoming. Always trying his best to make you happy. He got a tuk tuk he can take you to visit the place for a reasonable price. The breakfast n dinner were yummy, mostly everything fresh from the garden . We even have some fresh guavas from the garden itself.
It was a local house with very nice hosts. The facilities were clean and comfortable. We come 2 adults and 4 children and it fit perfectly , great breakfast
The location is bit sideways 200m from main road), if you come with driver it a benefit but if not it could be problematic
ホームステイをしているかのような温かい雰囲気で、とても楽しく滞在できました。 ご家族で運営されている宿で、皆さん本当に親切で優しい方々ばかりです。滞在中もいろいろと気にかけてくださり、安心して過ごすことができました。 朝食も美味しく、室内もとても清潔です。シャワーもしっかり熱いお湯が出るので、快適に過ごせました! また、サファリツアーやダンブッラ、シギリヤロックなどの観光もアレンジしてもらえます。私はサファリツアーを事前に別のところで予約してしまいましたが、こちらで相談すれば、よりリーズナブルな料金で、動物を見やすいおすすめの時間帯に合わせて手配してもらえるとのことでした。 シギリヤ周辺を観光する方は、宿泊とあわせてツアーについても相談してみるのがおすすめです! とても居心地がよく、素敵な滞在になりました。
シギリヤは自然に囲まれているため、部屋の中にたまに虫が入ってくることがありました。ただ、これはシギリヤ周辺ではどの宿でもある程度は仕方がないことだと思います。ベッドは蚊帳でしっかり覆われているので、寝るときは虫を気にすることなく快適に眠れました。
Such a lovely homestay. Clean and comfortable. The host family are beautiful people, so kind and helpful. Home cooked dinner was excellent. They arranged an elephant safari which was brilliant.
Littéralement tout était parfait. Ganga et sa famille sont juste exceptionnels, aux petits soins, toujours prêt à nous aider, à nous donner des conseils et à nous rendre service. Les petits déjeuners étaient faits maison et excellent. Idem pour le dîner du premier soir. La chambre est parfaitement équipée avec climatisation, lits très confortables avec moustiquaire, grande salle de bain. Tout est très propre. La localisation de l’appartement est parfaite car très proche du lac et du Lion rock, proche des restaurants. Une famille très attachante qui nous a donné envie de garder contact et de revenir. Allez-y les yeux fermés. Merci Ganga et votre famille pour tout

Très bon accueil dans une famille très attachante. Nous logions dans une chambre familiale confortable, propre et climatisée. Nous avons pris tous les dîners sur place, la cuisine est excellente et nous avons pu participer à la cuisine avec la maman, une excellente cuisinière. Le papa nous a donné beaucoup de conseils et nous a proposé de nous transporter avec son Tuk tuk toujours prêt à nous rendre service. Très bon séjour à Sigirya. Nous recommandons cette adresse.

The hosts of the place went over and above for us to be comfortable. It is not the most fanciest place, but it is a decent room, kept clean. Aunty made the best huge srilankan breakfast for us and made us dinner basis our ask, which was amazing too! Special mention to their garden, and the fresh juice we got from the fruits they grew in the garden.
Nothing
The host and his family are extremely welcoming. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and breakfast tasty and abundant. A lovely garden with a huge variety of fruits and vegetables. Prianthe has his own tuktuk and can arrange full day trips or just transportation to all nearby sights. Very convenient. Overall a very pleasant stay. Highly recommended.
Superbe accueil, personnes adorables et serviables.
We stayed two nights with Ganga and her husband, and we loved our stay! They were very kind and helpful. Even organising the local barber (their neighbour) to cut our hair - he did a great job. They helped us with organising our visits to the local sites and restaurants and even gave us a lift in their tuktuk. They offer home cooked Lankan breakfast and dinner, which were really tasty. They also did our laundry which came back smelling of jasmine. I fully recommend letting them organise an Elephant safari to the eco park nearby - it was amazing! The room was also very comfy, clean and furnished. With aircon, ceiling fan and nets. Hot water on demand in a big bathroom.
Der Betreiber und die Familien haben uns aufgenommen, als wären wir Teil der Familie. Die Frau hat immer für uns gekocht und uns wenn wir zuhause waren immer Tee und Kaffee gebracht. Ab und zu haben wir auch ungefragt limonensaft oder andere Köstlichkeiten bekommen. Alles in allem war es fabelhaft !
Eigenen Adapter für Ladegeräte & Co mitbringen
Un accueil exceptionnel de toute la famille, les petits déjeuner et diners très copieux et variés, très bon, on s'est régalé. Nous avons pu faire les apprentis cuisiniers un soir, trop sympa :) même si je ne suis pas sûre qu'on soit capable de refaire ;). D'excellents conseils sans jamais rien imposer, présents sans être intrusif, le tuk tuk sur place, le calme... bref on a tout aimé :)

Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön, mit einem tollen Grundstück drum herum. Die Familie ist sehr nett, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Ich habe mit dem Gastgeber 2 Touren zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten gemacht und einen Abend mit der Familie gekocht. Ich habe jeden Tag dort gefrühstückt und zu Abend gegessen weil das Essen total lecker ist.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Newly refurbished room with great working air con, comfortable big bed and nice new bathroom with plenty of space. Short walk into town. The family who runs this home stay is the absolute highlight - from exceptional cooking (dinner and breakfast were some of the best we have had), to arranging tuk tuk rides, organising us a safari and being shown around their beautiful garden; their hospitality was nothing we have experienced before. Highly recommend this home stay to anyone coming.

I came for one night but ended up staying three. The family is adorable, helpful, and very warm. The breakfast is generous and really delicious—yum! The place is quiet, the room has air conditioning, and the bathroom is spacious and very clean. Everything was perfect. Thank you 🙏
Good location. Quiet and great family to stay with. Very accommodating
There was nothing that we didn’t like
The family of this homestay were so incredibly friendly! They offered great breakfast and dinner + they even gave us welcome drinks in the afternoon. The beds were comfortable and the shower had great water pressure and warm water. It was very clean and you have a nice terrace to sit on. The honestay also offers you to go on a tour to see nice viewing points in sigiriya. This comes with extra costs but definitely worth it
Accueil,la gentillesse,la disponibilité et la cuisine.
La gentillesse des propriétaires, le petit déjeuner et le dîner
Fantastic host family, quiet edge of village location (few minutes walk back into centre or short tuk tuk ride). Breakfast was outstanding, as was the evening meal we helped to prepare with the hosts!
The location is unbeatable, completely walkable and convenient. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring a massive variety and new menu items every single day. Most importantly, the owners are wonderful; their warmth and willingness to help made our stay special. I would definitely return!

Everything done and prepared thoroughly and with great care. Excellent breakfast. The owner is a tuk-tuk driver. He took us to all sights. The garden is beautiful. The best stay during our journey.
Colazione speciale fatta in casa, eccezionale!
La famille qui tient la chambre est adorable, les lits sont très confortables et le petit déjeuner est excellent et très copieux. Nous avons aussi pris les repas sur place ce qui nous a permis de goûter à des spécialistes locales.
La chambre est un peu petite, pas simple de trouver de la place pour les valises
Die Gastgeber waren sehr zuvorkommend, flexibel und freundlich. Sie hatten uns zu sehr fairen Preisen zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten gefahren und feine Abendessen gekocht. Des weiteren haben sie uns auch immer wieder gratis Säfte gemacht und wir konnten auch gratis ein late Check-out machen. Uns hat auch sehr gefallen, dass das Homestay im Grünen war (aber trotzdem sehr schnell zu Fuss im Dorf). Die Unterkunft war sauber und hatte alles, was man braucht.
Nicht. Alles war super :)
L’impression d’être à la maison !! Prantha et sa famille sont adorables. On a passé un séjour merveilleux au sein de sa famille. On était tellement bien que nous avons rajouté 2 jours supplémentaires ! Prantha a été d’excellents conseils pour explorer la région. C’est l’endroit parfait pour faire un safari éléphant (le chauffeur qu’il nous a conseillé était top ! ), le Lion rock ou encore Polonnaruva (on y est allé avec Prantha qui peut vous faire explorer la région pour un bon prix). On a même rejoint notre étape suivante avec lui (Nilaveli). Possibilité de prendre les dîners au sein de la Guesthouse ( excellents !) et les petits déjeuners sont top !
Tout était parfait !
It is a true homestay. You or your group are the only customers and the host lives right next door. They are a nice Family and make a lot of helpful suggestions and offer to organize trips. Everything is clean.
The rooms have AC on booking. However, it is extra charge, which i only learned when i arrived there. On one hand it is very inexpensive on the other hand the AC is a 50% increase... I dont like this. Just make two options in booking. I think that is more transparent.
Clean,delicious breakfast ,great hospitality,friendly owners

It was a wonderful stay! Since there is only one room, you receive very attentive service. It's easy to discuss your itinerary during your stay. As they own a tuk-tuk, getting around is easy. They can also arrange elephant tours. Ganga's cooking was incredibly delicious, offering traditional Sri Lankan dishes. The portion sizes are surprisingly large, which is especially recommended for big eaters. The fruits and fruit juices were also very tasty. The bed in the room was comfortable and came with a lovely large mosquito net.
Everything!! incredible family, who welcomed me with great affection, respect, making me feel at home. everyone very helpful. The location was perfect, very peaceful environment. The room was very clean, new, everything was perfect! The owner is also a tuk tuk driver which made all my trips easier, always very helpful. If I ever go back to Sigiriya, I will definitely stay here!!
Nothing.
Great place. Clean and new plumbing. Very comfortable bed. The owner of the guesthouse is a tuk-tuk driver and a professional in his field. He will take you where you need to go for a good price. He knows Sigiriya better than any guide. His wife cooks wonderful breakfasts and dinners. Believe me, it was tastier and cheaper than in local cafes. I highly recommend it.

Ganga homestay has been my favourite in Sri Lanka in terms of cleanliness, comfort and with how kind the family were! This isn't a place to meet fellow travellers but if you're looking for privacy, this is a great option. I was even unwell during my stay and they took great care of me.
Our stay at Ganga homestay was amazing. The family was super friendly and they cooked delicious food for us. They made juices with fruits from their own garden and we tried fresh coconut water. He gave us advice where we can go and brought us with the tuktuk to the beautiful places, even for sunrise to the Lions Rock. And the room was very clean and comfortable. We had an amazing time there and would definitely visit again. Thank you so much for everything!
Nothing!
Beautiful Place to stay. Super close to the two rocks! The garden is lovely and has everything: Chili, Lime,Mango, coconuts…a rice field in the back :)The oweners are very welcoming and want to make sure you are having the best experience in Sigiriya. It was a super clean and basically new! We had an amazing breakfast. Really recommend staying here!
Nothing
The room was extremly clean even the bed cover was smelling that it was not used before and was very fresh and clean. The family was very warm and we felt at home and still our privacy was respected. The food was fresh and the family tried every effort that our trip was fulfilled with unforgetable memories. We even extended our stay for one day and would prefer to stay with the same family during our whole trip.
Everything was already perfect and there was nothing which we did not like.
We had such a great stay at Ganga. The room + en suite was spacious and very clean, with a lovely hot shower. The best part though was the hosting family. They were super helpful in organising transportation and giving recommendations. They were incredibly friendly and made us feel very comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious and generously portioned, as was the evening meal we opted into one night.
This is a totally new accommodation, so everything is new and really clean. Also, there was a warm shower, that was really great! But the most important thing, the family is really nice. They helped me with planning my stay and I also went to a beautiful sunset point with the 2 daughters, it was amazing! Lastly, they made me an incredible breakfast. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and I would definitely recommend this accomodation!
The property is amazing! The room is brand new. There is mosquito net (I didn’t need it as there weren’t any mosquitoes during my stay). The room was very clean. The host (priyantha and his wife) were amazing hosts. I highly recommend this place. I opted for home cooked dinner. It was amazingly delicious.
The Family is so much friendly. The structure is new and very clean, they suggested us a spot to watch the sunset. They offer typical and very tasty meals.
