"Binara Home Stay に到着した時、宿の主人から何年も前にHotels.comのアカウントを閉じたので、こちらの到着を予定していなかったと言われた。また宿泊代金も受け取ってないと言われました。Hotels.comに連絡をとってほしいと言われ、日本の友人にも協力を求めてHotels.comに電話をした。なぜずっと前から予約をしているのに、しかも宿泊客がこのようなことでHotels.comに連絡を取らないといけないのか？　宿の主人は良い人だったので宿泊を受けてくれました。部屋に冷蔵庫やクーラーはありません。２階建の2階の部屋だったので暑くて寝られませんでした。また暑くてドアを開けっぱなしにしたので、身体中蚊にかまれました。朝食２食と自転車利用代とミネラレル・ウォーター２本分の代金4,300Rsをチェックアウトの時に知らされ、支払いました。"

"Really very nice home stay near to the lake and the Museum. The landlady is very helpful and does everything to make the stay comfortable . The bycicle is brought to your room, this is the best way to see the sites, also the entrance is quite near. In the evening the landlady cooks a nice curry for you - or whatever you want - and she also has beer! All in all a very agreeable stay. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner though."

"When I arrived I was told the hotel was closed. I took pictures to prove I was there as I had already paid through Expedia. I then had a ‘neighbour’ show up to ‘offer’ alternate accommodation at a very much more cost! The hotel is on a back street and when confronted with having to find an option on the day when I was hoping to visit the palace I conceded to the higher price. This was classic ‘bait & switch! Do not ever book this hotel!!!!"

Top Kiri Vihara Temple Hotel Reviews

Sigiriya King's Resort

10/10 Excellent

"as amazing as siguriya itself is, and it is, the staff at king's resort were the highlight. nothing was too much trouble, true professional hospitality, it was great. we were there for our 20th wedding anniversary and they made it special. sri lanka is amazing. truely. did i mention the plunge pool? you'll prob want to get that. the big pool is brilliant but the plunge pool, for us, was really special"

Kolla Watersong Eco Cabana resort

10/10 Excellent

"Such a beautiful and special place. Just be aware that it’s a bit rustic and because it’s close to the swamp, there are a lot of insects at night. But if you stay inside and don’t mind roughing it a bit, this place is such a great experience and unmatched views and environment. Amazing owner and staff, always so eager to please. Even cooked us a fabulous dinner!"

Hotel Sigiriya

10/10 Excellent

"This is a large hotel and there did seem to be a couple of large groups staying there but this did not detract from our experience. Nice rooms with everything you could need, water readily provided. The pool is ok but the selling point for it is the fantastic view of Lions Rock. We ate in the restaurant on the first night and the buffet had a good selection of food to suit all palates. Breakfast was excellent, you can choose Sri Lankan or more western options. Plenty of choice. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel."

Sunshine Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Our hosts were welcoming and delightful. The hospitality made our visit of Sigiriya most memorable. The rooms were clean and the food was fresh and delicious. With ease of access to the restaurants, and of course Lion's Rock, we took in the sunrise from a most impressive ancient civilization! Highly recommended."

Heritance Kandalama

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location and service"

Cinnamon Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely wonderful hotel, with a calm, serene atmosphere, that blends in beautifully with it's surroundings. Cinnamon Lodge is the antitheses of a generic, bland, modern hotel, which exudes a sense of unfussy sophistication. The Cinnamon Group's website does not do justice to the architecture or to how lovely the grounds are. The architect took inspiration from the ruins of nearby Ritigala temple (well worth a visit), and it's amazing how comfortably the buildings blend in with the vast grounds. The rooms are huge and nicely furnished, without being "glitzy". We stayed in a suite that was essentially a two story house, and comes with your own butler - in our case Lalith, who made our stay complete - reserving tables, remembering your favourite drink and generally anticipating your every need. The food was consistently excellent over our five night stay. The staff are all warm, charming and do their best to make your stay a memorable one. They are led by an excellent management team, who are visible, approachable and highly competent. Our stand-out memory is of the wildlife - not just at the nearby national parks, but within the hotel grounds. Incredible bird-life, monkeys, monitor lizards, and even an elephant beside the lake. This was all brought to life for us by the hotel's resident naturalist team (in particular Kintu), and we recommend you seek out their expertise. An oasis of calm, in the heart of the cultural triangle."

Flower Garden Eco Village

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay here, friendly staff, amazing pool and pool chairs. Stayed another day as it was so relaxing. Good wi fi. Cool pet dogs."

The Otunna Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fantastic place to stay. The people are exceptionally warm and friendly, the food is incredible, clean and they are ethically and ecological mindful."

Gabaa Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We were extremely happy with our 3 nights stay at Gabaa. Staff were superb. All the cabins were hidden amongst the nature, making it must more relaxing and enjoyable. Property was very quiet and had plenty of privacy. Hiruni and Eranda and also everyone else were always available and made our stay memorable. My kids didn’t want to leave the property. Rooms very spacious and AC was worked perfectly. We got some tea and food and they were authentic."
