The room is really beautiful, with an amazing views of the garden and the nature. It’s very clean and the staff is very helpful and try to solve your doubts. Thanks to the host of the house we changed our trip and was the best decision ever.

Such a cosy place to stay, very near Sigiriya rock. The beautiful accommodation has everything to make you feel comfortable and the owners are very friendly and helpful. Loved the breakfast ! Mmmm

Nothing really. There are some cheeky monkeys near the property but that's not even a down side:)

clean, very helpful host, sincere attitude

frog, lizard inside home

1.the host is very kind and honest. The transportation he offered is with good price and good service. Recommend that you book the car and tuktuk with him and it is cheaper than the transport on the street. 2.the location is good for everywhere. 3.the breakfast is so generous and delicious that it can keep you full all day. 4.the room rate is affordable to solo traveller and the room has everything you need.(tea, hotpot, fridge,AC ...)

1.the neighbor's dogs are not quite friendly. 2.the room has some musty smell probably caused by continuous rain.. 3.the host sometimes is too attentive that make guest feel lack of privacy, but his offers about the transportation and food are with fair price. No cheating.

Everything 🙂. The room is big, spotless, the bathroom also, the breakfast is huge and excellent, there is a beautiful garden in front.The owner is very kind and extremely helpful, arranged the breaakfast according to our needs, helped with information about buses, arranging transport etc. Would 100% recommend. This was by far our best stay in Sri lanka.

This was definitely the best stay we had in Sri Lanka. Owner takes care of everything for you, his wife and daughter and the best cooks! they prepare every day different breakfast and different dinner. Next time we visit, we need to stay longer. the rooms has everything you need, like a hotel. when you sit on the terrace you can see monkey in the trees. the owner is always there to make sure, they we enjoy them from fat and they don’t get too close :) amazing, amazing, amazing!!!!

Very nice private rooms. Nice and quiet area. Family Owners are so kind and nice. Breakfast 10/10. Space to park your rental car as well. Owner checked the oil and water in our car before we left to make sure we avoid breakdown. :)

New and very clean facilities, everything was very comfortable. Host goes out of his way to help you and gives great recommendations for excursions, drivers, etc. He even personally drove us to Sigiriya Rock for free at 5 am in the morning. Breakfast was also amazing and something to look forward to every morning (including good coffee, which is not the case everywhere). Thank you Ashoka!

The room was very clean and comfortable, far more than I expected. I couldn’t believe that I could stay this room with this reasonable price. The owner was super kind and helped me quite a lot to do all what I wanted to do within the short time. The food was delicious and enjoyed peaceful time there. Definitely I would like to revisit it.

My recent stay at The Cattleya Guesthouse was truly memorable. The guesthouse is nestled in a beautiful location and is run by a kind and welcoming owner who made me feel right at home. The rooms are clean and spacious. One of the highlights of my stay was the delicious homemade food that was served. The owner is an excellent cook and every meal (breakfast and we also ordered dinner) was great. I particularly enjoyed the traditional Sri Lankan dishes that were prepared with fresh and local ingredients. Overall, I would highly recommend The Cattleya Guesthouse to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Sri Lanka.

Such a peaceful and pleasant place, with nice terrace to sit on and enjoy the birds, monkeys, and even sometimes elephants (at night only). Host and his family were so attentive and kind, and will arrange any activity for you. Food was very good and room was new new and very comfortable (4 pillows!) with good AC, fan, kettle and refrigerator, and refreshing rain shower. We liked walking in area from guest house in rural landscapes to nearby lake and town.

We stayed 4 nights and would have appreciated some shelves and hanging space to put clothes, as well as shear curtains in addition to dark curtains so you could enjoy light with a bit more privacy in daytime.

A very clean place. The host Ashok was very helpful

It is just a two room place. I think a little over priced.

The owner is super nice and the accommodation with 2 rooms small but nice. Everything was clean and the bed was comfortable. I had additionally asked for a local dinner and it was freshly prepared for me and tasted extremely good - with dessert even :)

Everything about the stay was wonderful. The home cooked food was amazing. Ashokan's recommendations were good. We would highly recommend his place.

Lovely room with patio/breakfast area outside - beautiful garden - we saw monkeys there! Hot water, working AC, very kind and friendly owner. Breakfast was very nice, served in the patio area.

The host Ashoka was very warm and welcoming. He gave me tips on sites to see whilst in Sigiriya and personally drove me to Lions Rock, Pidurangala Rock and Dambulla. The accomodation was very clean and modern and Breakfast and dinner was delicious. I definitely recommend this place, my stay was perfect and Ashoka went out of his way to make sure I was well accommodated.

Our host wasps helpful and kind, we had the best time in Sigiriya. recommend the safari tour, it was perfect. everything was smooth and eco friendly. Our host was extra caring and nice

the hotel owner was beyond nice and helpful! he offered us delicious meals and beverages, helped in planning our trip and even was careful enough to bring us home from our lonely walk that may have ended with an elephant attack! the hotel has only two guest rooms which makes it unique and very private! you can literally sit hours on a porch, enjoying the silence and the birds singing! thank you very much for everything, keep going with this marvelous, calm place! lots of love!

everything was so great it was truly a slice of heaven, it is such a beautiful place to stay and I spent a lot of time enjoying the lovely terrace and garden. Mr Ashoka was so helpful and arranged all of my trips for me, and the food was the best I have had in Sri Lanka. Make sure to try the delicious dinner!

the owner was so good and helpful

it is a privet property no disturbance anymore

the hospitality and the peaceful view

Distance to sigirya and the effort of the stuff

The host is nice but to demanding. We would have loved not to be asked for dinner several times. We explained that we want privacy but this wasn't understood. Besides that they are very friendly. Also the room description is wrong, there is no mountain view. You will have to walk 25 m to barely see it.

Everything was great! The location is perfect to visit Lion’s Rock. You can see it from the bottom of the garden and the host gave us a free lift up to the entrance which was lovely. There’s also a few places to eat nearby if you walk along the road towards the town. One restaurant we particularly liked right next to the lake with the view of the rock and if you’re lucky a wild elephant. The room is perfect, nice big bed with mosquito net round, just like the pictures. Tea, coffee and kettle in the room. Good size bathroom with toiletries and a hairdryer. There was another small guest, a frog on the toilet seat which the host kindly got away for us, he came back though and lived behind the toilet haha. The outside seating area was nice, we had breakfast and dinner there. The breakfast was delicious with coconut pancakes, roti, hoppers, fruit and juice. The dinner was also very tasty, we had a mix of vegetable curries and rice. I thought the bugs would be bad sitting outside in the evening but there was a plug in which definitely helped because we weren’t bothered by them at all. The host also drove us to Pidirangala rock and Dumbulla for a small fee, even during these incredibly hard times with petrol etc for them.

Nothing.

Very clean, and ran by a nice gentleman. You can see Lion rock in the distance

Nothing

The breakfast was outside our room, at the time that we requested. We wanted to go to sygiria before getting the train to Trinco. The kind owner prepared breakfast for us when we got back from Sygiria and took us to the station. Helping us to book our tickets. Really welcoming

This guesthouse was by far the best place we stayed throughout all of Sri Lanka. Rooms are brand new (built only in 2020), with modern bathroom and spacious bedroom with beautiful large king-size bed. Immaculately clean. Breakfasts on the terrace were pure Sri Lankan magic: exceptional Sri Lankan food and fresh fruit juices, lush garden complete with elephant foot prints, and cheeky monkeys who are just waiting for a chance to take a banana. The owners are incredibly kind: the hostess is a fabulous cook (we ate 2 traditional rice and curry dinners here, plus 2 breakfasts) and the host drove us for free to the entrance of Sigiriya and kindly helped us with our travel plans to Polonnawura and back to Galle. Even though Sri Lanka was going through a difficult time with nationwide power outages and increasing gas prices during the time we stayed, we felt truly cared for by the gentle and incredibly kind owners. Thank you!

this place is great in Sigiriya, the rooms are impeccable, cleaning standards are amazing and the owners hospitality is at its best. it feels like you’re at home. not to be missed you do not need a safari as the elephant’s are roaming just next to your door step. Food is great too typical srilankan food cooked in its best standards to give you a rich taste. we will definitely be back.
