Un’esperienza fantastica! La casa sull’albero è semplicemente bellissima, immersa nella natura ma dotata di ogni comfort, inclusa un’aria condizionata perfettamente funzionante e una pulizia impeccabile in ogni angolo. Un ringraziamento speciale a Madara, che ci ha accolto con una gentilezza e un calore unici, facendoci sentire subito a casa e assistendoci per ogni necessità. La colazione è inclusa ogni mattina ottima e abbondante. Consigliatissimo a chiunque cerchi un soggiorno unico in Sri Lanka

Wat hebben wij genoten van elke minuut bij Woodholic Homestay! Vanaf het moment dat we aankwamen, voelden we ons meteen welkom. De gastvrouw en haar familie zijn zulke lieve, warme en oprechte mensen. De glimlach waarmee we werden ontvangen, zegt eigenlijk al alles. 😊 Zo’n gastvrijheid kom je niet overal tegen! Onze kamer was mooi, heel proper en gezellig, met een heerlijk bed waarin we fantastisch hebben geslapen. Ook het terrasje aan de kamer was een heerlijke plek om even tot rust te komen. En dan het ontbijt… magnifiek! 😍 Zó veel, zó lekker en met zoveel zorg bereid. Je proefde gewoon dat alles met liefde was gemaakt. Een echte verwennerij! Daarnaast ligt Woodholic Homestay ideaal: veel van wat je in Sigiriya wilt zien en doen, ligt dichtbij. De perfecte uitvalsbasis om de omgeving te ontdekken. Dankjewel voor alles! ❤️ Jullie warmte, vriendelijkheid en gastvrijheid hebben ons verblijf extra bijzonder gemaakt. We zullen met een grote glimlach terugdenken aan onze tijd bij jullie. Een absolute aanrader voor iedereen die naar Sigiriya komt! 🇱🇰✨ We would definitely stay here again! ❤️

Tuvimos una experiencia hermosa en la cabaña para dos personas. Muy acogedora, cómoda y con un entorno natural. La cabaña está muy bien construida y tiene detalles que suman al confort. Los desayunos fueron riquísimos, abundantes y preparados de forma casera por los dueños, realmente un lujo. El servicio fue excelente, la familia fue súper amable, atenta y además nos consiguieron un safari para mi pareja y para mi (nos pasó a buscar por el alojamiento y nos llevó de vuelta). Volvería a quedarme acá! Realmente lo recomiendo!

The bed itself was really big and very comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious and huge, with local food: hoppers, eggs, dahl and fresh fruit, as well as bread/toasts jams etc. The hosts would message us on whatsapp for what time we would like breakfast served and bring it to the terrace, so it was super convenient around our plans. The AC and fan in the room was very good.

This was a higher cost stay, and from the photos and most reviews, I was expecting a more elevated experience. On arrival, the place was a building site with piles of bricks and rubble tipped around the site. The room itself didn't allow much space to move around the bed, and limited space to lay our bags. The shower never got hot. This is a more remote location, so you would expect some calm and relaxation, but every single day of our stay, there was a workshop on the site with someone was continuously using heavy machinery, which began around 8am each morning as we were eating our breakfast. For this price point I would have expected a towel change at least, but the room was never serviced. It was approx. 50 min walk to Sigiriya town, all the restaurants/bars/shops, which was pleasant in the daylight, but there are warnings everywhere of wild elephants, and not to walk at dawn/dusk. It is worth considering sunrise/sunset times as for us in January, this was around 6.30am and 6pm - so really we had to leave very early to get out for our evening meals as there was no chance of a passing tuktuk as we were so remote. We never saw the hosts other than at breakfast to ask for a tuktuk. This could be prearranged over whatsapp but didn't allow for any spontaneity. We did see three wild elephants around the stay, which may sound appealing to see such amazing animals out roaming, but they truly are wild and all of the locals really advised being in a car/tuktuk as they are no joke and can unintentionally cause harm. In the town/main road there are lots of tuktuks readily available, but they will not be familiar with this location and take a fair bit of explanation. We had to rely on these every evening and typically paid 400-600 SLR. If there had been peddle bikes available, this would have gave us way more freedom and quicker access to the town, but I still would not have risked it in the dark.
