Maapagala Resort Sigiriya

Really helpful staff and a stunning location just out of the main strip. The staff were really friendly and the breakfast was delicious.

Lekker rustig en een fijn zwembad.

De bedden waren wat minder. Sommige veren kon je voelen. Wel een mooie klamboe tegen de muggen.

המיקום היה מעולה הבעלים היה סופר נחמד ועזר לנו בכל בקשה

הבריכה לא היתה נקייה ולא יכולנו להשתמש בה היו נמלים בחדר

The staff were polite and tried to be helpful when issues were raised. After I reported a serious problem with the first room, they did move me to another room and applied a small reduction, charging me for a smaller category. The location is convenient for visiting Sigiriya and the surroundings are peaceful.

The initial room had a very strong sewage smell coming from the bathroom, which was overwhelming and genuinely made me feel sick. I was told this was due to nearby paddy fields, but the smell was clearly coming from a drain/trap issue, not the surroundings. This is something that needs to be properly fixed, not explained away. Although I was moved to another room and given a small reduction, this situation should not occur in the first place. Wi-Fi was very slow and unreliable in the evenings (approximately 7–10pm). Breakfast was provided without any choice. While acceptable, this should be clearer in advance, as some guests may expect basic options.
