Grand freedom

Grand Freedom is much more than a homestay: it is a magical place surrounded by jungle and untouched nature, where a deep sense of peace can be felt at every moment. The location is very convenient, close to Sigiriya and the main attractions, as well as the bus stop. The room was spacious, welcoming, extremely clean, and carefully maintained in every detail. What truly makes this place special is Sajith. Traveling through India and Sri Lanka, Sajith is one of the most honest, respectful, and trustworthy person I have met. His care and attention come from a genuine love for nature and a deep respect for people. He is always available for anything you might need: whether it is information, help, or simply a friendly conversation. Also at 5 in the morning! Spending time with him and his family was the most beautiful part of my stay in Sigiriya. They are incredibly kind hearted people with a warm and generous spirit. Also, breakfast and dinner are absolutely delicious. I always felt completely safe and at ease during my stay, and I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone (solo traveller also!) visiting the area.

Location so close to nature

A lovely little accommodation located just a short distance from the main road, yet perfectly surrounded by nature. You can truly feel immersed in the natural environment, with birds, squirrels, and even monkeys all around. If you enjoy waking up to the sounds of nature, this is definitely the place for you. The owner is incredibly kind and helpful, always making sure everything is perfect for your stay. Every morning, we were treated to a delicious, freshly prepared breakfast, which made the experience even more special.

The best meal we had in all of Sri Lanka was having dinner here, cooked by the hosts mother. The breakfast were also very complete and filling. The room rating itself is probably a 7 at best given its exposure to nature and existence of ants etc. But the hospitality and food more than makes up for it. The host even gave us a small tour to a local lookout. We were able to walk (flat) to Lions Rock.

Whilst there is a mosquito net, there are still ants that get into the room
