Sigiri Birds Hostel

The garden.. aww, the garden is so dreamy. And it’s super nice to chill there in the hammock. In general it’s a very peaceful place and the location is great. The dorms are small and the beds are super comfortable. Also the family is very sweet and are here for you when you are alone. The breakfast in the morning was simple and very delicious.

Lo que más me gustó fue la familia que vive en el alojamiento, te hacen sentir en casa!

Struttura molto semplice ma i proprietari, una coppia super gentile e accogliente, hanno reso i miei giorni lì davvero belli. Il ragazzo mi ha portato in giro per Sigiriya a farmi scoprire dei luoghi poco turistici e meravigliosi e lei ha cucinato dei piatti super buoni. Per non parlarle dei loro figli che sono meravigliosi. Super consigliato

What I Loved: Nuwan, the owner, is an incredibly friendly host. He didn’t just welcome us, he took care of us – literally driving us around, showing us all the best spots in Sigiriya, and recommending hidden gems we would’ve never found ourselves (including a stunning sunset spot!). He’s well connected with all the local tourist activities and goes out of his way to arrange everything smoothly for his guests. His wife is equally lovely and cooked us authentic Sri Lankan meals. Don’t expect fancy restaurant-style food..it’s wholesome, traditional, and adds to the warm, family-style experience. Their constant smiles, and genuine hospitality made us feel completely at home. And yes, their two kids are absolutely adorable! Location: The location is perfect – tucked away in a quiet, secluded area, very close to all the major attractions in Sigiriya. There are also 3-4 other guesthouses within walking distance where you can go for lunch or dinner.  At night, the sky is filled with stars – peaceful and magical. *PRO TIP: Definitely go for a walk at night! We thought we saw a shooting star, but it turned out to be a firefly – the tree at the entrance lights up with fireflies at night. Pure magic! ✨ Stay: The guest house has one big shared room with four single beds, each with mosquito nets. There's a long common bathroom – simple and clean. It’s nothing fancy, and you’ll need to bring your own toiletries (though Nuwan will happily help you out if you forget something). We were two friends and shared the room with a solo traveler. we had great conversations and made a new friend. It’s a lovely place for solo travelers to meet people and share stories! Overall, it’s a budget-friendly, clean, and homely place where the hosts’ hospitality makes any small flaws feel irrelevant We left with full hearts and unforgettable memories. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Sigiriya!

While the stay was overall lovely, there are a few things to keep in mind. The place is very simple and basic—just one large shared room with four beds and a long common bathroom, so don’t expect luxury or privacy. You’ll need to bring your own toiletries. The meals are homemade and authentic, which adds to the experience, but they’re quite simple—so if you're expecting restaurant-style or richly flavored food, you might be a little underwhelmed. That said, the warmth of the hosts more than makes up for these small things.
