We had a great experience with Lal in Sigiriya - it was safe, friendly, well located and perfect for our needs, and it felt 'real' without being invasive. While it is not a luxurious place by any means, the quality of the welcome and communications with the host, the meals and overall simplicity were well suited to our family trip, especially on our first few nights in Sri Lanka.

Great host and location, very comfortable and great value for money. A bit difficult to find after dark (even for experienced SL driver) so request clear explanations - but worthwhile once there.
