Good option to visit Sigiriya , Dambulla and National Parks.

Excellent food either breakfast and dinner in our two days stay! Very tasted fried rice and noodles. I recommend the local pineapple they served. Very friendly staff always aware of our needs. Well placed to visit the historical and archeological sites as well as the Lion's rock.

One of the room was without air conditioning and it was very difficult to sleep with 28/30 degrees. Be sure you select rooms with air conditionning.

Great place! The guys who runs the place are awesome and wanted to help you with everything. The room was good and it feels like your in the middle of the jungle. The food was awesome (dinner and breakfast - we also had a little lunch because we were hungry). They arranged a elephant safari and drove us to Pidurangala Rock. The brother of the owner even drove us to our next destination himself. Recommended to go there!

Beautiful stay, Heartwarming hospitality and delicious dinner

Had best Srilankan Dinner, very peaceful comfortable stay with amazing hospitality. This is such a beautiful place surrounded by nature, flowers, butterflies. What exceeded my expectation was the room of the homestay - one of the best rooms we stayed in Srilanka, very clean and comfortable. One of the brothers even came to pick up in Tuktuk after Sigriya Rock climbing because it was late at dark and animals could be roaming around. Highly Recommended to have dinner here which cost us 3000LKR.

A place that feels like home..

The best homestay experience we had in Sri Lanka. When we go there, we feel like we are at home. The rooms are very clean and nice. Also, there was a mini bar in the room for us to use. The garden is full of flowers. While having breakfast you can watch birds, butterflies, squirrels and monkeys in the garden. Mrs. Mallika's food is excellent. Don't forget to have dinner if you are there. We enjoyed the best rice and curry and kottu we had in Sri Lanka. Also, the owner arranged an airport shuttle for us at a very reasonable price and took us everywhere in their tuk tuk. And the Minneriya safari they organized was excellent. We saw a lot of wild animals there. Experienced jeep driver and kindest person to animals. Finally we recommend Palitha Homestay. If you are going to Sigiriya, you must stay at Palitha Homestay. Their service is excellent.

A good stay

The room was simple and clean. The staff, two young brothers, were efficient, punctual and with good manners. They provided tuk-tuk service for the duration of our stay and give us complimentary bicycles to ride around Sigiriya. Also, they arranged a safari (Gayan Jeep Safari). We were particulary pleased with the driver who managed to avoid other people in a crowded park, locate elphants pretty much instantly and clearly demonstrated a respect for animals. Lastly, it was nice to sit on the veranda on the last hours of the day keeping our voices down to avoid attracting wild elephants :)

The bathroom looked a bit shabby. Wather pressure was minimal and there were fiew places to hang towels and place items.

Amazing stay with an amazing mother and two son who takes care of you!

This is a place run by a family.The family is so amazing friendly. The mother is a perfect wonderful mama. so nice and caring, she woke up early to make us breakfast.The breakfast was really wonderful. So I ordered dinner from them.Their rice and curry is the best I have had in Sri Lanka. The room is really great, super clean and comfortable. The son is also a tuktuk driver so he took us anywhere we wanted, and was super available to bring us back in any time. It's easily walking distance (15min) to Lion Rock. You can rent a bicycle from them if you want.This is my second time at Palitha Homestay and will definitely come back again if I get the chance. Highly recommended.

A good place in Sigirya

Great service! Nice food. Beautiful garden. There was a table and two chairs outside. Good air conditioning. There was a small fridge. It was full with drinks for an additional price. The hotel worker arranged a taxi for us to our next destination for a very good price.

The room was a bit small but it's good for the price.

One of the best places we stayed in Sri Lanka.

The host is very friendly and highly hospitable. The rooms are nice and clean. The garden is very beautiful and quiet. And the dinner especially the rice and curry is very delicious. Don't forget dinner while you're there. Their tuk tuk will take you anywhere at a reasonable price. And they arranged a taxi and elephant safari for us. Recommend to everyone.

A perfect homestay

What a fantastic stay at Palitha Homestay! As soon as the booking was confirmed I was contacted for any assistance I may require. We were helped with activities to do in the area and transport was arranged for us. Anything you need they will help you with. The home cooking was really, really good and I would recommend eating there if you stay. Very friendly, welcoming people and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend people stay here!

It was the quietest accomadation we experienced in Sri Lanka. The owner is very friendly and helpful. He told us alot about Sigiriya and he organized a safari tour for us. We had a lot of fun there. Breakfast and dinner are delicious. We will definitly come back one day.

This place is a must if you want to experience authenticity in Sri Lanka. This is best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka. Our room and common areas were spotlessly clean and it was equipped with air conditioning. We also had a fridge which was pre-stocked with water and beers. Our bed had a mosquito tent around it which was very welcomed given the unique jungle setting of the house. Our en suite bathroom was spotlessly clean with a fully functioning shower with hot water, a toilet and a sink. The food was amongt the best we have had, not only in Sri Lanka but ever. The curry rice in particular stood out as a highlight, with many delicious options accompanied by rice, fried potatoes and poppadoms. Our host was very welcoming and organised transport to local tourist sites. Strong wifi was available throughout the site, including in our room. Last but not least, relaxing in the hammocks listening to nothing but the hum of the jungle insects and the rumble of the passing motorbikes is a pleasure in the evenings after exploring what Sigiriya and its neighbouring towns have to offer. 10/10 would recommend.
