Our stay in Relax Nature Villa was truly exceptional! Mahinde and his family are the BEST, they prepared a delicious breakfast for us and rented us bikes. Room was perfect, very comfortable bed, everything was clean. I would say that everyone should stay even for a night at this magical place, which is worthy of its name.

Everything about this place was amazing. This is the most beautiful private rooms and dorms I've been in Sri Lanka. The room was super clean, amazing bed and bathroom was wonderful! The staff there is friendly and will answer every question you have, bring you to the closest and also a bit more far objects to enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets, temples and swim in the near lake. They provide outstanding food and each meal is like a community gathering - enjoying food together, meeting other guests, making friends. And they also doing local food cooking classes. This is 100% the place to visit if you're in Sri Lanka and Singirya.

    The cleanest room we had in all of Sri Lanka! Rooms are modern, spacious, comfortable and quiet (set back in the property away from the road). The location is a few minutes from the main town but close enough to Lion Rock and some very nice restaurants nearby. The hosts were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was one of the best we had in Sri Lanka...lots of food and a nice variety of fresh fruits and Sri Lankan dishes.

    Stunning views all around, friendly staff, great pool, Shana was a great host. The location was perfect for climbing Sigiriya, but was not so central that you you missed out on spending time in nature. It was great for a weekend away from Colombo seeking peace and quiet.

    Great value for money. It was the cheapest place we stayed in Sri Lanka by a long stretch and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised with what you get for paying so little. Place is charming and cosy and clean, beds are comfortable, food is good, hosts are wonderful. Location is perfect for exploring Sigiriya and around it.

    Really quaint guesthouse right in the nature within walking distance to both the rock that overlooked Sigiriya and also Lions rock. The host Wasanti was just wonderful, with such a warm and helpful demeanour. We ended up eating there both nights as her cooking was so good.
