2nd visit and definitely not the last. Should be 5
Friendly and very service minded hotel. Top facilities and especially the pool and the restaurant are worth a stay. Rarely have we received such good service, which also goes to the reception and housekeeper. They all made a virtue out of a pleasant stay for us! We will definitely come again!
As the hotel name suggests the property is located away from the city's hustle and bustle :) you are immersed in nature and its beautiful surroundings. The staff were welcoming and our check in was quick and smooth. Rooms are spacious with all the necessary amenities. There was enough water pressure from the shower head regardless of the negative comments some guests experienced. Food at the restaurant was deeeeelicious and plenty of varieties from Sri Lankan to international cusines my kids enjoyed their dinner and breakfast (ages 4, 8 and 13) Pool was clean and inviting. Now to the spa i cannot thank Andhira enough she was amazing. I highly recommend guests to stay at Sigiriya Jungles if you are looking for peace and quiet in the middle of nature.
This hotel is a 3 star at best. Service was slow and the rooms tired and shabby. I found frogs in and around the toilet bowl as well as cockroaches and HUGE bugs in the bathroom. On the positive side I suppose the pool was nice and the open air restaurant had a safari kind of charm if you like dinning in the heat with the flies. Sorry but for me as a five star hotel this is a big fail!
A little bit of frustration as it could be a gem, but the attention to details in the room make it average.
Service was excellent, food was superb and properly priced, rooms were big and well designed, the flaw lies in the attention to details. Mosquito marks on the walls, cracks not plastered, gaps in doors that allowed bugs and animals (geckos and frogs) to come inside, mosquito net in shower room with wide gaps…I would be expecting this not to happen in a 4 star hotel

We staid three nights and think the hotel needs some kind of renovation. The staff has been fantastic and the people did their utmost to make our stay as pleasant as possible.
The rooms are old, humid, the food is bad, looks like is for big groups with nothing to do st the hotel, if you can consider other option
They even try to delete my review in google :/
Only one major issue. The first night of my stay the hotel moved housekeeping staff into the room above me late at night. The banging and the noise was ridiculous and when I went to the front desk at around 11:00 p.m. there was nobody there, no night staff. Hotel shouldn't be putting staff in the same quarters as paying customers.

Poor experience overall
The room wasn’t ready for 2pm check in despite the hotel contacting us 4hrs beforehand via WhatsApp. Payment was taken once we landed in the airport before we had even arrived at the property. Service was slow and the room was still dirty including the bathroom. There were 2 dead frogs in the room, which we flagged on day one. Upon returning after being out all day the room was not cleaned. We mentioned this as reception and went to the bar for 2hrs. After which it still had not been cleaned. Overall the experience was not great.
Själva miljön är väldigt mysig. Rummet uppfyllde inte våra förväntningar. Högljudd AC. Fläkten fungerade ej. Kylskåpet gick inte att öppna. Ofräsch odör i rummet. Grodor och ödlor i badrum.
Frukost ok, mycket god omelett och även kaffet. Kvällsmaten var också god, åt ala carte. Plus för golfbilarna för att slippa dra väskor i grusgångar.
Beautiful jungle setting with a lovely pool area. Good food. Small gym but nice. Spacious rooms and comfortable bed. Bathroom was nice but only had screen doors to the outside which made it quite hot.
Nôtre 2ème séjour dans cet hôtel : magnifique, très bien situé, au calme, une piscine de rêve. Le personnel est exceptionnel, toujours à nos cotés et se met en 4 pour nous rendre service. Nous recommandons très vivement cet établissement qui offrira un sejour inoubliable. Nous sommes partis le coeur serré...!
This hotel was devine1 It is in a lovely quiet location, the service and food was superb. We would recommend unreservedly.

Assez loin de Sigiriya ( village et Rock ). On ne savait pas en réservant . L’hôtel propose bien sur des tuk-tuks et taxis mais bien plus cher que suposé! Plusieurs bibittes et moustique dans la chambre malgré un choix de chambre climatisée. Donc propreté pas au top de ce qu’on attendait. Superbe complexe sinon. Personnel dévoué et excellente nourriture.
What was unique was the service where nothing was too much and always friendly. Taking 6 other people to SL with me I was so happy that they also felt the same as me about this resort. Well done to the team at the resort.
Also the food was fabulous for breakfast and dinner.
