We accidentally found this fabulous hotel due to sudden change of our vacation plan. Hotel is located in very calm quiet area within 10 km from Sigiriya local ticketing office. We had an unexpectedly wonderful time in the hotel. The staff were very welcoming and supportive. Hotel has two well maintained pools and beautiful restaurant. Room and the whole hotel was very clean. Foods are so delicious as well. Highly recommend for couples or anyone would like to spend true relax time before or...

Great staff who made my trip to Sigiriya an excellent one. Location is good - quiet, but still close to where you want to be. Nice breakfast both mornings.

It’s hard to do justice to this masterpiece by famed architect Geoffrey Bawa. Part Kipling, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Oscar Niemeyer? What an amazing experience, with stunning views over beautiful landscape from balconies and terraces that blend into the vines and trees. Uniformly friendly and engaging staff, and one of the best breakfast buffets in the country only add to the property’s luster. On day two I awoke early and opened the door to the balcony, then layed back down in bed to enjoy...

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at Otunna Guesthouse. We came in later then anticipated, and Dinesh, the owner, was in constant contact with us. They offered fresh passionfruit juice on arrival, and made the most delicious breakfast every morning that was probably the best spread all trip. Even though we already had many activities already planned, he offered any help as needed. What I really love about it is the serenity. It is close enough to restaurants, but far away enough from the main drag...

Staff very friendly and helpful. Food and drinks are good to very good. The pool is wonderful and the grounds well kept.
Beware the guides and venders and Tuc tuc drivers at Sigiriya Rock. They will overcharge dramatically if allowed. You need to be good at bargaining in Sri Lanka. (Which I am not but learning quick). Agree on price in advance. Ask hotel manager or staff for help. Don't be afraid to use the bus. I found it fun to ride and easy to catch and a super bargain.

Listen people- this place is AMAZING!!! Like living in a dream, not less.
It is isolated from any noise, in the nature. If we only knew, we would stay there for a week minimum!
The rooms are so special that I can’t describe- beautiful, air conditioned and comfortable.
Breakfast was great and the staff was really amazing.
When you book a room, contact the property and book also the village tour & safari. You will get a great full day package.
I will definitely go back there!

Of all of the places we stayed in Sri Lanka, we most enjoyed our time here. The staff, service, facilities, and food were wonderful. This is an oasis and a fantastic place to stay during your visit to Sigiriya. Check out time is 12:00, which is perfect for an early morning climb in Sigiriya with a delicious breakfast and swim in the pool to relax before moving on.

This property is pretty unique in its location, away from "the rest of the world". You really are in nature, surrounded by nothing else than rice paddies, lake, and such a variety of birds. It is peaceful, staff are very friendly and helpful, food is excellent and will accommodate vegetarian and gluten free needs. There is nothing I can fault our experience on!

The property was set just about 2mins from the main highway, making it very quiet. We loved that we couldn't hear any vehicles at all.
The property was filled with lots of trees and we could hear and see peacocks many times during the day freely roaming around.
The restaurant was very clean and spacious. We liked the breakfast very much. The staff was very courteous as well.
The room was very spacious and clean as well, and had everything we needed.
Overall, very happy with this property....
