· Omg this place was insane! We chose a New room and it was so pretty there! Also, in the morning lot of birds on the tree just next to our door and I could see them from the window, I totally fall in love with this place. The owner of the hotel has great cooking skills as well and he offered to cook for us everyday which was absolutely amazing! Totally worth going there :) we are joining that owner to learn how to cooking Sri Lanka traditional foods.

Kostha was really nice and helped me a lot from the very beginning. He toured me around and really helped me a lot when I lost my camera. They also served very nice food especially for dinner. Kostha built everything on his own, he's so hardworking and really kind. If you need a chill place to stay this is the perfect place.

Located in Sigiriya village within 800 metres from Sigiriya Rock and 2 km from Pidurangala Rock. Sigiri Peace Hostel offers spacious and quiet rooms with private and shared bathrooms. The property has a common chilling area with a pond full of fish in the middle. Free WiFi and pickup from Sigiriya bus stop are available.

I truly liked the place - clean, simple, with delicious local food and beautiful sunsets. To see the Buddha statue in the temple "next door" is a true bliss. The owners of the hostel are super helpful with anything you need in Sigiriya and Sri Lanka - best food places, ordering tuk-tuks as well as safari and guiding tours.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Service was exceptional- the owner even gave me a lift to an ATM and helped arrange transport. Breakfast was alright too. The overall vibe is very nice and it’s close to a big hostel that has a bar and organises cheap excursions you can join. Location is a bit far from everything - but if you know that before coming it’s fine. Also had dinner at the restaurant. Food was alright but waiting time quite long.

Excellent really

    Just perfect - Roy has been able to build this amazing backpackers heaven offering different activities, family dinners all to produce a form of community! It is obviously not the cheapest hostel you can find but to be honest, it is completely worth it: the beds are extremely confortable, and Roy and his team will usually go out of their way so that you have a pleasant stay ❤️ I can’t thank them enough for this really great stay
