Lakmini Lodge is calm and charming. Chandi and his family were very friendly & tried very hard to be helpful (if a little disorganised!). On arrival we were offered a home-made lemon juice in the tree house, which has a beautiful view of Sigiriya Rock. Our room was small and basic (as we were expecting) and this was reflected in...

Stayed just the one night and it served the purpose well. Very good accommodation and service comparative to the price. Just a 10min walk to Sigiriya Rock Fortress. Request breakfast to be served in the Tree-house that has great views of the Rock.

We had an excellent stay at Lakmini Lodge. The whole family loved the tree house with a beautiful view of the rock, and the joint dinners. The family is very helpful and we enjoyed our three nights very much. Thank you Chandi for an excellent stay!

You get a great homemade lemon juice for a start and the owner walks you to his garden. There you can climb up the treehouse with a Sigiriya Rock view from it. An owner is the most laid-back SriLankan I spoke to during my trip. Unlike some other hosts does not try to sell you stuff, but gives you tips... More

Stayed for 2 nights in one of the AC rooms. Rooms are basic but large and comfortable, with a hot shower which is always good. Dinner was good value although we had better elsewhere as we travelled onward through Sri Lanka. The view from the tree hut is beautiful and breakfast was very good and filling. Overall the lodge is... More

Even though the rooms are very basic (at least the cheaper ones, I am not sure about the more expensive ones) this is THE place to stay in Sigiriya. First of all, the owner is one of the nicest, most helpful people we met on our trip. We had trouble getting from Dambulla bc of unscrupulous tuk tuk drivers, and... More

This was one of the cheaper places to stay, but the rooms were large and airy and clean. The owner Chandi is a very nice man who will try to accommodate all of your needs. The food at dinner was good value but not spectacular cuisine. However, breakfast more than makes up for it as you sit in the Lodge's... More

Lakmini Lodge stands quite near to Sigiriya Rock ( short walk - 15 minutes) and you can easily get to Dambulla (or to the Golden Temple) by tuktuk and organize your visits to Pollonaruwa and Anhuradapura easily by bus, while staying here. From the location´s point of view it is good and also quiet for a good rest anytime during... More

all in all, it was a great value for our money. The room was clean, although basic - but if you are travelling with a tight budget, you cannot expect Hilton :-) We arrived in Sigiriya on a rainy morning and didn't have any umbrellas. When the owner's wife (they have a shop on the other side of the road)... More
