Do not choose this place! Under no circumstances! We had the worst experience in all of Sri Lanka. At first, the place seemed kind of decent but on second look, everything was dirty. We had a massive cockroach on the back of our pillow. I know, roaches are common in Sri Lanka but having one on your pillow is a whole different matter. Sadly there was no one at the premises who could help us. No staff at all. We decided to leave the place that night and did not sleep there. The owner agreed to give us a refund but to this day we haven’t received anything. When we asked he had all kinds of excuses and was really condescending to my girlfriend. Sigirya has much better places to stay.

Worst experience in all of Sri Lanka

Stayed for one night. I was able to get that room for a very low price.
The beds were very comfortable. No food is provided and tea was provided as per our request.
Water supply in the bathrooms was limited. Soap is not provided.

In particular, the owner requests to hand over to keep the national identity cards of those coming to stay with him. Otherwise,giving accommodation will be refused. (Bad service )

According to Sri Lankan law, it is illegal to alienate and keep national identity cards.

If you are staying, discuss it with the owner before  booking about keeping NIC.

Poor service

Incredibly hospitable owner who goes the extra mile whenever you ask for help to ensure a pleasant stay. Proper breakfast with a stunning view over the UNESCO protected sigiriya rock. Decent wifi and showers and airconditioning available in both rooms we booked. Even were allowed to use the neighboring hotel’s pool on a very hot day. Overall a very pleasant stay I’d recommend.

Breathtaking views

If you are looking for a nice place to stay this is where you need to go. The staff is incredibly nice, their service is off the charts. Their tar race where you eat breakfast has a perfect view of lions rock/Sigiriya rock. All in all a 10/10 stay s

Best service In all of sri lanka

Booked this venue via booking.com the owner intimidated me and another local guest into cancelling our booking while at the venue. He refused to provide toilet paper on our first night as it was requested for late - although it’s something every washroom should include ! Breakfast which was Rs570 consisted of only string hoppers, dhal, coconut sambol and 1 boiled egg per person. No water or juice was served. Tea and coffee was offered , so we ordered to later find out when paying the bill that it goes as extra items - which we ended up having to pay for. We’ve stayed at better budget hotels around Sri Lanka  before have never been so disappointed or intimidated. This is by far the only venue that has intimidated us into finding another accommodation for our 2nd night in Sigiriya . Despite paying the owner for 2nights he went in to fuss that he cancelled other bookings which I don’t think is true considering the venue was mostly empty and we paid for the night and meal we were not even going to be present for!!? 
The venue although praised for cleanliness had sheets with red blood like stains and yellow stains too. Kashyapa Kingdom view is located in a great location, with an amazing view but if this is the treatment local guests have to endure — it’s not worth sighting as there are much better properties in the vicinity.

Intimidating and Unfriendly Owner

When we arrived there was nobody to welcome us. After waiting for 30 minutes we asked the neigbour if he knew where the owners were. Gladly, someone was coming. Then, the electricity wasn't working until 5 which meant that we couldn't use the fan while the room was unbelievably hot. The next day, the room was still too hot so we asked for the remote for the aircon (which we paid extra for of course), no problem! However, when we returned to our room after dinner, the aircon wasn't working... Again, we couldn't find anyone at the homestay and after calling 3 times someone showed up after 20 minutes. The problem was that they had switched off the power to the aircon in the entire building. Also, during our entire stay, we had to pay precisely as they did not have any change. 

Besides the bad service, the room, location and beds were fine!

Bad service but good rooms

It's a bit of a walk to Lion's Rock (20 minutes to the entrance) but very private and pleasant if you don't mind the hassle of walking out to the main road. Has an amazing view and the owner's wife was very attentive to all our queries and requests.

Cosy place with great value for money

" + "
- close to restaurants
- calm
- super friendly and helpful staff
- really cool terrasse with a view over the rock

" - "
- Please put a net over the windows so it could be possible to refresh the air in morning without being afraid of mosquitos
- Stinks in the bathroom, please put something over the manhole
- the mosquitos net over the bed was so weirdly installed, it could touch our heads and feet during the night, so, a mosquito could eat me during the night but from the other side of the net 😆
- Average breakfast > I suggest to trade the industrial western toasts with a roti or traditional bread, the rest of the breakfast is ok. 



Cool place but not that good

Very friendly and helpfull owner. Breakfast was very good and overall just a nice place to stay! Can highly recommend it since the price is also pretty cheap. Also they have a nice view of Lions Rock and a nice restaurant integrated! Friendly greetings from Germany!:)

Very nice Stay

This family run place has a great view on Lion’s Rock. The staff, all family, are very friendly and helpful. The building is still partially under construction. The beds are guite hard and our airco didn’t have a remote control so it didn’t work. They do not serve alcoholic drinks so take some with you ...
