Kumbukgaha Villa

We stayed here while we were visiting nearby Sigiriya. It’s a fantastic place, remote and quiet but very nicely furnished and serviced. The staff were absolutely brilliant, and the food fantastic. Would definitely recommend!

This was certainly one of our favourite places to stay in Sri Lanka. The team were excellent and the rooms were lovely. There was plenty of wildlife around and great for birdwatching. The open air bathroom was unique and excellent addition. Special thank you to the team for making a special birthday even more of a special occasion.

Excellent service and a lovely place to visit!
We only visited for lunch which they arranged without any hassle. Staff is superb and we felt like visiting their home.
Will definetely stay next time.

What an awesomely relax place. Staff is very friendly. Had a nice time and good here. Highly recommended.

Nice peaceful environment. If you want to feel the natural beauty, this would be the best place in Sigiriya. Staff is nice. Villas are eye catching with open bathrooms.

Loved the villas for it's location and lush green sorounding. Beautiful property and great service. Very friendly staff. Private villa experience with our own deck facing lush green trees was blissful and relaxing.

Staff was incredibly helpful, The room was wonderful, clean, and perfect. Hotel is full of great art. Just a charming place. Had a wonderfull experience

Had an amazing time at this beautiful villa. We were lucky to be the only group at the villa, so we had the entire property to ourselves.

The rooms we stayed at were recently built. The interiors and architecture of the rooms were great. So many open spaces where you feel so very close to nature. The rooms all had outdoor showers. I'm personally very scared of bugs so I was a little apprehensive. We also left a few toiletries out by the sink which got wet when it rained overnight. No complaints other than that. The staff were so very warm and welcoming. The food was okay.

We were sorry to see such a beautiful villa be vacant. Hopefully will have guests stay in who will definitely appreciate the beauty of this property.

Kumbukgaha Villa is without a doubt one of the best hotels I've visited in the recent past. Upon our arrival, We were warmly welcomed by the manager Sampath and the rest of the staff (unfortunately, I do not remember all their names).

Each and every staff member went above and beyond to make sure all our requests/expectations were met throughout our stay with them.

Once again, I sincerely thank all the staff members at Kumbumgaha Villa for making our trip a memorable and great experience by paying attention to every little detail.

I highly recommend Kumbukgaha Villa and hope to visit them again!

Easily one of the best experiences that my family and I, along with my friends had! From the time of the reservation to the end of our stay, it was five-star treatment. Great ambience, with an amazing team of staff who were dedicated to give you that VIP treatment from the moment you enter the gate. The food was amazing, and the rooms were so beautiful. Once you enter, you get the same feeling as being in a five star resort! If you are a person that enjoys tranquillity, this would be the perfect get away.

Indeed a beautiful place with an absolutely amazing surroundings! Very clean and spacious rooms with good food

Very nice environment. Staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommended if you want to be away from busy life style and just relax.

Amazing service and kind and helpful staff. The Sri Lankan menu is fabulous and the scenery and large villas give you a tranquil experience.

Dear owner,

You should be proud of the beauty of your hotel as it made us relax.
You should be proud of you staff as they are very kind with exceptional hospitality.
You should be proud of your chef as I felt like I was eating home made food.

Dear travellers,
If you would like to experience calm and relaxed staying in a beautifully built villa this would be the place.

If you would like to experience the kindness and great hospitality this would be the place.

If you would like to experience the pure Sri Lankan tasty like home made food this would be the place.

Cleanliness: exceptional
Comfy bed
Great service

We are coming again!

Poorest customer service ever come across. The hotel management cancelled our booking just 1 day before booked date, leaving us in big trouble. Really unprofessional and irresponsible manner they are acting. Hotel won't survive for much longer if they are to continue this bad attitudes towards the customers! Pathetic customer service. Not recommended!

Nice place with friendly staff. Close to pidurangala rock and sigiriya. Tasty food and nice location.

10 out of 10 for this differentiated luxury stay experience deep in the midst of the jungle. Wake up to the music of birds serenading you. We even saw a wild elephant roaming the property grounds (which uprooted a power pole and disrupted electricity for a while).

Good food for dinner and breakfast. Amazing outdoor bathrooms (surrounded by tall walls for privacy). Good place for taking shots of the night sky due to its remoteness from city lights. Great initiative with the lighting to keep light pollution to a bare minimum.

Customer service is phenomenal and all the staff were going overboard to serve patrons with a smile.

Pricey, but worth the money.

On the negative side:
1. WiFi was horrible. This was true of out entire Sri Lanka trip and they stated that the issue was with the central provider, not their WiFi specifically. But I expect better when I am paying 150USD+ per night
2. Mosquitoes. You are in the middle of the jungle, so expect that. Don't know if it was just me, as my family felt none. Maybe these specific mosquitoes just didn't like me personally
3. Sometimes the staff was over eager to get your baggage to your rooms. It's great to be provided the "service", but sometimes you just DON'T want others to touch your bags (whether it is because you are carrying expensive equipment or because you are generally uncomfortable with the idea of other humans slaving for you when not required). They were just relentless in snatching all our bags away from us and carrying them to/from our rooms.

It's an amazing place. Love the architecture. You have to plan your trip before staying at this place. Because after 10.30 am the heat is ricing. The place is best in the morning and after 5pm. Nice place, I will plan another trip to this place soon.

The best place I've ever been.we simply enjoyed there. The food, service, accommodation were in the best level.

One of the best value places to stay in the cultural triangle. The staff are friendly, the food simple and good. You basically have a choice of huts that either look towards the arrival area or away from it and selection boils down to convenience versus privacy (the back 2 looking away are more private). A local tuk tuk driver was on hand to help (Prem) and he was helpful and knowledgeable too. Wi-fi was only available in the communal area but was reasonably fast. The room layout with eco bathroom was excellent and very comfortable. A fridge was provided too. The presence of pylons was forgivable.
