Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Melrose villas is tucked away off the main road but still within walking distance / short tuk tuk ride away from village. Rooms are simple and it may take a while to find right temperature for the shower. But what really stands out is their great service, simple but freshly made meals and view of Sigiriya Rock in the distance.

Liked: Staff & service
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.
Really nice bungalows with very strong AC. The garden has a really nice view of Sigiriya rock. Good breakfast included, they also offer a decent buffet dinner.
Sigiriya Rock is about a 15 minute walk, whereas the main village area is a bit further. After visiting Sigiriya in the morning, we decided at the very last minute to catch the train from Habarana station (30 min drive from Sigiriya) to Colombo. We were struggling to contact a tuk-tuk driver with so little notice, so one of the employees offered to drive us in the hotel van, since he was already dropping off staff members in that direction. 10/10 service, very thankful.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Likes - Close to Nature, bird life, greenery.
Dislikes - No hot water for morning showers, Wi-fi very very weak (almost not working), Not adequate lighting in the room if you are a book reader, towels not changed everyday (Could get if asked - Not Sure), Basic breakfast and same menu everyday (asking for 3rd half fry egg, got reminded only 2 eggs allowed), staff with limited English language skills
Lovely staff and friendly owner. Who drove us to Lion rock early in the morning. Lovely breakfast rotis and eggs followed by toast and butter and jam them fruit and fruit juice. Bungalows were clean and tidy.

Come as a guest leave as the family - this is what you need to know, when you are choosing this place.
Such warmth and hospitable service throughout our one night at Melrose Villa. The room was recently decorated and in excellent condition. Would highly recommend.
A really good budget accommodation option. Rooms are large and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Good at dinner was great, breakfast OK. A very relaxed vibe.
Nous avons passé un super séjour, toute l'équipe est aux petits soins, l'endroit est calme et très bien situé, nous avons extrement bien mangé, Donald nous a conduit et s'est toujours montré très disponible, il nous a également organise l'après midi safari éléphant qui a été une superbe expérience ! Merci pour tout !!
