We enjoyed our stay. It is a rural location so have transport organised- set back from restaurants and main road- but close to everything. Good room, menu and amenities. The staff were excellent and very helpful.

We booked 3 nights in a deluxe double room - if that was the case I dread to think what their standard rooms were like.
Our room was damp and mouldy. Our clothes in the suitcases smelt damp. The room had big cobwebs everywhere. The ceiling fan was filthy. The bathroom had mould and the toilet brush was disgusting. The listing said it had mosquito nets but this was not the case.
The menu for dinner was limited with a lot of items unavailable. Breakfast was not good either again limited options and the cooked items were cold.
Of course I discussed the room situation with the staff but there wasn’t the option to move.
The staff did their best with organising tuk tuks and transfer to Negombo which we were thankful for. We decided to move on a day/night early to get away from the mould and damp.
The above makes us sound like divas but that is not the case. We are seasoned travellers and accept that accommodation in the forest/jungle of Sigiriya would not be 5 star especially when they have a lot of rain, but we would like to think the listing on this site would be representative of what we would get. By all accounts there are better places to stay close by, perhaps I didn’t look closely enough. Don’t make the same mistake we did!

Comfy beds and pillows. Air conditioning and fans worked well. Beds only have sheets on them so did get a little chilly. Hotel randomly turn the power off during the day. Bathroom had everything you needed but undecorated

Good Hotel near to Lion Rock

The hotel is in quiet location and monkeys play in the trees. Clean rooms, however, the pool area was a little tired and cushions needed a clean. There are five dogs on-site which are well behaved during the day, however, at night they howl at the monkeys - so be warned you may not get a full nights sleep!

Lovely setting with pool and beautiful garden. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was great. I thought this was good value for the price we paid.
Areas for improvement: no towles supplied initially (had to ask), lack of toiletries in the room (no hand soap), wifi does not work, food at restaurant quite expensive. We wanted to have two beds but the rooms have inbuilt king beds so there was a small uncomfortable single bed added. No room service unless you ask and provide your key.

Delist this property from Hotels.com

Terrible conditions in the room. There were bugs, old towels and torn bed sheets. Did not have adequate hot water. Faucet controls were falling off. One of two air conditioners was not working. Pool was not usable, the water was cloudy. This property should be delisted from hotels.com.

Property does not have a lot of staff and is not well maintained. The grounds are beautiful, but neglected. The property is also hard to access, down a dirt road for about a kilometer. So if you're without a car it is hard to leave in the evenings. When I was there the restaurant was dark and did not provide any service.

My husband and I thought this was really neat. It's almost as though we were in the middle of the jungle. Gorgeous garden and pool. You'll also see some monsters, frogs and lizard! Staff were very v friendly we arrived almost 10pm our first night and they were willing to serve us dinner! We were grateful after a long day with no food! We would recommend it if you're in sigiriya!

Good Hotel But Needs Better Management Maybe

The hotel was run a bit oddly. At check-in, we were brought to a room with the door already open and the air conditioning going. I had booked a room with a second bed, which this room did not have, so we were brought to another room with a second bed that also had the door open. As a result, there were some small flies in the room. Also, we did not realize until after the front desk had closed that there were no sheets provided for the second bed. We had to request those the next day. Also, the check-out process was a bit long and hectic. There seems to be some management issues. However, the staff was friendly. There was a slip-up on my part too, as the Wi-Fi was regularly not working. Due to our language barriers, I became frustrated at not understanding why the Wi-Fi was out. Sri Lanka is currently experiencing power outages in regions, so be prepared for this. It is not the fault of the hotel.

Nice hotel but away from main road and was not easy access. Once off the main road there is fairly descent dirt road up for awhile but once you turn off that there is single lane track which is slightly difficult in a wide car. First time in the dark it would be like driving into a jungle. But the welcome is nice. The bathrooms are dated with no ventilation after a shower. Don’t attempt to open the window unless you want to be attacked by mosquitoes.

Overall amazing location, pool, and food!

We loved staying at Flower Garden Eco Village! The hotel was new and beautiful. Our room was the most spacious we stayed in during our strip to Sri Lanka. The room was cleaned every day and had a great private porch. My only complaint would be that the shower curtain was moldy. The included breakfast was fantastic and dinner was also excellent with very good prices. We ate there every night! We also used this hotel to arrange all of our trips during our stay including from the airpot, Lion's rock, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, and to our next hotel in Kandy. The driver was very safe, the car was super comfortable and prices were very reasonable. The hotel is very close to local tourist sites and will help you arrange a quick tuk tuk to those as well. However, my favorite part of this place was the incredible pool. Very clean, spacious, and will plenty of lounge chairs to relax on. Totally recommend this hotel!

missed it by this much . . . ?

Staff was friendly and willing, but things seemed slightly disorganized. There was initial confusion about our reservation, and little details (e.g., \"open\" style shower lacked curtain that could be considered optional, but would have been convenient, and was present in some rooms) were missed. Smoking (or non-smoking) policy questionable at best. Although rooms were denoted \"non-smoking\", there were no designated smoking areas, so we were often forced to share space (including dining areas) with heavy smokers who must have felt compelled to light up in any place that wasn't clearly marked as off limits.

Truly an ECO resort with modern facilities.

We a family of 12 adults and 1 child stayed for 2 nights recently. Was a pleasant stay and the staffs there were exceptional. The rooms were spacious and the setting was really awesome. truly lived up to their name of Eco resort. So be prepared to come across insects and small animals.. :) Other than that it's a safe place to stay. Breakfast could have a better spread tho which was the only setback. Limited choice we would say. Besides that it was a fantastic stay.

Very comfortable and well-located oasis of calm

We thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay here. Rooms were large, clean and had everything we needed. They are straightforward rather than luxurious, albeit all have nice, spacious balconies looking onto or over the grounds. Staff were always helpful, prompt and welcoming - and the restaurant offers very nice eastern and western food at good value for money with excellent service. The site is compact, yet a lovely oasis of calm with many trees and plants, being centred around a nice pool that was always clean and a pleasure to swim in. The hotel is very well situated close to everything you will want to visit in this area, yet sufficiently off the beaten track to be genuinely restful also.

This was our last hotel in Sri Lanka. The bed was comfortable and there were complimentary drinks in the refrigerator. We found the staff to be very helpful when we needed a tuk tuk and again when we needed a car to the airport. They were also accommodating with a very late checkout since our flight left at 3am. It was about a 3 hour drive to the airport. I believe there was some mold on the walls in our room. But it was clean overall.

Slice of hell in Sigirya

This place was very cute online and looks exactly like the pictures here. However the receptionist was very stand offish and rude. The room was very moist and dusty, air con broke the last night we stayed. The window in the bathroom did not shut as bugs got in. There also isn’t any hot water... and the water pressure is horrible. The food is very overpriced and not much variety, also alcohol is very short here as they tend to say no to every advance at an alcoholic beverage. The only upside of this hotel is the pool and the restaurant servers. The only way one could enjoy this place was if the prices were lowered. Way too overpriced for the service and quality they provide.

Lovely staff and amazing food

The food at this hotel is amazing. Dinner was great and they gave you free starter and pudding with a main meal which made it good value for money. The staff were lovely and very attentive. We went on an incredible safari to Kaudalla and would highly recommend it - we saw more wildlife there than in udawalawe! Make sure you visit the small wood carving place just along the dirt track before the main road.

Brilliant location

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Beautiful ambience. Pleasant stay at this hotel. The hotel is set about half a km from the main road. Travel on a earth track road to the hotel. We had concern regarding the hotel when travelling on the non built road but were pleasantly surprised annartibing at the hotel. Was informed that the local council is going to build a proper road to reach the property, so that’s good news. In the nights this track of road is frequented by wild elephants, but tia is of no concern because the property is secured.

Scenic hotel around spacious lawn but a bit old

The hotel did not live up to expectations of its rank. For a place rated and priced at this level, I would not have expected a musty smell in all three of our rooms, and a #dead cockroach under our bed! Cleanliness is disappointing but aesthetics are great and the recent renovations are not bad.

Nice new hotel with a decent pool

A good place for a relaxing stay in Sigiriya. Good-sized rooms with nice balconies. Quiet location, so not right if you want to walk to local restaurants, but great if you have a car and driver. Food in the restaurant is good. Pool area is really nice, although the concrete gorilla is a bit odd. Owner's dog sometimes wanders round the dining area at mealtimes but that's a small quibble - generally this was better than I expected for this price.

An oasis hidden away

The oasis of Flower Garden Eco Village is at the end of a long dirt very bumpy road. My children were saying \"what have you booked\" as we were driving along this road. You will be extremely pleased as you enter the resort as it is very nice. The staff were helpful as we had a little unexpected visitor in our room that they had to remove. Food very nice. The pool was very nice after a long day.

The pool is cool and inviting and our 5 year old son loved that. We left our son’s treasured teddy bear behind and they were so kind and understanding and have offered to send this to us - lovely.
