Vacation rentals in Girithale

Usha and Channa are the best hosts. Communication was perfect from beginning to end. The tree house is perfect. Very faithful photos and description. In addition to dinner and breakfast, the best so far. Thank you, Usha and Channa, for the amazing experience!

We had a fabulous stay! The view over Sigiriya Rock is spectacular and we loved being able to cool off in the pool. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Our host was very friendly and responsive. We would definitely recommend this place!

My family and I had a short but great stay! The host is proactive, helpful and friendly and gave us a lot of helpful recommendations. It’s very close to all the historical and religious sights which proved very useful too. Thank you Anasuya, we’ll definitely be back!

Great location, as superhost myself I cannot recommend enough. Cheers

Beautiful place with good service. Definitely worth a visit!

The Raintree Retreat is a real gem! The property is huge and therefore each bookable house comes with a lot of privacy. The nature is stunning with fishes, turtles, lizards, monkeys and so many exotic birds to watch (incl. Kingfishers). At nighttime we even saw many fireflies. And to our surprise there are hardly any moskitos thanks to the fishes. Beside this amazing nature-experience our highlight were the hosts and their utmost welcoming and caring manner. Sue and her husband are such lovely people and we enjoyed the time we spend together. Uthpala took us even to a nearby river and we had a dip in the fresh water together. Our kids loved it! On top of all that we were really blown away by the ultra yummy food. Home cooked srilankan dishes in the evening and a great breakfast, always trying to match our kids taste (not spicy and lots of waffles and pancakes ;-) Thanks again for making our holidays sooo great!

We loved our stay here. We are backpacking around Sri Lanka and wanted to try something different than hostels and this was perfect. Such an experience! Animal sounds to listen to at night. So many beautiful fireflies at night. Hashan was a good host. Good at communicating and helping where help was needed. Thank you for this experience!

Devika was an exceptional host—warm, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. Finding the place was easy, and from the moment we arrived, she made us feel right at home. The space was spotless and had a cozy, homely vibe that we truly appreciated. Devika went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, even providing refreshments on arrival, which was such a thoughtful touch. She was always available whenever we needed her, yet gave us plenty of space to relax. Staying at her place truly enriched our visit to the ancient city of Anuradhapura, and we’re so glad we chose to stay with her. We would absolutely recommend her place and hope to return in the future!

We enjoyed our 3 nights stay at Peter’s cabin. It gave us a wilderness feel without really being in the wild. The cabin is in the village very near the tourist town centre. The space is as the photos. The cabin was clean. The bed was comfortable enough for us. It can get warm in the day but the ceiling fan on full blast helps. Lion’s rock can be seen clearly from the cabin. Although Peter was not there, he was a great host who was friendly, responsive and made every effort to ensure we had a nice stay.
