This was one of our highlights on our trip in Sri Lanka! The hideaway is beautiful and totally new! The big room is comfortable and very clean, located right next to a nice river. one can hear the sound of the river and birds/ animals in the night (great jungle feeling!) the host was soooo incredibly nice and welcoming and helped us out with our problems. Breakfast is delicious and in the morning you have a great view into the nature. This really was one of our best stays during our roundtrip and I would definitely stay here again! They also offer tours with a great tour guide into the Jungle (highly recommend!!)

One of the most beauiful guesthouse during our stay in Srí Lanka. It is super clean! The hosting family are so kind and helpful and the rainforest tour was absolutely the favorite part of my stay. They saw our sunburn and offered us fresh aloe vera to treat is. The view from the terrace is spectecular! I just hope I can visit this place again the future.

I'm a wildlife Photographer and I've been seeing Hemal as guide for several years now. He recently renovated the place as a guest house and it is fantastic. The place: The room was clean, AC and facilities are brand new and the view is exceptional! It is located a beautiful 10 minute walk from the park entrance, surrounded by green. And is directly next to the path that you would take for a night tour, which is a must in Sinharaja (And nobody is allowed to enter the Park at night). Hemal's wife is cooking and I doubt any of the luxury hotels near by will match the love and effort she put in every single meal. As it is common for Sri Lankan hospitality, they will always ask you if anything is missing or you have any special wishes and will drive to the nearest shop to buy it, without asking. The guide (Which is much more important in Sinharaja!): Hemal is known within the entire community as one who spots the most animals and knows so much about them. While all guides need to absolve basic training to become a guide, you can tell that he is truly passionate about the nature and he will tell you the English, Latin and partly the German names for most of the animals that we saw. You can also tell that he deeply respects the animals and the eco system and puts safety of you and the animals above anything. He grew up right in that village and he's is in the forest every day even on his days off so he always knows all the best spots!

The villa was beautifully designed, clean and comfortable, offering the perfect setting for relaxation. Nestled amidst tea estates, the location was both tranquil and rejuvenating. Situated between the Pitadeniya and Kurulugala entrances of the Sinharaja Forest Reserve. We absolutely loved the food. The staff’s warm hospitality and attentiveness truly elevated our experience, making it a stay to remember.

I stayed at Sinharaja Pitadeniya Hut in Lankagama during our research work in Sinharaja, and it was an excellent experience! The location is ideal—conveniently close to the main road and within easy access to both the Lankagama and Pitadeniya entrances of Sinharaja Forest Reserve. This made it very practical for our research activities. The food was another highlight. Breakfast was included in the price and featured authentic local dishes, which were both delicious and satisfying. The host was incredibly friendly and supportive, always ensuring we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The accommodation itself was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable environment to relax after a day of work. Overall, it’s a great place for anyone visiting the area, whether for research or leisure. Highly recommended!

Lovely place to stay, right on the edge or Sinharaja forest. This place is brand new so it doesn't have a lot of reviews yet, but don't let that turn you off as I'm sure it's going to have tons of great reviews soon! The house itself is brand nee and I think it's even nicer in person than in the pictures. You have absolutely gorgeous views of the rice fields from your patio- in the 3 days I was there I saw it in sun, fog, clouds and rain and all were beautiful! You might even spot wild peacocks or eagles. The food was great as well- breakfast is included and you can order other meals as needed. I did the forest tour with the owner. I had read many reviews from other people who were unhappy with the guides they got from the park entrance so I was happy to go with Prabath, who was recommended by a friend. He was very knowledgeable about the forest and really went out of his way to make sure I was happy. I opted for the longer (6 hour) tour and I was glad I did - gave me plenty of time to photograph all the animals we found, as well as swim and have lunch at a beautiful waterfall. You can even jump from the top of the falls if you're feeling adventurous! Don't expect to see large animals in the forest, but we spotted lots of lizards, bugs, snakes and even a mama bird feeding her babies and I was able to get some great photos. Thanks for everything!

We stayed in Ravindra’s cabin for 5 nights. We had an amazing time. The cabin is clean and cute, very comfortable bed, hot shower. It’s in a super authentic Sri Lankan village, surrounded by tea plants, just next to a river with a natural swimming pool. Most of the time you have the river all to yourself, sometimes you get to meet the locals which is a nice experience. The food Ravindra serves is amazing!! You get to taste some delicious and authentic rice and curry. It was a chance to discover some vegetables and fruit that we never tried. It’s definitely worth to book a wildlife tour of the Sinharaja Rainforest, we saw snakes, lizards, spiders, scorpions and monkeys. The tea factory is also worth a visit. Night walk in the jungle with Ravindra was also fun! All in all, an amazing experience. Sri Lanka is a beautiful island, make the effort to get off the beaten track and you will be rewarded. And Ravindra is a super friendly host, meeting him was just lovely.

This place is amazing! We totally fell in love wit this place. We booked the big family room upstairs and it is really big with a very nice balcony with amazing views on the river and jungle. The outside lounge bed/swing was favorite by our kids. Breakfast and diner was also great. The owners organised also a tour to Sinharaja rainforest for us with a very good guide. Cooling down in the river in front of the hotel with al the little waterfalls made it perfect. Very good value for your money!

    Close to Singharaja Rain forest. You have also some good tourist spots which everyone can enjoy. Choice of restaurants is less. All are basic with nothing flashy. If you are depending on public transportation it is well connected to Galle and Matara from where we can get Highway buses to Colombo. Not developed as a tourist place

    Great location for visiting the Sinharaja rainforest. Tour guide is arranged by the hosts. Great guide who can make gorgeous pictures and has a sharp eye for animal spotting. Beautiful swimming pool with fireflies. Definitely go swimming in the dark (in your phone light). Cute dogs. Good food by the mother for a fair price. Use a tuk tuk rather than taxi from Deniyaya, because the road is not suitable for a car. The host was kind enough to offer us a tuk tuk ride to our taxi driver. There are mosquito nets around the bed, use them!

    I had an awesome stay ! If you are a nature lover, this place is for you! Even the access with the pick up is an nice adventure, and you can also easily access to the village by feet with a really nice and short walk. They have contact with a guide that is very nice and knows a lot about the rainforest and its animals. They organised 3 tours for me with him and I loved it !! Really one of the best experience I did in Sri Lanka ! The room is very clean, they are cooking food on the hotel. Enjoy the view and the peacefulness!

    Janith and his wife are exceptionally nice hosts. They care for guests wishes and comfort. The place is new, well kept, and clean. Delicious food. Hotel organised our pick up and transfer to next destination. The Sinharaja tour was with an experienced guide who really cares for the forest. Don’t expect to see many animals, enjoy the nature, sounds of the forest, waterfalls and natural fish spa.
