Jaye Eco Lodge

Great hospitality and calm relaxing environment. Even I forgot my iPhone charger at the room and they quickly attended to it and couriered me. Will recommend this place to anyone.

Sehr schöne Lage, viel Grün,schöne Zimmer, sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Vermieter, gutes Frühstück.

Really nice and good place,

road is little bit damage

Eine glatte Zehn. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Sehr nette Betreuung durch die Eltern der Eigentümer. Das Essen war schmackhaft und reichlich... Man kann sich mit "Händen und Füßen" verständigen. Fragt nach Ausflügen, der Vater hat Kontakte. Wer kein eigenes Fahrzeug hat, ist ein wenig abgeschieden untergebracht, dafür ist es ruhig. Alles in allem gab es nichts negatives für uns

Nichts

Sehr nette Eltern vom Gastgeber. Leider konnten wir uns fast nicht verständigen da sie fast kein Englisch konnten. Aber sie haben alles gegeben, uns täglich mit einem anderen einheimischen Frühstück verwöhnt. Einmal hatten wir auch das Abendessen da, was sehr gut war. Die Lage ist etwas ausserhalb und sehr ruhig. Einen wunderschönen gepflegten Garten, riesengrosses, sauberes Zimmer.

Das Wlan funktionierte zur Zeit nicht.

Le lieu est très beau, les chambres sont spacieuses et très propres et surtout les parents de Jaye sont très accueillants et la cuisine est très bonne !

Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön in einem kleinem Wäldchen gelegen und super ausgestattet. Es gibt Klimaanlagen, Insektennetze und saubere Betten. Die GastgeberInnen sind super freundlich, obwohl sie kaum Englisch sprechen. Die Kommunikation hat trotzdem problemlos geklappt. Diese Unterkunft ist wirklich sehr zu empfehlen, wenn man in Habarana unterkommen möchte!

Jaye and his wife are excellent hosts. They were really friendly, helpful and super flexible with our requirements (check in, check out, meal times). They helped us arrange all the trips and gave a lot of good advice. Highly recommended!

Owners were really accommodating, we arrived late with takeaway and they provided plates and cutlery for us to eat in their restraunt. It is a 3 minute drive from the main road on a dirt track but not too much of a problem. Room was basic, but fine.

Shower was mildly warm

Die Unterkunft ist wie auf den Bildern zu sehen einfach gehalten. Dafür ist das Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis sehr gut. Über den Betten sind Moskitonetze vorhanden, was praktisch ist. Zudem gibt es auch Zimmer mit zwei Betten (und zwei Moskitonetze). Mit dem Tuktuk sind es ca. 5 Minuten zum Zentrum und den Restaurants. Man kann aber auch in der Unterkunft essen, was uns sehr geschmeckt hat.

Ein WLAN wurde uns nicht angeboten bzw. haben wir keines „gefunden“. Der WC-Deckel war zwar sauber, aber völlig verfärbt, was nicht so angenehm ist.

What a gem of a place! The couple are so sweet and caring. The meals are prepared almost entirely with produce from their little farm. They even took me on a little walk around the neighbourhood and introduced me to the neighbours. Absolutely gorgeous, amazing food, and outstanding value for money.

Nothing!

Sehr sauber und gepflegte Einrichtung. Es gibt Abendessen und Frühstück. Das Frühstück war weniger als wir es sonst gewohnt waren, aber gut. Die Besitzer sind sehr nett, sprechen aber leider kein Englisch. Mit Google Übersetzer und mit Hand und Fuß, klappt es aber!

Die Unterkunft ist ein wenig außerhalb von Habarana. Aber mit Tuktuk kommt man schnell zum Bahnhof oder zum Zentrum.

The place is so peaceful

Owner only speaks cingalese

It’s a rural idyll. Very kind and thoughtful hosts who couldn’t do enough for us. We were served a lovely Sri Lankan breakfast and evening meal. Some of the produce was from the garden. Would definitely recommend

The road immediately outside was muddy and impassable by car so we had to walk a short way, our host insisting on carrying our bags. Not really a hardship but a nuisance and out of their control.

Charming little guesthouse run by an elderly couple who have limited English skills but are always very friendly and helped to arrange a great elephant safri

Incredible place to stay! The room was very clean and the shower worked great with consistent hot water. The food was unbelievably good and the owners and their son are super friendly. It was a real pleasure to be able to stay here for a bunch of nights and would definitely stay again!

Lovely family who have a beautiful house in the countryside. It is a little walk out of town but easy to get a tuktuk from the main road. They gave us a lovely walk around the garden showing us all the fruit and plants they grow. We also had the best meal of our whole trip in Sri Lanka here for dinner, and two amazing breakfasts.

Nothing

beautifull location in nature, with a nice porch and chairs to enjoy the garden. Wild elephants can roam the garden at night. Very friendly and helpful owner. Clean spacious rooms. Near the house are ricefields and an elephant hospital.

La stanza, la posizione, la cena e la colazione ( The room, The dinner and The breakfast)

Nulla

A super friendly host that makes great food with garden grown ingredients, everything was clean and well equipped. Good spot to discover the sigirya environment. Do not hesitate to book a room if you want a peaceful stay.

We loved Jaye Eco Lodge. The family are super helpful, arranging all activities for us and also drove us to the center of town or for activities at very reasonable prices. We loved the breakfast and also bought all of our dinners there, which were a highlight of our trip. The garden is great for birdwatching and wildlife and you can walk a few minutes to see a couple of elephants at work and some rice paddies. The room was comfortable and spacious, with a nice shower (hot water was available but we never used it). It is a ways from the center, but what we most enjoyed was probably just the friendly, comfortable, and tranquil vibe.

Beautiful accommodation set in a tropical garden with exceptional hosts catering to our every whim. Also our own private access to an elephant breeding program and hospital within a 5 minute walk....

Beautiful place with amazing gardens but what made our stay extra special were the people. The family is extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Since we were travelling with babies we asked for mosquito nets and those were installed before we came. The home cooking was some of the best food we had on our trip and much better than any restaurant we tried in the area.

Nothing

The staff were very cocooperative. Room is spacious.

Access road is ssomewhat damaged. It's a public road and the Lodge is not responsible for its condition .

The staff were very friendly and the dinner was great. They even took our drink requests to get some colas for the next day. Breakfast was very filling and served at time of your choosing. They helped arrange a great safari as well. Beds were comfortable and had plenty of pillows. Bathroom was particularly clean and the property itself is beautiful.

The rooms really could use a mosquito net over the bed and more dusting overall to remove some cobwebs.

Very friendly host, well equipped rooms, in a beautiful environment.

In the last 500m the road to get there is a bit bumpy.

Excellent stay, good conditions, delicious food. I really recommend this place if you want to get rest and spend some time among the nature. It’s very peaceful and quiet there. Also a hosting family is so friendly and helpful.

Everything was great ! First the host was super friendly and arrange us many things, thank you again !!! The rooms are better than pictures, the garden with peacock and varans is amazing. It is worth the money 110% ! Meals are very good and very cheap, for backpackers like us it was super nice ! We extended for 2 days because it was so perfect !

Everything was great, if you really want to improve something it will be the diversity for meals if you stay for a long time.

Incredibly friendly host, the best dinner I have had in sri lanka, super spacious room, great beds and bathroom.

Great stay at Jaye Eco Lodge. Accommodation is very good - spacious and modern rooms, breakfast is delicious and hosts are extremely helpful. You need a tuk tuk or bike to get into Habarana central or to see Sigiriya/Dumbulla etc. But Sujeewa will happily organise this for you! I took the train into Damulla station and they organised a tuk tuk to be there to pick me up when I arrived.

One of the best places to stay in Habarana. Very peaceful experience.

Jaye Eco Lodge is a magical place. Lakmil and his family were incredible hosts and made sure we were comfortable from the moment we arrived. Every evening when we returned to the lodge and every morning at breakfast we were served delicious fresh juice from fruit grown in the owners home. Lakmil and his family were incredibly accommodating to our dietary requirements. We eat Kosher and brought our own cooking utensils from home, and Lakmil prepared a stove for us to cook every mealtime and provided us with delicious fresh vegetables and rice and spices so that we could cook. Lakmil gave us great recommendations of things to do in the area and organised all our transport by tuktuk with the amazing Charnaga! The lodge itself is beautiful surrounded by trees and so peaceful. Our room was large and decorated in a simple and lovely way. Overall we had an incredible experience and can’t recommend this place enough!

The host was very nice and helpful with everything we asked for. His parents were super friendly and kind. They prepared for us a delicious breakfast with so many options. They even got us a mosquito vaporizer. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. The surroundings were splendid, especially the garden where you could easily relax without anyone disturbing you. So far, it was our best stay in Sri Lanka. The only inconvenience is that the accomodation isn’t that close to the city center, but you can get a tuktuk ride or rent a scooter almost everywhere. Overall, if you’re looking for a calm place to stay, it’s the right choice.

Excellent and clean rooms, friendly and helpful host Sujeewa.

It was definitely worth the money! They had working A/C and Hot water which was very nice after long hours of travelling. The staff was super nice and went out of their way to provide meals.

I wish they had a restaurant with a menu, but since there were no guest and we did not book any meals I understand why they were not prepared.

mega good food nice garden friendly hosts real good prices!

I cannot fault Jaye Eco Lodge. It was a comfortable stay and the owners were so hospitable, and helpful. A tuk tuk was arranged for me as I arrived d late to the train station. The food was incredible too - huge portions and all cooked by the owner's parents and the rooms themselves well exceeded my expectations. Honestly cannot recommend this place enough - a great base for anyone visiting places like Sigiriya or Dambulla.

Very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting this area.

This lodge is located in a beautiful garden where you can spot many birds and even peacocks walking around. The room and hotel in general was very clean. The family who runs the lodge was super nice and made me delicious breakfasts and dinner and also arranged me a transport to Pidurangala rock. I had the most amazing time here and recommend everyone. Thank you very much!
