Silver Hill Ecovillage

Hidden gem, loved the view.

Only 1 person speaks English, which sometimes makes it challenging. But nothing big.

Best location in Sri Lanka. Authentic and best food we tasted.

Difícil acceso

Scenery and silent environment

Condition of the road (last 500m)

Amazing place. Very quiet and pristine! Highly recommended!

La posizione completamente immersa nel verde, si sentiva solo la natura, l'accoglienza del proprietario, l'intimità delle poche camere, la cucina tipica molto buona e non piccante (da non sottovalutare in SriLanka)

Per gli standard europei un po più di pulizia in più non guasterebbe, ma ci si può un po adattare

Peaceful and beautiful place in the jungle, delicious food, nice hiking around, cooling natural pool, I wish we could stay longer.

El lugar es precioso, en mitad de la selva. Vista increíble, ruido precioso de la naturaleza. Las cabañas son sencillas y muy cómodas, tiene practicamente todo lo que necesitas. La comida es muy rica, típica de Sri Lanka y cocinada con verduras de sus tierras. Soy celiaca y la comida la adaptaron para mi, lo cuál es de agradecer. La zona del hall, muy bonita y confortable. La piscina natural renueva el agua todos los dias. Nos hospedamos en la villa con vistas al jardín, donde hay una pequeña piscina para nosotros, es magnifico darte un baño con esas vistas para ti solo. Lugar para desconectar y relajarte. El personal bastante servicial. Nos ayudaron con la bajada por el camino con el tuk tuk.

El camino para llegar es algo complicado, pero en todo momento te ayudan si lo necesitas, asi que no es del todo un problema.

Prachtige locatie! Onwaarschijnlijk lekker eten, het lekkerste dat we tot hier toe aten. Mooie kamer, gezellige mooie gezamenlijke ruimte, vriendelijk personeel.

Het is afgelegen, maar daar houden wij van. We reden zelf met een tuktuk en zowel de weg naar boven, als naar beneden, is eigenlijk te spannend. Maar ze kunnen je altijd helpen, dus op zich geen probleem.

It is a fantastic jungle retreat. Amazing food, kind people and the nature all around you.

None.

This is probably the most amazing place you can imagine. In the heart of the jungle. Only 5 rooms and a big general area. 2 natural water pools to swim in. Absolutely the best staff, Prasanna is the best host and the cook is making fresh local foods, mostly from the abundance of the jungle. We are Vegan and had plenty to eat! If you like quiet and secluded nature: Do yourself a huge favor and go there. Be aware that getting there is a little challenging. Easier by Tuktuk- the road is narrow and bumpy/steep! Definitely worth it! We miss it already Enjoy

The view and the natural pools were complete perfection. The food was so delicious. We adored every moment we were there

We didn’t know that they only accepted cash before arriving but the host arranged a tuktuk to take us to an atm. Food also needs to be ordered in advance- this wasn’t an issue but probably could have been made a little clearer. Despite all of this we adored every minute and were desperately sad to leave.

One of the best stays in Sri Lanka. Beautiful place, nice people. Very authentic to chill out. Nice walk in Nature with local village people. Amazing views and homemade meals. Perfect room with balcony to practice yoga. Paradise!

The location was very calm and quiet. Kind of gives the farm life experience which was comforting.

The path to the view point was not cleared.

Amazing getaway in what feels like the middle of the jungle. There is a natural pool with a great view and they serve delicious food that is grown in their own garden. The hosts are super friendly and they even gave us a tour of the garden where they grow all their produce. Would definitely recommend!

We loved everything at Silver Hill Ecovillage. The room, the views, the nature, the food and the natural pools. It was so peaceful and we really wished we could have stayed longer. Such a hidden gem that I hope more people get to experience!

Nothing. We liked it all.

Paikka on todella kaunis. Viidakon läpi on mahdollista kävellä joelle. Vaikka paikka on syrjässä, kävelymatkan päässä on pieniä elintarvikekauppoja. Huone oli ihana ja siisti, sängyt mukavat. Ihmettelen miksi jotkut ovat valittaneet huoneiden tasosta, sillä se oli parhaita joita Sri Lankassa näimme.

Ruoka oli todella kallista, eikä halpoja vaihtoehtoja ollut. Ei ollut mahdollista ottaa esim. neljälle hengelle kolmea illallista, koska hinta oli henkilökohtainen.

Absolument tout. L'endroit est hors du temps. Nous y sommes arrivés directement de l'aéroport. Dépaysement total garantie et un acceuil des plus chaleureux. Nous avons dormi au frais pourtant sans climatisation.

Le chemin pour s'y rendre est un peu scabreux mais cela fait parti de l'expérience pour de sentir dépaysé et immergé dans la foret sri Lankaise :)

Le calme du lieu !! Chose pas toujours facile à trouver au Sri Lanka 😅 . Les repas et boissons sont fait maison et vraiment délicieux.

Le dernier km pour y accéder est vraiment limite pour y accéder avec un tuktuk. L’épaisseur des matelas n’est pas à la hauteur du lieu.. Le prix des activités et des repas plutôt élevé…

Beautiful location in the middle of the jungle Very good communication with the owner Very good local food, made with vegetables from their garden The owner even shoewed ud the spice garden, which was very appreciated Would love to stay here again

We couldn't pay by card

Die Unterkunft liegt mitten in der Natur. Die Bungalows haben eine gemütliche Terrasse mit toller Aussicht auf die bewaldeten Berge der Umgebung. Der Vermieter zeigt viele verschiedene heimische Pflanzen, Gewürze und Tiere...

Man muss wissen, dass die Unterkunft abgeschieden in der Natur liegt und am Besten mit einem Tuc Tuc zu erreichen ist.

Prachtige ‘eco’-lokatie in de jungle. Privé bad bij je cabin gevuld met water uit de rivier, afkoelen met een geweldig uitzicht. Verse producten uit de tuin voor ontbijt, lunch en diner. Heerlijk eten. Hulpvaardige, super aardige host.

De weg er naar toe is een uitdaging. 🤣😱 Daardoor is het geen goede uitvalbasis om naburige tempels e.d. te bezoeken. Hikes door de jungle, naar bijvoorbeeld een hele oude tempel, wel weer heel bijzonder. Water mee!!!

Everything

Nothing

We had a great stay at Silver Hill Ecovillage and really wished we could have stayed longer. The place is right in the middle of the jungle, surrounded by banana and papaya trees – such a beautiful and unique spot. The food was amazing, both breakfast and dinner. Everything was fresh, tasty, and there was plenty of it – so come hungry! The staff were super friendly and always ready to help, and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. We can totally recommend this place if you’re looking for something special and memorable

Nothing. Everything was perfect!

This place is amazing if you are looking for a quiet, off the beaten track location where you can relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. The manager and staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is also good and made with love!

L’emplacement est génial et très dépaysant. Très calme pour se ressourcer et personnel très sympathique. Excellent repas.

Séjour que d’une journée, malheureusement la piscine n’était pas forcément accessible rapidement. Nous avons effectué une randonnée vers l’ancien temple mais nous avons été déçu du rapport qualité/prix car elle a été très vite effectuée, ce qui nous a fait déplacer notre agenda de la journée (/!\ peu d’accessibilité en taxi sur l’endroit).

The hotel is in an excellent location. In the middle of the jungle with a natural swimming pool

The hotel is very remote, which is actually very nice. Getting there is extremely inconvenient and adventurous.

Ein wunderschöner Ort inmitten der Natur Wenn man Ruhe sucht und die Natur genießen möchte, ist dieser Ort perfekt. Es gibt nichts rundherum, nur wunderschöne Bäume und eine friedliche Atmosphäre. Die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und freundlich, und das Essen war wirklich eines der besten, die ich in Sri Lanka gegessen habe. Der Pool ist mit frischem Flusswasser gefüllt und herrlich erfrischend, die Zimmer sind gemütlich und sauber. Der Weg dorthin ist etwas holprig, aber absolut machbar – wir haben es sogar mit unserem eigenen TukTuk geschafft. Insgesamt ein wunderbarer Platz zum Entspannen – sehr empfehlenswert, ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen.

Prachtige locatie. We hadden een huisje met twee slaapkamers met een groot terras, met uitzicht op het oerwoud. De maaltijden aten we op een gezamenlijk overdekt terras, ook met prachtig uitzicht. Het zwembad is klein, maar het is wel een infinity pool, met hetzelfde fantastische uitzicht. Wel fris want het water komt uit de bergen. Vriendelijke staf, lekker eten! We hebben een wandeling gemaakt met een gids uit het dorp, naar een tempel in aanbouw op de top van een berg. Mooi uitzicht. Op de terugweg heeft hij ons een hele oude rotstempel laten zien, hij had de sleutel.

Midden in de nacht werden we wakker van een rat! Gelukkig ging hij er snel vandoor. De oplossing is simpel: leg een steen op het rooster van het afvoerputje in de badkamer. Er zijn meer dieren in de kamer omdat de ruimte niet afgesloten is: kleine kikker, miljoenpoot, gekko. Goede klamboes. We wilden voor donker aankomen maar het was bij de leeuwenrots in Sigiriya zo druk dat dat niet lukte. Het laatste deel van de weg was spannend, steeds meer kuilen, de chauffeur was bang dat hij vast zou lopen. Op een gegeven momentje kom je bij een hek. Dan moet je de weg volgen links van het hek en dan ben je er bijna. Wij hebben vanaf daar gelopen, het is echt een heel klein stukje. Maar dat weet je niet want het is er pikdonker. De accommodatie is net om de bocht. Bij daglicht is duidelijk dat het prima te doen is. Gebruik de routebeschrijving die bij de foto’s staat.

Es ist eine wunderschöne Anlage mitten im Dschungel, genau richtig zum Entspannen. Der Inhaber war super nett und hat uns viel über die Pflanzen, Gewürze und Früchte in seinem Garten erklärt.

Der Komfort der Betten war nicht so gut.

We visited silver hill Ecovillage for 2 nights to relax before driving back to Negombo and fly out of the country. It was a great idea for relaxation and organising ourselves. The place is truly the last house on the hill and it is peaceful and full of vegetation. There is a small pool with natural water which is nice to cool yourself down, I loved the hammocks in the kitchen area with the amazing view where I read my book. If you decided to go please pet Lassi, the cutest dog ever. She’s nice and playful and made us smile many times😀 Just a note about the road going there - be mindful that the road closer to the hotel is not paved and a bit rocky but we managed to cross it with our Tuktuk.

The location and views are absolutely stunning.

Bottle costs 1500 LKR, better come prepaired with your own supplies.

Das Essen was man dazubuchen kann, ist super lecker! Und die Aussicht ist Traumhaft. Jedoch sollte man sich bewusst sein, dass die Strasse dahin sehr abenteuerlich ist und der Fahrer darauf vorbereitet sein sollte. Man kann auch über den Hotelbesitzer eine Fahrt arrangieren. Diese Fahren wissen dann Bescheid. Und eines ist sicher: Die abenteuerliche Fahrt lohnt sich sehr! :)

Lage, Dschungel, Aussicht, Pool, Frühstück, Abendessen, Bungalows, Sonnenuntergang

Der Weg zur Unterkunft war abenteuerlich. Es war unser erster Tag mit eigenem Tuktuk, deshalb war die Anreise eine kleine Herausforderung.

God beliggenhed ! Super personale

Lidt besværligt at komme til

This is what you want if you are looking for a jungle experience. Beautiful place with delicious and fresh food straight from their own garden. Hosts and very kind and helpful people. Hiking the mountain where the local people from the village build a temple every Sunday was priceless.

Beautiful location. If you want to get away from all the touristy spots this is your place! The natural swimming pool is very nice.

Nous avons tout aimé dans ce logement. Il s’agissait de notre 1ère nuit au Sri Lanka et quel dépaysement! La piscine qui donne sur la jungle est vraiment belle, le personnel est adorable, le propriétaire se plie en 4 pour que vous passiez un bon moment. Nous avons adoré également le repas et le petit déjeuner. Les enfants (qui sont grands et autonomes) logeaient plus haut dans un lodge avec une vue incroyable... Nous étions quant à nous devant une piscine attenante à la grande piscine. Tout était parfait. J’ai lu qu’il n’y avait pas d’eau chaude dans les commentaires, ce qui est faux. Il suffit de bien allumer le chauffe eau. L’accès est difficile en revanche et il faut appeler avant pour prévoir un tuk tuk. Dépaysement assuré sur le trajet 😄 Ça se mérite!

Rien

Heel mooie plek in het midden van de jungle. Echt een aanrader!

You get an authentic experience that truly reflects the charm of the place. We requested an upgrade to a room with an outdoor bathtub, and they gave it to us at no extra cost. A dip in the bathtub during sunset was magical and so romantic a moment we'll never forget. The food was brilliant honestly the best we've had in Sri Lanka. It's cooked using cinnamon wood, which adds a subtle cinnamon flavour and a beautiful smokiness.

Should have stayed for at least 3 days

So beautiful at night, listening to the sounds of animals and watching the stars in the night sky. We absolutely loved the food – it was amazing – and the lemon iced tea and cocktails were perfect. An absolute must if you're travelling to Sri Lanka!

We stayed at the bungalow with the best view and an outdoor bathtub—it was absolutely magical. We spent three unforgettable days here, and it was by far the best part of our trip to Sri Lanka. We had complete freedom, and the entire place has a romantic, almost dreamlike feel. Every evening, we soaked in the bathtub, watching the sunset with a drink in hand. It felt like a second honeymoon. Truly mesmerising.

Silver Hill Ecovillage is a peaceful, eco-friendly retreat deep in the jungle, surrounded by nature, wildlife, and stunning views. The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming, offering jungle hikes, village visits, and hands-on cooking experiences. The food is amazing, with fresh, local ingredients and unique Sri Lankan dishes served throughout the day. Accommodation is clean, spacious, and even lets you sleep outdoors on the terrace under the stars—mosquito-free and perfectly comfortable. Tip: If you're a group of 4 or more, book the two-room bungalows. All bungalows are separate from each other, offering extra space and privacy. Most guests extend their stay—as we did. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a true cultural and nature experience you won’t forget.

Everything was perfect. Food, views, bungalows and staff 5 star

We had a lovely time at Silver Hill Ecovillage. The bungalows are individual units, giving you privacy and freedom, and all have beautiful mountain views. The whole place is unbelievably calm and friendly. After spending many days in busy tourist spots around Sri Lanka, it felt like stepping into a different world. This is a truly authentic Sri Lankan experience that everyone should have at least once in their lifetime. We requested a different bungalow than the one we originally booked, and they happily gave us the one we wanted. We recommend calling them directly when booking, as some other guests did, so they can help match you with the most suitable bungalow for your group. It’s a bit hard to tell which one fits best just from the website descriptions. Also, they have a bungalow with an outdoor bathtub, which looked amazing. Sadly, it was already booked during our stay. Hopefully next time! And the food was amazing — honestly the best we had in Sri Lanka.

We stayed in one of the new eco-friendly bungalows and it was amazing. The view from the window and the verandah was just stunning — you wake up to greenery and birds, and it’s so peaceful. All the bungalows are separate too, so you get your own space and privacy, which we really appreciated. This was honestly the most relaxing and friendly place we found in our entire 3-week holiday in Sri Lanka. The whole place has such a calm, welcoming vibe, and you can tell a lot of love has gone into it. It just feels good to be there. You really need at least 3 days to fully enjoy everything, slow down, and soak up the atmosphere — so don’t hesitate to spend 3 or more days if you can. We left feeling totally refreshed and already want to come back!

Silver Hill Ecovillage is honestly one of the most peaceful, inspiring places I’ve ever been. It’s tucked away in nature, full of greenery, birdsong, and good vibes. You instantly feel like you’ve stepped into a slower, more grounded way of living. The people here are super welcoming and down-to-earth. There’s a real sense of community, and it’s easy to feel at home—even if you’ve just arrived. Whether you're helping out on the farm, walking through the forest paths, or chilling by the freshwater pool, it just feels right. One useful tip: get a driver recommended by Silver Hill or organised by them. Our driver didn’t use Google Maps and had a hard time finding the place—even though it’s super easy to locate with Google Maps. A lot of Sri Lankan drivers just don’t use navigation apps, so it’s best to go with someone familiar. Also, don’t be put off by any complaints from the driver about the road. It’s their job to get you there! Our driver moaned the whole way but had zero issues getting right up to the ecolodge. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay longer, breathe deeper, and maybe even rethink how you live. Can’t recommend it enough if you need a break from the noise or just want to be around good people in a beautiful setting.

Should have stayed longer

Beautiful place! A little out of the way, but worth it when you get there! Very peaceful and a great place to relax. The pool was lovely

Amazing location, hospitality, service, staff and the best food. Super friendly, polite and generous people. For your expectations! Remember that you are going to stay in eco-place in the jungle

This was our best accommodation in Sri Lanka. Getting there wasn't easy, but we and our tuktuk made it. The view from the terrace over the jungle is simply magnificent. The infinity pool provides a nice way to cool off. Breakfast and dinner were very good. Some of the ingredients come from the resort's own garden. We would come back anytime.

Nothing

Great pool and wonderful view

From the very first moment, we felt genuinely welcome at this beautiful estate, nestled in lush greenery and surrounded by spice, fruit, and vegetable plants. The owner and his team are lovely and try to accommodate you as well as possible. What makes this place even more special is its support for the local village community. You can enjoy delicious, authentic Sri Lankan meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A range of activities is offered, including village tours and scenic hikes through the beautiful surrounding nature. I’ve rarely felt so relaxed, completely immersed in the peaceful natural setting. The rooms are clean and comfortable, though understandably quite basic due to the remote location. We will definitely be back!

The manager told us a lot of interesting things about the surrounding farm. We also did a hike to the viewpoint with a guide from the village which was really nice. Accomodation was very nice with good views. Last but not least, we had dinner at the location and it was the best one we had during our entire Sri Lanka trip.

I cycled up to the Silver Hill Ecovillage and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Prosanna is a hospitable and engaging host. He kindly lent me his binoculars for some amazing birdwatching. The immediate views from the rooms and terrace are spectacular. His staff are very kindly attentive and prepared some wonderfully healthy home cooked food using locally grown produce. I was impressed with the outstanding scenery and unique location of the Silver Hill Ecovillage. I am so pleased and privileged to have had the chance to stay at this tranquil and mellow

Amazing place! Definitely worth the trip off the beaten track. Local villagers so friendly and this ecovillage grows everything themselves. The food is amazing! We wish we had time for the cooking class. Very well designed with many common areas that you always feel you have private space with amazing views.

After a bumpy ride you arrive in paradise! Totally worth it and great value for money.

Nothing I can think of, everything was perfect

GREAT

THE HOSTS, THE FOOD, THE LOCATION

Friendly staff. Tasty food. Seeing nature and many birds.

The food we had was incredible. The location was so serene and peaceful. The staff are exceptional, very friendly and so accomodating. Such a relaxing experience that leaves you feeling refreshed. Will be returning for sure.

Silver Hill Ecovillage is an oasis of calm, nature, and kindness. Nestled within many acres of edible and medicinal plants, Prosanna and his team do everything they can to make you feel welcome and comfortable. He even took the time to tell us about the different species of plant and their properties, uses, and benefits. We hiked to the nearby temple which was an atmospheric, guided walk to a 360 degree viewpoint - it was stunning. The bed was comfortable, there was hot water, and the pool was refreshingly supplied by the river. But most impressive of all (aside from the epic views) was the incredible food!! From farm to fork in a matter of minutes, turned into beautiful dishes with real interest and flavour! I'd not hesitate to recommend this place for a relaxed, quiet, and restorative stay.

Peace and serenity! Awesome views...lovely food..lovely staff..a great place to stop for a couple of nights...half way between Kandy and Sigiriya.

Just be aware it's up high in the jungle hills...so a trip to Kandy is a bit far! But that's my fault for not really looking at location! Lol The pools are fed by river water...bit murky?

We had a wonderful stay at the Ecovillage. The room was comfortable, the food was excellent, the staff were very friendly & the views were amazing! We did the temple hike and although it was overcast, rainy & misty so we didn’t have a great view from the top, it was lovely to just be in the jungle. We loved that the eco village employs local people, it is an eco-friendly and ethical place to stay, highly recommend

No bed sheets

The stay is in the middle of the jungle, and that’s what makes it very unique and appealing. The host grows many fruits and trees themselves which they use to prepare local/organic food. Very friendly host, thank you for the pleasant stay. We wish we could’ve stayed for a few more days.

We took the Google Maps route to the property and ended up going off-road for quite some while. So make sure you contact the host so they can provide you with a better route which only has about 500 meters of off-road.

This was a little piece of jungle paradise. With home cooked meals, fantastic views and wonderfully accommodating staff we could not ask for more.

Nothing. It was just perfect.

Beautiful mountain view, quiet location to unwind, very nice food

No descriptions of how difficult it is to access, especially with your own vehicles. The pictures are a bit misleading, it is simpler than it looks. Might be child friendly, not so much Toddler friendly.

Everything was perfect

Looking for an overhyped, underwhelming experience? Then Silver Hill Ecovillage is exactly where you shouldn't go! If you want to live with nature in a place like no other—a tropical paradise that feels like an idyllic escape—you won’t find a better place than Silver Hill Ecovillage. As for the accommodations? They offer comfortable beds in beautifully designed buildings made with mud walls that blend seamlessly with nature. With solar lights illuminating the path, you’ll appreciate their commitment to sustainability while enjoying a cozy atmosphere. The food? You’ll get the best Sri Lankan food, all organic and grown onsite with their sustainable agriculture practices. If you're into fresh, healthy eating and knowing exactly where your meals come from, you’ll be thrilled. And let’s not forget the sustainable building designs—they create a unique charm that sets this place apart from typical resorts. They even have a fresh water pool, in case you were hoping for some chemically treated swimming. Oh, and the harmony with the local villages and nature? It's so strong, they're focused on improving the livelihoods of the community while providing a truly enriching experience for guests. In short, if you prefer plastic cutlery, air-conditioned hotel rooms, and not having to think about nature or sustainability, I’d suggest staying far, far away from Silver Hill Ecovillage!

We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation! The food was absolutely fantastic – everything is freshly cooked. The food is only sourced from our own garden or from the nearby village. We were especially impressed with the traditional dishes. A special highlight was the short garden tour where we were shown which spices grow in this area and how they are used. It was so interesting to learn more about the local plants. We also had the chance to take a short hike through the jungle to a nearby temple. The scenery along the way was beautiful and made the adventure even more special. The view from the accommodation is breathtaking, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the day. Overall, it was an amazing stay that we highly recommend to everyone!

I spent an incredible week at Silver Hill Ecovillage, and it was truly unforgettable! If you’re looking for a place to escape and reconnect with nature, this is it. Stargazing: I loved lying outside at night, soaking in the breathtaking views of the stars—it's something you don’t get to see in the city! Firefly Watching: The fireflies dancing around added a magical touch to the evenings. Tea in the Rain: There’s nothing quite like sipping warm tea while listening to the soothing sounds of rain on the roof. Sounds of Nature: I fell asleep to the peaceful sounds of frogs and rustling leaves—it was incredibly calming. Nature Walks: I enjoyed long walks through the lush surroundings, exploring all the beauty that nature has to offer. Birdwatching: There were so many colorful birds! It felt like I was in a nature documentary. Special Sri Lankan Treats: The traditional Sri Lankan snacks were a highlight! Every meal was a delicious treat. Feel at Home: The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming; it really felt like home away from home. No Restrictions: I loved the freedom to explore and connect with nature at my own pace. Visit the Temple: I took a serene trip to a nearby temple, which added a nice cultural touch to my stay. Sunrise and Sunset Views: Watching the sun rise and set over the landscape was a breathtaking experience. Meditate: I found a peaceful spot to meditate in the mornings—such a great way to start the day! Cook in the Kitchen with Firewood: Cooking meals over a firewood stove was a fun and unique experience. Community Gatherings: Participating in community events made me feel connected to everyone around me. If you’re seeking a true escape into nature and a break from the usual hotel scene, I highly recommend spending a week at Silver Hill Ecovillage. Just be prepared for a simple, rustic experience that celebrates sustainability and community!

Best place we've stayed so far in Sri Lanka! Perfect place to reconnect with nature and you're supporting a good cause in the meantime.

Unspoilt natural beauty of a typical Sri Lankan village. Healthy and yummy food cooked with locally sourced fragrant spices. Friendly, helpful staff with a wealth of knowledge about the local history.

Loved everything about it.

This is my second time at Silver Hill Ecovillage, and I absolutely love it. You can reconnect with nature, and the place is so serene. The views of the jungle stretch as far as the eye can see. I spent 7 days this time and visited the temple, explored the village, and roamed around the spice forest, which was amazing. I used the transport provided by Silver Hill, and our guide, Mo, was fabulous and very engaging. During my first visit, I took a taxi from the airport, but the driver couldn't follow Google Maps, complained throughout the trip, and it really spoiled our enthusiasm. My advice is to have Silver Hill organize a taxi for you. If you're using your own taxi, keep in mind that drivers and guides may complain about the roads and location, as they are more accustomed to mainstream tourist destinations. Also, taxi drivers may ask for extra money with various excuses, so be prepared to avoid letting it spoil your holiday. This happened to three groups while I was there, and they all wished they had asked Silver Hill to arrange transportation. The food is amazing, the staff are friendly, and you feel welcomed from the moment you step in. The atmosphere is informal, and you're free to enjoy the place without any restrictions. I thoroughly recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience authentic hospitality, food, and nature off the beaten track.

Everything was perfect!

The location was great if your wanting a more remote jungle/mountain experience. The views were stunning and it was very peaceful. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Very small remote resort with the best jungle view we had during our trip. Food is home made and tasted very nice. Did a walk to the top of a hill and on the way we visited a hidden cave temple from the same period as the golden temple in Dambulla. Very special. Fantastic view at the top of the hill.

The beds are a bit hard for me..

Silver Hill exceeded our expectations, so we extended our stay to 6 nights. The food is remarkable, making it the best place we've stayed in Sri Lanka and the ideal spot to experience the country's cuisine and nature. The cocktails were so tasty we had one with every meal. Highly recommend this place. The price is very reasonable, offering an authentic experience without the hustle and bustle of tourist areas.

Nothing at all

Beautiful location away from the bustle, with only nature sounds. Nice food with lots of variety - let them know if you dont want it tourist bland. Peace and quiet.

No shelf or table in the room so you needed to live out of your bags. Bed a bit firm.

Peaceful, peaceful. Only birds and water sounds. Mesmerising view. Great place to relax and decompress. Lovely host who is very passionate about his organic farm. Large meal portions but you need to ask for spicy if you don't want tourist level flavour.

Thecroom is a little spartan - could benefit from some shelving. Bed one of the least comfortable in our 2 months touring.

Absolutely stunning place. Great food and friendly host. A bit out of the way through a rough road but worth it!

This spot in Sri Lanka? It's top-notch and so relaxing. The food's out of this world, the vibe's chill, and the hikes? Unreal. Love the cocktails. Don't skip the temple hike; it's a must-do. Plan to hang around for at least three days to soak up all the goodness. They arranged a taxi from the airport for Rs 20,000 with an English-speaking driver, and the journey was smooth

This is the best place in Sri Lanka for us. Best food, environment, and hikes! Tips: Try the Tropical fruit Mojitos, unbelievably refreshing. Get Silver Hill to arrange transport. We didn't have any issues with the transport provided by Silver Hill, but other guests had issues with the taxi they got from the Airport directly. Go on the temple hike. Spend at least 3 days to experience the place fully.

This was a unique and amazing property high in the jungle. The natural water swimming pool was the best pool of the trip-it did have frogs but that added to the experience. It was an infinity pool that overlooked the jungle. The food was also first class. Dinner was made by locals in an outdoor kitchen. We had seven different dishes with a lot of the food from the gardens of the property. The host was very friendly.

There was a very long winding, steep road up to the property. We had rented a Tuk Tuk and drove it up the path. It did make it but be aware that it may be difficult.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The hotel surpassed our expectations! The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The common areas are also very comfortable. But what makes this place special is the peace and beautiful surroundings. On top of that, the food is beyond delicious, with completely different dishes at every meal. If you're looking for something off the beaten track, look no further.

This is an absolute gem in the jungle, the place is so beautifully designed and we were taken care of so well. The owner is great, he is like your favorite biology teacher showing all that nature in the area has to offer. All employees are so kind and the food they offered was delicious and creative. Because the pool is filled with water from the river, it has cool water temperature which was so enjoyable in the jungle heat. Highly recommended!
