Bardzo ciekawe miejsce aby spędzić tam jedną noc. Drewniane szałasy które właściciel zrobi samemu dają niezzwykły klimat. I pomocni. Okazało się że mieli kilkuletnie dziecko tak jak my więc nasz syn miał kolegę do zabawy. Na miejscu można zamówić domowy, dobry obiad. Polecam spróbować nocleg w tym miejscu
Trochę na uboczu i ciężko było trafić; na szczęście pomogli nam lokalnie mieszkańcy, właściciel po nas wyjechał motorem. Dodatkowo w nocy miał dość mocny wiatr, co przy dachu ze strzechy dawało się we znaki bo było słychać mocny szum i trudno było spać zwłaszcza u góry. No ale też miało to swój urok, trzeba pamiętać że to to nie hotel Ani glamping, a lokalna bardzo przyjemna chatka w lesie.
This was the perfect nature escape I was looking for, away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds. I felt taken care of immediately. It was so peaceful, lots of birds to watch and nature to gaze at. The hosts were so friendly, including their 10 month year old baby boy - so sweet! Every meal was delicious. Thusan took me and some other guests to a river near by to cool off on a hot day. I had a wonderful stay for two nights, and would definitely come back in the future.
für Abenteuerlustige eine coole Sache. Wir haben 2 Nächte dort verbracht & das war ausreichend. Die Unterkunft ist recht schwer zu finden und mit dem Auto kommt man dort nicht ganz hin. Von der Lage her etwas außerhalb aber für ein cooles authentisches Erlebnis bei den Locals eine gute Sache. Man muss sich nur bewusst sein, dass es etwas anderes ist:) Die Inhaber sind total lieb und kochen leckeres Essen!
Nice, cozy and calm place. Friendly owner And tasty dinner And breakfast.
Top locatie, rust, heerlijk vers eten en supper vriendelijke mensen

Un pur moment de bien être dans ce logement !! Pas de réseau pour une déconnexion totale au milieu de la nature. Réveil avec le bruit des oiseaux, excellent petit déjeuner Thushan est un hôtel très gentil et agréable, il nous a amené nous baigner dans une rivière à 20 minutes à pied du logement, petit havre de paix. Allez y vous ne serez pas déçus
Lovely quiet spot, sweet family and the manager who took us swimming and to his uncle for a chat and drinks.
Nothing much.
The location is hidden at the edge of the forest, cute, comfortable and cozy cabins with a very rustic and unique vibe. Doesn't feel like a hotel chain, more homely. The food is lovely and the owner very positive
Everything was excellent, this place is nice to sit and relax in nature but not much to do around this specific area in terms of tourism, just have to go out a little bit
Hele vriendelijke eigenaar Back to basics in alle rust. Fijne accommodatie Zalige regendouche Lekker eten!
Niet zo proper. Er is geen internet (voor ons geen probleem)
The huts where you stay are beautiful from the outside and cozy from the inside. Beautiful location and stunning views. Thushan, the host, is the best ever!! He's so friendly and accommodating, and took us on his motorbike in the morning to go for a swim in the nearby river which was a true highlight of our trip. Brought us a lovely breakfast in the morning and dinner in the evening. A 10/10 stay, you have to come and stay here!!
super clean, best staff and the food was great! overall it was perfect!

We had a great welcoming. The family there was super nice. the dinner was really tasty and copious after a long journey visiting the entire cite. The room was really clean and spacious.
We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful place. The little house is very beautiful and creatively built, and we loved sitting outside and watching all the birds in the day and the fireflies at night. The food prepared by Thushan's wife is some of the most delicious food we've eaten in Sri Lanka, and for a very good price. Thushan was a wonderful host, from picking us up and dropping us off at the bus stop on his motorbike, to taking us on an adventure to see the local sights. We loved visiting the nearby temple ruins, and cooling off in the waterfall afterwards. I would highly recommend this place as a stop off between Dambulla and Kandy, or a base to explore the Dambulla region. If you want to get away from the busy tourist areas and experience excellent Sri Lankan hospitality, this is the place!
The staff is very friendly. Nature food.
The road to the Place
best place I have ever stayed!! in the beautifull and peacefull environment it was a perfect place to ground and relax. The host is truly amazing, he took me on a hike to see the mountain vieuw and cooked the best authentic food:)
Probably the best accommodation we have had during our stay in Sri Lanka ! We loved everything about this place! Perfect location to relax (you ll hear the sound of birds on the morning), very cute little house for 2 people, comfortable and well decorated. Good food, and last but not least, an incredible host! Thank you Tushan for your warm welcome and for the morning hike. We highly recommend this place!
Loved everything
The hose Thushan was really helpful and kind. He always made sure that we can have relaxing time in there. He helped us to borrow a tuk-tuk and gave us even a tour. We got to visit local place around. It was not just about place to sleep. It was appreciating the nature, trying homemade local food. The breakfast and dinner (with small extra fee) were amazing. The host does his best to make guests enjoying the place. And the place itself is beautiful. So beautiful…

The Staff is very friendly. Get a Awesome experience, Delicious Food and nice place
The hospitality was exceptional. The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, ensuring that every moment of my stay was comfortable and memorable. The accommodations were not only cozy but also beautifully integrated into the environment, with stunning views right outside the window. Whether you’re a nature lover, a hiker, or just someone looking to recharge, The Forest Edge is the perfect place.
A very remote and romantic location to escape to. We drove a rented tuk tuk there and it was easy to find despite its location. Upon arrival we were greeted and welcomed warmly by the husband and wife who run the property. The food they provide is excellent and it is great to sit outside in the evening to watch the wildlife.
in the middle of the forest, pure nature, there are animals like frogs, monkeys, cows and birds. NAtural hut with no AC, just fans and roof ventilation. Very unique style. Breakfast and hospitality was great
Just come without expectations. You will be amazed and pleasantly surprised. It is not for people searching for luxury or extra comfort but for a unique experience
A magical place run by great people. We booked one night here, but we really enjoyed it and stayed here another night. A place surrounded by nature, about 20 minutes from Dambulla. The guys are really helpful, even for a super dinner in the forest or to get to the top of the mountain opposite! A great family <3
We checked into forest lodge and were welcomed with Sri Lankan tea and sweet treats, immediately we felt welcomed! The accommodation was amazing even better than the photos and super clean. We had both dinner and breakfast here and both homemade and delicious. In the morning we were taken on a trek and saw sunrise! Nothing was too much here and we had the best time! Would highly recommend
My recent stay at The Forest Edge Hotel was an enchanting escape into tranquility. Nestled in a serene area, this hotel offers a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of city life. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with the warmth of rural hospitality and the allure of village charm. One of the highlights of my stay was undoubtedly the breakfast. The spread offered at The Forest Edge Hotel is simply delightful. From freshly baked pastries to hearty omelets, there was something to satisfy every palate. The quality of ingredients and the attention to detail truly set this breakfast apart, making it a memorable start to each day of my stay. The ambiance of the hotel exudes a cozy village feeling, allowing guests to unwind and reconnect with nature. Surrounded by lush greenery and tranquil surroundings, I found myself immersed in a sense of peace and relaxation throughout my stay. It's the perfect retreat for those seeking a break from the chaos of urban life.
