Rain Forest Star

Beautiful room in beautiful surroundings. I had such a peaceful time staying here — the hosts really went the extra mile to make sure every need was cared for. Prabath is also an excellent forest guide. Highly recommended if you are looking for a peaceful base to explore Sinharaja.

辛哈拉加的行程是我在斯里兰卡最精彩的一天。我们选择的是五个瀑布的行程，完全值得这个价钱。我们看到了竹叶青，大蜥蜴，树蛙，螃蟹，神奇的各种虫子，向导基本上是贴着这些动物帮我拍摄了很多精彩的照片，哈哈哈。我们还在最后一个瀑布体验了鱼疗，并且我在渡河回来的时候摔了一跤，所以顺便在瀑布下游泳了，真是非常棒的经历。向导是一个非常可爱的人，同时他也是房东。我们前一天从乌达瓦拉维开车过来，特别难开，很晚才到，他也很有耐心。在旅途中他很健谈，而且英语很好！我觉得这很重要。昨天我们在乌达瓦拉维的向导英语不好，这让我们损失了很多有趣的东西。而他可以用简单的语言让我听懂他的科普，我们沟通完全没有问题，甚至还可以自然地开玩笑。我们的交流也让我感受到斯里兰卡与中国的诸多不同，非常有趣。其中最有趣的就是在斯里兰卡人眼中的毒蘑菇在我的家乡却是普通的菜，哈哈哈。向导告诉我们这是第二次有中国人来他的民宿，看来我需要帮他宣传一下了。另外，我们住的房间装修非常好，我不知道这是房东的设计还是专门请了设计师，简直像是大酒店的艺术房间。而且整洁的让我想睡在地板上，哈哈哈。有一本名为《Worth Protecting》的画册放在床头，这本书太棒了，讲解了斯里兰卡的很多动植物。我来不及看完，所以拍下了它的每一页。还有一本房客评语，可惜我没有来及写。就是大家过河一定要注意一点，穿一个防滑的鞋子，我摔了一跤，当时没什么事，后来有点严重。我们走的时候参观了家里，小孩子们非常可爱，妻子也很温柔的帮我上药。好在我的腿两天后就恢复了，这依然是一个完美的行程:)

完全没有

Чистота уют красивый вид, доброжелательные хозяева

Нет такого

La vue sur la campagne est très jolie. Le design de la chambre spacieuse est OK. Le rapport qualité-prix est OK.

En fait ce n'est pas un hôtel. Le couple de propriétaires a fait construire, à côté de leur maison, un bâtiment pour héberger des touristes. Il y a donc une seule chambre...C'est situé près d'une entrée de la réserve de Sinharaja. Pas la plus intéressante pour découvrir la faune aviaire.

Alles war perfekt! Die Wohnung, die Sauberkeit, die Besitzer, die Gegend! Falls ihr einen Trip hierher schafft, dann macht das unbedingt! Wir hatten die beste Tour mit Prabath (Besutzer) durch den wunderschönen Rainforest in dem er quasi groß geworden ist! 10/10

Nichts, alles war absolut perfekt!

Die Gastgeber waren super lieb und hilfsbereit. Wir haben eine Tour mit unseren Host gemacht, und haben dabei viel über den Regenwald gelernt und hatten unfassbar viel Spaß. Zudem haben wir frühstück und Abendessen in der Unterkunft gegessen was wirklich köstlich war, auch auf Allergien und andere Wünsche bzw des Essens haben sie super geholfen und Alternativen angeboten. Ich kann die Unterkunft nur wärmstens Empfehlen, wenn man ein bisschen Ruhe in der Natur braucht. Wirklich eine ganz tolle Familie.

Nichts

Sehr modernes und schönes Zimmer! Gute Lage im Grünen und fußläufig zum Regenwald-Eingang. Die Tour in den Regenwald wurde direkt vom Host der Unterkunft geleitet und hat uns gut gefallen! Wir haben viele Tiere gesehen! Außerdem gab es ein leckeres Frühstück und Mangos aus dem eigenen Garten.

J’ai adoré mon séjour au Rain Forest Star! Je n’avais pris qu’une nuit, j’aurai du en prendre plusieurs. La chambre est très grande et très bien équipée. Les hôtes sont adorables et ont tout fait pour rendre mon séjour inoubliable! Je suis partie 1/2 journée dans la forêt avec mon hôte et c’était incroyable ! J’en garderai un souvenir incroyable pour toujours :) Le calme, la vue, les délicieux repas, mon expérience dans la jungle, je n’oublierai jamais! Je vous recommande cet établissement ++++++

Rien

Die mit Abstand schönste Unterkunft während unserer drei wöchigen Sri Lanka Reise! Das Zimmer (eigentlich ein eigener Bugalow in wunderschönem Garten mit leckerem Mangobaum) einfach nur toll mit schönem Ausblick und das Badezimmer war premium. Prabath und seine Familie sind unglaublich gastfreundlich und sind sehr bemüht den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu machen! Wir wurden mit einem sehr leckeren Smoothie begrüßt und uns wurden alle Wünsche erfüllt. Die Tour durch den Regenwald mit Prabath als Guide war unglaublich! Er hat ein super gutes Auge und Gespür, wenn es darum geht die Tiere im Wald aufzuspüren! Wir haben super viel gesehen und tolle Fotos mitnehmen können. Sogar insgesamt 6 Schlangen, viele andere Reptilien, Vögel, Affen und schöne Pflanzen. Inklusive baden an einem wunderschönen Wasserfall. Danke für alles! Hoffentlich schaffen wir es irgendwann wieder hier her.

Host Always there to help with anything

The way is little hard But that also good experience

Fabulous overall. The owner gave us a guided walk through the jungle and we saw tons of wildlife. The food was also phenomenal- highly recommend the kottu and the pepper curry chicken.

We had the most incredible stay and honestly couldn’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, Prabath and his wife were unbelievably generous and welcoming. The homemade food was absolutely delicious, with the curry and hoppers being our favourites. One of the highlights was the rainforest walk with Prabath, it exceeded all expectations. We saw two types of monkeys, blue-nosed lizards, many birds, snakes, and even a giant blue scorpion. He always knew exactly where to look. We also loved our conversations and finished the walk with a relaxing swim in a waterfall which was perfect. Also Prabath provided leech socks which put us as ease. The room itself was very comfortable, clean, and surrounded by nature. Sitting on the terrace listening to the sounds of the rainforest and watching birds (our favourites being the kingfishers and bee-eaters) was so beautiful and peaceful. At night, you can even see fireflies in a nearby tree, which felt truly magical. This was without a doubt our favourite stay of the trip, perhaps ever, and we only wish we could have stayed longer. If you love nature, wildlife, peace, and the calming sounds of the rainforest, this place is absolutely for you. Thank you Prabath and family, from Somer and Gee.

Very nice, quiet place with a nice, caring host. The house is big and tidy. The host is also a guide, so one can sign up for a tour right away. Hiring the host is worth the money if you want to have something more than "walk inside the forest" - he cares about explaining everything and really puts his effort into locating some animals.

The breakfast could have been bigger, but it was still tasty.

Wonderful place! Room was spacious, very clean and had everything to make our stay comfortable. The view from the window and terrace is beautiful, was very relaxing to sit and watch the peaceful village and the many birds on the field. We also loved that we got few very sweet dogs joining our chill time at the terrace, such animal company is always welcomed! :) Owners were friendly and welcoming. Their homecooked meals were delicious! Sadly we had only one night here, would've enjoyed to stay longer. But we will definitely come back and I can truly recommend this place to everyone who wants a lovely stay near Sinharaja Forest!

The bed was too soft for someone dealing with backpain, but this is of course a preference matter.

The hosts were so kind and helpful. Lodging is located near entrance to the forest. Probath was an excellent guide and is passionate about natue. His wife, Tikiri was an excellent cook and family was so sweet. Highly recommend.

Прекрасный дом и замечательные хозяева. Обязательно поужинайте у ребят, у его жены золотые руки. А сам хозяин дома очень позитивный, веселый и добрый человек. Желаю ребятам удачи!

This is a clean accommodation and well located for walks in the rainforest. The hosts are Prabath and his wife who are welcoming, generous and helpful who want to make your experience in the rainforest an authentic and enjoyable. We enjoyed the food and hospitality offered by his wife. The guided walks with Prabath were informative and very reasonably priced compared with other guides from other properties. He was good company and knew what he was doing, pointing out wildlife of interest to us along the walk and taking us to some great waterfalls, off the beaten track, close to his home. We really enjoyed our stay which gave us the real feel of the rainforest

We would have liked a bit more shade in the seating area outside but this would bot stop us from returning .

Wij hebben hier een heerlijk verblijf gehad. De kamer is zeer ruim en beschikt over een aparte, prachtige badkamer. De host, Prabath, is een ontzettend vrolijke en gastvrije gastheer die er alles aan doet om het je naar de zin te maken. Samen met zijn vrouw bereidt hij de allerlekkerste maaltijden. Ook leerde hij ons op een leuke manier hoe je Sri Lankaans eten op de juiste manier eet. Daarnaast is Prabath een fantastische gids in het regenwoud. Wij hebben bij hem de watervallentour geboekt, die je langs meerdere prachtige watervallen brengt. Bij de laatste waterval kun je zwemmen en genieten van een heerlijke lunch. Tijdens het gidsen neemt Prabath alle tijd. Waar andere gidsen soms snel doorlopen, staat hij juist stil bij de kleinste details. Dankzij zijn scherpe oog hebben wij verschillende slangen, hagedissen, apen en prachtige vogelsoorten gezien die wij zelf nooit hadden opgemerkt. Prabath spreekt goed Engels en is een echte expert in het spotten van dieren. Hij maakte bovendien schitterende foto’s met onze eigen telefoons en legde ons geduldig uit hoe wij zelf ook zulke mooie foto’s kunnen maken. Hij gebruikt functies waarvan wij niet eens wisten dat ze bestonden! Wij komen bij een volgend bezoek aan Sri Lanka zeker terug en zullen dan zonder twijfel een van zijn andere tours boeken. Wij hadden ons geen betere gids én geen beter verblijf kunnen wensen!

デニヤヤを訪れるなら、100％おすすめしたい素敵なお宿です。滞在して後悔することは絶対にありません！！ お部屋は写真で見る以上に美しく、とても清潔で、到着した瞬間から心地よく過ごすことができました。オーナーのパラバスさんと奥様、そして彼らの子供たちはとてもフレンドリーで、滞在中いつも温かく気にかけてくださり、まるで家族のように迎えていただきました。 こちらでは、世界遺産のシンハラジャ森林保護区へのツアーも開催されています。パラバスさんは森や生き物についてとても詳しく、楽しくお話ししながらゆっくり案内してくれます。おかげで私たちはたくさんの貴重な生き物に出会うことができ、忘れられない体験になりました！ぜひここでのツアーを楽しんでください！ そして何より、朝食の時間が本当に贅沢です。鳥の声と美しい景色を眺めながらいただく朝食は格別で、最高の1日をスタートできます。 デニヤヤでの滞在を特別な思い出にしてくれる、心からおすすめしたいお宿です。また皆さんに会いに訪れる日を、今から楽しみにしています！

Het huisje was mooi en schoon en de locatie was schitterend. Vanaf het terras kijk je over de rijstvelden heen naar de bergen. Rondom het huisje zie je soms leguanen, vogels en apen. De familie was ontzettend lief en gastvrij en wilde het ons met alles naar de zin maken. Prabath verzorgt ook tochten door het regenwoud en zijn vrouw kookt de heerlijkste maaltijden. Dikke 10!

This is not just a room, it's a cozy tiny-house with an excellent bathroom. Bring your binoculairs and spend some hours on the peaceful terras to watch birds. Prabath and his lovely family are very welcoming people. The food is great and Prabath is a guide in the rainforest so he can provide a very nice tour for you! Do realise it takes about 30 minutes to drive to the entrance of the rainforest. I found going there on the motorbike an adventure on its own, with lots of beautiful nature on the way too.

Nothing.

Wat we kregen was meer dan we verwachtten: de kamer is eigenlijk een heel huisje. De familie heeft voor de gasten een huisje op het terrein staan met een fijn bed, een prachtige badkamer en veel ruimte. Het is dan wel een homestay, maar je hebt veel privacy, ook op je terras met prachtig uitzicht over de rijstvelden. Het ontbijt en het avondeten dat je naar keuze kunt krijgen is ook heel goed. Verder is de familie erg aardig en neemt Prabath je graag mee als gids. Hij kijkt voortdurend om zich heen en ziet dieren die je zelf nooit gevonden zou hebben. Het was een fijn verblijf, waar je kunt genieten van de 'geluiden van de stilte'. Wat een prachtige en rustige omgeving!

Peacocks dancing, feathers open, kingfishers, without leaving my verandah. Room is a high standard, beautifully designed for comfort views and light. Prabath and his family will go out of their way to ensure you have the best experience .. incredible guide and host. And photographer.

J’ai adoré séjourner à Rain Forest star. Prabath et sa famille ont tout fait pour rendre mon séjour inoubliable. Prabath a été mon guide lors de la visite de Rain Forest. J’ai adoré son investissement et son envie de partager ses connaissances… Je garde un souvenir ému de notre soirée à longuement discuter sur la terrasse. J’espère avoir le plaisir de revoir Prabath et sa famille.

Ne pas être resté plus longtemps…

Прекрасное место и замечательные хозяева!!!Завтраки это просто шедевр!!!!Очень уютный дом в котором все до мелочей идеально,мягкое полотенце,кровать и подушки!современный дизайн и новый ремонт!! Хозяевам этого дома я бы тоже поставил высокую оценку за все что они делают!!!)))

Che dire...è un luogo di pace dove rimanere più di una notte immersi tra i suoni della natura, coccolati dai proprietari. La sig.ra è un'ottima chef ed il marito una bravissima guida che ci ha portate alla scoperta della foresta pluviale mostrandoci quello che il nostro occhio non riusciva nemmeno ad immaginare che fosse ad un palmo dal nostro naso. La camera è grande, pulita e superfunzionale. Lo consiglio a mani basse!

Host Prabat und seine Frau sind super sympathische und herzliche Gastgeber. Das Zimmer (eigentlich ein kleiner Bungalow) ist sehr geschmackvoll und geräumig. Das Bad war das schönste unserer dreiwöchigen Reise. Von der kleinen Terasse hat man eine schöne Aussicht. Reis und Curry waren sehr lecker und reichlich und auch das Frühstück war gut. Preis-Leistung ist top! Das wahre Highlight war aber die von Prabat angebotene Tour im Regenwald. Er hat einen echten Adlerblick und ist unheimlich bemüht, viele Tiere aufzuspüren. Wir wahen 7 Schlangen, zahlreiche Echsen und Frösche, Tolle Vögel, Tausendfüssler sowieso … Prabat hat uns viel Zeit zum Fotografieren gelassen und er wollte wirklich, dass die Tour für uns ein tolles Erlebnis ist. Bei der von ihm empfohlenen Wasserfall-Tourfährt man nach dem Besuch eines ersten Wasserfalls zu einem etwas abgelegenen Eingang zum Regenwald, wo recht wenige andere Touren unterwegs sind. Der Rundweg ist toll, Lunch gibt es an einem herrlichen Wasserfall und am Ende der Tour kann man in einer herrlichen Gumpe an einem weiteren Wasserfall baden. Nicht erschrecken, wenn ihr eure Füße ins Wasser haltet ;-) Alles in allem ein fantastisches Erlebnis. Vielen Dank,

Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt. Das Zimmer war schön eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Besonders die Jungle-Tour war ein highlight. Der Guide war unglaublich freundlich, aufmerksam und hat uns viele spannende Dinge erklärt. Auch das Essen war lecker und frisch zubereitet. Ein ganz besonderer Dank geht an den Besitzer: Als mein Partner krank wurde, hat er uns mitten in der Nacht Wasser gebracht und sogar angeboten, uns zum Arzt zu fahren. Wir haben uns sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt.

nichts :)

Wonderful place to stay! A real highlight of my trip. Thank Clean and comfortable room, amazing view and kind, welcoming hosts. Delivered home-cooked food available on request in the evenings. The real highlight is the excellent rainforest trek led by the host Prabath. I was lucky enough to see many unusual species endemic to this area of Sri Lanka. A wonderful experience.

Wat een gezellige familie. Ontbijt en diner waren heerlijk. De kamer modern en ruim met een mooie badkamer met warme douche. Het uitzicht is ook geweldig. De eigenaar is ook gids en heeft me een dag meegenomen op de motor. Eerst naar een waterval buiten de jungle, daarna een jungletocht naar meerdere watervallen. Onderweg zagen we slangen, andere kleine reptielen, kikkertjes, spinnen, enzovoorts. Het was geweldig! En ja, het is REGENwoud, dus het kan regenen.

Our stay at Rainforest Star Accommodation near the Sinharaja Rain Forest was truly unforgettable. Prabath and his lovely family welcomed us with such warmth and care – always checking in to make sure we were comfortable, well-fed, and had everything we needed. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the jungle. The food was a highlight – delicious home-cooked meals made with love and local ingredients. The rainforest walk arranged by Prabath was a real standout. We were guided by an expert who had a deep knowledge of the forest and helped us spot rare birds, insects, reptiles, medicinal plants, and even a waterfall. It was an immersive and educational experience we’ll never forget – a must-do if you’re visiting the area. Adding to the magic, Prabath told us about a nearby Poya celebration and parade in a local village and arranged a tuk tuk so we could attend. It turned out to be one of the most special experiences of our trip – a beautiful, authentic cultural event filled with music, colour, and friendly smiling locals. We were the only tourists there and felt completely welcomed. Prabath and his family are wonderful ambassadors for Sri Lanka – generous, genuine, and full of heart. If you want to experience the true essence of the country – its nature, culture, and hospitality – this is the place to stay. Highly recommended!

Nothing

Couldn’t fault our stay at rain forest star. Exceptional service an unforgettable experience. Your family and the food was perfection would recommend to anyone!

If you’re looking for a reason to book your stay at Rain Forest Star… THIS IS IT!! I was greeted with the biggest smile from Prabath, his generosity and warm character made me feel home the moment I arrived. To add to this… Probath’s wife makes the most delicious food and their accomodation is SPOTLESS. Clean, stylish and comfortable. It was definitely the best accomodation I have had during my trip in Sri Lanka. To top it off Probath is an EXPERT local guide who thrives off of sharing his knowledge of Sinharaja Forest Reserve and the local area. I felt safe, looked after and lucky to have him as my local guide! A highlight of my trip in Sri Lanka. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you!

The perfect stay for your nature adventures in Sri Lanka. We read a lot about the troubles of finding a good and engaged guide, this is how Rainforest Star was suggested to us. Not only do you get a very new, spacious hotel room, amazing home-cooked meals, but also the best possible guide. We loved our stay and all our expectations were met!

All was just as we had hoped for.

I have no words to express my generosity for this experience that I had by staying in Rain Forest Star and having as my hiking guide Prabath. He and his family welcomed me, and I felt no difference rather than being with my own family. The hiking experience exceeded far and beyond my expectations, and Prabath's family treated me like a Sri Lankan family member. Kikiri and Shehan looked after me with their kindness as well. I don't have a better memory of such an amazing hiking experience in the Rain Forest with Prabath. From the bottom of my heart, thanks 😊 ♥️ and cu again .

Absolutey worth you Money. The family running this place is amazing, they try to make your stay as comfotable as possible. No false promises or outdated photos, everything is clean and brand new. 10/10 will come again.

Nothing :)

This is a boutique hotel set on the edge of the rainforest, run by a lovely young couple, Prabath and Harshani. The room is spacious, modern and comfortable with terrific natural light, it's own modem and ample power sockets and lights. It has a modern shower-room and a kitchenette area which has plenty of space for the kettle, cups and drinks-making facilities. There is a private outdoor seating area which overlooks fields with trees just beyond. It's like a nature garden. Just relaxing on the deck we saw white-throated kingfishers, both blue-tailed and green bee-eaters, flower-peckers, doves, a grey-headed eagle (couldn't decide on identity) and so much more. After sunset we saw fire-flies too - a great favourite of ours. Prabath is a Sinharaja forest guide and he accompanied us on our day in the rainforest. He is an amazing spotter of animals - quite incredible. He is good company too, easy to spend a day with, and has a wide knowledge of the forest's animals and plants. Harshani looks after the hotel side of things and is a fabulous cook. We booked full-board and stayed for 2 nights. We enjoyed every meal. I did see them collecting some veg and spices from their own garden so, whilst it may not all be home-grown, much of it is.

I may have put a small bin in the bathroom as well as the one in the main room, but it isn't a big deal.

Fantastic homestay at the edge of the Sinharaja Forest. Very new, very clean, wonderfully decorated, spacious cabin. Large, comfortable bed with well designed mosquito net. Exotic bathroom. Nice sitting area outside with wonderful Jungle view. We enjoyed just sitting there, watching the birds. A little place in paradise. The absolute star is the host family though. Prabath and his wife Tikiri take loving care of their guests (including our driver/guide, who he helped to find a place to stay). Delicious home cooked meals - don’t miss out on Chef Tikiri‘s dinners! We had yummy rice&curry one night and great Kotthu for the second dinner. Prabath also is a certified guide for the train forest and we followed his recommendation to take the “7 Waterfall full Day Tour” with him driving us to the Lankagama Entrance instead of the Park entrance at his house. It was really worth it. He found so many different animals: snakes, frogs, lizards, spiders,… brought lunch for us (which his wife cooked fresh early morning)… and took us to amazing waterfalls.

It’s the best place to be in Sinharaja. Everything was great ! The room is really beautiful, the view on the rice fields is amazing. Thank you for everything, the tour and the food were excellent! I can’t wait to come back !

The best thing is the family who owns this hotel/inn. They always thought about our needs and tried to accommodate as much as they can. The food wife made was really tasty! They kept this place really clean as well. The place was really quiet and we felt so peaceful. They also do rain forest tours. The owner is such an expert about the nature! とても心のこもった宿で、オススメです。

Only thing could be that there is no air conditioner while they have fans. Of course, it is in nature, but the weather in this area is quite stuffy.

This place is a hidden gem! It is a brand new place very close to the rainforest. It is run by a Lankan family, very friendly and sincere. If you are someone who loves to travel and connect with people this is a place for you. We were supposed to stay for two nights, but we ended up staying for four. Prabath is an amazing guide and we went two times with him to the rainforest. He knows every single detail about the jungle as he was raised in this area and he is really passionate about nature and respectful towards it. It was the best of our stay in Sri Lanka!

nothing

The stay with Prahbat and his family was just amazing. The Cabin they offered us has a great view into the beautiful nature and is quite new. The room is big and the bathroom is luxurious and the opposite what you find in most Sri Lankan accommodations. Anyhow the best part is the location, the amazing hospitality and the food! The wife cooked everyday freshly and delicious for us and also took lovely care of us! This whole family was just welcoming and helped us with everything at any given time. If there was a nice Bird or anything worth to see at their premises they showed us. The best thing you can do is doing a tour into the rainforest nationalpark with Prahbat. You can choose from a few tours he offers, we did the waterfall tour and just had an amazing day in the nature which felt like spending time with a friend. We had lunch, which he provided, right next to a huge waterfall. He also took our wishes seriously like not showing us spiders. He showed us a lot of animals and told us a lot about Sri Lanka, in fluent English, which is not the rule among the guides. Overall we can really recommend to stay at this special place. In general the area is not as crowded as many other places in Sri Lanka and more visited by locals than foreigners.

The host family is incredibly cute. A highlight was the opportunity to eat Sri Lanka breakfast, as they cooked for themselves Pranobert was also out guide for the forest walk. He's very knowledgeable and caring with the jungle.

That we stayed for too short

Super clean and well maintained. Beautiful location, and tasty foods.

Far away from deniyaya.

Brand new room, clean, comfortable. Hot shower, fan and mosquito net. The food was really good. The owner is an official guide of the park and can organize d’offerta tours in the forest.

All good

The place is beautiful and by far the cleanest I have seen in the country. Even better than the accommodation are the lovely people running it!

This really the perfect accomodation, when you stay around the rain forest. The owner is also a guide for the tour (we did the 6 hours tour and it was so funny;)or others and can help you in any case you need. Thank you for meeting Tikiri and Prabath. We came as customers and leave as friends. Gaby and Michael

The location. The room looked like it belonged in a boutique hotel. Incredibly clean. Staff were lovely. It was a husband and wife team. The food was so flavoursome and plenty of it. The wife ( sorry I can’t spell your name ) was a delight. Prabath ( not sure about the spelling ) took me on two tours, my favourite by far was the wildlife one, saw plenty of lizards, snakes, spiders and a pair of adorable frogmouth owls. Great tour. They even gave me a lift back to Deniyaya to get the bus back to Galle . Plenty of birds and wildlife around the property . The photos were taken from my room there.

The streak of perfect reviews seemed too good to be true - but make no mistake, this is one of the best homestays I’ve experienced in years. Location: Perfect, right in nature’s heart. Apartment: Beautifully built and spotlessly clean. Food: Some of the best I had in 4 weeks across Sri Lanka. Price: the price of the whole package is unmatched in the area. Don’t worry about the lack of nearby restaurants or supermarkets - you won’t need them. Staying here feels like being at your favorite family members, where every meal is a highlight. Prabath and his family treat hosting not just as a business but as their passion. Every morning, I woke up excited for the day ahead, with Prabath sharing his favorite hiking trails and passing down his family’s deep local knowledge. From the moment you arrive, they make you feel like an old friend. For three days, I was part of the village - Prabath’s friends became my friends. But don’t worry: your privacy remains their top priority. This is the definition of a hardworking family who takes genuine pride in sharing their home and heritage with guests. They put their heart into making your stay special. I'm leaving truly happy, with their kindness carved into my memory. If you're reading this, don't hesitate - this is a stay you'll treasure. To Prabath and his family: you're dear in my heart, and I wish life treats you as kindly as you treated me.

If I were to describe all of my impressions, I would never finish. This accommodation is a jewel and truly unique. The warmth and helpfulness of the hosts is extraordinary. The accommodation is modernly furnished and everything was clean and worked perfectly. I enjoyed every minute, whether on the tours in the jungle or when I simply sat on my terrace and looked into the garden for hours. For me, this place was magical and my very own personal paradise. As a frequent traveler, I have seen a lot but I have been looking for this place for a long time and to my surprise, I did not expect it to be like this. This accommodation is an absolute must for nature lovers who are looking for a quiet place where nothing is lacking. On the contrary, I think you are offered a unique atmosphere that is second to none. Absolute recommendation and a must when staying in Sri Lanka. Thank you for this great experience. Coming as a guest and leaving as a friend has never been as good for me as it is here. I look forward to seeing my friends again 🫂🥰

That I had to leave 😢

Good meals good view good privacy

Air conditioner not available in the room

the bathroom was wonderful, hot water too, and the room is big and clean with a very beautiful view. the owner offer us to share rice but you can order dinner too. and the wifi works really well :) and the breakfast was really good you can ask for something different if you need. one of the most beautiful guest house I stayed in sri lanka and I stayed in more than 15 places there!

Good location and good hospitality 👍

War welcome, food is excellent, room is confortable and very clean A lot of activities to do in nature (prabat the owner is a guide)

I will give a few segmented reviews for this. Otherwise, I don't think I can do a justice for this amazing place!!! 1. Customer service - Exceptional. The host is really friendly and responsive. Made us feel like home. Helped us find a naturalist plus offered us a free ride. Specially adjusted rate for locals. 5000/5 🌟 2. Place - located with the best view facing sinharaja across a paddy field. It's a 10-minute distance to Pitadeniya sinharaja entrance. ( from tuk tuk 300 LKR approx ). Room is a very cosy, clean, bathroom massive and comes with hot water. I have nothing to complain about. It's really worth the money. What I have noticed is that it is a really good condition compared to other places in the sinharaja area. 5000/5 🌟 3. Food - The host's wife can cook really well, food was so good we ordered all the meals there. Price is really cost-effective. There is a nice out door dinning area which you can have a nice meal with your loved ones with a magnificent view. We got breakfast with the rate as part of the deal. It was really good. Milk tea was offered to us FOC all the time we were there. 10000/5 🌟 4. Dog Shaggy - As a dog lover, there is nice well mannered dog to accompany you throughout the stay. My heart breaks to leave him. I will definitely miss our evening sun set watching. 10000/5 🌟 5. Naturalist - He is the host's brother. I would definitely recommend him in a heartbeat. He has really passionate energy toward what he does. From how sinharaja name started, all the folklore stories, all biological information, a great photographer. He got everything you need to accompany you in the hike. We were able to see lots of animals and a great time! I am highly recommending him. 5000/5 🌟 Overall, this is one of the best experiences I have had. I am 1000 % recommending this place. I will definitely come back! Thank you for everything ❤️

I have only good thoughts when I am thinking about this place. When I arrived I got greeted by Prubad and his wife with a big smile. Even when it was already passed lunchtime they asked me if I wanted lunch after my long trip.The pictures on the site do not really justice. It is a lot nicer. The place is new, the bathroom is super. There is a shower for cold and hot water. Prubad and his wife will do anything to make you feel at home. The first night I just been sitting on the terrace watching the thunderstorm and the fireflies flying around...it was wonderful. They have a small menu where you can choose from for breakfast, lunch and diner because you are in the jungle and there is not much around. You do not need to look for a tourguide, you can do it with them. You have different choices for tours and Prubad knows a lot about nature. I can write here a whole story how good it was but will not do that. Do not hesitate if you want to stay in the rainforest. You will not regret it

Nothing

The room is nice and very new! The location was perfect - really loved it. Host is very nice, friendly and helpful, arranged everything perfectly, highly recommend

Everything is new, bathroom is amazing, not smth you expect to see in the forest :) Hot water also available. We booked a tour in the forest with the owner for 70 usd in total (2 ppl), loved it! Highly recommend the place and the tour. Not many reviews because place is brand new.

We ordered dinner, food was ok, could be better

The accommodation is very cozy. Diirectly overlooking the jungle and rice fields. The room is very nice and clean. Prabath is direct and friendly guy.🙂 it is worth doing the tour with him.

The room is new, super clean, and very modern. The view from the room is exceptional.

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!

I stayed here for two nights. The guest house is very new and furnished to a very high standard. I was greeted with juice and fruit. The hosts were extremely courteous and friendly. Breakfast was included, lunch and dinner could be chosen from a menu with fair prices and was very tasty. The accommodation is very easy to reach on foot from the Mederipitiya bus stop, but the host also offered to pick me up from there. On my departure day, I was kindly taken to the bus stop and helped to find the right bus to my next destination. In summary, I was very impressed with the hospitality and helpfulness of the hosts and I would definitely recommend booking this accommodation.

The room is very clean and nice. Family welcome you and take Care of you as 6 stars hôtel. Food was Amazing , too good ! The Big Plus is all activities that the owner propose (water falls, rainforest, reserve with Savage animals éléphants, fox, peacock, crocodiles...) We enjoyed a lot and will Come back soon
