Great jungle stay close to forest Really nice place, with very friendly staff. However, do not expect luxury. It is in the middle of the jungle and there are ants, cockroaches, gekkos etc. And the room does not have mosquito net. It did not bother me, but my girlfriend would not have been comfortable. Still, for the price, i would rate it 5 out of 5 and it worked perfect as two days accomodation for exploring sinharaja. It is directly next to the gate and have beautiful view of the forest and nice infinity swimming pool 👌 The staff was amazing! Really kind and very helpful for organizing tours, transport and what else you need. The breakfast was also good. It comes with sausages, and if you don't like them or don't eat meat, please give them to the dogs of the property. They stole my heart ❤️ The tour guide they set me up with, Mr. Priyanthi, was amazing. Ask for him, if you can 🔥 One of the days, i walked to the nearby hotel and had dinner - Sinharaja Forest Edge - which was also very nice. Consider visiting if you stay for several nights.

Purtroppo non possiamo dire di aver passato un buon soggiorno in questo hotel. La camera che ci è stata assegnata non era come quelle viste in precedenza su Booking. La stanza era sporca, malridotta e con fessure sui pavimenti e soffitto. Era evidente che non veniva pulita da diverso tempo. Un lenzuolo era macchiato, un’altro bucato. Il bagno era terribile. Appena siamo arrivati era tutto bagnato dalle pareti al pavimento. Muri tutti sporchi e decisamente era evidente che il bagno non era stato pulito. La finestra era fatta con delle sbarre in legno tra cui alcune rotte e senza alcuna protezione contro insetti. Bastava applicare una rete. Durante la notte, da mezzanotte alle 03:30 del mattino da fuori proveniva musica altissima e gente che cantava e faceva ******. Abbiamo trascorso la notte in bianco. I ragazzi che c’erano al check out quando gli abbiamo detto quanto accaduto durante la notte hanno detto due parole tra di loro e non ci hanno nemmeno chiesto scusa personalmente. Inoltre il giardino per arrivare alle stanza era pieno di piccole sanguisughe, che anche se per loro erano normalissime, per un cliente non lo sono. Dovrebbe essere fatto un trattamento al terreno per evitare spiacevoli situazioni ai clienti dell hotel. Abbiamo provato a chiedere di cambiare stanza oppure a trovare delle alternative. La soluzione che gli creava meno problema a loro era portarci la cena in camera. Così abbiamo fatto. Soggiorno terribile. Aggiornate le foto su Booking perché si crede di prenotare una stanza e poi te ne viene data una che non è niente di quello che viene mostrato!

We stayed in a nearby accommodation of this hotel at the edge of the beautiful Sinharaja forest. Sri Lanka is proud of this area and is trying to conserve it. We came to this specific area to enjoy nature, but that was difficult because of this hotel This hotel is at about 20 meters from the entrance of the forest. The whole afternoon and evening there we there were people partying and much more bothering, they played very loud music which you could here for hundreds meters around, in the naturereserve and all the surrounding hotels. The owners seems to be okay with that. We've heard that this happens more and more often and we would advise not go this place if you like nature and the sounds ans smells of the rainforest. For us the stay nearby this hotel was a total disappointment. We hope this changes in the future,otherwise we can't recommend this area close to the gate to other visitors

This establishment is disgusting and shouldn’t be allowed to trade as a hotel. I opened the door and the room hasn’t been clean. It wasn't very pleasant. The rooms were dirty and the bed sheets had stains on them and disgusting toilets with no locks. The food was utterly atrocious. I was so displeased with my stay. I cannot believe I paid for such a nasty, unsatisfying stay. But the staff were very friendly and accommodating with very limited resources.
