We stayed at Jansen's bungalow for 2 nights with office colleagues and had more than what we expected. The architecture of the building blended with the surroundings and added to the beauty of the area. The rustic approach was ideal for such an excursion. The unspoilt beauty of the surroundings added to our memorable experience. The food was typical authentic village food which was delicious. The chefs presented their best with an array of mouthwatering dishes with variety for each meal. The staff were extremely warm and courteous . The garden was neatly maintained. The rooms were clean. The beds and pillows were cosy and we all slept well. There were quite a number of books on flora, fauna, birds and butterflies in the library. This location has a collection of old radios , type writters statues etc. The mini bar was a hidden gem. The attitude of the staff was commendable. There were a few tips for development that were communicated verbally. Overall a great location and recommended. It is best to communicate with the staff of the property ahead of the booking to avoid the rainy season. Take rain coats, umbrellas, and water proof bags for photographic equipment. There are few places to visit including the Sinharaja forest,Duwili ella etc.

A peaceful retreat surrounded by stunning natural beauty. Nestled in the heart of the countryside, this charming property gives you the perfect opportunity to relax. The views are absolutely breathtaking — rolling hills, lush green fields, and scenic landscapes that stretch out as far as the eye can see. If you’re looking to get away from it all, this is truly an idyllic setting. While the location and surroundings are undoubtedly the highlight, the hotel itself is a bit more of a mixed bag. The building has a lot of character and offers a cozy, homey feel, but it’s clear that the property is in need of some TLC. The exterior has a slightly worn look. It’s not quite as together as you might expect for a hotel in such a beautiful setting, but it doesn’t take away from the overall charm. The staff are friendly when you can find them! a bit too laid back.

This little tucked away lodge was a real gem. Set in the beautiful rainforest surroundings, we found ourselves birdwatching at every moment! The food was delicious, a wide range of choices available, and I loved that the pool looked out over the valley below. Staff were fantastically helpful too - our air conditioning system broke down, and they immediately cleaned up another room and moved us there! Thank you!

Hotel tres reculé dans un cadre complètement paradisiaque et enchanteur. Calme, bien agencée et décorée chaque chambre est équipée d air conditionné et ici c est nécessaire ! La piscine à débordement est idyllique avec vue sur la vallée. En contre bas, une rivière est également un lieu de baignade possible. Seul bémol de ce lieu pour ne les avoir les 5 étoiles est le manager, souriant mais dépassé par les événements (hôtel complet) et souvent absent ou en cuisine… Pour un tel établissement dépourvu de réception H24, il serait souhaitable d avoir un contact Watsapp en cas de necesité ou d urgence médicale dans la nuit car le téléphone des chambres ne répondait pas. Les (très) jeunes garçons employés ici ont un très large sourire mais manquent absolument d initiative et c est dommage. Les prises électriques de toute la chambre sont inutilisables sans adaptateur… qu’ il n y a évidemment pas ! Le comble étant le sèche-cheveux avec prise européenne qui ne rentre évidemment pas dans les prises ! Enfin le restaurant, pourtant magnifiquement situé, offre une cuisine très décevante et basique. Vraiment dommage dans un lieu pareil! Monsieur le propriétaire, vous avez construit un joyau, merci de prendre en compte mes remarques puis embaucher un vrai chef et un vrai manager pour que les séjours soient parfaits et inoubliables !

Visit to Sinharaja Rain Forest
Beautiful location, high on a hill overlooking tea plantations and Sinharaja Forest. Our room was traditional but comfortable.
Nice to have access to a swimming pool although there were only 3 sun loungers for the 12 guests who were staying at the same time as us.

This was the loveliest place we stayed in Sri Lanka. We loved the imaginative and creative visual style of the hotel. - the rock hewn bathroom and the metal buckets converted to lighting! The bed was really comfortable . The quality of the food and cooking was superb - the best we had and the staff were intelligent, kind welcoming and enthusiastic about the incredible rainforest setting and the surrounding wildlife. Finally the infinity pool looking out over the rainforest is without doubt the most exceptional luxury I have ever experienced!

As a solo traveler I was very impressed by the professionalism of the staff at the Jansen’s Bungalow Sinharaja Retreat. Bungalow is located adjacent to a nearby stream and the surrounding area is so beautiful. Room and the bathroom were very clean and well presented. Staff at the bungalow looked after me really well. If you are a nature lover and keen to explore the unesco heritage Sinharaja Rain Forest this is the best place to stay. I stayed at the bungalow for two nights. I wish I stayed there for more. Chanaka took me to the entrance gate at the Sinharaja forest in the bungalow’s tuk tuk and arrange a tour guide for me to explore the Sinharaja forest. Once I completed the hike Chanaka came back to pick me up and on the way to the bungalow he took me to see the Duli Ella. Food was delicious which was prepared by Chanaka. Sri Lankan and western dishes were in the menu which you can choose from. Kasun and Sandaruwan also provided a great service. I will definitely stay at this bungalow if I visit Sinharaja again ❤️

Great place to use as a base for bird watching and walking, clean and welcoming with an old world feel, almost as if you were at home, pool was clean and inviting and the view from the pool over the valley is truly amazing. Only downside was the food could have been better but it was still fine.
