Very kind and welcoming people. Saman is an excellent guide and knows the forest very well. We saw a lot of animals including monkeys and rare snakes. His wife made us plenty of food and was always happy to assist us. And the view from the room is amazing.

If you are looking for a quiet homestay in the middle of nature very close to a river and two of the forest reserve entrances, please choose Vini Villa. Being a solo traveller, I really appreciated Vini's and his family's friendliness and hospitality. They will always make sure to cater to their guests' every needs. Food was plentiful and delicious. Vini, the owner, is also very knowledgeable about the forest and animals that live around his home village and will be happy to show you around the rain forest and its many wonders if you wish so. I really enjoyed my time at Vini Villa's for 10 days and the many hikes I went on in the forest and around the village. I wish I could have stayed longer. It was hard to say bye to Vini and his lovely family.

Staying at this accommodation on the edge of the Sinharaja Rainforest was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the middle of vast fields, the villa feels like an island surrounded by nature, offering the most breathtaking 360° views I have ever seen. The abundance of birdsong and sightings of wildlife right around the property made every moment magical.The warm hospitality stood out, especially the delicious home-cooked meals prepared by the host’s mother using fresh garden ingredients. Our host, who is also an expert Sinharaja rainforest tour guide, led us on incredible wildlife encounters that enriched our stay beyond expectations. For anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature with comfort and authenticity, this place is truly a hidden gem.

Where to start? Hemal is such a such a kind guy and the best host you can imagine. It’s a new hotel so I was happy to be the first client. The hotel is at the entrance of the park and besides the great and spacious rooms as well as great food made by his wife, Hemal is an awesome forst guide that spots animals from a distance away! I did both the night tour seeing loris, scorpions, deer and snakes etc. (be silent while he’s spotting) as well as day tour with a.o. endangered monkeys and a beautiful waterfall. Also, from the terraces you can spot a lot of peacocks and other birds in the front of the stay. He also helped me arrange a taxi a good price back. 200% worth the visit!

We loved the lunch that Mama cooked for us on the second day - absolutely delicious home cooked curries, out of this world. And the food the night before over dinner was tasty too. We also loved the pool, the view from the pool and the location on the edge of the Rainforest. But the highlight was our Rainforest walk, we saw so much - snakes, lizards, spiders, millipedes, various birds etc and loved the swim in the waterfall at the end.

Great location for visiting the Sinharaja rainforest. Tour guide is arranged by the hosts. Great guide who can make gorgeous pictures and has a sharp eye for animal spotting. Beautiful swimming pool with fireflies. Definitely go swimming in the dark (in your phone light). Cute dogs. Good food by the mother for a fair price. Use a tuk tuk rather than taxi from Deniyaya, because the road is not suitable for a car. The host was kind enough to offer us a tuk tuk ride to our taxi driver. There are mosquito nets around the bed, use them!

The location of the bungalow was at the top of a high hill in wonderful forested county beset with mountains and valleys. One of the owners is a qualified rainforest guide, knowledgable in wildlife and able to take guests to National Parks and Forests. We went for one night and in the end stayed for three. Anyone interested in nature and wildlife would find everything they want at Sinhiraja Rest.

Excellent location with Sinharaja Rain Forest literally on the doorstep and ideal for trekking. Breakfast and dinners good. Our car and driver could not get to the location but staff from Sinharaja Forest Edge sent a courtesy 4 x 4 to collect us to take us approximately 2km off road to the property which was great.

Location was amazing, very close to the gate entrance of sinharaja rain forest. A beautiful waterfall 2 min from the room. The rooms are great hearing the sound of the waterfall, Manisha makes the best food. Highly recommended for people who like to be close to nature, seeking for adventures or just chill in serene environment.

The breakfast was excellent and the location was superb. I can't praise this hilltop bungalow set in beautiful rainforest too highly. If you like observing nature, there there are forest walks guided by the host, who showed us some amazing creatures, such as the bluefaced leaf monkey and the kangaroo lizard. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I saw the one bird I went to Sri Lanka for, right there in the garden, the paradise flycatcher. The family who own the place are such nice people.
