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 this place! The views were amazing and the atmosphere was peaceful and calming. We visited the Sinharaja Forest Reserve during our stay and our host did an amazing job by organizing the whole trip there, he made everything really easy for us. I would 100% recommend this place for anyone who wants a little getaway from the busy coastline and loves nature.

I stayed at Sinharaja Pitadeniya Hut in Lankagama during our research work in Sinharaja, and it was an excellent experience! The location is ideal—conveniently close to the main road and within easy access to both the Lankagama and Pitadeniya entrances of Sinharaja Forest Reserve. This made it very practical for our research activities. The food was another highlight. Breakfast was included in the price and featured authentic local dishes, which were both delicious and satisfying. The host was incredibly friendly and supportive, always ensuring we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The accommodation itself was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable environment to relax after a day of work. Overall, it’s a great place for anyone visiting the area, whether for research or leisure. Highly recommended!

I had a great stay at the Glitz Marriott. Ananda and his family are great hosts, really nice, attentive and excellent cooks. I originally planned to stay one night but extended my stay. The room was large, clean and quiet. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and tea can be taken on the covered terrace with a beautiful view of the surrounding rice fields. Ananda is also a very good guide, we did an expedition in the Sinharaja forest and saw a lot of animals. Ananda also organised a visit to a tea factory and took me to see the beautiful surrounding countryside.

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!

We had a wonderful experience staying at Dolagawa, nestled in the heart of the rainforest. The property is surrounded by lush tea fields, a serene stream, and an abundance of nature, making it the perfect getaway for relaxation and tranquility. The family room we stayed in was comfortable and well-suited for our needs. The atmosphere was peaceful, allowing us to truly unwind and enjoy the natural beauty around us. One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious home-cooked meals—fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. The hospitality was exceptional, with friendly staff and a welcoming owner who made sure we felt at home throughout our visit. If you’re looking for a place to relax and reconnect with nature, Dolagawa is the ideal retreat. Highly recommended!

    Close to Singharaja Rain forest. You have also some good tourist spots which everyone can enjoy. Choice of restaurants is less. All are basic with nothing flashy. If you are depending on public transportation it is well connected to Galle and Matara from where we can get Highway buses to Colombo. Not developed as a tourist place

    We absolutely loved this hotel. It’s hard to believe it’s so gorgeous, situated in the middle of dense jungle. The villa has such luxurious, comfortable rooms with incredible views. The food cooked by the family was the best vegetable curry we’ve had in the whole of Sri Lanka. We only stayed one night but wish we stayed more! We did a day tour and night tour and both were fantastic. Highly recommend staying here :)
