Great jungle stay close to forest
Pros:

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.

Regnskovs Hytte
Pros:

Dette er et dejligt sted med et eget imødekommende personale. Hyrterne er hyggelig hytte at overnatte i og lige op til indgangen til Sri Lankas sidste oprindelige regnskov. Det er nemt st få guidet tur. 5 waterfall turen kan anbefales for lang tur ellers er der en kortere med 2 vandfald ex.
