Rainforest Nest

Saman is the hotel owner 💕
I felt part of Saman family. Saman wife Umesha made the best food and Saman is a super professional nature guide 🙏 thank you very much for ykur kind hart 🙏 I will always remember that place and will come again🙏
Thank you ice cream ❤️

Our stay at Rainforest Nest was one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such genuine warmth that we truly felt less like guests and more like part of the family. The kindness and generosity shown by everyone were extraordinary. When I became unwell during our stay, they helped take us to the pharmacy, made sure I got the medication I needed, and even prepared homemade soup for me. Their care and compassion turned what could have been a difficult experience into one where we felt completely looked after. It is something we will never forget. A special mention must go to Saman, whose guiding skills are simply outstanding. His ability to spot wildlife in the Sinharaja Rainforest is incredible. We would have walked straight past so many fascinating animals and birds without him. His knowledge of the rainforest, patience, and sharp eye made every walk exciting, and thanks to him we saw an amazing variety of wildlife that we would never have found on our own. The accommodation itself is peaceful, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring Sinharaja. Waking up surrounded by nature and enjoying delicious home-cooked meals made the experience even more special. If you are looking for more than just a place to stay—if you want genuine Sri Lankan hospitality, exceptional guiding, and to feel truly cared for—I cannot recommend Rainforest Nest highly enough. Thank you to the whole family for making us feel so welcome. We hope to return one day.

Un accueil d’une gentillesse exceptionnelle.
Situation exceptionnelle près de la rainforest
Des chambres parfaites

Very nice bungalow in the middle of the rainforest. Vue is juste Wow ! Saman and his wife are lovely and he is a very nice guide to visit the forest. A very nice stop !

Het prachtige uitzicht, de mooie en comfortabele kamers en de geweldige lieve mensen die het Rainforest Nest runnen. Niets is hun te veel en alles gaat gepaard met een grote lach. Geweldige leuke tour in het regenwoud gedaan.

Mehr Gastfreundschaft geht nicht. Umesha zauberte uns super leckere authentische Mahlzeiten, nach unserer Regenwaldtour hat sie noch unsere schmutzigen Trekkingschuhe blitzblank geputzt. Sie ist eine Seele von Mensch. Saman ist ein exzellenter Guide, nichts entgeht seinem scharfen Blick, ohne ihn hätten wir nur Bäume gesehen 😀 So ein liebenswertes Paar! Die Unterkunft selbst war eine Klasse für sich. Liebevoll eingerichtet, toller Blick ins Grüne und auf Reisfelder. Der Eingang zum Regenwald ist nur ein Katzensprung entfernt. Insgesamt können wir sagen, wir hatten den Jackpot

Wat een fantastische plek! Het wordt gerund door een ontzettend lieve en gastvrije familie, de huisjes zijn prachtig, midden in de natuur en mega schoon, het uitzicht op het terras is heel mooi, het eten was heerlijk en de jungle tour overtrof onze verwachtingen. Ik zou dit iedereen aanraden! Bedankt Rainforest Nest!

Very friendly owners. Agreed to provide everything I needed. Were happy to help all the time

Super nah am Regenwaldeingang, sehr entspannte, familiäre Atmosphäre, herzlicher Empfang, hilfsbereit und flexibel

Emplacement magique, les hôtes sont vraiment très agréables et feront tout pour vous aider pour tout.

The location was excellent for day and night hikes in and around the forest.
Saman and Umesha are wonderful hosts, very kind, thoughtful and hugely knowledgable about the area.

We did a night hike and Saman showed us snakes, lizards, scorpion, frogs and other insects and bugs.

The following day am we did a wonderful walk to the waterfall for a scenic swim, exploring the rai forest on our way, this time seeing more snakes, millipedes, monkeys and an owl.

We went with our 10 year old sons and it was wonderful for young and old!

Umesha is the most wonderful cook and provides the most delicious meals for all to enjoy.

I could not recommend Rainforest Nest high enough.

We loved everything.
The beautiful location in the middle of nature. Sitting on our balcony, with its view into the rice paddies, we could see so much wildlife already.
Room and bed were very comfortable.
It was very quiet.
We ate all our meals there, and everything tasted great and was prepared with love.
The tours with Saman were fantastic, we saw so much. He so often was the one who pointed out animals to other guides, who had walked right past them. He was knowledgeable and passionate.
But what really made this place special was the loving hospitality of Saman and Umesha, who did absolutely everything to make sure we had a perfect stay. Feeling at home might be a cliche, but here it was absolutely true. Rarely have we been as sad to leave a place.

Incredible stay!! The hosts were so lovely and organized everything for us with ease. The food was delicious. The tour was awesome. He gave us so much information about the wildlife and vegetation and answered any questions we had. The room was very clean and had a beautiful view from the front porch. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Amazing views, great food and lovely hosts who providing an excellent rainforest tour

Ein Juwel zwischen Reisfeldern und Regenwald.
Hier stimmt einfach alles. Angefangen bei den Gastgebern Umesha und Saman, der wunderschönen Lage, der hübschen und sehr sauberen Bungalows bis zu dem feinen essen und der wirklich top Führung durch Samed dur den Regenwald. Am Schluss habe ich von Umesha noch ein Stück Aloa vera Pflanze zurBehandlung einer juckenden Hautstelle und obendrauf ein Babypflänzchen davon für zu Hause. Und der ganze Aufenthalt zu einem aussergewöhnlich guten Preisleistungsverhältnis. Herzlichen Dank!!

The best place we stayed on Sri Lanka. Beautiful quiet location, amazing view right from the bed. The cottage is really comfotarble, with great attention to details. What is best is the host family, Saman and his wife made my family feel like at home. Great forest and night village tour with Saman, we have seen and learn so much. I can highly recommend!

We stayed here for 3 nights and had an amazing time. The hosts are so welcoming - they made their home feel like ours 😊The location is PERFECT and staying here was the highlight of our 12 day trip... We really missed the noises of the rainforest once we moved onto Tangalle.

Amazing tour in the rainforest, very kind host which made us dinner and nice breakfast and lunch during the tour. Saw some amazing animals, in doubt book it and it will become a highlight on your trip
