Pros:

This is the best Homestay and Lodge i have ever been to during this journey so far. The familiy is awesome. Every single one of them is so friendly and do everything for you to have the most confortable stay there. The curry is the best i eate during this hole journey. The Lodge is very clean and the view is amazing. Rainforest feeling 100%. They organise a really good daytour for you trhough the rainforest for a very fair price. And they also bring you fresh fruit etc. to welcome you. If you want to get to know such a wunderful family and have a happy time in the rainforest, you should defenetly stay there. I was traveling alone and i think if you travel alone or with your friends or family, it's perfect for every group. A big thank you to the hole family. :)

Cons:

It was a perfect thay.

Aussicht auf den Regenwald
Pros:

Absolut tolle Lage - 5-10 Min. vom Eingang des Regenwaldes entfernt. Vom Balkon aus konnten wir viele Vögel und Glühwürmchen bei Nacht sehen. Die Hosts sind sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Sie haben uns einen sehr sympathischen Guide für die Tour organisiert.

Nice place to stay
Pros:

Very nice few, nice room and a lovely family. They organized us a very good tour guide for the Dschungel. They cooked for us. That was delicious.

Cons:

The Moskitonet had no backside. So a some insects came easily in. Not that worst, there weren’t a lot of mosquitoes.
The dining area is not really cosy. But the nature is so fantastic

Отличная локация и отдельный домик за смешную цену
Pros:

Вид из окна, отличный вайфай, чистота в доме, хороший ланкийский завтрак, приветливые хозяева, помогли найти гида в лес.

Cons:

Водонагреватель слаб, сразу за домом дорога, где местные ребята до 12 ночи шумели с мотоциклами.

Nice little place, expensive though
Pros:

Food was great. Also sinharaja entrance is near by.

Cons:

Ower's father is a guide of sinharaja. Therefore owner request him to come to place even though we never requested. And he changed more than we expected for the tour.

Awesome property and the view and would be great if minor issues are addressed.
Pros:

The host is very friendly and hospitable. Host also had few fusion cuisines. We ordered Fried rice for lunch and it was accompanied with devilled chicken and one portion was adequate for two adults. Then we ordered srilankan savoury omlet and Kerala Dum Rotti for dinner and it was yummy. This was one of the fusion cuisine. The view from the property is great and you could spot birds and monkeys on the nearby trees from the comfort of balcony.

Cons:

A parking for a SUV or 4x4 vehicle at the property is desired and had to park few meters away and bit more pressure on the shower would be better too.
