Managed by a private host
Lieu exceptionnel, au milieu de la nature, tout en restant proche de la route principale. Personnel d'une grande gentillesse, merci beaucoup à nos deux hôtes pour la qualité de leur accueil. Excellent petit déjeuner. Chambre de qualité. Petite piscine rafraîchissante. Un lieu hors du temps.
The location of this place is superb, just on the edge of Habarana, set in a small patch of forest, with monkeys, birds and other wildlife all around. Although only a minute from the main road, it feels like you are immersed in nature. The accommodation is essentially a tree house with a plunge pool below it - best appreciated in the morning to avoid the mosquitoes.
It felt a bit more home-stay than hotel. There is no reception as such - you are met in the dining shelter down the track from the road. Only breakfast is available so for dinner we walked only 5 minutes to the wonderful “Chill and Swing” restaurant (highly recommended, amazing food and atmosphere). It isn’t really true that it has room service - it has a couple of menu cards for local restaurants that will deliver. There are no proper curtains through the morning light filtered through the trees didn’t wake us too early. The air conditioning struggled to lower the temperature and the fan in the room was noisy and temperamental so one of us found it hard to sleep. It was all perfectly clean but basic. Including hand-soap next to the sinks would be an easy improvement to make.
Great breakfast and service, stuff was very friendly.
We loved the villa which had 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and a nice kitchen, and a private pond. Great jungle stay
The road to the property is something to improve
If you’re looking for a truly unique experience in Habarana, this is the place to be. From the very beginning, everything exceeded our expectations. Aruna, the owner, went above and beyond by personally picking us up from the airport and driving us all the way to the property—a journey of around six hours.
Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the incredibly friendly staff, Sanjay and Shashika, who made sure every detail of our stay was perfect. We mentioned our allergies in advance, and they took great care to prepare food that was completely allergy-free—everything was fresh, beautifully made, and absolutely delicious.
The property itself is stunning and unlike anywhere we’ve stayed before. One of the highlights was the open-air bathroom, where you might even find monkeys popping by to say hello while you get ready for the day—an unforgettable experience!
I had planned to propose to my girlfriend during our stay, and the team truly made it magical. They suggested an even better location than the one I had in mind, and later that evening surprised us with a private, romantic dinner under the trees—it couldn’t have been more perfect.
We were also shown around the local sights by the wonderful Sarat, who made the experience even more special by inviting us to his family home. There, he gave us a cinnamon-making demonstration and shared fascinating insights into the local history and wildlife.
On our final day, Aruna and Shashika presented us with a beautiful moonstone gift and a framed photo of us from the proposal—such a thoughtful and touching gesture that left us genuinely overwhelmed.
Leaving Hornbill was bittersweet, as we truly felt like we had found a second family in Sri Lanka. This is an experience we will cherish forever. Thank you all for such an unforgettable stay.
Nothing
Staff kind and helpful.
Location in the forest (quiet).
A mosquito net would be useful as there are some bugs (forest).
Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und hat uns jederzeit geholfen wo sie nur konnten. Wir fühlten uns stets sehr wohl und es gab sogar jeden Morgen ein amderes Frühstück. Wir würden jederzeit wieder ins Hornbill Forest kommen.
Wat een toplocatie midden in het regenwoud. Ook de medewerkers waren superaardig. We hebben een hele fijne ervaring gehad en missen deze plek nu al!
If you’re looking for a place that perfectly balances "wild jungle" with "modern comfort," Hornbill Forest Habarana. it was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Sri Lanka
Clean
Tiny plunge pool no sun on it so too cold to use and enjoy
Absolute Traum Unterkunft!
Wir waren hier für 2 Nächte mit unseren Kindern (2+4)
Ab der ersten Sekunde fühlten wir uns absolut wohl! Das Personal ist eine 12/10! Einfach überragend!
So herzlich, unfassbar!
Unsere kleine „Ferienwohnung“ war auch ein absoluter Traum! Die offene Dusche mit freier Sicht auf den Dschungel und die Affen morgens war ein absolutes Highlight!
Dann noch der kleine Pool dazu, perfekt!
Passt auf eure Sachen am Pool und auf der Terrasse auf! Die Affen finden es witzig, diese in den Bäumen zu verteilen, wenn man mal nicht da ist! 🙂
Superbe séjour dans cette maison. Les hôtes étaient très sympas, ils nous ont proposé les services de leurs amis pour organiser les visites aux alentours en tuc-tuc, à prix plus que correct. Nous recommandons vivement.
Staff was really nice and helpful
The villa was Nice and we had a great stay with the kids .
It corresponded to the photos , no surprises
Nice breakfast.
Очень приветливые менеджеры каждое утро сервировали прекрасный завтрак на улице, каждый день из 4х что-то новенькое предлагали. Номера - на втором этаже, в каждом домике по два номера, большой и маленький, мы бронировали большой, но из-за накладки персонала два дня прожили в маленьком. Все в окружении деревьев, рядом пруд с лягушками. И Спасибо милым бурундучкам, который в течение дня приходили на балкон и подъедали хлебные крошки и сладкие булочки. Продукты мы покупали в местном "супермаркете", до которого минут 10 пешком вдоль дороги. Напротив него отделение банка с выгодным курсом обмена валюты. Вообще Хабарана расположена на перекрестке дорог, отсюда можно за час-полтора доехать до древних столиц Шри-Ланки Аннурадхапуры, Поллонарувы, совсем рядом крепость Сигирия и пещерный храм Дамбулла, поэтому и был выбран этот город для проживания. А отель из-за большой кухни, на которой есть все, что нужно, даже СВЧ. Интернет - дали листовку с логином и паролем, но ничего не заработало. Хорошо, что нашли под кроватью роутер, на котором было название и пароль). Пару раз все пропадало, по вотсаппу связывались с менеджером и он удаленно перезагружал сеть. В большом номере есть рабочий стол и табуретки, вдвоем разместились вполне удобно. В маленько нет ничего. Uber вызвать здесь проблема, поэтому в первый день договорились с водителем джипа (здесь рядом два национальных парка - Миннерия и второй не помню названия), который нас три дня и возил по крепостям и развалинам. До Коломбо 3,5 часа езды, если что.
При бронировании обязательно берите большой номер с кухней, в маленьком жить можно, но только очень аскетично. Нет телевизора, но нам он и не нужен был.
Душ и туалет расположены так, что душевая почти под открытым небом, и в дождь полотенце на сушилке мокнет.
Die Unterkunft war mitten im Dschungel! Es war wirklich wunderschön und das Hotelzimmer war sehr sauber. Es gab auch reichlich Frühstück und das Personal war super lieb. Wir sind traurig, dass wir gehen mussten, können die Unterkunft nur weiter empfehlen :)
Nichts.
The staff at hornbill forest were so kind and hospitable. Would 100% recommend to anybody travelling through Habarana or Sigiriya
No complains
Locatia este inedita,amabilitatea personalului si cadoul primit la plecare.
Prima seara,pentru cine nu este obisnuit cu dormitul in natura,poate fi putin ciudata,dar dupa este totul in regula. Felicitari pentru ideea de a face baia in aer liber.
