Pros:

Struttura immersa nel verde,isolata,un oasi di relax. Cena a colazione super, consumata direttamente sulla veranda della casa del proprietario! Location ottima a due passi dall’ingresso della foresta! Noi abbiamo fatto l’escursione con la guida Hasitha,veramente bravo,preparato,disponibile! Ci ha fatto vedere dai serpenti,agli scorpioni,varano,camaleonte e altre speci! Veramente consigliato!

Cons:

Nulla! Ricordatevi sempre che siete nel bel mezzo della foresta e non in una città lussuosa!

Csodálatos, nyugodt hely
Pros:

Nagyon szép, nyugodt helyen van, a dzsungel bejáratától 10 perc sétára. Meg is hosszabbítottuk egy éjszakával.
Vásárlási lehetőség nincs a közelben, tuktukkal érhető el a szállás, de a házigazdák nagyon finom reggelit és vacsorát készítenek.
Egy kis faház felső részén laktunk, erkéllyel. Szép tisztaság volt. Légkondi nincsen, de nem is volt olyan meleg, mint a többi városban.

Cons:

Hiába mondtam, hogy a dzsungeltúrát magunk szeretnénk intézni, miután a bejárat 10 perc sétára van, a belépő nagyon olcsó és szabad guide-ok vannak a bejáratnál, nem szeretnénk a többszörösét kifizetni egy fakultatív programért. Kicsit erőszakosak voltak, megkaptam egy guide telefonszámát, aki ugyancsak erőltette a csomagajánlatot.
Valahol érthető, mert ebből élnek, de ha határozottan többször kijelentem, hogy köszönjük, de nem kérjük, akkor el kell ezt fogadni.
Ezen kívül kedvesek voltak, a kisfiuk is nagyon aranyos, a hölgy nagyon finomakat főzött.

Amazingly peaceful, a place to sit in the balcony with a book and enjoy the natural surrounds
Pros:

This place was so peaceful and the view from the balcony is superb. It’s a single lodge/room next to the families home and they are so friendly and eager to ensure you have a great time. Lovely home cooked food for breakfast and dinner. They do offer treks and guides but we already had one booked elsewhere. Would recommend, we stayed as 2 adults and 2 kids.

Cons:

Nothing, it was perfect.

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.
