Hidden in the rain forest, far away from tourists, you can find this little gem. It has all the comfort of a resort, but it is not! The location, the food, and the staff are truly outstanding. Location - wake up with a view of the rainforest, tea plantations, and the bird's sound. Food - authentic regional homemade food cooked by the staff. Here, I found the best dishes in the country. It is so much a key feature, that the place deserves a visit just for this reason. Staff - genuine and and kind. Always available for your necessities and to guide you in the rainforest. Overall - if you do not expect the facilities of a hotel, you can live a magic experience. The price is competitive. There is a pool for resting after a long day in the forest. Highly suggested for two nights to visit the forest, but also longer for just resting

Read this til end, you’ll be thanking me! This hotel is a complete package! Room is clean & nice, (stayed in 2 different rooms), my fave is the chalet; it’s spacious with nice view; tea plantation valley & you will find a cow, wild peacocks, squirrels, mangoose, birds! Very fresh air & clear sky! They have a beautiful gardens around, big “infinity” pool with stunning view, big fish tank, outside small hall ( good for make group activity ), anddd badminton court, can u believe it?! Don’t worry about the foods! The owner, I called her “mama” she is thr best chef in house! Made the best Srilankan curry set I ever tasted! (basically I’m not into with curry, but she changed my pallete with her magic recipe & pure heart!). I also did my “cooking class” with her!! Another good activity to spend your time here! Not to forget visit Sinharaja forest ( pitideniya entrace ) just few minutes walks to the gate! You have to enter with the official tour guide, which is no big deal as the owner (Chama) also the ranger of the forest. He will go for the forest trip according to your time. Best start in the morning (5-6 hours is perfect or 10 will be nice too!)not heavy trekking, but you better prepare your shoes! Wear your swimsuit! Waterfalls and river fish therapy awaits you! You can walking around the village which surrounds with rice padi fields & tea plantation! Or you can visit the famous Lumbini Ceylon Tea Factory for free! Buy the tea there, you will regret if you don’t! It freshly made! This place is so magical, planned to stay 2 nights BUT ended up 4 nights! Even I wished could spend more! Next time definitely will comes back here! Stutiiii for uncle “ella kiri (fresh milk!)”, mama with her pure heart, Chama ranger of “garnet” :) , Suranga who made me barefoot on the boat (collapsed bridge, boat, river & rains just an amazing intro!), & Janak who always smiles! This is my 3rd time in Sri Lanka & can’t wait for another one, hopefully!

The location was beautiful and very close to the entrance of the reserve for the start of the tour in the morning. Basic lunch but all the rest of the food we ordered were delicious. Very nice pool overlooking the area. Nice and spacious rooms with air conditioning. The shower was not bad. The place is owned and operated but a family, Mama and Papa are doing all the delicious cooking and Chama is taking great care of the guests and doing very good tours of the jungle, knows every corner and is great at noticing many special animals. Was super interesting and we highly recommend to stay and travel with them!

The Location was great and so close to the entrance of Sinharaja rain forest 🌳 The room were clean and had a nice view to the mountains and paddy fields . Specially the food was amazing 🤩 and the mother of the owner was so kind and good person she made me feel like That I stayed in my home with my mother ❤️🙏🏻 as well as she cooks yummy Sri Lankan food that you can try in this place ! I’m definitely gonna stay here again 💯 highly recommend this place

Amazing view from the room/bed, I could stay there forever! Super nice staff that organised a great guided tour to the Rainforest for us. They let us check out late after the Rainforest walk and have a shower/use their pool before leaving. We had the best fried rice and kottu in Sri Lanka, breakfast was also great. I can only recommend this place!
