Definitely one of the best stay at Sri Lanka! Saman and his family are very welcoming hosts, the property is beautiful — you stay in the middle of the jungle with a fascinating panoramic view. Don’t hesitate to order a Sri Lankan breakfast — it’s delicious! Also I would like to mention the exciting jungle tour we had with Saman and his friends. Saman organizes unique tours — you start at one entrance and exit from another one, so you don’t go one way twice. During the tour he tells you a lot of interesting things about the nature and animals around you. Even though 14 km through the jungle can be challenging, it’s an exciting experience! Thank you very much! Istuti 🙏🏼

With river views, Rainforest River Bay is located in Deniyaya and has accommodation with a kitchen. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms.

This place is great as well as the hosts. They made us delicious food and the room they gave us was above expectations. We came here because the host is also a tour guide. The price for the tour was a bit on the high side, 7500 per person. However, this was a very budget tour for us and it was very well worth the price. Also, breakfast is included which was very nice.

Everything is great. Mr. Bandula, the owner, who is truly exceptional and a respected figure in Deniyaya town. If your plans include staying in Deniyaya for the purpose of exploring Sinharaja, he is undoubtedly the best and coolest guide out there who knows every single inch of Sinharaja. Their warm hospitality, home made food and the cozy atmosphere at Eco Villa truly make it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommended.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Sagara as our guide in the rainforest. He was very passionate and enthusiastic. He showed us various endemic species of birds, insects, plants and reptiles. We saw monkeys and beautiful waterfalls. Afterwards we enjoyed tea at his beautiful accommodation. Will definitely be staying there in the future when we return! Thank you for a wonderful experience. Thank you Prasad to organize this opportunity for us

    Great location for visiting the Sinharaja rainforest. Tour guide is arranged by the hosts. Great guide who can make gorgeous pictures and has a sharp eye for animal spotting. Beautiful swimming pool with fireflies. Definitely go swimming in the dark (in your phone light). Cute dogs. Good food by the mother for a fair price. Use a tuk tuk rather than taxi from Deniyaya, because the road is not suitable for a car. The host was kind enough to offer us a tuk tuk ride to our taxi driver. There are mosquito nets around the bed, use them!

    Staying at the rainforest cabin was one of the highlights of our one month long stay in sri lanka. The place is incredibly beautiful and it was so nice to be surrounded by nature. Ravindra is a great host and made our stay really special. He arranged a guided rainforest tour for us and took us on a little hike close to the cabin. We would not change a thing and can only recommend staying at this hidden gem.

    The owners are very kind and welcoming. They can help you to arrange hiking in the forest with a great and passionate guide. You can ask for breakfasts, lunches and dinners in the guest house. The three dinners I took were exceptional, especially the grilled chicken with the vegetables. The place is clean and quiet, it's easy to sleep, you have a Mosquito net for the bed.

    The location is an excellent place to start the trip to the forest and the hosts super friendly. Food was delicious. Very much appreciated the quietness during my stay. The guide the family organised for my trip to the rainforest had outstanding knowledge about all plants, animals and great humour. Highly recommend the accommodation and the tour guide.

    Best place we have stayed in Sri Lanka in terms of overall experience (great hosts & fairytale location). Food provided was very delicious, with great variety. The Sinharaja forest tour was also a very good experience, our guide (the owner of the Nest) being very knowleadgeble of what is going on in the forest (he spotted a lot of birds/animals and told us a lot about their behavior). All in all we just recommend this place by our hearts. A big thank you for the hosts!

    a beautiful oasis of peace and quiet. Amidst the rain forest this guest house is in every aspect worth the trip. Any nature lover would think the ecological setup of the guesthouse in combination with its surroundings and the perfect service and meals are just brilliant.
