Evergreen Villa - Sinharaja, hotel in Deniyaya

Providing garden views, Evergreen Villa - Sinharaja in Deniyaya features accommodations and a garden. With mountain views, this accommodation provides a balcony.

The property is located completely in the Wild, very close to the entrance of the Sinharaja Rainforest. I recommend getting a room with river view: it’s breathtaking! Saman was super available during all my stay. He organized for me a Forest tour with a very experienced and knowledgable guide, but also my transfer to and from the villa!

This place is in the most beautiful setting and we loved our stay! We felt right at home with Thisara and his family. He gave us lovely, home cooked food, took us on a walk to meet his grandparents and sorted the best guide for our day in the Rainforest. Thank you for having us, we cannot recommend this stay enough, amazing experience!

Rainforest River Bay, hotel in Deniyaya

Providing river views, Rainforest River Bay in Deniyaya provides accommodations, a garden, and a terrace. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking, and free Wifi.

This was our second visit to Rainforest River Bay, and we were fortunate to be offered a free upgrade to a family room, which was much better than the standard room. The family space is located on the top floor and has a room two beds (one double, one regular) and two spacious balconies. One of them features a large table, along with a comfortable sofa and armchairs, creating a private space where you can relax with your family. Breakfasts were included in our stay, and we also ordered dinners from the host. The food was perfect and delicious. Both the owner and his wife are very kind people. The owner works at Sinharaja National Park and can guide you through the park if you're interested. The location is excellent, just 100 meters from the main road, in the natural bay of Gin Ganga, giving you the feeling of staying in the jungle. There’s a small forest next to the lodge where you can safely explore the local wildlife at night. You can even take a dip in the river if you like. Overall, I highly recommend this property for nature lovers.

Featuring a garden, Sunil's Homestay Sinharaja provides accommodations in Kalawana. The property features free private parking.

Sunil is such a friendly and caring host! We had a lovely time at his home. The view was amazing and everything was clean too. We also did a tour through the rainforest with him and he showed us so many birds we couldn't find without him :) We enjoyed the breakfast and dinner too and we would definitely come back and also recommend this place to others who are planning on visiting the rainforest.

    Atmosphere, Vibe 👌 Its right next to the Forest Entrance. TikiriBanda is the man! He helped us in many ways to make our stay a comfortable one as well as the other staff members. Food is average can give 7/10, and bit expensive for locals. So its better to book it full or half board. Overall 7/10 for everything.

    An absolute gem and one of the very best places we stayed. Amazing location, very clean and comfortable, lovely host family and lots of extra’s including a stocked mini bar. If you are visiting Sinharaja then this is the perfect accommodation. Our hosts arranged our hike, (which was quite challenging) with a guide and a picnic. Our driver found accommodation very nearby.

    The property is more like a home stay run by this lovely couple who are great hosts. She cooks fantastic Sri Lankan food and he is a great guide, very resourceful. Janith helped us out with almost everything..we were keen on seeing the endemic species of birds and he made sure we saw them all by organising a bird watching tour with a guide (Kumara) who was extremely knowledgeable . He also organised a tour into the rainforest with a great guide. Clean rooms, excellent food and property. Overall a 10/10.
