Deniyaya Guest House, hotel in Deniyaya

Providing a shared lounge, Deniyaya Guest House features accommodations in Deniyaya. This homestay provides free private parking, a 24-hour front desk, and free Wifi.

The host was extremely welcoming and accommodating. Both breakfast and dinner were hands down one of the very best we tried during our 3 weeks in Srí Lanka. The tour to the rainforest was very interesting, enjoyable and very reasonably priced. He didn't hesitate to make us tea to help with our upset stomachs. Moreover, out host helped us to arrange both a beautiful accommodation in our next destination and a car to get there. To add, even after leaving his beautiful guesthouse, he was keen to recommend healing plants through WhatsApp. We highly recommend Deniyaya Guesthouse

Eco Villa - Sinharaja, hotel in Deniyaya

Surrounded by greenery, Eco Villa - Sinharaja is located in Deniyaya. It features home-cooked organic food, free parking and complimentary WiFi access.

Highlight of our tour in Sunharaja Rainforest! We absolutely loved doing this tour and would recommend it to ANYONE who wants to do an experience in Deniyaya area. Our guide Bandula was brilliant - super friendly, helpful, considerate and extremely knowledgeable - educating us not only on the food element but about Sinharaja in general. His wife cooked Srilankan authentic food for us and those were really delicious which is true but you will definitely come away feeling VERY full from all the tasters. Thank you again Bandula and while family- we wouldn't have wanted anybody else to show us around!

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.

    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.
