This was one of our highlights on our trip in Sri Lanka! The hideaway is beautiful and totally new! The big room is comfortable and very clean, located right next to a nice river. one can hear the sound of the river and birds/ animals in the night (great jungle feeling!) the host was soooo incredibly nice and welcoming and helped us out with our problems. Breakfast is delicious and in the morning you have a great view into the nature. This really was one of our best stays during our roundtrip and I would definitely stay here again! They also offer tours with a great tour guide into the Jungle (highly recommend!!)

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!

Beautiful location, in the middle of the rainforest, you feel like sleeping under the stars and breathing together with nature. The owner and his wife are very very kind, Janith showed and explained a lot of things, animals/herbs, we had a fish pedicure in the waterfall next to our room, and the food was also exceptional, the ingredients coming directly fresh from their garden.

It's a wonderful, peaceful place surrounded by nature and its sounds! Comfi room, lovely staff and all round just a perfect little oasis. The food is also amazing although I found the local breakfast to be a bit expensive compared to other places and even to other items on the menu.

I'm a wildlife Photographer and I've been seeing Hemal as guide for several years now. He recently renovated the place as a guest house and it is fantastic. The place: The room was clean, AC and facilities are brand new and the view is exceptional! It is located a beautiful 10 minute walk from the park entrance, surrounded by green. And is directly next to the path that you would take for a night tour, which is a must in Sinharaja (And nobody is allowed to enter the Park at night). Hemal's wife is cooking and I doubt any of the luxury hotels near by will match the love and effort she put in every single meal. As it is common for Sri Lankan hospitality, they will always ask you if anything is missing or you have any special wishes and will drive to the nearest shop to buy it, without asking. The guide (Which is much more important in Sinharaja!): Hemal is known within the entire community as one who spots the most animals and knows so much about them. While all guides need to absolve basic training to become a guide, you can tell that he is truly passionate about the nature and he will tell you the English, Latin and partly the German names for most of the animals that we saw. You can also tell that he deeply respects the animals and the eco system and puts safety of you and the animals above anything. He grew up right in that village and he's is in the forest every day even on his days off so he always knows all the best spots!

RainForest Vibe Villa, located right next to the stunning Sinharaja Tropical Rainforest, is the perfect nature retreat. With the peaceful Gin River flowing nearby, it offers a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Just a short walk from the villa, you’ll find a bird-watching paradise. Plus, being only 100 meters from the Pitadeniya Entrance makes exploring the rainforest easy. From the moment we arrived, the staff’s warm hospitality made us feel right at home. The villa itself is cozy and designed for comfort, creating a stress-free and relaxing. A guided tour arranged by the villa took us deep into the rainforest, where we learned fascinating stories and insights about this breathtaking ecosystem. It was truly unforgettable. The food was another highlight; fresh, delicious, and full of local flavors. The villa is also exceptionally clean, and with no fixed check-in or check-out times, our stay felt flexible and stress-free. What makes this place truly special is its location. Surrounded by a tea estate, facing the rainforest, and right by the river, every view is stunning. Staying here felt like stepping into a dream.

What a magical place between the rice fields. The room is cozy and comfortable. We booked a tour with the host for a very fair price! We thoroughly enjoyed our jungle tour with him, including a packed lunch. The breakfast and dinner were also always delicious! Definitely recommend staying here! Thank you for our wonderful stay.

    Excellent location with Sinharaja Rain Forest literally on the doorstep and ideal for trekking. Breakfast and dinners good. Our car and driver could not get to the location but staff from Sinharaja Forest Edge sent a courtesy 4 x 4 to collect us to take us approximately 2km off road to the property which was great.

    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.

    Central location next to the rainforest. An oasis of calm with a beautiful view over the river, a great for bird watching. Comfortable and spacious bedroom which has glass casing - you feel in the jungle. A good sized modern bathroom with hot water and good towels. Very clean all round. Saman and his family were fabulous hosts, warm and welcoming, cooking delicious dinners and breakfasts. Great value for money. A magical experience.

    This place is in a great location right on the edge of the park, however, the owner/manager of this place, along with the cleanliness of the bedding and the construction of the budget accommodation, really lets it down.
