+We loved this gorgeous family and the stunning setting in a little remote village with epic riverside and rainforest views. The room is very basic but personally we felt is was everything we needed.

“Happiness at the Forest Edge”
+The attention and care of the hosting family who cared for every need, and made any effort to make the stay comfortable, with a lot of kindness. Amazing breakfast was included. Great home cooked dinners by request, reasonably priced. Arranged knowledgeable, amazing guide for the rainforest hike, reasonably priced. This guesthouse is located nearby to the forest edge. That made amazing birds and wildlife be seen just from the nice garden porch or when walking the village road. However, don't expect any 'tourist scene' nearby. That village was so peaceful. Had great night sleep on the comfortable bed, protected effectively by net from bugs.
−Be aware that shower is basic. And bugs will enter the room. I guess that's expected for rooms in the forest edge.

“Top location, loveliest hosts.”
+Rasika and Ananda are two of the sweetest people you will ever meet. They are the kindest and generous, most generous hosts. The accommodations were modest and sufficient for my needs. The price was fair for the location, and the setting was incredibly beautiful, overlooking the river that runs past the park. When the rain came, it was simply sublime to sit out on the covered porch outside in my room and watch the storm. The birdwatching from right outside the door to my room was incredible. Rasika’s cooking is great, and I highly recommend her rice and curry(for which you must give her a couple hours notice, and order in the afternoon). It was one of the best meals I had during four weeks in Sri Lanka. When I return to Sinharaja, I will definitely be staying with them again. Rasika and Ananda, thank you so much for being such a lovely hosts. I feel that I have made friends for life!

+Such a great stay at Rainforest River Edge! For someone on a budget, you get a clean, comfy room with all the amenities--even a bottle of water. The space overlooks a river, and the garden is full of birds. The lovely family running it was SO attentive and made sure I had everything I needed, including tasty home-cooked meals. Peaceful, budget-friendly, and surrounded by nature--highly recommend!
