“Great rainforest retreat!”
+Fabulous place on the edge of the rainforest. Fantastic, very large balcony area with amazing views and well equipped with rocking chair, tables and chairs, perfect for relaxing to the sounds and sights or the rainforest. Food here was fabulous, it was delicious Sri Lankan food and the portions were huge!
−It was a very steep path down to the property. It wasn't a problem for us but could be if your mobility is compromised.

“A cosy nature spot”
+From the balcony you have a fantastic view. The room is really cool- part of the house. And not to forget the family - sweet couple who absolutely made our stay fabulous. Thanks so much for all your kindness. For sure I will come back if I get the opportunity. Best regards Christian

“Amazing view”
+We stayed two days and would have loved to stay longer. The view is amazing, the food cery good and everything clean. The hosts are very sweet and with Google translator you can communicate with them. The organized a rainforest Tour and a car for our next Trip for us. Thanks a lot!
−If you want very much privacy, it may not be the right place for you, because you are very close to and with the family. We liked it a lot.

“A GEM of a place. So sad to leave. Would highly recommend”
+A WONDERFUL place! Excellent value & for the price, the facilities are great- large room & private balcony, nice shower, comfy bed. Best of all Dalsi & Salat are SO lovely: kind, helpful & she’s a phenomenal cook..& SO generous with the food . Salat arranged a forest tour for us which is well worth doing, but from the balcony you could see a whole parade of beautiful birds. We also loved swimming in the river below the guesthouse.
−Absolute nothing!

“Quiet, full of nature, amazing food and great hospitality”
+The view and the food were excellent. The couple who run this place were so kind and caring and the food was so amazing we could not stop eating. Great place to sit and watch the river and just take a moment to disconnect from the hustle and bustle.

“Number 1 in Sinharaja”
+I absolutely loved the family homestay environment here. I was welcomed with so much gratitude and generosity. The view here is fantastic and you could not ask for more. The meals were better than any restaurant and cooked to order with very big portion sizes.
−Nothing, everything was perfect.

“Amazing views and lovely hosts”
+Amazing location with view to the family garden/tea plantation and the river, many birds and wildlife passing by (saw a few peacocks flying in front of the balcony which still surprises me!).The couple is super caring/attentive and serve amazing, diverse and plenty of food. The room is quite big with a cozy decoration and plenty of seating and a lovely balcony.
−Communication in English is indeed limited but solved with Google translator

“Exceptional”
+We had such a lovely stay in Rainforest View and can absolutely recommend it! The couple took such good care of us, served us amazing food, arranged a tour guide for the rainforest and even went on a tour to a waterfall with us. It was like being part of the family and we are super happy that we chose to stay there. A translator app is helpful to communicate in English. The room is big and clean with two double beds and a great balcony with the famous rainforest view. Birds are everywhere and can be easily spotted from the house. We would always come back!
