Sinharaja Hostel, hotel in Deniyaya

Sinharaja Hostel has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Deniyaya. The property features a bar, as well as a restaurant serving international cuisine.

The pool is gorgeous! Totally surrounded by nature. The place feels like a nice hotel aside from the dorm room factor (which I ended up having to myself!). The staff work very hard and are very accommodating. Breakfast included was a big win and it’s all you can eat buffet :)

The Rainforest Hideaway, hotel in Deniyaya

The Rainforest Hideaway has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Deniyaya. This 3-star hotel offers room service, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi.

Staff were so friendly and accommodating Location was perfect, next to a waterfall. Yes it’s going to be noisy but when travelling around Sri Lanka, ear plugs should be essential. The host organised jungle treks which were amazing. The room itself was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great. It was lovely to have menus for lunch/dinner and drinks to order from. I will definitely be re-visiting and staying here!

Rain Forest Star, hotel in Deniyaya

Rain Forest Star is set in Deniyaya and features a garden and a restaurant. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property.

I have only good thoughts when I am thinking about this place. When I arrived I got greeted by Prubad and his wife with a big smile. Even when it was already passed lunchtime they asked me if I wanted lunch after my long trip.The pictures on the site do not really justice. It is a lot nicer. The place is new, the bathroom is super. There is a shower for cold and hot water. Prubad and his wife will do anything to make you feel at home. The first night I just been sitting on the terrace watching the thunderstorm and the fireflies flying around...it was wonderful. They have a small menu where you can choose from for breakfast, lunch and diner because you are in the jungle and there is not much around. You do not need to look for a tourguide, you can do it with them. You have different choices for tours and Prubad knows a lot about nature. I can write here a whole story how good it was but will not do that. Do not hesitate if you want to stay in the rainforest. You will not regret it

Rainforest cabin, hotel in Deniyaya

Located in Deniyaya, Rainforest cabin offers 3-star accommodation with a garden, a terrace and a restaurant. Each room includes a patio.

A serene space in the heart of the jungle, surrounded by trees & peaceful scenery. You have to cross 2 streams to get to the property, making it a very magical experience. The host was very attentive, going above & beyond for us during our stay. He also took us on a hike in the area, which was one of the best hikes we’ve done. It gives you a true glimpse into rural Sri Lankan life, a highlight of our trip. We also went on a tour of Sinharaja, organised by the host, which was also amazing. We couldn’t recommend this space more.

    We did not visit deniyaya village at all but the area close to the rainforest is beautiful...the great thing about it is that it has not yet become touristy so everything at the moment seems more local and real. Not to expect too much from food,just simple local homemade

    Super.

    Super. + Simplicity is the tranquility and friendliness of the owners. Owner took us on a forest tour and showed us a lot of animals we'd never seen alone. The complete visit with the waterfalls was the most beautiful.

    Close to Singharaja Rain forest.

    Close to Singharaja Rain forest. You have also some good tourist spots which everyone can enjoy. Choice of restaurants is less. All are basic with nothing flashy. If you are depending on public transportation it is well connected to Galle and Matara from where we can get Highway buses to Colombo. Not developed as a tourist place

    Fantastic place I have been many times. the property has a bridge to enter that is broken for months now. no way a vehicle can enter or go up to the ticket counter due to this. vehicles should be parked about few KM off the site. Sinharaja is a heavenly place.

    The guest house is built on a steep forested slope adjacent to a beautiful waterfall. It is surrounded by forest vegetation and creatures, and the lovely host will look for things to show you and tell you about. Above the rooms there is a large opensided common area looking into the treetops. Here meals are served and it is a great place to while away time after an early morning Safari into Sinharaja Forest. The food is home-cooked using ingredients grown on the property, and is spectacular – the best we have encountered in Sri Lanka.

    The owner is super helpful and friendly, help us with everything we needed. The terrace outside is nice to sit and chill and just watch some animals goes by like birds, squirrels, mongooses and some more. Mahesh the owner said he can also make us food if we'd like that but we ate outside in a local place. Really amqzing place to stay if youre planning to go see Sinharaja rain forest. The woner will help you figure out the busses to go there if you want to save some money and not pay for a tuktuk

    This was one of the most amazing experiences in Sri Lanka. The family that owns the place is extremely helpful and friendly (ask about the tours of the rainforest, that is just round the corner, eldest son is working there as a guide), the views from the terrace are breathtaking - on top of the valley, with tea plantations beneath (wake up early to enjoy your coffee with a view). And the infinity pool!!! Tasty breakfast, lots of beautiful flowers, nature - perfect place!

    The host is very friendly and hospitable. Host also had few fusion cuisines. We ordered Fried rice for lunch and it was accompanied with devilled chicken and one portion was adequate for two adults. Then we ordered srilankan savoury omlet and Kerala Dum Rotti for dinner and it was yummy. This was one of the fusion cuisine. The view from the property is great and you could spot birds and monkeys on the nearby trees from the comfort of balcony.

    It is less than a Km from the Meredipitia bus stop. The breakfast is so good. They will take good care of you. I traveled solo and the hospitality was too good. They also recommend best guides for the Sinharaja rain forest tour. No wifi, good signal reception from dialog and SLTMobitel in the area. It is not a hostel as the name says. There are two large spacious rooms - one double sharing and one triple sharing room

    Janith and his wife are exceptionally nice hosts. They care for guests wishes and comfort. The place is new, well kept, and clean. Delicious food. Hotel organised our pick up and transfer to next destination. The Sinharaja tour was with an experienced guide who really cares for the forest. Don’t expect to see many animals, enjoy the nature, sounds of the forest, waterfalls and natural fish spa.

    We had a lovely two day stay at Vini Villa, the facilities are great (clean and large shower and large bed), the Sri Lankan food that Vini's wife prepares is really good. We did the 6h day tour with Vini in the reserve and the night tour. Both were great, saw plenty of lizards, insects and birds and went swimming in the waterfall. Can only recommend, we had a very pleasant stay.

    Located at the edge of pitadeniya forest entrance. Beautiful surrounding with a natural pond. Good view from the restaurant. Plenty of photo locations. Working staff is friendly and supportive. Two roads leading to the property. Only the lankagama - deniyaya road is recommended for normal vehicles as the other road is only suitable for 4wd vehicles.
