We enjoyed our stay so much. The quietness, the nature, the view on the mountain from balcony. Super nice staff. We walked from hotel 2 km to sinharaya rainforest unesco heritage entrance. We were mesmerized by the nature in the rainforest and the surrounding. The hotel is a Super place.

This wasn't our first stay, so we obviouly like this place. The manager Anand couldn't have been kinder. He looked after us like super VIPs. He was everywhere making sure that we were fine. A big thank you to him. We forgot a swim suit and he offered to send it by courier service to our next hotel, which he did. The hotel itself is small and not for everyone. The rooms needs a complete rework - they don't do this place justice. They are in a poor state. But the location is incredible and I hope, this will never change - please never cut ANY of the trees! This is the biggest asset- the jungle and all its noises, the beautiful light filtering through the canopy.

Such a lovely hotel, everything is even more beautifull in real life than in the pictures. Everything was very clean. And the surroundings are also stunning. The hotel is very close to the Kudawa entrance of the rainforest, where you can hire an official guide for 2500 LKR (entrance is 1250 LKR pp). The overall experience was amazing. I would definitely recommend this place.

We spent two nights at JML Villa Foresta with the family and honestly, it was the best stay we’ve ever had. From the moment I booked, the owner was in touch and super helpful. Even though he lives abroad, he made sure everything was taken care of and that we were happy. You don’t often see that level of communication and care. Getting to the villa is an adventure in itself. It sits right on top of a mountain, and the hotel provides both the off-road vehicle and the skilled driver you’ll need to get there. Once you’re at the top, the views are absolutely jaw-dropping and the weather shifts constantly, so the scenery feels alive and always changing. The villa is just beautiful. A mix of stone and wood that feels both rustic and luxurious. Everything was clean, cozy, and comfortable. Outside there’s a pool with an incredible view, and inside you’ve got a pool table, big flat-screen TV, and a sound system you can crank up without worrying about disturbing anyone, since the villa sits on its own massive 25+ acre estate. Total privacy. RSpecial thanks to Ravi, the host, who looked after us with such professionalism and warmth. He made sure we were comfortable at every moment. And the food? Honestly next level. The owner had told me they serve more than what you pay for, but I didn’t realize just how true that was until we sat down. Every meal was generous, beautifully presented, and delicious. The dishes just kept coming until we couldn’t eat another bite. If you’re after breathtaking views, complete privacy, amazing food, and a team that genuinely cares about your experience, this is the place. We loved every minute and would come back in a heartbeat.

After a hike through the rainforest with Sunil we were welcomed into his house by the family and Sunil’s wife presented us with a fabulous meal . Similarly , the following morning , after a very early start we hiked in the forest and saw most of the birds we had wanted to see . Sunil is an excellent guide - enthusiastic and very knowledgeable . We were then treated to a great breakfast at Sunil’s house .

Very happy with our stay here. This is a family-run lodge so it's not super fancy, but the hosts make you feel so welcome especially by cooking so so many dishes for breakfast and dinner. Easily the best home cooking I've had in Sri Lanka. The hosts are super nice, and the room has an amazing view on the river edge (as per the name), and you can swim in the river, which is nice. It is a close walk to Doranella entrance and the location is secluded from the main roads and village so it's great if you're looking for more privacy.

Literally one of the best places I have ever been in my life! I am so glad I chose this hotel for my stay in Sinharaja. I planned to stay 1 night then I extended it with once more. You have a stunning view. The family who runs the place are super kind, loving people. We even cooked together amazing Sri Lankan dishes, and the wife Mesha cooks incredibly tasty food. Saman, the husband took me for the rainforest tour and he is a great guide with much experience and he pays a lot of attention on his surroundings, you will definitely will see a lot of animals with him! I highly recommend their place and I hope I can also come back one day! ❤️

Where to even begin? Excellence truly sums up our stay here – easily the best accommodation of our entire Sri Lanka trip. The homestay is perfectly located on the edge of the rainforest, surrounded by beautiful, wild nature. Everything about the property feels brand new. Hemal and his family have clearly put an enormous amount of effort and care into building and maintaining the place – it is absolutely spotless. While the homestay itself already stands out, what truly made our experience exceptional was Hemal and his wonderful family. Hemal is also an outstanding guide in the Sinharaja Forest, and we joined him for both the night tour and a medium-level trek. He is extremely knowledgeable, and thanks to him we managed to spot every animal we were hoping to see. He was incredibly patient with our frequent photo stops and even has a real talent for photography himself. After returning from the tours, Hemal always made sure we had fresh drinks waiting for us. His wife is a fantastic cook – breakfast was generous, delicious, and prepared with fresh ingredients, and dinner was equally amazing. Even after our stay, Hemal continued to give us helpful tips and helped arrange a safari for us a few days later with a fantastic, knowledgeable local driver.
