Perfect stay! We liked location and view from the villa. Our room was small but very comfortable with nice bed and pillows. Spacious and clean bathroom. Fast wifi. We liked food, it was one of the tasties experience in Sri Lanka! Cooked by familly. Also Saman took us for a walk to the rainforest and it was perfect. Maybe the tour is more expensive than directly at the gate but it was worth of it!

If you’re looking for an immersive nature experience, this hotel in the heart of Sinharaja Forest is an absolute gem. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality, making our stay nothing short of perfect. The property is beautifully integrated into the rainforest, with wooden bungalows offering breathtaking views of the lush greenery. Breakfast was one of the highlights of our stay: fresh tropical fruits, natural juices, aromatic coffee, and traditional dishes made with local ingredients. Lunch and dinner were equally exceptional, offering the perfect balance of authentic Sri Lankan flavors and high-quality, fresh ingredients. If you want to disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature while enjoying outstanding food and service, this is the place to be!

Amazing stay which we will never forget. We stayed for 3 nights and had really nice time here. The owner helped us to arrange our whole programme in Deniyaya. He arranged the tour to rainforest Sinharaja (he ordered tuktuk and guidance), also he took us to the tea factory Lumbini Tea Valley which was really perfect experience! He also showed us local waterfall where we swam and he showed us all the local fruits and spices. We tried cinnamon, cardamon, guava, passionfruit,... Breakfast and dinner were absolutely delicious. Probably best curry we had in SriLanka. Also pancakes with coconut and honey were unforgettable. We recommend this staying because this guy will make your stay unforgettable and exiting!

If you want a 5 star resort, this is not your place! If you want a river view with birds, a friendly chef/manager and a clean, basic stay- stay here! Fan, air conditioning and a clean room with hot water. No other people were staying; this suited us as we could enjoy the view, birds and relax. The boys organised cold beer for us- ask the price, give them the $ and you have beer. Overall, a great place in a secluded spot. There might be water on the floor after a shower but this. Dies overnight. If this sounds great, go for it! The more expensive places are probably similar but we could have stayed have stayed longer. Thanks to Chef, Manager Akila. Very good spotter of birds and a friendly person with lots of local knowledge.

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.

Lovely family. I had a great time there. All confort at the edge of the jungle. Discovery of new fruits a'd vegetables in my plate. What to expect better. I came also for an exploration of the forest with the father. We saw many animals including snakes an scorpios that he has the magical to spot out. So knowledgeable about all plants. And yes there are olives in Sri lanka.

I booked a bird tour in the Sinharaja Forest with Achi (Sinharaja Tour Guide – Rain Forest Tours in Sri Lanka) and also decided to stay at his family’s accommodation, which I found very practical. The hosts were extremely kind, polite and professional. They gave me great tips, supported me with all my wishes (for example, I wanted to visit a tea factory in the area) and even helped me arrange a car for my next destination, since there was no Uber available in this rather remote area. The accommodation and the garden are beautifully designed, and you can clearly see how much effort, energy and love the host and his family put into it. The room was very comfortable and lovingly arranged. I also ordered both dinner and breakfast there – the dinner (fried rice) was excellent, and the breakfast was customized to my wishes. Originally, I had only booked one night but spontaneously decided to stay for another because it was so nice and the surroundings are absolutely beautiful. I also recommend everyone to explore the nearby town, which is within walking distance. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I can warmly recommend Eco Villa Sinharaja to anyone visiting the area.

Atmosphere, Vibe 👌 Its right next to the Forest Entrance. TikiriBanda is the man! He helped us in many ways to make our stay a comfortable one as well as the other staff members. Food is average can give 7/10, and bit expensive for locals. So its better to book it full or half board. Overall 7/10 for everything.
