Spotless bedroom with great view across the river. Great authentic Sri Lankan food, cooked to local heat levels, which suits me as a British born Sri Lankan plus my sudu family. :) Great trek through jungle with Pradeep & really nice to talk to his elder brother Saman.

If you are a nature lover,this is the best place you should be.....I spent some wonderful days at Rainforest Mount Villa. The view and landscape is something special-amazing - the villas are right inside the rain forest!!!! And the balcony on the riverbank it was something I really enjoyed. Sarath - the owner of this lovely place, its an amazing man, an excellent jungle guide, professional, generous, and very friendly. It was really nice days that we experienced and we felt right welcome. Finally, there were great tips for our further trip. When we missed the bus just a little, he even drove it miles behind him, so we still get him.

With river views, Rainforest River Bay is located in Deniyaya and has accommodation with a kitchen. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms.

We stayed at this guesthouse on a motorcycle trip and were surprised when Booking provided a free upgrade to a fantastic family room! It was on the top 2nd floor with two big balconies. One balcony is a spacy private lobby area that has a big table, TV, sofa, and armchairs - perfect for relaxing after rainforest adventures. Keep in mind, the budget room on the first floor is much smaller and located next to the kitchen on the 1st floor. The location is amazing! Set right on a natural turn of the Gin Ganga river, it offers a true jungle experience, especially in the evenings and nights. It's much quieter here compared to the crowded areas near the Sinharaja forest entrance. There's one minor thing to consider - there's a local school right in front, so it can get a little noisy in the mornings around 7-8am. However, we woke up at 6am anyway to watch the birds (and there were plenty to photograph!). The last 100 meters between the road and the guesthouse can be a bit challenging if you arrive in a small car. However, it's fine for a tuk-tuk or motorcycle. The owners were fantastic. Breakfast was delicious, and they offered amazing local dinners for a very reasonable price (1500 Rs per person). We also tried their pot of tea (300 Rs) and it was unlike anything we've ever had - simply fantastic! Kasun and his father are experienced guides and they can lead you on rainforest walks. Overall, this guesthouse was a perfect escape for our Sinharaja adventure. Highly recommended!

Rooms are air-conditoned, and come with mosquito nets. The private bathroom offers shower facilities.

Highlight of our tour in Sunharaja Rainforest! We absolutely loved doing this tour and would recommend it to ANYONE who wants to do an experience in Deniyaya area. Our guide Bandula was brilliant - super friendly, helpful, considerate and extremely knowledgeable - educating us not only on the food element but about Sinharaja in general. His wife cooked Srilankan authentic food for us and those were really delicious which is true but you will definitely come away feeling VERY full from all the tasters. Thank you again Bandula and while family- we wouldn't have wanted anybody else to show us around!

    This place is amazing. We stayed for two nights, and felt like we could stay much longer. The couple who run the home stay are so so wonderful. Felt like family or old friends. Super kind, helpful, and friendly. Food is delicious. Guided walk in the rainforest was fantastic. The view from the room is unbeatable. Just an all around great time, and we hope to be back! Thank you!

    An absolute gem and one of the very best places we stayed. Amazing location, very clean and comfortable, lovely host family and lots of extra’s including a stocked mini bar. If you are visiting Sinharaja then this is the perfect accommodation. Our hosts arranged our hike, (which was quite challenging) with a guide and a picnic. Our driver found accommodation very nearby.

    The property is more like a home stay run by this lovely couple who are great hosts. She cooks fantastic Sri Lankan food and he is a great guide, very resourceful. Janith helped us out with almost everything..we were keen on seeing the endemic species of birds and he made sure we saw them all by organising a bird watching tour with a guide (Kumara) who was extremely knowledgeable . He also organised a tour into the rainforest with a great guide. Clean rooms, excellent food and property. Overall a 10/10.
