    The place lacks maintenance. Mosquito nets must be replaced. Shower head was dripping water. It’s in nature, no luxury can be expected but small things should be fixed. Also the toilet paper was wrapped in plastic. No go for an eco lodge. The staff need a manager who would oversee all orders and give commands. They tend to mix up the order for breakfast, so waiting time can be long. Again with simple management actions, all can be fixed. If you’re used to laid-back service and can ignore minor things, you can enjoy your stay here.

    The tree houses are awesome. The bathroom is pretty basic and lacks proper maintenance (though clean) but the beds are huge and comfortable. Some units are closer to the bar area (noise). Some more secluded at the back. The bed is a bit too big for the room size. So you may not be able to wide open your bags. It’s an experience for sure, and we enjoyed our two nights here.

    The bathroom was dirty, dont think it was cleaned before us. Breakfast was mediocre. The rooms were very basic. Having no windows any noise or animal outside kept us awake. Very little lighting in the rooms and getting to the rooms. No torches were provided. Luckily we had our own.

    Location wise it was good & the kids liked the idea of sleeping in a treehouse. We liked the food at the restaurant though more of a vibe at the restaurants in the centre.

    It was a really nice and new experience sleeping in a tree house. We had a lot of fun! Obviously, you have to deal with monkeys and some insects. The staff was really nice and helpful, perfect if you are an easy going person (as you should be, if you want to sleep on a tree)

    No WiFi in rooms, restaurant played music loud one night which ruins the experience of being immersed in nature. Don't expect good or any service, the staff barely speak English and seem to be terrified of speaking to guests so very difficult to just get a coffee or get your order taken.

    An amazing experience overall, although the monkeys broke in while we were in town and stole all our food and drinks. Bed is very comfortable, this is definitely a try it once experience!

    It was great for one night. It's an eco retreat so expect frogs and insects, this just makes it more interesting!

    Clean, very friendly and helpful staff, loved being in the tree tops and having a drink on the balcony as the sun set. Would stay again

    The kids loved these cabins in the forest, even though you're not far from other houses, you can't see them, you're in the peace and quiet. The beds are very comfortable. The rest is a bit basic: they're still cabins.

    Overall, even for a tree house, the room could have been cleaner.

    Sleeping in something like a tree house was really cool. We could see lots of animals running around in the trees, which was really nice! The social area (Bar/Restaurant) was also quite cool and the breakfast was really good. You could tell, the staff really cared, but also that they were not so experienced which was okay. They helped us with booking a scooter and told us some nice places to go.

    we stayed here for two days and the beds were not made the second day. Rooms were not cleaned. The sheets had holes in them. Not so much trouble to make this better.

    Breakfast was ok. Nice fruit platters but toast with omelet was cold.

    Do note that because you’re living in the middle of a jungle, bugs are inevitable.

    If you’ve always dreamt about living in a quaint little treehouse that’s in the middle of a jungle, this is it!! It was the most unique place I’ve stayed in so far, and most importantly, the bed was comfy! The accommodation was great, however I’d say that the staff really made the stay for me. Special mention to the sweetest and most genuine people/friends I made throughout the stay: Diwakara, Isuru, Deshan and Shehan. They provided top-notch assistance that includes providing transport services, navigating around Sigiriya, searching the best places to visit and just radiating good vibes wherever they are at. Breakfast included was simple and yummy! Throughout my 9-day travel in Sri Lanka, I had the best time here 🥹 I left Sri Lanka with awesome memories and with the kindest local friends like them!! Highly highly recommend 11/10 ❤️

    The bathroom could be a bit better as the water from the shower had very law preasure.

    We had a fantastic stay deep in the forest. The house on the tree was just what I always wanted to experience. Monkeys looking into the room was something that was the must in the morning. Very helpful staff always ready to please you. Very good breakfast and good food in the restaurant. Food was freash and yummy.

    This stay was honestly disappointing. The room was extremely cramped and it was difficult to move around each other or to get dressed. The mattress was quite dirty and the sheets had large burn holes in them. It was quite difficult to sleep as the common area played music late into the night - this completely ruined the “in nature” feeling and as the treehouse had open walls there was no way to block out the noise (not ideal when you’re up at sunrise to climb Sigiriya). A number of the bathroom fittings were broken. The hot water shower was only a trickle and had a strong sewerage odor. We had no running water for most of the night. When we checked out we were asked to pay more than our booking amount as they were using an inflated exchange rate compared to everywhere else in town. This added insult to injury given it was already very over priced considering the condition of the rooms.

    The outdoor areas were quite nice. The restaurant, grounds, and balcony are pleasant places to sit and the jungle surrounds mean it’s about 5 degrees cooler.

    Please be aware that the treehouses are very basic and on the edge of the jungle. This means that you have to deal with all sorts of animals: toilet-frogs, bats, monkeys etc. While the grounds are well-kept, the treehouse interiors could do with some work: the beds are a bit hard, the mosquito-nets have many holes (as do the bedlinnen) the shower is constantly dripping resulting in a continuously wet, moldy and slippery bathroom. To be fair, we didn't report the above to the staff. But this was also because most of the time they are not there with an empty reception. The present staff are very friendly and appear to want to do everything to help you, but they seem to be put there by their manager who is absent most of the day. Many questions are answered by a request to wait for somebody who might be returning to the lodge in 15 minutes (in reality 45-60 minutes).

    The ecolodge is at a great location away from the busy street and the touristy center of Sigiriya. The grounds are well-kept and the treehouses seem of good construction.
