They should focus on the cleanliness!!! Bathrooms are not clean! Need to clean the rooms! Smelled like dust when we entered the room. Almost changed our hotel because of this.broken taps, hot water is not working properly. And the road to the hotel should be updated to the google maps properly!

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.

We booked a 2 room suite - they dont have one but offered us 2 rooms side by side which were very small! We settled on one room. On request they supplied a kettle and cups for us.

Excellent location with Sinharaja Rain Forest literally on the doorstep and ideal for trekking. Breakfast and dinners good. Our car and driver could not get to the location but staff from Sinharaja Forest Edge sent a courtesy 4 x 4 to collect us to take us approximately 2km off road to the property which was great.

I think it is difficult to maybe maintain the facilities in such a humid environment, standard is not like in a city

To be in the middle of the rain forest nature

Food was very yummy and there were a lot of options available for breakfast. The staff was very friendly and helped organize a tour for us. The tour guide was amazing and extremely knowledgeable about the forest and its residents.

Bathroom / Toilet need to sprused up.

This resort/ hotel is a rustic beauty. Very good for trekking ( with a guide) inside the Rain Forest , Bird Watching and nature lovers. Food was included in the booking and was very tasty. Loved talking to Tikkri Bandara, the man in charge of dinning.

Had a lovely relaxing stay at Sinharaja Forest Edge. The location was perfect, right by the rainforest and it was easy to arrange a guided walk from the accommodation. The pool was right outside our room which was really nice. Really felt like we were staying in the midst of nature. The staff were also very friendly. Would recommend!

Great location, a stones through to the park, if you are serious about bird watching or learning about the fauna and flora, I thoroughly recommend a guide called Sagres, he made my trip.

We booked rooms with breakfasts and dinners included (HB), thinking about the buffet, but in the restaurant they gave us the menu card. So we ordered food from that menu card thinking that all food is included except of drinks. In reality it was not! They had a special offer like rice and curry for half board, but nobody tell us about that, and there was no any buffet also:( So it was a bit confusing and disappointing at the end. I think it was a mere misunderstanding. Anyway the food was tasty and the price, even with our extra payment for food, was still not so high. So if you ordered room with HB or FB you have to clarify about the food options that you have, and not order from the menu card.

This hotel is located very close to Sinharaja Forest and has its separate "private" entrance to Sinharaja. There is a cozy pond with beautiful lotus flowers and a marsh with singing frogs. The hotel is well-designed and the atmosphere is tranquil, there are no mosquitoes because a lot of frogs and dragon flies. It's a natural biome. Swimming pool surrounded by nature is cozy and nice. The staff is friendly, the food is tasty. Rooms are comfortable with a pond view. The forest biome at the edge of Sinharaja and its location makes this hotel unique. Amazing place ‌to relax and enjoy the nature. We liked it much!

We arrived as per the location on booking.com but that is incorrect. We had to follow owner's direction and kind of got lost. You can't drive to the property in your own vehicle due to poor road conditions. We had to park our car in a parking lot, wait for a pickup from the hotel. We booked the family room right next to the pool, but the toilet door got stuck while my 10yr old inside. We had to climb through the toilet window from outside to rescue the little one. As they couldn't get the door fixed (or open), we were offered a cabana style recidence for the stay. No fridge, no microwave or any other aminities offered on our original booking. There is no microwave in the whole property, although we were fooled by booking.com. The cabana didn't have benches or seats inside. Washing machine is not accessible, we have to give the staff dirty clothes, they wash and return back. Not many options on the restaurant menu, so we ended up selecting the same meal. The cabana we stayed at was tilted few degrees to the left, you can feel it when you are inside. Had issues with running water as filters kept getting blocked due water is being pump from a nearby stream. Had to call for help in the middle of the shower. Ensure you are ready for square type plug points, as the new cabana only has those - not old round pin type. Our first family room had wall plugs that can accommodate various plug types. Wifi coverage was poor. Was charged US$5 per person for breakfast - way too expensive for what was offered.

Location - hotel is quite literally at the edge of the forest - less than 10m from the entrance gate to Sinharaja rain forest. Everyone is very polite and helpful. Good food at the restaurant. Nice swimming pool with water Jets - kept clean. Hotel organised our guided tour provided leech socks, packed lunch and water as part of the tour package. Staff washed and returned our dirty clothes. Nice general calm atmosphere all around with animals sounds throughout. Wifi was ok, poor coverage though. Overall the stay was comfortable, considering we were at the edge of the forest and away from everything. Can recommend, will stay again. The room was air-conditioned.

Very friendly and warm hearted people working here. Amazing food and lovely place in nature! We felt very welcome! Also very good bird watching guide and nice trip to the waterfalls by jeep. Consider quite a hike to the top of the waterfalls.

The drive up to the hotel in the back of a pickup was very uncomfortable and many people won't enjoy it. At night, we were the only people in the restaurant enjoying the sounds of the forest and the owner put on loud music, which was a shame and doesn't communicate great respect for nature. He wasn't particularly friendly either. The room wasn't very clean and smelt very damp. Of course it's in a rainforest but there are ways of alleviating smells. The hotel as a whole feels a bit under construction. Only the bare lightbulb was working. There was a powercut for several hours when we arrived, no fault of the hotel, but we weren't told about it and had to ask.

Amazing location right by the entrance to the rainforest, making an early morning tour very easy. Lovely to be surrounded by nature. Food in the restaurant was pretty good

Awkward to initially get too. Suggest Prussad arrange a Tuk Tuk to meet guests Deniyaya, to transport to SFL. Especially if arriving in the dark, hard to negotiate with Tuk Tuk being taken to SFL without being 'ripped off !!!

Overall accommodation, hospitality v good.

The shower water not very warm

Fabulous location right at the entrance to the rain forest the manager and her staff could not do enough to please you room and bathroom clean and food delicious there was a very welcoming and tranquil feel to the place immersed in nature. The whole place has suffered a bit due to covid and economic situation and could do with a bit of general maintenance which I am sure they will do once guests occupancy is back to normal. They also provided a superb guide called Sahara who took us on both our jungle trips very knowledgeable and considerate guide. This was provided at a good price. Would recommend and would stay there again it’s not luxury but the staff and lovely feel to the place more than makes up for it.

The garden could have been improved a bit. Room selection was a little confusing since there were two pool view room categories. The owner provided detailed info when inquired over the phone though.

It was a very nice stay at this property which was bordering the Sinharaja Forest and it was simply the "Forest Edge". 🙂 Did not expect such professional service, which exceeded our expectations. The manager/owner was very helpful and offered free jeep transport by contacting us prior to our arrival. However, our van reached the hotel garden without much issue. The limited staff did a wonderful job taking care of everything, especially the young lady coordinated everything perfectly. Meals were delicious and served without delay. Good wifi was a luxury considering the remoteness of the location. They had two wifi networks, and both were available with good speed.

There was no hot water in our room, and the electricity cut out one night. The food was ok but very expensive - we were charged 3000 rupees per person for a buffet dinner which was by far our most expensive meal in Sri Lanka.

A nice hotel in the perfect location for visiting Sinharaja forest, the entrance to which is just outside the hotel gate. The hotel helped us organise a guided tour of the forest with two knowledgable guides. The garden is also perfect for bird watching and you can see snakes, water monitors and many butterflies from there.

Bed’s weren’t super comfortable

Very kind hosts who picked us up from the nearby village and amazing location (literally right on the edge of the forest!)

The location on google maps for the property is wrong, and there was no prior mention of this upon my arrival. So I ended up spending a very wet hour trying to find it before finally hearing back from the owner with directions.

For those wishing to explore the rainforest, the location couldn’t be better. Literally right next to one of the entrances. Gayani was super helpful and friendly, and the food was surprisingly excellent, even the scrambled eggs at breakfast were cooking absolutely perfectly, which very rarely the case. Also the bed was by far the most comfortable of the 8 places I’ve stayed so far in SL. Also, the guide they organised at resort was excellent and it was a amazing experience. Plus the pool is lovely
