I have only good thoughts when I am thinking about this place. When I arrived I got greeted by Prubad and his wife with a big smile. Even when it was already passed lunchtime they asked me if I wanted lunch after my long trip.The pictures on the site do not really justice. It is a lot nicer. The place is new, the bathroom is super. There is a shower for cold and hot water. Prubad and his wife will do anything to make you feel at home. The first night I just been sitting on the terrace watching the thunderstorm and the fireflies flying around...it was wonderful. They have a small menu where you can choose from for breakfast, lunch and diner because you are in the jungle and there is not much around. You do not need to look for a tourguide, you can do it with them. You have different choices for tours and Prubad knows a lot about nature. I can write here a whole story how good it was but will not do that. Do not hesitate if you want to stay in the rainforest. You will not regret it

A serene space in the heart of the jungle, surrounded by trees & peaceful scenery. You have to cross 2 streams to get to the property, making it a very magical experience. The host was very attentive, going above & beyond for us during our stay. He also took us on a hike in the area, which was one of the best hikes we’ve done. It gives you a true glimpse into rural Sri Lankan life, a highlight of our trip. We also went on a tour of Sinharaja, organised by the host, which was also amazing. We couldn’t recommend this space more.

The location of Dolagawa is magical. There is a river and a small waterfall where you can swim right next to the resort. We went to the Sinharaja Forest and the host arranged a 3-4 hour tour for us which was really nice. The food was good and the staff was welcoming, helpful and super friendly!

We did not visit deniyaya village at all but the area close to the rainforest is beautiful...the great thing about it is that it has not yet become touristy so everything at the moment seems more local and real.
Not to expect too much from food,just simple local homemade

Super.
Super.
+ Simplicity is the tranquility and friendliness of the owners. Owner took us on a forest tour and showed us a lot of animals we'd never seen alone. The complete visit with the waterfalls was the most beautiful.

Close to Singharaja Rain forest.
Close to Singharaja Rain forest. You have also some good tourist spots which everyone can enjoy. Choice of restaurants is less. All are basic with nothing flashy. If you are depending on public transportation it is well connected to Galle and Matara from where we can get Highway buses to Colombo. Not developed as a tourist place

Fantastic place I have been many times. the property has a bridge to enter that is broken for months now. no way a vehicle can enter or go up to the ticket counter due to this. vehicles should be parked about few KM off the site. Sinharaja is a heavenly place.

It was a great city to relax and enjoy.
It was a great city to relax and enjoy. All so we can go to sinharaja forest and many more water falls. Other side of sinharaja have beautiful tea estate and mountains. When you can go to hiking, swimming in natural pool, jungle visit, special this area have original kithul honey.
What an amazing place! Incredible view and location. Dumith and his family were extremely accommodating, helpful and caring. The room is well-equipped, private, clean and has proper Wifi. It has a really nice terrace where you can listen and watch all sort of birds pass by. We were treated like family members. They always went out of their way to make sure we are comfortable. Dumith was always happy to show us around and accompanied us all the way to Deniyaya city to make sure we get on the right bus. Highly recommended and will be back.
Great location for visiting the Sinharaja rainforest. Tour guide is arranged by the hosts. Great guide who can make gorgeous pictures and has a sharp eye for animal spotting. Beautiful swimming pool with fireflies. Definitely go swimming in the dark (in your phone light). Cute dogs. Good food by the mother for a fair price. Use a tuk tuk rather than taxi from Deniyaya, because the road is not suitable for a car. The host was kind enough to offer us a tuk tuk ride to our taxi driver. There are mosquito nets around the bed, use them!
The owner is super helpful and friendly, help us with everything we needed.
The terrace outside is nice to sit and chill and just watch some animals goes by like birds, squirrels, mongooses and some more.
Mahesh the owner said he can also make us food if we'd like that but we ate outside in a local place.
Really amqzing place to stay if youre planning to go see Sinharaja rain forest.
The woner will help you figure out the busses to go there if you want to save some money and not pay for a tuktuk
Very friendly welcome from thisara and his family plus a welcome drink and snack. Amazing views of rice fields and rainforest . The room room was one of the cleanest one of our one week tour. WI-FI was really fast. Breakfast was great and better than some much more expensive hotels we stayed in. (And way more than we could eat.) Walkable distance for sinharaja rainforest main entrance about 5 minutes. Really better than the price suggests and we would highly recommend it. Would return anytime!
The Hotel is situated in very cool area in which the Sathmale water fall is visible. The staff service and foods are in a greater Level. They are maintaining their own high quality there and It impressed us.
The room size is very comfortable and Bathrooms are also in good size.
They provides meals on time we requested and these are very clean. As it submerged into the environment, the surrounding noises are only from the nature.
I will use the place again when I travel to Deniyaya area.
This was one of the most amazing experiences in Sri Lanka. The family that owns the place is extremely helpful and friendly (ask about the tours of the rainforest, that is just round the corner, eldest son is working there as a guide), the views from the terrace are breathtaking - on top of the valley, with tea plantations beneath (wake up early to enjoy your coffee with a view). And the infinity pool!!! Tasty breakfast, lots of beautiful flowers, nature - perfect place!
First up the food is amazing, and believe me I've tasted many a great dish across many countries and continents. The husband and wife team work tirelessly to make sure everything you want is catered for. Access to the Sinharaja is close you can get a guide all organised by the owner. The environment is very back to nature as you are essentially living in the middle of a rainforest. It was magical. You're living a stones throw from a waterfall!!
The owner is a guide of Sinharaja forest. I join a tour with him and he is so professional and knowledgeable! The tour was amazing. We walked in the forest and heard birds singing. Also captured lots of photos of endemic species, showered under waterfall, enjoyed fish therapy and bathed in pool. And then after tour, he prepared delicious dinner for us. Highly recommend everyone who wanna visit Sinharaja forest stay here.
It is less than a Km from the Meredipitia bus stop. The breakfast is so good. They will take good care of you. I traveled solo and the hospitality was too good. They also recommend best guides for the Sinharaja rain forest tour.
No wifi, good signal reception from dialog and SLTMobitel in the area.
It is not a hostel as the name says. There are two large spacious rooms - one double sharing and one triple sharing room
This accommodation in the rain forest is beautiful! It's the perfect place to have a peaceful stay in the middle of the jungle. Karina, the host, takes great care of the place. There is a river in which you can swim, a Yoga place in the forest and the hotel team makes great food. We really enjoyed our time there and would definitely come back :)
Beautiful room with a breathtaking view! The owners and staff are so kind. The tour of Sinharaja park that she arranged for us was great as well. Food is mostly homemade vegetarian curries, but they have a small menu and will make you other food if you ask. Such a peaceful place to recharge and just spend time in a beautiful, serene location.
It was the best hotel experience we had. the owner janith and his wife were very friendly and hospitable. Food was very delicious. The room was right next to the waterfall. This is a place with high biodiversity. Exceptional place to relax. Hope to be there again.....
Very clean hotel in Sinharaja Rainforest Entrance.New and clean linens.we had a knowledgeable adventure tour in the jungle with expert guide also early morning bird watching tour.huge portions of food with NO SPICY.
nice view pool and good taxxi services.
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.
The rest house was under rehabilitation, and the staff could not provide us with accomodation. The booking system is presently not working, for sure. However, the staff improvised and found another nice place in Deniyaya for us to stay.
Very comfy room. Good WiFi which is rare in Sri Lanka. Host is a forest guide so he can set the tour up for you including pick up and drop off. Breakfast is a good size.Tuk Tuk from Deniyaya bus station 2000 LKR
Great location - close to the Deniyaya bus stop and Cargill's. You can easy reach Mederipitiya by public bus to visit Sinharaja Forest. Nice view from the terrace and spacious room. The owner is very helpful.
great place with a great view from the terrace. air conditioning, wifi, breakfast, great staff. the place is located near the entrance to the rainforest, and this place also provides guide services.
Modern, comfortable rooms with AC. Beautiful swimming pool which was great on a 30 degree day. Dinner and breakfast was one of the best we had in Sri Lanka on our 3 week trip. Lovely family run hotel.
Staff were super friendly and helpful. We needed a tuktuk to travel from the edge of the park to the hotel and the owner was happy to drive us. Food was good and reasonably priced.
