If you love nature, it's the right place! Sahara and his family run and grow the place and they look after you splendidly. Definitely recommend the Rainforest Hideaway!

Best place we have stayed in Sri Lanka in terms of overall experience (great hosts & fairytale location). Food provided was very delicious, with great variety. The Sinharaja forest tour was also a very good experience, our guide (the owner of the Nest) being very knowleadgeble of what is going on in the forest (he spotted a lot of birds/animals and told us a lot about their behavior). All in all we just recommend this place by our hearts. A big thank you for the hosts!

Where to start? Hemal is such a such a kind guy and the best host you can imagine. It’s a new hotel so I was happy to be the first client. The hotel is at the entrance of the park and besides the great and spacious rooms as well as great food made by his wife, Hemal is an awesome forst guide that spots animals from a distance away! I did both the night tour seeing loris, scorpions, deer and snakes etc. (be silent while he’s spotting) as well as day tour with a.o. endangered monkeys and a beautiful waterfall. Also, from the terraces you can spot a lot of peacocks and other birds in the front of the stay. He also helped me arrange a taxi a good price back. 200% worth the visit!

The Location is very beautiful, situated in the jungle in a small village. The family was incredibly kind and made our stay feel like home. We had delicious homemade, traditional dinner and breakfast. The house is close to the entrance to Sinharaja Forest and they recommended us a great Guide who spotted lots of animals and showed us many ayurverdic healing plants. I can‘t recommend this place enough :)

We arrived very late at this magical place which was very close to the park entrance and they cooked us dinner, everything was delicious and the family was truly welcoming. The cleanest house we've found so far and an atmosphere that makes you feel at home.

The streak of perfect reviews seemed too good to be true - but make no mistake, this is one of the best homestays I’ve experienced in years. Location: Perfect, right in nature’s heart. Apartment: Beautifully built and spotlessly clean. Food: Some of the best I had in 4 weeks across Sri Lanka. Price: the price of the whole package is unmatched in the area. Don’t worry about the lack of nearby restaurants or supermarkets - you won’t need them. Staying here feels like being at your favorite family members, where every meal is a highlight. Prabath and his family treat hosting not just as a business but as their passion. Every morning, I woke up excited for the day ahead, with Prabath sharing his favorite hiking trails and passing down his family’s deep local knowledge. From the moment you arrive, they make you feel like an old friend. For three days, I was part of the village - Prabath’s friends became my friends. But don’t worry: your privacy remains their top priority. This is the definition of a hardworking family who takes genuine pride in sharing their home and heritage with guests. They put their heart into making your stay special. I'm leaving truly happy, with their kindness carved into my memory. If you're reading this, don't hesitate - this is a stay you'll treasure. To Prabath and his family: you're dear in my heart, and I wish life treats you as kindly as you treated me.

We had a wonderful experience staying at Dolagawa, nestled in the heart of the rainforest. The property is surrounded by lush tea fields, a serene stream, and an abundance of nature, making it the perfect getaway for relaxation and tranquility. The family room we stayed in was comfortable and well-suited for our needs. The atmosphere was peaceful, allowing us to truly unwind and enjoy the natural beauty around us. One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious home-cooked meals—fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. The hospitality was exceptional, with friendly staff and a welcoming owner who made sure we felt at home throughout our visit. If you’re looking for a place to relax and reconnect with nature, Dolagawa is the ideal retreat. Highly recommended!

    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. + 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. 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.

    Great location with fabulous views of the rainforest. They organised good tours with guides - the night tour was a highlight spotting a couple of rare lorises. - the day tour was slightly disappointing as in Sinharaja you follow a path with lots of other people with no opportunity to get off the beaten path. No fault of the hotel! Swimming pool was a welcome addition.

    We had a perfect stay! The room was very clean and cozy. The pool was just perfect after a long hike in the rainforest. The staff also organized our rainforest tour, which was such a nice experience. Good food and you can watch monkeys right from the terrace. I really can recommend to stay at this hotel and also wandering around the beautiful surrounding area.

    Staff was very helpful. The trek they arranged was super. Nature at its best. A world heritage site Sinharja Rainforest entrance is just a two minutes walk. A key river of Sri lanka is boardering the hotel. Rooms are clean and comfortable. AC or Fan was not needed.Food was very good. Will definitely recommend this place and will come back again.

    The hotel is located just a 3-minute walk from the Sinharaja reserve/forest. The accommodation itself is simple, as it’s right in the middle of the forest/jungle, but the guide is truly exceptional. The hardest part here isn’t finding a place to stay, but rather finding a good guide to help you discover the local wildlife and flora.
