Explore Sinharaja Rain Forest Tour Camp

Die Unterkunft war der Hammer, man ist umgeben von Natur, kann im Pool schwimmen, wann immer man will, manchmal hats Glühwürmchen. Die Tour mit dem Guide war unglaublich gut, für nur 35$ konnten wir von morgens bis um 16:00 unterwegs sein.

Great location next to the reserve. Quality guides, delicious food and attentive staff. There is a pool and a bar.

It's located near the park entrance

Most of the rooms are located near the aisle, so it was noisy. Almost every munite somebody passed throught. The room was very small and inconvenient. There was a bad smell from the swamp nearby. I would advice to find another accomodation.

The location was very nice, just a few steps away from the forest. The staff was friendly, but felt quite reserved.

The mattress in the room was moldy and nasty. Also the owner of the place was quite rude. We had a ride booked and it was one hour late. The owner did not apologize, instead he kept stopping to do his own businesses. The all inclusive was not quite comprehensive at all. The stay was super expensive in comparison to what we got.

The accommodation is perfectly located at the entrance of the jungle, offering a great sense of adventure and tranquility. The rooms are exactly as shown in the pictures—spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The bathroom is also large and well-maintained. The pool is pristine and a real highlight, especially on hot days when you can cool off after a day on the road. Additionally, there is a lovely spot to enjoy dinner, breakfast, or simply relax and chat with friends. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy both the comfort and natural surroundings.

While the accommodation and amenities were nice, I felt a constant pressure to purchase from them, whether it was food, lunch, dinner, or jungle tours. We were repeatedly asked if we wanted to buy, and they insisted we purchase in advance for tours. This was a bit uncomfortable, as it felt like they were unhappy when we didn’t buy. As someone who has traveled a lot around Asia, I know you can often get better prices if you ask directly at the ticket counters. The accommodation is just 20 meters from the ticket office, so I decided to go there and negotiate better prices for the 6-hour jungle tour, which I managed to do. It’s worth mentioning that the accommodation also offers tours of 2-4 hours, 6 hours (12 km), and a 1-day tour (25 km) that’s not available at the ticket office. While I’m not saying you should avoid buying tours from the accommodation, I’d recommend checking the prices at the nearby ticket counter as it gives you another option to potentially save some money. Be prepared, as they might encourage you to book a tour right after check in.

The location and setting were beautiful, the walk in the Rainforest & guide were great.

DO NOT COME HERE. It’s a massive shame as the location is beautiful & the hike through the Forest was great (with a lovely guide) we also had a great massage but the stay itself was awful. The rooms have no ventilation and so they absolutely stink, all our clothes ended up being damp and smelly also. The bathroom was covered in water when we arrived & they gave us half a roll of toilet paper which was obviously left over from whoever stayed before. The main customer facing staff are rude, unwelcoming and incredibly unhelpful - you have to ask multiple times to find out basic info you should be told already. The food is mediocre, it is definitely not all inclusive as you have to pay extra to drink which they don’t tell you the price & give you an extortionate bill at the end (1200 for a beer when we haven’t paid more than 800 anywhere else). They also beat the dogs that are around the area - they are sweet and do not harass or even approach you unless you call them over. Throughout our stay we kept seeing the dogs covered in water/shaking and with marks and then we witnessed the owners hitting them and spraying them it was disgusting. Absolutely horrific & insanely hypocritical considering they’re selling tours to see the wildlife in the rainforest which apparently deserves more respect. They also play loud weird country music which is not what you expect in the rainforest. I beg you to not go here it is the worst place I have ever stayed (also one of the most expensive on our trip) we have had great experiences for the rest of our trip and found people are very friendly and lovely but this was awful.

Staff were extremely kind and motivated, but a bit too focused on selling the tours.. Food were nice and beautiful garden and pool area.

The name on booking did not match with the real name of the property (real name: Forest Edge). This caused different problems and inconveniences. The rooms have nice big windows to the garden, but the main way of the hotel go directly in front of them.

The location is just 50 metres away from the entrance to the Sinharaja rainforrest, but you are already in the rainforest setting in the stay. Pikiri is a kind and warm person who made our stay so lovely, he made sure the food was prepared according to our dietary requirements and also helped us find a quick and cheap way to Colombo after our flight was rescheduled.

Nestled just near the Gate of Sinharaja Rainforest and it was an unforgettable experience. Surrounded by lush greenery everywhere, we felt more alive. The rainforest tour gave me memories and a peek into the forest world. The tour was very informative for a nature lover like me. Mr. Prasad and his team were very helpful with our needs. The highlight of the stay was a firefly that was just chilling in our room. It was magical.

Food options in the All Inclusive package could have been a little more. But it is also understandable that you cant expect a five course meal in the middle of the forest.
