Rainforest Nest

We stayed in the cottage and we really enjoyed it. Everything was very clean and the hosts were very welcoming. We went into the forest with Saman and his brother who are wonderful guides. We loved every moment spent here and the 2 days will remain our favorite memory from our stay in Sri Lanka.

I'm sorry I didn't book more days.

This was truly the best accommodation and overall stay we had during our three weeks in Sri Lanka. We absolutely loved the setting — fantastic little cottages overlooking rice fields and right at the edge of the rainforest. Sitting on the balcony was magical, with the calls of peacocks, the sounds of kingfishers, and even monkeys appearing at the forest edge. The accommodation itself was beautiful, cozy, and very comfortable, making it easy to relax and fully enjoy the surroundings. The breakfasts and dinners were absolutely amazing, some of the best food we had on the trip. The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming, and Saman, who is a rainforest guide, took us on unforgettable walks where we saw plenty of wildlife. The Sinharaja Forest Reserve itself was a fantastic surprise — we changed our travel plans due to the floods, and it turned out to be a truly unique and unforgettable place. Thanks to this stay and kind hosts, our experience felt very special and authentic, something we will remember for a long time.

I stayed for three nights and it wasn't nearly long enough. I went on a rainforest tour and a guided birding walk both with Saman. I highly recommend you do the same. He's incredibly knowledgeable - He even nursed an injured bird back to health (It had flown into a window and was stunned). there are also so many beautiful paths you can take to explore on your own, and after a full day of exploring you'll come back to a warm greeting, some great food and a very comfortable room. This is where I close my eyes and imagine that I am when I'm having a bad day. :)

The view, location, fodod, stuff was more than perfect . We went for a tour with Saman to the rainforest, and it was memorable.

Prachtige locatie, ontzettend lieve, warme eigenaren, leuke tour door het regenwoud!

Douche is ietwat verouderd.

Wir haben 2 Nächte hier verbracht und wurden herzlichst von der Familie versorgt und verwöhnt. Saman und seine Frau sind einfach unglaublich liebenswerte Menschen. Während Umesha uns zu jeder Mahlzeit die leckersten Menüs zauberte, hat Saman uns mit seiner ganzen Leidenschaft den Sinharaja Regenwald näher gebracht. Wir haben unglaublich viele Tiere gesehen, auch solche, die man selten zu Gesicht bekommt. Dazu gehört neben Saman’s Können aber auch ein bisschen Glück. Wir haben auch an einem Wasserfall gebadet und einfach eine wunderschöne Zeit hier gehabt. Saman liebt diesen Wald, das spürt man einfach, und man merkt auch, dass ihm insbesondere der Erhalt dieses UNESCO Weltkulturerbes für nachkommende Generationen wichtig ist. Unser Zimmer war neu und sehr sauber. Die Aussicht ist von jedem Zimmer einfach atemberaubend schön. Der Abschied fiel uns wirklich schwer und wir hoffen, irgendwann wieder einmal zurückkommen zu können. Wir wünschen Saman und seiner Familie weiterhin viele nette Gäste, die die Natur ebenfalls zu schätzen wissen.

We really enjoyed the hosts! Saman is a great hospitable guide and his wife cooked delicious food for us!

Tutto, la posizione è ottima per un tour nella foresta con Saman , il marito che gestisce assieme alla moglie la struttura, che è una guida autorizzata. Ottima pulizia e colazione. Inoltre Saman è sua moglie sono veramente un plus per la loro cordialità. Consigliatissimo

Dit was zonder twijfel ons beste verblijf tijdens onze reis door Sri Lanka! Fijne, schone kamer met prachtig uitzicht. De eigenaren zijn ontzettend aardig, toegankelijk en geïnteresseerd. We voelden ons hier erg welkom. Het eten was geweldig. De host was ook onze gids in Sinharaja Rainforest. De jungle tour was erg goed georganiseerd. Saman nam alle tijd en wees ons op allerlei soorten, die andere gidsen zullen overslaan. Zijn enthousiasme werkt erg aanstekelijk. Zelfs s’avonds wees hij ons op allerlei soorten die rondom het verblijf voorkomen. We kunnen Rainforest Nest aan iedereen aanraden. Het was een onvergetelijke ervaring.
