Sunil's Homestay Sinharaja

Lovely location. Very helpful owner even though English was not spoken. He was very helpful and made sure we were happy. He was a great guide and really went out of his way to find the animals I wanted to photograph. He was VERY patient with me as I take macro images and was glad he gave me the time to do this. He was very kind and understanding when my husband was very poorly and couldn't come on the walk with us. It was a great location to drive into the NP car park and just look for wildlife outside the park, in the car park. Loved finding the mini ant praying mantis.

There was nothing we didn't like but a fridge would have been helpful.

Trevlig värd, väldigt vackert läge.

Kiitos erittäin hyvästä majoituksesta ja asiantuntevasta lintuopastuksesta. Kuvasimme monta harvinaista lintua, lisäksi Sunil`s vaimo valmisti koko matkamme parhaat ruuat. Sunilsin opastus ja majoitus sopii hienosti myös kokemattomallekkin retkeilijälle.

Kaikki meni hyvin.

Sunil is an extraordinary, determined, passionate, experienced, and knowledgeable guide. We saw a substantial number of the rarest birds in Sri Lanka. A retired park guide, Sunil’s expertise and energy are beyond compare. Family-style meals were also delicious. This is a modest homestay ideal for birders on a budget.

Focus is on birds, less so on other animals/plants.

This was my favourite experience in Sri Lanka!! Amazing location and a host whose knowledge of the local birds of Sinharaja can’t be beat!! Do not stay anywhere else if you are birding Sinharaja!!

We loved our stay at Sunil. It is located beautifully in nature, close to Sinharaja. We felt very welcomed by Sunil and Roshini. The food was great and we also very much enjoyed Sunil's bird guiding. He is very knowledgeable!

Nothing, but just be aware that sleeping in such a natural environment comes with the necessary bugs and musquitos 😉

Als gids in.een mooi park was Sunil erg professioneel .Alleen hebben we niet zoveel vogels gespot als verwacht. Behulpzame familie Kamer met mooi uitzicht in de natuur

Propere kamer, muggennet was handig geweest Slechte veren matras

Simple home cooked tasty food. Sunil sir is a fantastic birding guide. Very helpful.The family goes out of the way to make one comfortable.

A problem in communication.Could'nt converse in English

Incredibly friendly people, great food, nice room in a beautiful rural setting. Sunil is a retired Sinharaja park guide who even took me to a nearby place to find a rare owl. So nice!!
