Guest Reviews

• Adrian (10/5): -
• Julián (5/5): - La ubicación estaba bien, al igual que el entorno. A pesar de saber que era una cabaña en el árbol, nos pareció excesivamente "expuesta" y no apta para viajeros que buscamos ciertas comodidades.
• Geisler (10/5): - Es war wirklich super! Super sauber, leckeres Frühstück, netter Betreiber. Man hat wirklich die Natur direkt vor Augen und es war alles super sauber und man konnte sich direkt wohl fühlen. Der Preis war absolut in Ordnung. Ich würde da sofort wieder buchen!
• Emily (9/5): Beautiful treehouse, attentive host, close to major landmarks! - Beautifully built treehouse in the Sigirya jungle. Wildlife sounds to wake you up in the morning, delicious breakfast and a very attentive host, Rana. Rana built this treehouse himself and it is a testament to his hard work - it is a beautiful and peaceful spot to rest and conveniently located near to the main sights in the area. Rana helped us to plan our days whilst we were only in the area for two nights. His brother Sanjeewa is a driver and ferried us around to all the places of note which was so appreciated. Rana organised an elephant safari where we were so lucky to see the gatherting of 200+ elephants in one of the national parks, and they also supported our onward transport to Ella. It is a treehouse, there will be bugs/geckos in your room but there is a secure mosquito net so it never bothered us. There isn't AC or a fan so it can get hot whilst sleeping.
• Guest (10/5): Wir kommen gerne wieder! - Rana war super und immer zuvorkommend und rücksichtsvoll. Wir hatten fantastisches Frühstück und sogar Abendessen mit diversen Currys, Nachmittagstee, Fahrten zum See, Abholung beim Bahnhof, und und und... Wir haben uns rund um wohlgefühlt und zahlreiche Elefanten und andere Tiere gesehen, was wir gar nicht erwartet hatten. Das Treehouse ist wunderschön gelegen und bietet direkt von dort super Tierbeobachtung und nachts Dschungelgeräusche. Für uns war es toll!
• Ester (10/5): - Rana, sua moglie e i loro figli sono delle persone davvero eccezionali che cercano di aiutarti in ogni maniera possibile. Ti accolgono a casa loro cucinando per te i loro piatti tipici e facendoti immergere nella vera vita cingalese. La casa è molto semplice ma carina e ti permette di immergerti nei rumori della giungla. A meno che non abbia impegni suoi, Rana ti accompagna dovunque tu abbia bisogno senza esitara, mostrandoti quei posti non turistici che da solo sarebbe difficile scoprire. Esperienza davvero meravigliosa
• Blanca (10/5): Buenísima experiencia - Le damos un 12/10 a este guest house! Fue una experiencia maravillosa. El lugar es increíble para vivir una buena experiencia en medio de la jungla! Es una casita monísima con mucha privacidad y muy bien cuidada en mitad de la jungla a 15min caminando del pidurangala. Está todo muy limpio, evidentemente teniendo en cuenta que al estar en medio de la jungla hay todo de tipo de insectos diferentes, pero hay una mosquitera en la cama y es más que suficiente para dormir tranquilo sin mosquitos. Teníamos organizado con Rana (propietario) un safari en Minneriya pero el día anterior le informaron de que habían muchos más elegantes en Kaudulla y fuimos allá, fue increíble, fuimos con sus dos hijos y además de ver a muchísimos elefantes súper cerca, son súper agradables y con sus ahorros nos quisieron invitar a merendar, son increíbles gracias Lakshan y Dinesh. Por otro lado tuvimos una súper experiencia con sus hijos ya que nos llevaron de forma totalmente gratuita a ver parte de la jungla que tienen en casa y nos mostraron todos los árboles frutales, el conteo de vacas que tienen y hasta nos dejaron subir a una atalaya de vigilancia de elefantes. Vimos por la noche 1 el elegante a menos de 100 metros desde nuestra casita y fue inolvidable. Fuimos de excursión a ver el atardecer al pidurangala y a la mañana siguiente fuimos a Lions Rock, y aunque esta segunda es más cara muy recomendable también. La comida que nos dieron tanto desayuno, comida y cena fue muy rica, con productos de su propia finca. El precio es muy correcto y sin duda por la experiencia pagaríamos más! Lakshan and Dinesh You have some good friends in Spain and if you ever come I hope you'll let us know. Thanks for all!
• Guest (10/5): - Rana and his wife went out of their way to help us, including an early morning drop off to walk Piduragala Rock. The food was excellent - Rana prepared an excellent dinner for us after our late arrival and the breakfast was delicious. A peaceful spot.
• IULIIA (10/5): Уютный домик посреди джунглей - Огромное спасибо за тёплый прием! Рана помогает во всем, он забрал меня с остановки, отвез в разные нужные места, показал Сигирию. А его жена готовит вкуснейшие завтраки и ужины. Уютный домик на дереве Рана сделал своими руками. Рекомендую всем, кто хочет отдохнуть посреди настоящих джунглей!
• N (9/5): -
• Petra (10/5): Highly recommended for nature lovers - The treehouse, which is the only one on the property, was very airy, with a comfortable bed and a deck to enjoy the banana garden view. Very good breakfast (and dinner if requested) was served at the table below the tree house. The bathroom with shower was adequate. The hosts Rana and his wife are very welcoming. Rana himself drove the jeep in the Minneriya National Park and also drove us to Anuradhapura at the end of our stay. His brother took us to Dambulla by tuktuk. Great quiet location from where you can easily walk to climb Pidurangala Rock. Very few moskitos, at least when we were there. We liked everything.
• Thomas (8/5): -
• Nebojša (7/5): Good -
• Abigail (9/5): Excellent host, couldn’t recommend enough! - Rana was the best host! He picked me up from the bus station, took me to the small rock and climbed it with me for sunrise and then made me a huge breakfast! I mentioned also I needed an ATM and he offered straight away to take me there so I didn’t have to pay for a Tuktuk. There were a lot of bugs in the room, but it’s to be expected when you’re staying practically in the jungle.
• Tom (8/5): Very good -
• Caroline (9/5): Superb - Rana Treehouse is a stunning place to stay, surrounded by lush greenery. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast while watching buffaloes and birds. Rana is a great host who even took us on a motorcycle tour around his town. We had a great time!
• Hannah (10/5): Exceptional - I stayed with Rana for three nights. The treehouse is surrounded by palmtrees and fields. Around the treehouse live cows, peacocks, waterbuffalos and so many more animals. I loved just watching them while having a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast. The host Rana is very welcoming and you can see instantly that he is very passionate about his selfbuilt Treehouse. We went on Elefant Jeep Safari and climed Pidurangala Rock for Sunset. He also took me to a waterfall and to the lake (which had stunning views on the two rocks!!!) He drove me around for all three days and showed me around his village. I felt very welcome and it definitely was a great adventure! Highly recommend!!! (There was bad to no Wifi so download an audiobook or bring a book and enjoy some unplugged time in the jungle)
• Jorine (9/5): Review Rana Treehouse - We had a great stay at Rana Treehouse. It is a really nice experience. The owner is really nice and wants to make you feel good and comfy. He took us around his village and was great company. It is about 25 minute walk to Pidurangala Rock but he can also offer you a lift with his bike. The view from the treehouse is really nice, in the jungle. You hear a lot of bird sounds, which is really nice and relaxing. We stayed there for 2 nights. You get breakfast at his place and for dinner he can take you to a restaurants nearby. Highly recommended!! It can be hot in the night because there is no air conditioning.
• Rob_nijhof (10/5): Stop looking, book this one, you won't regret it - Amazing experience. In the middle of nature's paradise between palm trees and banana trees, surrounded by different animals like different birds, squirrels and peacocks, is the Treehouse with a comfi bed and toilet and shower. It is a shame we had to leave, because we could stay here for two weeks more. The owner is a friendly, welcoming guy who serves an excellent breakfast with fresh coffee or tea and Sri Lankan foods like pancakes and different buns and cookies. Very tasty! The place is the perfect location for trips to the Pidurangala Rock (20 minute walk) and the Sigiriya Lion Rock. If you are interested in visiting the Pidurangala Rock for example, I highly recommend you book this place for at least 2 nights. You will not regret it. There is really nothing to dislike about this Treehouse homestay.
• Luca (10/5): Exceptional - The owner Rana is a super nice and helpful guy who even took us on a tour to Pidurangala in his free time. Breakfast is great, the Treehouse (which he built himself 😳) is very cute and cozy
• Léa (10/5): Exceeded our expectations - Wow - this place exceeded our expectations. So far the best accomodation we had ! It's really like the photos. The view is amazing, the tree house is in the back of the garden and we feel totally alone. Rana is very welcoming and he is very generous. The food (we had dinner and the complimentary breakfast) was one of the best we've had in Sri Lanka. We highly recommend to eat there ! This place is perfectly located, only 20mins walk to Pidurangala rock, the alternative to Sigiriya. This place is a gem ! 100% recommended ! Nothing, everything was perfect !
• Christopher (10/5): 5 star simple organic gem - Rana the owner and builder of the homestay is top notch. He is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and even a safari tour guide as well. The tree house has a huge deck pointed out towards the jungle and the wildlife, greenery, and sheet serenity is as peaceful as it gets. Cant give enough thanks. Wonderful time. And cant forget about the amazing breakfast and slam apple village tea.
• Takeshi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chathu (10/5): Exceptional - Ideal place to be free with a beautiful environment. Dinner and breakfast with delicious food and drinks are very tasty. Although it is an elephant-friendly area, they can be easily seen by a high-rise area. I was able to spend my travel trip fun and beautiful. Thank you ; Ranjan (Rana Treehouse)
