Location, food, nature, people. Everything was absolutely fantastic! First of all, we were in the jungle, close to plantations with rice fields in which peacocks live (!). It looks amazing. Nelum organized a trip to the jungle for us. His brother Achi was a great guide so we saw a lot of animals: hanging parrots, kingfishers, monkesy, snakes, spiders, chameleons, lizards and a civet (!) on the terrace. The sounds of chipmunks, birds, monkeys and an elephant (?) woke us up in the morning. Sinharaja Rest offers really delicious food. Don't hesitate to buy dinners even if you bought BB only. One more thing: the hotel is built on the rock which can be seen inside!!!

I absolutely loved the family homestay environment here. I was welcomed with so much gratitude and generosity. The view here is fantastic and you could not ask for more. The meals were better than any restaurant and cooked to order with very big portion sizes.

The owners were very nice people and we had plenty of space for the family with three kids. It's at the edge of the rainforest, and everything is green around the house. The breakfast was perfect, even my choosy daughter had good variety. We had a rainforest tour with the owner's father, and this little old man was the best choice we could make. He spotted all the animals on the way and simply couldn't stop explaining everything on the way, and finally we ended up having the tour two hours longer than planned. If you also go with him give our greetings to him. We would return any time.

Gihan and his family are extremly welcoming and nice. They made delicious local dinners and breakfast, showed me around the beautiful garden and river behind the house and really provided with everything I needed. Gihan also took me to the jungle for a trekking which was really beautiful. He's very knowledgeable about the forest and the area and also does a lot of conservation work to protect this important habitat. I can recommed anyone that is looking for a simple and authentic homestay close to Sinharaja to stay with Gihan. The prices for the accommodation, food and jungle trek were all more than reasonable and worth every penny. Bohoma stuti Gihan!

Everything is great. Mr. Bandula, the owner, who is truly exceptional and a respected figure in Deniyaya town. If your plans include staying in Deniyaya for the purpose of exploring Sinharaja, he is undoubtedly the best and coolest guide out there who knows every single inch of Sinharaja. Their warm hospitality, home made food and the cozy atmosphere at Eco Villa truly make it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommended.

    Atmosphere, Vibe 👌 Its right next to the Forest Entrance. TikiriBanda is the man! He helped us in many ways to make our stay a comfortable one as well as the other staff members. Food is average can give 7/10, and bit expensive for locals. So its better to book it full or half board. Overall 7/10 for everything.
