Beautiful view from the window, glass wall, close to the rainforest. The owner, at my request.arranged me a scooter to rent, he advises what to see and where to go. The owner is an experienced guide in the tropical forest. I recommend walk tour in the rain forest, scooter ride to Gongala mountain (jungle trekking and climbing to reach the rock).

With river views, Rainforest River Bay is located in Deniyaya and has accommodation with a kitchen. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms.

This place is great as well as the hosts. They made us delicious food and the room they gave us was above expectations. We came here because the host is also a tour guide. The price for the tour was a bit on the high side, 7500 per person. However, this was a very budget tour for us and it was very well worth the price. Also, breakfast is included which was very nice.

The owner is a guide of Sinharaja forest. I join a tour with him and he is so professional and knowledgeable! The tour was amazing. We walked in the forest and heard birds singing. Also captured lots of photos of endemic species, showered under waterfall, enjoyed fish therapy and bathed in pool. And then after tour, he prepared delicious dinner for us. Highly recommend everyone who wanna visit Sinharaja forest stay here.

Highlight of our tour in Sunharaja Rainforest! We absolutely loved doing this tour and would recommend it to ANYONE who wants to do an experience in Deniyaya area. Our guide Bandula was brilliant - super friendly, helpful, considerate and extremely knowledgeable - educating us not only on the food element but about Sinharaja in general. His wife cooked Srilankan authentic food for us and those were really delicious which is true but you will definitely come away feeling VERY full from all the tasters. Thank you again Bandula and while family- we wouldn't have wanted anybody else to show us around!

    Staying at the rainforest cabin was one of the highlights of our one month long stay in sri lanka. The place is incredibly beautiful and it was so nice to be surrounded by nature. Ravindra is a great host and made our stay really special. He arranged a guided rainforest tour for us and took us on a little hike close to the cabin. We would not change a thing and can only recommend staying at this hidden gem.

    The host was really nice and helpful. The location is stunning, quiet and really close to the entrance of Sinharaja. Not really anything to critize. Organized Tour was awsome! Really adventurous.

    a beautiful oasis of peace and quiet. Amidst the rain forest this guest house is in every aspect worth the trip. Any nature lover would think the ecological setup of the guesthouse in combination with its surroundings and the perfect service and meals are just brilliant.

    The property is more like a home stay run by this lovely couple who are great hosts. She cooks fantastic Sri Lankan food and he is a great guide, very resourceful. Janith helped us out with almost everything..we were keen on seeing the endemic species of birds and he made sure we saw them all by organising a bird watching tour with a guide (Kumara) who was extremely knowledgeable . He also organised a tour into the rainforest with a great guide. Clean rooms, excellent food and property. Overall a 10/10.

    I particularly enjoyed the peace and quiet of this family run place. I am a birdwatcher and stayed 8 nights and visited the park 4 times. my spare time was spent on the lovely terrace or walking the small roads and paths in the Valley. Sarath looked after every need in detail with great care! A super host! And home cooked food was top of the range!
