This is such a cool hotel, nestled in the jungle. And the novelty of staying in a tree house is quite fun! The hotel can help arrange nature walks which is a nice touch.

Overall was a pleasant experience. Be aware there are no walls in the treehouse, and could have provided at least one more fan. The property should have disclosed that they were doing loud construction wil power equipment all day from morning until approximately 5 pm to give us the option of staying elsewhere. Staff were very professional

The accommodations and food were expensive for what you got. Beds were old. It’s understandable that open air treehouses in the jungle cannot be spotless, but hotel management could still do a better job.

We really enjoyed our stay, the staff were friendly and efficient. Word of warning though - we wished we had checked Uber before arranging a taxi to our next destination. Not thinking about Uber we asked the hotel manager to arrange a car/taxi and it cost us 16,000 LKR 17000 with tip. Mr Uber 7444 LKR

Didn't match up to any of the reviews we read. It was nice enough, lights were kept on all night by others and in the path areas so it was impossible to sleep in the tree house with light bulbs glaring at eye level. Everyone was kind and polite but no activities were available despite trying to book them in advance and when we got there. It felt like perhaps someone usually in charge maybe wasn't there. But enough for me to not recommend.

2 Nights Treehouse Stay

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay in the treehouse. The staff were really helpful and very friendly. The room was as clean as it could be for a treehouse in the jungle and we enjoyed listening to the various sounds of the wildlife. We would recommend going Loris Trekking. We did manage to spot a couple of Loris’ and were amazed at how the trekker could spot them. If you would struggle with bugs and geckos everywhere, then this accommodation is not for you as there were lots of them and we did get thoroughly chomped on by the mozzies so take a good spray! Meals were not included in our stay but we had one evening meal and it was good. The facilities are basic (it’s the jungle) but the shower was hot. Overall, this was an accommodation like no other we have ever stayed in and we would recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy a jungle experience. We heard you may get visited by local monkeys too, but they didn’t find us this time :-)

A very beautiful property tucked inside a jungle. We had a wonderful stay in a tree house and loved waking up with the birds chirping in the trees. Staff was very helpful throughout our entire stay. The lion rock is only 15 mins away.

壁のないツリーハウスに宿泊しました。貴重な体験になりました。 虫やカエル、ヤモリがとても身近です。 有料のスローロリスウォーキングは、説明が20～30分、夜道のウォーキングが二時間半でした。 夜のジャングルは暗く、段差が激しく、足元がよく見えません。 歩くスピードは速いので、子どもや体力がない人にはお勧めできません。

Unique experience at great location

Amazing experience to be sleeping “outside” and waking up to the sounds of all kinds of animals. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Some of the best food we have had in Sri Lanka. Perfect location near both Sigiriya rock as well as pidurangala. We had hired bycicles to explore the surroundings, which I would highly recommend as well!

Super!

Stayed for two nights, and they where excellent! It’s very beautiful and truly an experience being so close to nature! It is very close to both Piduranagala rock and Sigiriya rock, so we climbed both with plenty extra time. The staff was super helpful with travel information and even made us our lunch to go when we where too late for elefant safari :) The food was great too! All in all I would absolutely recommend this place! We loved it!

ジャングルの近くのため先ずわかりにくい場所にあります。 壁がないため朝日と鳥のさえずりが起こしてくれます。私の場合時差があったので特に辛くなかったのですが、朝日と共に起きるのが辛いならば壁がある普通のホテルにした方が良いです。 虫が苦手な方は避けた方が良いと思いますが、蚊帳に蛍がくっついているのを見た時、感動しました。シャワーは温水出ません。

Frankly I feel bad writing this. I had just an okay experience here and others had an amazing one. They even talked about it and I overheard. Basically it boils down to this: the treehouses are amazing. But the regular cottages - which is what I got - are just okay. And that plus the very hard beds made me not want to return. Even though the service was fantastic and the food was very good. But get a treehouse and you'll be happy I'm sure.

Great jungle hideout! Highly recommend!

Lovely spot in the jungle! Highly recommend! Location is perfect we were able to walk to pidurangala for a sunset hike (literally around the corner) and then the next morning to sigiriya was about a half-mile walk down the road. Staff was super attentive! Stayed in one of the treehouses which I highly recommend-great glamping experience, not too buggy, great fans and mosquito nets, love the outdoor shower :) we didn’t see any-but apparently elephants and monkeys wander through the property regularly! Would definitely stay here again.
