The Rainforest Hideaway, hotel in Deniyaya

The Rainforest Hideaway has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Deniyaya. This 3-star hotel offers room service, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi.

Staff were so friendly and accommodating Location was perfect, next to a waterfall. Yes it’s going to be noisy but when travelling around Sri Lanka, ear plugs should be essential. The host organised jungle treks which were amazing. The room itself was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great. It was lovely to have menus for lunch/dinner and drinks to order from. I will definitely be re-visiting and staying here!

Rain Forest Star, hotel in Deniyaya

Rain Forest Star is set in Deniyaya and features a garden and a restaurant. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property.

I have only good thoughts when I am thinking about this place. When I arrived I got greeted by Prubad and his wife with a big smile. Even when it was already passed lunchtime they asked me if I wanted lunch after my long trip.The pictures on the site do not really justice. It is a lot nicer. The place is new, the bathroom is super. There is a shower for cold and hot water. Prubad and his wife will do anything to make you feel at home. The first night I just been sitting on the terrace watching the thunderstorm and the fireflies flying around...it was wonderful. They have a small menu where you can choose from for breakfast, lunch and diner because you are in the jungle and there is not much around. You do not need to look for a tourguide, you can do it with them. You have different choices for tours and Prubad knows a lot about nature. I can write here a whole story how good it was but will not do that. Do not hesitate if you want to stay in the rainforest. You will not regret it

Rainforest cabin, hotel in Deniyaya

Rainforest cabin is located in Deniyaya. Each accommodation at the 3-star hotel has river views, and guests can enjoy access to a garden and to a restaurant. Every room includes a balcony.

A serene space in the heart of the jungle, surrounded by trees & peaceful scenery. You have to cross 2 streams to get to the property, making it a very magical experience. The host was very attentive, going above & beyond for us during our stay. He also took us on a hike in the area, which was one of the best hikes we’ve done. It gives you a true glimpse into rural Sri Lankan life, a highlight of our trip. We also went on a tour of Sinharaja, organised by the host, which was also amazing. We couldn’t recommend this space more.

    We did not visit deniyaya village at all but the area close to the rainforest is beautiful...the great thing about it is that it has not yet become touristy so everything at the moment seems more local and real. Not to expect too much from food,just simple local homemade

    Super.

    Super. + Simplicity is the tranquility and friendliness of the owners. Owner took us on a forest tour and showed us a lot of animals we'd never seen alone. The complete visit with the waterfalls was the most beautiful.

    Close to Singharaja Rain forest.

    Close to Singharaja Rain forest. You have also some good tourist spots which everyone can enjoy. Choice of restaurants is less. All are basic with nothing flashy. If you are depending on public transportation it is well connected to Galle and Matara from where we can get Highway buses to Colombo. Not developed as a tourist place

    Fantastic place I have been many times. the property has a bridge to enter that is broken for months now. no way a vehicle can enter or go up to the ticket counter due to this. vehicles should be parked about few KM off the site. Sinharaja is a heavenly place.

    The Hotel is situated in very cool area in which the Sathmale water fall is visible. The staff service and foods are in a greater Level. They are maintaining their own high quality there and It impressed us. The room size is very comfortable and Bathrooms are also in good size. They provides meals on time we requested and these are very clean. As it submerged into the environment, the surrounding noises are only from the nature. I will use the place again when I travel to Deniyaya area.

    The environment and the surrounding was breathtaking. The fact that the hotel was built right at the entrance of the Sinharaja rainforest was really convenient. The staff were always available, helpful and friendly. Specially the stewardess Shani was hardworking and was attending to every need. She keeps the hotel running. She sure is an asset to the business. It is a very nice place to visit for hikers and trekkers.

    Janith and his wife are exceptionally nice hosts. They care for guests wishes and comfort. The place is new, well kept, and clean. Delicious food. Hotel organised our pick up and transfer to next destination. The Sinharaja tour was with an experienced guide who really cares for the forest. Don’t expect to see many animals, enjoy the nature, sounds of the forest, waterfalls and natural fish spa.

    We had a lovely two day stay at Vini Villa, the facilities are great (clean and large shower and large bed), the Sri Lankan food that Vini's wife prepares is really good. We did the 6h day tour with Vini in the reserve and the night tour. Both were great, saw plenty of lizards, insects and birds and went swimming in the waterfall. Can only recommend, we had a very pleasant stay.

    In the middle of the rain forest, near a waterfall surrounded by trees, monkeys, lizards, frogs, and wildlife. This family establishment is well natured and taken care of. The owner is a happy soul very enthusiastic about eco systems and wildlife and will be more than happy to spot wild life for you and take you to a 1 km round tour in the rain forest. A unique place.

    Beautiful room with a breathtaking view! The owners and staff are so kind. The tour of Sinharaja park that she arranged for us was great as well. Food is mostly homemade vegetarian curries, but they have a small menu and will make you other food if you ask. Such a peaceful place to recharge and just spend time in a beautiful, serene location.
