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

Located in Deniyaya, Rainforest cabin offers 3-star accommodation with a garden, a terrace and a restaurant. Each room includes a patio.

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.

    Great location for visiting the Sinharaja rainforest. Tour guide is arranged by the hosts. Great guide who can make gorgeous pictures and has a sharp eye for animal spotting. Beautiful swimming pool with fireflies. Definitely go swimming in the dark (in your phone light). Cute dogs. Good food by the mother for a fair price. Use a tuk tuk rather than taxi from Deniyaya, because the road is not suitable for a car. The host was kind enough to offer us a tuk tuk ride to our taxi driver. There are mosquito nets around the bed, use them!

    The owner is super helpful and friendly, help us with everything we needed. The terrace outside is nice to sit and chill and just watch some animals goes by like birds, squirrels, mongooses and some more. Mahesh the owner said he can also make us food if we'd like that but we ate outside in a local place. Really amqzing place to stay if youre planning to go see Sinharaja rain forest. The woner will help you figure out the busses to go there if you want to save some money and not pay for a tuktuk

    This was one of the most amazing experiences in Sri Lanka. The family that owns the place is extremely helpful and friendly (ask about the tours of the rainforest, that is just round the corner, eldest son is working there as a guide), the views from the terrace are breathtaking - on top of the valley, with tea plantations beneath (wake up early to enjoy your coffee with a view). And the infinity pool!!! Tasty breakfast, lots of beautiful flowers, nature - perfect place!

    We really enjoyed our stay in the Evergreen Villa a lot. The room is really nice and very clean. The Villa has good food and is located right next to Sinharaja rainforest. Saman, the owner of the hotel is very nice and did an adventure tour through the rainforest with us. (He does different tours, depending on how long you want to walk 😉) He knows a lot about the forest and the animals that live there. We had a great time! Thank you 'samahara Saman' 😁

    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.

    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.

    It is less than a Km from the Meredipitia bus stop. The breakfast is so good. They will take good care of you. I traveled solo and the hospitality was too good. They also recommend best guides for the Sinharaja rain forest tour. No wifi, good signal reception from dialog and SLTMobitel in the area. It is not a hostel as the name says. There are two large spacious rooms - one double sharing and one triple sharing room

    if you think the photos are incredible, wait until you see the real thing! This was by far the most exciting and unique hotel we have ever been to. The hotel and grounds are beautiful, with a diverse range of wildlife. The manager could not be more helpful, kind or caring. He was extremely accommodating for our trip and organised several nature treks for us. His wife is a friendly lady and a fantastic cook!

    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.

    The name says it all - it is a few charming wooden houses by the river and waterfalls. Absolutely stunning, secluded location for those looking for eco experience far away from civilization! The host will help you organize all your trips around Sinharaja at a very good price. I couldn’t recommend this place more - you need to check it with your own eyes!

    For the price the place was amazing. It was the nearest hotel to Sinharaja Entrance. And the Staff was super friendly. They contacted the guide for us at a lower price and we went through Sinharaja forest for around 12 Km. Delicious food and the room was with a nice view.

    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.
