Boulder Garden, hotel in Kalawana

This boutique hotel is nestled in the jungle, boasting views over beautifully manicured lowland tea estates on the fringe of remote Kalawana.

This wasn't our first stay, so we obviouly like this place. The manager Anand couldn't have been kinder. He looked after us like super VIPs. He was everywhere making sure that we were fine. A big thank you to him. We forgot a swim suit and he offered to send it by courier service to our next hotel, which he did. The hotel itself is small and not for everyone. The rooms needs a complete rework - they don't do this place justice. They are in a poor state. But the location is incredible and I hope, this will never change - please never cut ANY of the trees! This is the biggest asset- the jungle and all its noises, the beautiful light filtering through the canopy.

Virgin Forest Inn, hotel in Kalawana

The hosts are very nice! The food was good as well. It is a 10 min tuktuk drive to the park entry and I can really recommend the place. They do have hot water for shower as well. They helped out and organized transportation. Everything was perfect.

Blue Magpie Lodge Sinharaja, hotel in Kalawana

Situated in Kudawe in the Ratnapura District region, Blue Magpie Lodge Sinharaja features accommodation with free private parking.

This was our second stay here which was 7 years ago. The property has much improved and is far better than it used to be. We only stayed as it is close to the entrance for the rainforest walk but we were pleased we chose here again due to the improvements and the staff were far more friendly than they were last time. Breakfast was nice but basic, we didn't have the evening meal. I certainly think it deserves more than a 6 score as shown on booking.com so I have given an 8. It is expensive but there isn't much choice at this entrance to the rainforest. We have visited from both entrances and we consider this to be the best and quietest.

    The location is on the border of the Sinharaja National Rain Forest Reserve, so visiting the place is a short drive away. The temperature in the area is comfortable and you can stay comfortably with the aid of a fan. There isn't much else to see other than Sinharaja Forest.
