Blue Magpie Lodge Sinharaja, hotel in Nelluwa

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.

Boulder Garden, hotel in Nelluwa

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.

The Rainforest Hideaway, hotel in Nelluwa

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 Nelluwa

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
