    Nothing. One suggestion: don't let your driver rely on google maps to find the hotel. It is very easy to find from the main road to Sigiriya by turning at the sign marked for "Jetwing" and you'll soon be there.

    Jungle hut was probably our favorite place to stay of all the places our family stayed in Sri Lanka over 2 weeks. The manager was so friendly and helpful in arranging transport, safari, and making suggestions. The hotel is small so you really feel like you are treated well. We had the pool to ourselves most afternoons, the beds are comfortable, air con is effective, and food in the restaurant was very nice. We also loved seeing peacocks in the fields and monkeys in the trees around the pool. A great visit!

    We would appreciate a clean bathroom. Also, the owner told us not to follow the location from google maps. Because we arrived during the night, following his instructions was totally wrong. We recommend to use Google Maps location, was easier to follow that one.

    We liked the location, being in the middle of the jungle and the garden was amazing! The room spacious same as the bed (big one)! Food was also tasty ❤️

    Nothing to mention

    The property is located in a wooded area as the name aptly suggests. The owner Sunimal has taken extreme measures to ensure the fully grown trees are preserved. The buildings blend with nature and it was a pleasure to stay there. The staff were friendly and the food was excellent.

    We were missing a place to sit outside (some of the rooms did have it though). Location couldnt easily be found via google maps (wrong directions). A screenshot with the right way to reach the place would have been helpfull. Since the location is pretty in the middle of nowhere your quit dependent on the food there, which was tastefull but quite pricy.

    Nice big rooms, comfi bed, fine shower, cool location in the jungle (sometimes eleohants closeby). Nice owner. He arranges trips for a reasonable price. Pool is (small but) nice.

    The power went out a couple of times, but it kicked back in within the hour (but not sure if there was anything they could do about it). The ac didn’t seem to work super great, but we weren’t fussy and didn’t mention anything until we left and they said they would look into it. It’s off the beaten track - so if you’re looking for something near the action, it might not be the best option. But if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway - this is your spot!

    Beautiful setting, wonderful staff. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The jungle surroundings were very peaceful. Lots of food options on site and very reasonably priced.

    We arrived late, 9.30 pm after an evening safari. We were extremely pleased with the reception we received from the host. He made us feel very welcome and organised an evening meal for us. The restaurant/bar food was huge and tasty, although a little cold, but I'm told this is normal for Sri Lankans. The room was lovely and clean and well furnished and new. You are right in the jungle and the whole place has a nice calming jungle feel. The pool was lovely and it was nice to take a dip after a hot day travelling around.

    Suni was a fantastic host. You can rely on him to take care of you and make the best of your holidays in this area. The accommodations are great, modern and the staff is kind and there 24hours for you. Highly recommend if you want to explore Dambulla, Sigiriya, Pollonaruva and still feel the countryside quietness.

    Nothing to complain

    The resort is located on a countryside surrounded by a jungle full on beatuyfull and interesting birds and animalls. It is a beautyfull calm place lead by a very kind and helpfull stuff, ready to fulfill all of your needs. Especially any support with organising the sightseeing routes to interesting places. You will find here original wooden bungalows (some rooms with a tree inside!), with air condotion and full equipment, that you may need. Kitchen will offer you excellend food. You can also use a nice pool from early morning till late evening hours. During nightime the silence will be broken only by the sounds of a wild nature. ❤️🐘🐒 I really recomend this place. Many thanx for Suni (owner) for such a great hospitality.

    I spent my birthday at Jungle Hut Resort and absolutely loved it. I was in a terrible mood when I arrived as the rain had stopped us from climbing Lion Rock but an afternoon swimming in the pool in the gorgeous garden of the resort soon cheered me up. Our room was beautiful, exceptionally clean, had a very comfortable bed...and even a tree growing through it. The resort is surrounded by nature. Whilst swimming in the pool, we witnessed the spectacular sight of about 100 huge bats flying overhead and unfortunately missed the elephants trying to sneak into the garden during the night. In the evening, we enjoyed delicious food and cocktails and chatting with the owner who is a lovely, interesting man. The best part was when the staff surprised me with the happy birthday song, balloons and cake! It absolutely made my day. Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff who went above and beyond! 10/10 would stay again and again!

    Wi-Fi was a bit patchy. We needed it for onward travel plans. It was easy to arrange transport to restaurants but near this in mind if you like to walk.

    This is a really cool chilled hut in the jungle. A short tuk tuk ride to town and many restaurants. Easy to arrange taxi transfers and trips to nearby areas. Pool was a plus for the kids. Food was really good.
