The rainforest is superb, the views stunning and the treehouse was great fun. We expected all of those things but what we didn't expect was to meet the most amazing guy in Arun, the resident naturalist. The highlight of our stay was the minutes and hours we spent with Arun. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about all animals and plants but he is also a real free spirit and general all round hero. He was fantastic with our boys and we all had such a fantastic time with him and learn so much from him.

Intimate setting meant service by naturalist is somewhat overbearing. Huge pressure to pay for activities. If you want to relax in nature, try to feel comfortable saying no.l to excursions. Own excursions are very inaccessible even with own transport.

Beautiful setting, really in the middle of nowhere if you’re into that. The owners and restaurant staff are lovely and welcoming. Food was amazing. Accommodation was clean, comfortable and unique.

Leeches, we were traveling during rain time and too many leeches . I felt summer is the best time to visit this property

It is situated in the forest and the view is to die for , away from the crowd and pollution.

It will be great if wifi facilities are added to the rooms as well, other than all everything was perfect.

Excellent property, tasty food and the staff took so much care of our needs. Very well mannered and helpful staff. We loved our stay, it was relaxing.

The views from the chalets are incredible and the staff were fantastic. The chalets are very tasteful in their design. If you love nature, this is the place for you

It is very difficult to drive down to the site off the main road.. Best to be picked up off th rmain road in their tuk tuk.

The room and the view were wonderful. Great bathroom and bed. Good food too.

The road to the property is in poor condition. There was no Wi-Fi. The water heater tank could be bigger - I once ran out of hot water while washing my hair (medium length) in the shower, not even mentioning filling the bath. If you don’t have your own means of transport, you have to rely on the staff to arrange trips for you. For reference, here are the prices driver asked for the round trip by small car + waiting time enough to finish the activities: Horton plains 12000 lkr, Lipton seat 10000 lkr, Udawalawe 17000 lkr. There is no terminal to pay by card, they take record of your card’s info and charge you later.

Great little house with wonderful views. The food was very good - we got to choose Sri Lankan or western breakfast, and one from 3-4 options of main dish for dinner (starters were fixed but good anyway). Staff was always doing their best whenever we needed assistance.

The restaurant at the place was really overpriced, and there’s no restaurants around to eat good food that is not super spicy.

The room was nice and the views were beautiful

No Wifi. Chalets are not well sealed, too many insects, frogs and lizards get inside. Nearby temple starts chant for 1 hour at 5AM every morning. The chanting is atmospheric but it is also loud and there is no way to sleep through it.

Food excellent. View at location is outstanding. Guide did a fantastic job. Chalets are stunning.

But. This place was very short staffed, two people working in total none of whom were very good at english(however, they were all very nice), no manager in sight the days we stayed there - i expect more paying 130$ a night. Bad dinner and expensive menu, the fried rice and chicken could’ve been straight out of a froeezing bag, while being about 2x the price of the restaurants we’ve been to in the country. Also, you’re in the middle of nowhere - a part of the charm - but not if the food is bad, because you really have no other options. Drinks, smoothies, and fruit smoothies also about 2x the usual restaurant prize. Really limited activites to do, so only go here id you want to chill with a nice view and a lot of space(bring a lot of snacks and fruit) The private pool, which added about 40-50$ to the prize was very cold, no way to heat it - don’t opt for it unless you like ice baths. A lot of ants in the house/bungalow, even woke up with one in our bed in the morning, no mosquito net for the big bed to keep the bugs out. Almost no attention to the food preferences and allergies we noted the staff about. Fairly easy fixes to these peoblems, that could make for a wonderful stay.

This place has a lot of potential - absolutely wonderful view (despite the two trees right in front of the porch), nice spacious houses, and a good bed. THE VIEW

Dinner was very disappointing - 2 thin slices of pineapple for pudding is not funny. Would be so much better if they did authentic Sri Lankan cuisine instead of very poor western food. No guides to show us around - disappointing Telling us at check out that the credit card machine was broken in the middle of nowhere does not help. Only wifi is in the dining area and they forgot to renew the package

Location was great and views fantastic

- there was a mix up regarding the room we booked so we waited in another and tried to resolve the issue. the manager was very helpful and understanding but it made us even more exhausted after the long road - there is neither built in ventilation nor ac, just a fan. so if you keep the balcony door open, esp. at night, the place got swamped with insects. without open balcony door you will suffocate. there is a mosquito net for bed, however - the linens were not quite clean - the road to the hotel isn't good - not much places you can go by feet, you need tuktuk or car - there is no card reader so you can pay via money transfer of cash

- the view is nice and you get a feeling of tranquility surrounded by nature, lots of birds - all staff members are quite nice and trying to do their best - the food is generally good, some meals were delicious, food can be served in the room - bathroom is spacious - good wifi - good communication with the manager via whatsapp, he was really helpful with all issues we had and with a transfer
