Dinner was to expensive The hike was to expensive, with a guide who talked no English and not interact with us We felt a little bit plan less like where is somebody? Is there a dinner option ? When is breakfast time ? When does the hike start and where ?

The location was great! I felt so lucky to stay there Specially having a shower at the waterfall felt so great ! The staff there spoke no englisch but were very friendly

To get to the hut you need to walk a good 15 minutes in the rainforest from the last point reachable by car/tuktuk. This walk was not easy, it goes over a river, goes up and down and has slippery paths. We were carrying a lot of luggage (since our total trip in Sri Lanka was 2,5 weeks) which made that this was not an enjoyable experience. The hosts didn't really offer to help carry our stuff. The noise of the waterfall is pretty loud in the hut. But when it rains on the metal roof it gets realy loud, we put on some music on our headphones to be able to fall asleep. There were no towels available. The place is very humid which makes it difficult to let your towels and other things get dry. When the rain was pouring we noticed a small leak in the roof above the main bed (with mosquito net) which made us switch beds since rain was dripping on us. They told us they would fix this leak immediately after our stay. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner here since there's no other places to eat closeby, but they really overcharged us for the food. All the food was very spicy, they continued to give us very spicy food (even for breakfast) also after knowing that one of us didn't like the spiciness. The hosts don't speak English at all. One person came to translate and arrange some things, but his English was also not great. The guide we got for our hike in the forest didn't speak any English. He was just there to lead us the way but didn't show us any animals, didn't wait for us as we didn't walk this fast on the slippery steep paths. There were a lot of leeches in the forest. We had already encountered them on other hikes, but the guide didn't really help us to get them off our bodies and clothes. We didn't have the exact amount of money and the guide had no change so we ended up being forced to pay 5000 instead of 2000 rupees. This place is quite expensive considering all of the negative points stated above.

Very beautiful location. When the weather is good it's lovely to have a dip in the river/waterfall (aka shower). The hut is larger than we thought, the bathroom with toilet and sink was handy and clean. The hosts arranged a guide to take us for a hike in the forest.

This accommodation is primitive, mouldy pillows, old linen, damp matresses, basic dinners, no BBQ, NO facilities as per listed: there were ants, bed bugs, and bugs - totally unlike any of the description or photos on Booking.com.. Despite 3 emails from the Trekkers Hut team re arrangements, no one was expecting us, no guide had been organised as requested, nothing was clean or ready for us. We had complimentary breakfast on our booking but only received 1 breakfast on a two day stay. Basic, bananas and 6 fried coconut bites - cold - and a thermos of hot water to make tea or coffee. And the price was US $91.00 !!!!

The location was excellent, beautiful waterfall and river, relaxation in the jungle was surreal, peaceful. The staff tried their best to provide for us but were not expecting us.

The hut we stayed in was not the one in the photographs, but much older and much more simple. It was very very basic - which is fine, but you need to be prepared for it!

The location is out of this world. Truly awesome to be in the forest and close to a beautiful river and waterfall

the offer we booked corresponded to the tree house in the description and photos, after reaching the place we were told that it was for another house whose actual condition was different from the description - in my opinion this is a fraud

Located in the deep jungle unlike other properties that i stayed in sri lanka. very friendly staff They cant speak much in English but they are very friendly and sportive. They even treated me with toddy-A Local alcoholic Drink extracted from kithul palm.

Everything was good. At night, it becomes a bit cool and wet also because of the waterfall vicinity. So you need to have warm clothes with you, maybe to sleep even. These rather cold nights happen in January and February in Sri Lanka.

Trekker's Hut is located close to a wonderful waterfall and in the beginning of the forest track to Knuckles forest reserve. You can hang nearby while bathing in the waterfall or go hiking. It may take the all day and suits for nature and hiker lovers.

What a place... Away from all the hustle and stress on the streets, surrounded by nature at its finest. The whole team is doing an incredible job to make your stay one beautiful experience. You got it all right there. Jungle, waterfalls, bonfires, delicious food, and the best hiking you can find. The trail we did with the local guide was definitely one for the books. After hiking for a few kilometers through the jungle, and beautiful grasslands you will be rewarded with one of the most spectacular places on earth. But enough spoilerd. Just go there and enjoy this incredible place by yourself:) Thank you for everything

It is in the middle of the jungle, perfect to do hiking. They took care of us during our stay. It is definitely one of our favorite places we visited in Sri Lanka, highly recommended if you want adventure We are a couple, one of us loves adventure and hiking in the jungle while the other is more used to regular traveling. The adventure one just loved the place because is perfect to be in nature and just at the start of amazing trails with waterfalls (you actually sleep next to one waterfall). The other, despite not being his preferable choice, thanks to the hoster, felt safe and enjoyed the place very much. They provide typical Sri Lankan food which we loved and the hoster explained how people live there and the nature, it was great to learn so much from the locals.

Insane location, raw but fantastic

This is a once in a lifetime experience! A must-do when visiting the Sri Lanka! This jewel is located in the deep jungle, only reachable by foot. The host will meet you on the nearest road, and lead the way through the jungle. You will cross a small wooden bridge overlooking a roaring waterfall, and when you reach the property, you realize that waterfall is actually yours! Yes - you’ve got your own private waterfall!! It’s an eco property, built by locals and with reused wood material. There are two huts, one loft-hut high up with great views of the jungle, and one chalet-hut overlooking the waterfall. They’re are both incredible. There are no showers - you shower/bath in the waterfall! There is no AC and no mosquito nets - its naturally cool at night and because it’s a flourishing eco system, any mosquitos will be taken care of naturally! For trekkers, adventurers and nature lovers, you’ve hit the jackpot. I had a full day hike with one of the locals, hiking through the jungle, reaching amazing plains, a natural infinity pool and a massive waterfall. An absolutely amazing experience. Having a guide is a must to find the best places, but most importantly to not get lost in the jungle. You are treated like a king, being served amazing food, afternoon tea, coffee and more. Having some tea on the terrace, overlooking the waterfall, was truly one for the books. And the dinner experience in the garden, accompanied by a bonfire, was a truly deluxe experience too. In summery: if you’re looking for a remote, totally exclusive experience like nothing you’ve ever experience before, this is your place. I was fortunate to be their first international guest, and I can only say that when more people get to experience this place, and the word start to spread, this place will become one of those hyped places that are fully booked for many many months ahead.
