Such a unique beautiful calming location. The family who run the hideaway are all attentive, generous and go above and beyond to make sure you have a memorable stay. I was able to swim in the river each day and eat delicious home cooked meals 3 times a day. I had not planned to visit the rainforest or this area of Sri Lanka and I ended up pivoting to find some solace for my final three nights and I'm so glad I did. Thank you to the property owners for looking after me. I'd love to stay again when I return to Sri Lanka.

We cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough. We spent three weeks in Sri Lanka, and this stay will always remain the most special for so many reasons. Saman and Umesha, the husband-and-wife hosts, are truly exceptional. Saman guided us on incredible day and night rainforest safaris, with an astonishing ability to spot wildlife including snakes, lizards, scorpions, and owls while also sharing his deep knowledge of the trees, plants, and fauna. Their son was also wonderful and helped out with everything, which made our stay feel even more personal and welcoming. Umesha looked after us so warmly and attentively, preparing amazing breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her kindness and happiness perfectly reflected the very best of Sri Lankan hospitality. The accommodation overlooks beautiful paddy fields, where we could relax on the balcony and watch kingfishers, monitor lizards, eagles, and water buffalo. One evening, Saman even showed us huge owls hunting late at night right in front of our place, an experience we will never forget. The rooms felt secure, clean, and comfortable, with everything we needed, including a hot shower. Saman also kindly took us in his tuk-tuk to a local tea factory, stopping along the way to visit a waterfall and shop in the nearby village. It truly made us feel part of the local community. We learnt so much during our stay and will always treasure these special days. An unforgettable experience in every way.

Our stay at The Wilds in Deniyaya was truly tranquil and peaceful, with the perfect setting right beside the Sinharaja Forest. Rooms were clean, comfortable and adequate for 5 people, and the food was delicious. The hosting family was warm and welcoming and the owner also guided our tour into Sinharaja forest. It was a great stay and very good value for money.

During our three unforgettable weeks in Sri Lanka, this was undoubtedly THE best place we stayed. Everything about it was flawless, but what made it truly stand out was the magical setting. Nestled amidst lush greenery, the villa offers an unparalleled connection to nature – you genuinely feel like you’re immersed in the rainforest, which isn’t surprising given that the stunning Sinharaja Forest Reserve is just moments away. The views are absolutely breathtaking. Whether you’re lounging by the serene pool or relaxing on your private balcony, the vistas are like nothing I’ve experienced before – vibrant, tranquil, and endlessly captivating. The villa itself is equally impressive, with a warm wooden chalet vibe. It was spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully equipped with all the amenities you’d need, including a fridge, plenty of sockets, and cosy furnishings. It felt like a luxurious home away from home. The attention to detail here was exceptional. Having stayed in several five-star hotels, I can confidently say this villa meets, if not exceeds, that standard. The staff deserve special mention – they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making our stay perfect. Nothing was too much trouble. They arranged everything for us, from TukTuks to local tours, and even went above and beyond to make my 30th birthday celebration extra special, complete with personalised touches. The pool was another highlight – beautifully maintained, it was the ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploring. And the food? Simply sublime. Dining in their charming greenhouse-style restaurant, surrounded by the garden’s lush greenery, was an experience in itself. Each meal was a delight, made even better by the panoramic views. In short, everything about this place was exceptional. If you’re looking for a blend of luxury, nature, and outstanding hospitality, this is it. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

The Location is very beautiful, situated in the jungle in a small village. The family was incredibly kind and made our stay feel like home. We had delicious homemade, traditional dinner and breakfast. The house is close to the entrance to Sinharaja Forest and they recommended us a great Guide who spotted lots of animals and showed us many ayurverdic healing plants. I can‘t recommend this place enough :)

I stayed here for two nights. The guest house is very new and furnished to a very high standard. I was greeted with juice and fruit. The hosts were extremely courteous and friendly. Breakfast was included, lunch and dinner could be chosen from a menu with fair prices and was very tasty. The accommodation is very easy to reach on foot from the Mederipitiya bus stop, but the host also offered to pick me up from there. On my departure day, I was kindly taken to the bus stop and helped to find the right bus to my next destination. In summary, I was very impressed with the hospitality and helpfulness of the hosts and I would definitely recommend booking this accommodation.

Super. + Simplicity is the tranquility and friendliness of the owners. Owner took us on a forest tour and showed us a lot of animals we'd never seen alone. The complete visit with the waterfalls was the most beautiful.

Close to Singharaja Rain forest.

Close to Singharaja Rain forest. You have also some good tourist spots which everyone can enjoy. Choice of restaurants is less. All are basic with nothing flashy. If you are depending on public transportation it is well connected to Galle and Matara from where we can get Highway buses to Colombo. Not developed as a tourist place

Fantastic place I have been many times. the property has a bridge to enter that is broken for months now. no way a vehicle can enter or go up to the ticket counter due to this. vehicles should be parked about few KM off the site. Sinharaja is a heavenly place.

We absolutely loved this hotel. It’s hard to believe it’s so gorgeous, situated in the middle of dense jungle. The villa has such luxurious, comfortable rooms with incredible views. The food cooked by the family was the best vegetable curry we’ve had in the whole of Sri Lanka. We only stayed one night but wish we stayed more! We did a day tour and night tour and both were fantastic. Highly recommend staying here :)

The hotel is located just a 3-minute walk from the Sinharaja reserve/forest. The accommodation itself is simple, as it’s right in the middle of the forest/jungle, but the guide is truly exceptional. The hardest part here isn’t finding a place to stay, but rather finding a good guide to help you discover the local wildlife and flora.
