The most amazing place! Saman and Umesha are the best hosts you could wish for and Saman the best wildlife guide I have had to date. The Sinjarja rainforest is so beautiful and teaming with incredible birds and reptiles. Samans knowledge and keen eye found us some of the best wildlife I have ever seen. What a special place with special owners. I can't wait to go back. You must stay and experience it for yourself you will not be disappointed! Miss this place so much already x
It was perfect in everyway. Stripped back and back into nature. Wonderful!

Saman and Umesha are warm and welcoming … they helped us feel immediately at home. The rooms were clean and had ample space for a family of four. The surrounding area is so relaxing, a true break from the everyday life back home. Saman is an excellent tour guide and a great animal and bird spotter. He explained everything so well to us. Umesha’s freshly prepared breakfast and dinner were really good. We highly recommend them and their stay. Thank you so much dear Saman and Umesha.

Our stay at Rainforest Nest was one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such genuine warmth that we truly felt less like guests and more like part of the family. The kindness and generosity shown by everyone were extraordinary. When I became unwell during our stay, they helped take us to the pharmacy, made sure I got the medication I needed, and even prepared homemade soup for me. Their care and compassion turned what could have been a difficult experience into one where we felt completely looked after. It is something we will never forget. A special mention must go to Saman, whose guiding skills are simply outstanding. His ability to spot wildlife in the Sinharaja Rainforest is incredible. We would have walked straight past so many fascinating animals and birds without him. His knowledge of the rainforest, patience, and sharp eye made every walk exciting, and thanks to him we saw an amazing variety of wildlife that we would never have found on our own. The accommodation itself is peaceful, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring Sinharaja. Waking up surrounded by nature and enjoying delicious home-cooked meals made the experience even more special. If you are looking for more than just a place to stay—if you want genuine Sri Lankan hospitality, exceptional guiding, and to feel truly cared for—I cannot recommend Rainforest Nest highly enough. Thank you to the whole family for making us feel so welcome. We hope to return one day.
