This was the loveliest place we stayed in Sri Lanka. We loved the imaginative and creative visual style of the hotel. - the rock hewn bathroom and the metal buckets converted to lighting! The bed was really comfortable . The quality of the food and cooking was superb - the best we had and the staff were intelligent, kind welcoming and enthusiastic about the incredible rainforest setting and the surrounding wildlife. Finally the infinity pool looking out over the rainforest is without doubt the most exceptional luxury I have ever experienced!

As a solo traveler I was very impressed by the professionalism of the staff at the Jansen’s Bungalow Sinharaja Retreat. Bungalow is located adjacent to a nearby stream and the surrounding area is so beautiful. Room and the bathroom were very clean and well presented. Staff at the bungalow looked after me really well. If you are a nature lover and keen to explore the unesco heritage Sinharaja Rain Forest this is the best place to stay. I stayed at the bungalow for two nights. I wish I stayed there for more. Chanaka took me to the entrance gate at the Sinharaja forest in the bungalow’s tuk tuk and arrange a tour guide for me to explore the Sinharaja forest. Once I completed the hike Chanaka came back to pick me up and on the way to the bungalow he took me to see the Duli Ella. Food was delicious which was prepared by Chanaka. Sri Lankan and western dishes were in the menu which you can choose from. Kasun and Sandaruwan also provided a great service. I will definitely stay at this bungalow if I visit Sinharaja again ❤️

Great place to use as a base for bird watching and walking, clean and welcoming with an old world feel, almost as if you were at home, pool was clean and inviting and the view from the pool over the valley is truly amazing. Only downside was the food could have been better but it was still fine.

What to say about this lodge!!! Amazing location - one of the best i have ever been - (note that photos underestimate the place)!, amazing people, the manager and the staff are just fantastic, very good rooms, excellent food (among the best we found in 2-weeks in sri lanka), and amazing safaris! if you are interested in birdwatching the area around the lodge can give a full day on itself!!!

This is a real gem close to the Sinharaja Rainforest NP. The property is historic and beautiful. The location and scenery are even better. You can walk down to the river and swim there in pure nature or in the infinity pool of the hotel. Spectacular views, you are in the middle of the rainforest with all the luxury you can think of. Excellent food too. We were sorry to leave.

What a fantastic experience. Beautiful setting, fantastic rooms and tremendous staff. The room was very large with a fabulous bed and bathroom. Lovely news from.the balcony. The pool and surround were calm, clean and dreamy. A fantastic place to relax. We were welcomed by the staff and they were there to help with anything you needed. The restaurant served fresh , tasty meals. A little bit of paradise!!

We spent 3 nights here whilst taking trips into the rainforest. It’s in a magical location, high up on a hill overlooking the rainforest. Whilst we were there, there were spectacular rain storms in the afternoon and early evening, which I absolutely loved watching from the verandah of the property. The property itself was clean and tidy, and our room was simple but perfectly acceptable. The mattress wasn’t particularly good, but it was ok for the time we spent there. Food was pretty good, but given that every meal is taken at the property (there is nothing else around), the menu becomes a bit repetitive after 3 days. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Tuk tuk rides to the forest entrance were provided, and they also organised our transfer to the next destination. I think the options for accommodation close to the rainforest entrance are pretty limited, and I would certainly recommend Jansen’s Bungalow.
