Bungalows in Deniyaya

Wonderfull place, incredible owner of the hotel. So gratefull to be there.

Absolutely the Best Way to Explore the Sinharaja Rainforest! This was our favourite place we stayed on Sri Lanka trip. This eco-lodge is hands down the ultimate way to experience the magic of the Sinharaja Rainforest. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear you’re in for something extraordinary. The location is beyond words—completely surrounded by lush rainforests, making you feel truly immersed in nature. It is so peaceful and quite - no noise from roads, traffic etc. The staff made our entire stay seamless and stress-free. They have a convenient car park in the nearby village, where they meet you and transfer you up to the lodge in a 4x4—what a fun start to the adventure! We stayed for two nights (but would have happily stayed a 3rd). The accommodation is spectacular. Large windows on every side of the room allow you to feel like you’re right in the heart of the jungle. Waking up to the incredible sounds of the rainforest was unforgettable, and we even spotted monkeys and exotic birds right in our room! Amazingly, you also get wifi in your room. The staff were outstanding, from the friendly restaurant team to the knowledgeable guides. On arrival, the Duty Manager, Mithun, warmly welcomed us, explained all the details about meal times, and helped us plan treks into the rainforest. They offer a variety of treks and provide you with a guide. They are also pretty flexible, We wanted a longer trek to explore more of the jungle and this wasn't a problem. The trek itself was a dream. We spotted an incredible variety of wildlife, including lizards, snakes, and a stunning array of Sri Lankan birds. The guides were so knowledgeable and enhanced the experience. Overall, this was incredible value for money. Running such a well-maintained eco-lodge in the middle of the rainforest can’t be easy, yet they make it feel effortless. If you’re looking for great value for money and an unforgettable way to explore Sinharaja, this is absolutely it.

The lodge itself is amazing, really stylish, with an incredible swimming pool, and matches perfect with the wild forest. But for us the best of this place is the team. We stayed there during Ditwah cyclone, and Lasith, Amal, Hansen and all team without exception were incredible. We could stay one more night safe and they did their best to help us in everything and informing about the sad situation the island was living constantly. We could leave the hotel without problem the day after and return home safe. There are many amazing lodges in the world, this is one for sure, but what really makes an stay unforgetable is when you have a problem and the hotel team helps you to solve it with efficiency and a big smile. Jansens' lodge is the place. We would like to say Thank You once to all of you again and for sure we will come back to see you again and stay in this lovely lodge
