Hotels near Mukalanhena

The owner was so helpful and organised a guide for the rainforest almost as soon as we arrived for a great price! He also drove us to the bus station while we were leaving and gave us a lift for dinner which was so lovely! The view was absolutely amazing and was a very relaxing place!

The remote quiet location immersed in nature. The many FireFlys we saw, the walk to the waterfall and swim in the natural pool. The owners passion and knowledge of the environment. A true gift shared so enthusiastically ✨✨✨✨

A real paradise for nature lovers! Amazing location. Fantastic rooms. Karin and her staff are really kind and welcoming. Delicious food!!! The best place we have been in our three weeks travel in Sri Lanka!

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights, wish we could’ve stayed longer! The villa is super peaceful, the hosts are very kind and welcoming, on hand for anything you need and the rooms were lovely and clean. We have been travelling for a while now, and this was the most peaceful, welcomed and at home we felt in a very long time. The bonus was the incredible food. We ate Sri Lankan food for breakfast, lunch and dinner as we wanted to experience it properly with some spice and the chef exceeded expectations. The food was absolutely incredible and possibly the best we’ve had in a very very long time. Everything was fresh, portions were extremely generous and super flavoursome. We recommend the room with a balcony as you can relax there for hours watching the birds pass by and they get pretty close. Very special. Thank you for being such great hosts and making it special for us!

The host are cery nice people. The rainforrest is very fare, 1 hour ride, but it is nice. The bus station is close, 10-15 minutes walk. Brekfast is also very good.I can reccommend.

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.

Staying at Sinharaja Tranquil Homestay was an amazing place for resting, chilling and empowering! 🙏🏾 It has its rustic vibe and naturalistic surrounding i🌿🌴🪵⛰️🪴🏡 in the middle of the jungle, about 15 min from the village. That was adorable to wake up every morning with the birds singing 💔. The house has a huge hall, ideal for practicing yoga and beautiful garden for meditation ✨. The breakfast 🥞 was sweet and tasty. A very calm and comfortable staying close to the nature! Recommend it a lot for the ones who want to reconnect with inner self and feel the power of the jungles! 🤞🏾

Superb service and most beautiful location.and very kinderful service

We were very pleasantly surprised for the price we paid!! Very clean tidy place, very good bed we had amazing sleep, best shower we had so far in all of Sri Lanka, very nice young man helping us with everything you ask for, very good food in big portions!! Nothing bad to say here I would very much recommend. Also because the bungalow is made out of clay, it’s quite cool!

Host family is very friendly, helpfull and always available for us. Our best of four locations so far this tour in Sri Lanka. Highly recommend.
