“It was truly fantastic”
We are currently on a tour of Sri Lanka and have stayed in several hotels, but this one was truly top-notch and comes with our highest recommendation. Our hosts were incredibly warm and attentive, always available for us, and gave us an amazing number of tips—they even accompanied us to a viewpoint. There was hot water with good pressure, a fan and mosquito net, and a fabulous breakfast… not a single wish went unfulfilled. We are extremely grateful that we had the chance to stay here.

Nuwan was very helpful to us, he and his family are very nice and lovely. The food was delicious and we could also ways ask for more or any options. We would recommend anyone to stay at the green jungle if you are searching for a very authentic and quiet experience in Sri Lanka.

“Really comfortable and friendly stay”
For a single person it was very generous space and the shower was massive! Beautiful patio aswell to read a book from. Hosts were super friendly, arranged local tuktuk to lions rock on the morning and breakfast was waiting for me when I got back. Also recommended a local temple to visit which was stunning

“Wonderful experience”
The owners are extremely hospitable, always ready to help with everything, told us about places in the area and what to avoid. We were there for two days. The place is very good for sleeping during bagpacking trips. Very warm inside at night but there are two fans. Very clean, no bugs inside. Breakfast good, very punctual. The owners can also prepare lunch or dinner for you which we recommend taking advantage of, as this unique local dish was very tasty. Be ready for visits from peacocks, parrots and squirrels in the morning in the garden! Pure nature in Green Jungle!

Perfect location tucked right into the jungle yet only 10–15 min from Dambulla Caves, Sigiriya and Pidurangala. Peaceful mornings with birdsong, monkeys and minimal road noise. Rooms are huge, spotlessly clean, comfy beds, good Wi-Fi and private balconies overlooking greenery. Easily the most spacious we’ve had in Sri Lanka at this price. The manager Nuwan is outstanding – super honest, polite and genuinely helpful. He picked us up from the city for free, sorted drivers, gave great local tips and sent us off with fresh king coconuts from the garden. Best price-performance ratio of our entire trip; incredible value. If you want authentic nature, space and top-notch hospitality without breaking the bank, book this place. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended.

Can’t recommend enough, you should definitely stay here.

It was a perfect stay for three days :) They organized a taxi from the airport to their beautiful homestay. The location in the green jungle is a great starting point for many attractions in the area. If you want to do tours, hikes, or visit temples, you’ll get help and transportation from the host. You will be served a nice breakfast on your terrace, and dinner is also available if you wish. All in all, it was an easy and pleasant stay.

“Wonderful people, relaxing nature, and a very personal local touch.”
A perfect start to our Sri Lanka trip! We felt so welcome thanks to the incredibly kind and helpful host, Nuwan, and his lovely family. They went above and beyond to support us with everything — from organizing trips to Sigiriya, Minneriya, and Polonnaruwa to showing us hidden local “secret spots” around Dambulla that only a local would know. The room was cozy and clean (note: no A/C), with a private bathroom and a small terrace surrounded by peaceful jungle greenery. Breakfast is served right outside, and optional lunch or dinner is also available – all homemade and delicious. Nuwan was always available with his tuk-tuk, flexible and ready to drive us anywhere we needed. His warm hospitality truly made this a special experience. Very good value for money – simple, but all you need and worth every rupee. If you’re staying in the Dambulla/Sigiriya area, we absolutely recommend this place.

Nuwan gave us a very warm welcome and the room was very clean and spacious. He informed us extensively about the area and activities to do, took us to see a nice sunset and to go birdwatching free of charge. After our stay, he gave us a ride to the bus station and helped us get on the right bus, which was very helpful. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Price value is good for a basic accommodation with mosquito net and fan (but no A/C !!). Nuwan helped with the bus getting to his home and also later to Kandy. He also took us to his favorite sunset spot. One evening we had dinner, Chicken Kottu, made by Nuwan wife which was good and for a good price. If you are looking for a full time support for activities in the area, Nuwan is your man but...
