I stayed at Forest Chalet for 1 night in Tissamaharama. The chalet is surrounded by nature, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Two spacious rooms with attached bathrooms. Big beds, sofas, and a bath tub in the bathroom. Hot water available. There is an elderly, friendly caretaker at the hotel It’s better to have his contact number, as there’s no way to communicate with the hotel in the evening or at night otherwise Overall, the chalet is clean, comfortable, and ideal for a short stay. The spacious rooms and natural surroundings make it a pleasant experience, though it’s important to note the limited in-room amenities, communication options, and the rough access road.

“Peaceful, well cared for place.”
The property caretaker provided good care. Meals were great. Although I have English only and Madullah had no English I was provided with all I needed.

Staying here felt like luxury for us, everything seems to be brand new and with a clean and modern furniture. Room was huge, and we didn't expect to have a bath with nice hot water. The place is very peaceful surrounded by the forest, and just 15 minutes from kataragama temple complex, which is a must see during sunset time.. I really would have spent a week just here!

“not satified”
The caretake was rude and he didn't bother to give us options for breakfast. We had to have what he decided. Also he charged LKR 200 for a plain tea ordered after bill finalization by the host.

“Our stay in Forest Chalet has started normally but finished disappointed.”
Big and spacious room with many facilities but air conditioner didn’t work. There is a big funny gecko in the garden don’t be afraid. With all of your problems you’ll get help by house caretaker.
