    The best place you’ll find for your stay in Sri Lanka – hands down!

    This is definitely a social hostel – within an hour, Thara, Chooty, and Tutu will feel like your best friends. They’re just the kindest, most fun people and truly make the place what it is. The treehouses are magical – tucked into the jungle and if you’re lucky, you might even spot elephants from your balcony. The dorms are comfy and clean enough, with mosquito nets, fans, an epic view and a cute little balcony to chill. There are tons of common areas and always something going on: sunrise hikes to Pidurangala, secret sunset spots, lake swims, safaris… you’ll never be bored. And the team is always around – they truly care about the people staying here, and it shows. The price is kind of ridiculous (in a good way) – it even includes breakfast! Lunch and dinner are cooked and shared together too, if you want and the food is next-level delicious. It’s close to the road so getting around is super easy – tuk tuks from the guys, bikes, scooters or just calling a PickMe. I ended up extending my stay longer than planned and only left because I had a flight but I’ll 100% be back!!

    We had a very good experience at this place! It is located in the jungle and sleeping in a treehouse is really special! You could hear all the wild animals during the night and the rain falling on the roof and the trees surrounding the tree house. The bathroom was very special, since it was located outside the room, shovering in the jungle was a nice experience. The sheets could have been a little bit cleaner, but overall it was very clean. And the absolutely best thing of this hotel is the crazy delicious food! A variety of home cooked dishes let's you find real joy! This is a family business and the people working there are very very friendly and helpful.🥰♥️

    The location was amazing — a true hidden gem, surrounded by trees with a stunning view. The room was clean and luxurious, and we absolutely loved the food. The warm welcome made us feel right at home. Nature, comfort, and peace all in one. Highly recommend!

    There was a full on party atmosphere, with both staff and guests having it large. I didn't mind, but we weren't there to party and sometimes it was a bit frustrating coz everyone was often drunk or hung over.

    Cute and quirky rooms on stilts (stairs not for the faint hearted!) Lots of wildlife (and not only on the outside! We had monkeys, frogs and a million ants in our room at various times. Wild elephants, not in the room but they do come very close to the hostel, so don't wander around at night! (We did, and we got quite a fright!) It's a lovely place to get close to nature. Friendly vibe and lots of activities. Breakfast was included (tea/coffee, omelette, toast and fruit). There were communal dinners (no menu just everyone sitting down to eat what's cooked, vegetarian option) and there were lots of activities you could do. We did an elephant safari organised by the hostel and they showed us where we could go to swim in the nearby lakes, and arranged pickup at 4:30am to climb Pidurangala rock at the crack of dawn.

    Our room wasn't ready when we arrived at 6pm and they had to quickly clean it. We also felt the hosts wanted to be part of the action- which makes this place fun but also means they don't quite hit the mark in terms of hospitality.

    Cool place - the tree house accommodation is beautiful and unique. If you're keen to be independent this place is great, if you're looking to be social this place is great (they cook dinner every night which you can opt into for a fee). We enjoyed meeting people but the organisation of this place was a little poor. Would go back for sure but probably do our own thing and organise things ourselves

    Nothing

    Everything. We stayed in a tree house, an amazing experience living in the trees surrounded by nature. Facilities were amazing our own tree house bathroom with a European toilet & great shower. Staff were very attentive & we could want for nothing. They offer everything you could need which made it very hard to leave. The staff had such a great energy & worked so hard to provide whatever we needed.

    Outside the village, a tukruk can take you there in 10 minutes for 1000-1500 rupees. Surrounded by nature, it's nice for the kind of people it attracts. You can connect with people sitting in hammocks at the end of the day. I participated in several activities for free, like the jungle trek. All with more people from the hostel, nice to meet fellow travellers. Dinner with the other guests, nice. Good atmosphere between people. That made me stay longer than I planned. It's out of Sigiriya surrounded by nature. A good place to rest several days. I would repeat. There's monkeys all around (close the window of the room), sometimes small frogs in the toilet and wild elephants pass by in the evening. You wake up with the sounds of nature around. It's clean, good mosquito nets, good bed, even towels. Good breakfast. The toilet is in the same house in the tree. Excellent value for money.

    We stayed at the hostel for two nights and it was such a cool experience to sleep right in the middle of the jungle! Thara and the owner are super friendly, fun, and absolute Carrom champions (a game of Sri Lanka).😄 Thara took us on a tuk-tuk adventure to see both the sunrise and sunset, trully magical moments. Huge thanks to the whole team for making us feel so welcome. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a wild and authentic stay. Just keep in mind, you’ll be sharing the space with some jungle animals!
