Great place to use as a base for bird watching and walking, clean and welcoming with an old world feel, almost as if you were at home, pool was clean and inviting and the view from the pool over the valley is truly amazing. Only downside was the food could have been better but it was still fine.

What to say about this lodge!!! Amazing location - one of the best i have ever been - (note that photos underestimate the place)!, amazing people, the manager and the staff are just fantastic, very good rooms, excellent food (among the best we found in 2-weeks in sri lanka), and amazing safaris! if you are interested in birdwatching the area around the lodge can give a full day on itself!!!

This is a real gem close to the Sinharaja Rainforest NP. The property is historic and beautiful. The location and scenery are even better. You can walk down to the river and swim there in pure nature or in the infinity pool of the hotel. Spectacular views, you are in the middle of the rainforest with all the luxury you can think of. Excellent food too. We were sorry to leave.

What a fantastic experience. Beautiful setting, fantastic rooms and tremendous staff. The room was very large with a fabulous bed and bathroom. Lovely news from.the balcony. The pool and surround were calm, clean and dreamy. A fantastic place to relax. We were welcomed by the staff and they were there to help with anything you needed. The restaurant served fresh , tasty meals. A little bit of paradise!!

We spent 3 nights here whilst taking trips into the rainforest. It’s in a magical location, high up on a hill overlooking the rainforest. Whilst we were there, there were spectacular rain storms in the afternoon and early evening, which I absolutely loved watching from the verandah of the property. The property itself was clean and tidy, and our room was simple but perfectly acceptable. The mattress wasn’t particularly good, but it was ok for the time we spent there. Food was pretty good, but given that every meal is taken at the property (there is nothing else around), the menu becomes a bit repetitive after 3 days. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Tuk tuk rides to the forest entrance were provided, and they also organised our transfer to the next destination. I think the options for accommodation close to the rainforest entrance are pretty limited, and I would certainly recommend Jansen’s Bungalow.

Nice location, very quit. Very friendly staff. Rooms are nice, but they could be cleaned better, as well as the main lounge area. There's also a lack of maintenance: lamps are broken along the path to the river, concrete rot in the pool. Internet wasn't very good. Food in general was ok, but avoid the seafood. It was cooked too long and was very tough, not eatable. The Sri Lankan food was good. All in all a nice place for one night.

Went with 5 other friends and this place was amazing. The staff is super helpful and the lunch was absolutely superb. (They served rice with 4 vege dishes and 1 meat dish.) you can take any extra meats as well, and they will prepare that for you. - the food is a real treat so highly recommended to do so! We brought required ingredients (meat, bread, charcoal pack +++) for a BBQ in the night, and the staff did a pretty good job, BBQing and serving whilst we relaxed. The rooms have both AC and a Fan option, and most other guests seemed to be having a great time as well. They have a pool as well, and there is a nearby waterfall with natural pools where you can take dip in. The staff will help to guide you/take you there. An absolute gem, I really will visit again.
