Elephant village and this house 🏠 to stay, it was impossible to believe how lucky I was to see and enjoy this 5-star 🤩 location. First of all, the biggest thank-you to Mr.andrew for hospitality and support to show everything around and to show new places. I can not describe how beautiful it was and how much i enjoyed it. It's 10 of 10... The beautiful house, the amazing breakfast with a view with elephant 🐘, the beautiful view from the house to the farm 🚜 of banana and papaya. I highly recommend visiting and coming back again and again!!! 10 of 10 !!! Start your booking and enjoy your stay🥳💯🌿

Very nice host couple. The breakfast was delicious with a wide range of local dishes and a daily changing menu. If we requested, we were served an equally delicious dinner. Spacious room with perfectly functioning equipment. There were even 2 bathrobes in addition to the towels and linen. Quiet location, 2 minutes from the Elephant Orphanage.

Wow, I really recommend this place. The owner was super super helpful and really nice. I never had an experience like this before. It was our first night in Sri Lanka and he helped us with transportation (we came by public bus). He told us where to go etc. The room was really nice. He borrowed us an adapter extra blanket and also a mosquito net. We were with him to elephants, bets and waterfall. All the time he asked us if we needed something. Even after accommodation he told us that he will help us if we need it. We also got pick up from the bus station.

Jungle Village Homestay is amidst thick dense forest and it is apt for people travelling to spend some quality time with nature. The homestay is surrounded by their farm and the owner's mother was very keen on explaining every crop and tree she grows there. I went with my mother and father and they were thrilled to see the enthusiasm of the host and this was our first day stay after we landed in lanka. truly a great way to start our Sri Lankan Trip. Thank you very much Mr. Ravi for a wonderful stay.

Large clean room. Ac, Tv, hot water. Balcony where you could watch the elephants walk by on the way to the river to bathe. That was a great experience to watch the elephants a few feet from the Balcony and also a couple of minutes walk to watch them bathe.

    It’s difficult to find something good, I’ll be honest. The elephants were great to see but this had nothing to do with the property, just the location. A fantastic experience but I’d advise anyone to stay at another hotel. It wasn’t even like this was the cheapest place either.

    How this hotel is so cheap is a mystery. Fantastic location, great staff, lovely welcome. The manager is a lovely guy. Very helpful Shower and bathroom were brilliant, bed very comfortable and the reason they won't check you in before 4pm is because the elephants are walking down to the pool so the people that review complaining this are ridiculous. The hotel cannot stop the elephants can they 🤣🤣!! Really fantastic stay. Brilliant hotel and could definitely charge double the price. DO NOT MISS THIS HOTEL
