I really enjoyed my stay. The owner and the staff are very nice and helpful. The owner organizes trips to the surrounding sights at fair prices. The food is delicious. There are very good storage and locking options for valuables and backpacks in the room. You can also use the pool from the hotel.

The tree house is very unique and the kids absolutely loved the fact there was an actual tree in the room. Beds are comfy, and we were greeted with the most delicious lime juices by our host which was 100% needed after a long hot bus ride. Dinner was delicious and nothing was too much trouble.

„One more night“ I don't even know what to say. My stay at Jungle Host was indescribable. I felt right at home from minute 1. Chooti, Diwa and Lili are a great team. Together they bring a wonderful vibe to the accommodation, which is still under construction. Sometimes something doesn't work here and there, but they always find a solution to problems quickly. The boys are super welcoming and when the work is done at lunchtime, there are usually suggestions for an excursion in the evening. If you are relaxed, then this place is pure relaxation and deceleration for you. Everything takes time here, but accepting that I was able to get much closer to the culture. I hope that others feel the same way and that two nights and "one more night" quickly turn into two and a half weeks. I will miss you very much.

When I arrived I was welcomed by the family (with 2 kids) with some nice tea. Afterwards the husband propsed to do a free scooter tour and we’ve passed some beautiful sights, including the secret lake where you had a view on both the Pidugala rock and the Lion rock. They also were helpful for tuktuk drives (paid) at any arranged hour. In the room I was the only one so I could choose a bed. The bed was comfortable and had a musquito net. There was also 1 fan in the room and the bathroom was specious en clean. In the morning I also got served some delicous breakfast. Would really recommend this place because of the location, value for money, delicious food and the hospitality of the family.

We stayed here as a group of friends and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The host was incredible – he ordered and organised things for us, gave us loads of tips about the local area, and even went above and beyond when my friend left her bag at a bus stop. He actually tracked it down and drove it back to us! His whole family were so kind and welcoming, which made us feel completely at home. Breakfast was amazing every morning, and the beds were huge double bunks, super comfy after a long day exploring. Honestly, the host and his family made the trip for us – such a special place to stay

The hosts and their project :-) The location, both in the middle of the jungle and at walking distance from the Lion’s rock. The hostel “front yard” is fantastic! The place is simple, with a good bed (with mosquitoes net) and the room has a fan with a remote control. Breakfast was super!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
