Deniyaya Guest House

Excellent place to stay. The owner is very friendly guy and he organized the guide to the rainforest for me. The dinner and breakfast were delicious too. Room is clean and there is anything you may need.

The host is amazing!! Gihan did not only organize an individual guided tour reflecting our needs and wishes, he also organised another guide to do one out of two tours with us because he couldn't fully show us everything we liked as we wanted to do some more challenging hikes through the forest. It was an amazing experience. Gihan pointed out so many animals and plants. It was awesome. Thanks a lot! (we did one tour through Kurugala Entrance, and one through Pitadenyia)

The food at the homestay was always sooo much, they even prepared lunch bags. For our taste it was nice.

Concerning the accomodation itself, it was pretty basic. It was enough to get some sleep but it wasn't very cosy, comfortable, quiet or super clean. That's why I give only 3 stars for the room.

PS: Gihan also provides leech Socks and salt, really helpful

Such a beautiful place with a amazingly friendly welcoming family!
We stayed here for three nights and also booked two trips to the rain forest via them. Everything was perfect! Also the food was amongst one of the best we had in Sri Lanka

I have stayed in the Deniyaya Guesthouse for going into the sinharadja forrest. The host of the guesthouse, Gihan, happens to be also an official guide for the forrest and member of ecology preservation. We spent about 7 hours in the forrest while gihan was very patient in spotting birds and animals.
Room was clean and breakfast and dinner were prepared very well.
The next day Gihan drove me to Ella for a reasonable compensation. We had good fun underway. It was a very nice experience.

Wonderful little homestay in a tranquil location. It’s a little outside of town (15 min walk or short tuk tuk right) which makes it a perfectly peaceful setting right by the river on the edge of the jungle. It seems to be the only guesthouse in that area so it’s got a truly local and rural vibe. Falling asleep to the sounds of the forest was amazing. The family running the place is very sweet and helpful - I was served heaps of amazingly delicious local food for breakfast and dinner. They also helped to arrange a fantastic rainforest tour with a very knowledgable guide for a more than fair price. If you want, they will try to team you up with other travellers to bring down the price for everyone (I’ve heard of other hotels charging the same ridiculous amout for every person, regardless of the group size, so this was great!)
Lastly, the rooms are basic but clean and comfortable, equipped with a fan, mosquito net and well-working wifi. I really have nothing bad to say about this place and highly recommend it for a relaxing and authentic stay!

Lovely peaceful place, friendly helpful hosts, good food.
