    Incredible jungle setting with a cozy fire-lit dinner, mouth-watering Sri Lankan food, and accommodating staff who organized our day trips flawlessly, ensuring we didn't miss a single attraction. Superb!

    Our stay at the forest was absolutely magical. The treehouse accommodation provided a cozy and unique atmosphere surrounded by nature. The location was perfect, situated between two stunning rock formations - Sigiriya and Pidurangula. The hotel even offered bicycles, allowing us to easily explore the nearby Sigiriya city and immerse ourselves in the beautiful natural surroundings. The warm welcome from the host and their helpful tips throughout our stay made us feel right at home.

    Jungle dinner was a thrilling experience, especially when the monkeys stole our food. The view from the rooftop was worth the stay. Free breakfast, but no guarantee that the monkeys won't go after it too.

    The lizards in the room were a lovely touch, but I would have preferred them as pets, not as roommates.

    Me and my friends went to The Thick Forest in Sigiriya and had a blast. The tour desk helped us book some sick activities like cycling and fishing, and let me tell you, it was AWESOME! Getting to explore the area and have some adventure was so cool. Plus, the place is super close to nature, which made it even more epic.

    Okay, the only thing we would've loved is if they had a party zone or a disco or something. You know, like somewhere we could dance and have a wild time.
