Positive: Right, take note. This is not a Swiss chalet so remove that thought immediately. This is a place for only those who are, essentially, predisposed to love of being outside, in the wilderness, exploring everything nature has to offer in all its glory, pain and everything in-between. If this sounds like you, read on, if not then I suggest you look for more what some may call 'luxurious' or 'comfortable' surroundings elsewhere and save yourself the trouble of walking into the jungle, attempting to roll suitcases along forest trails and across rivers. However, if this makes you think about dusting off your sleeping bag then you are in the right place. The two who have developed this jungle basecamp - think Dianne Fossey for closest example which springs to mind - are scientists. They study and discover what lives in the jungle wilderness and through their own efforts have made one tree house with flushing toilet and sink, and a surprisingly comfortable bed next to the endless torrent of the waterfall where you can have a shower, naturally if you clamber up towards it, or a bath if you feel more inclined to head downstream. There is another accommodation further up the hill and away from the waterfall which I did not visit. Treks can be organised into the jungle and up through primary and secondary forest, and to some very beautiful and remote vistas where it is clear not many people will visit for touristic purposes, if ever at all. Remember some tight fitting shoes, the jungle is merciless on feet given half the chance. The locals are obviously well weathered for such exertion, so it may not be best to follow their lead in footwear though the choice is, obviously, yours. What greets you after your efforts does feel like time has forgotten it. It is jungle. It is dense. It is Sri Lankan rainforest. Local people don't speak English so expect a guide through the forest, not a guided tour of botany and wildlife.
Negative: My feet.
Summary: Wander in the wilderness for those who search for such adventure.

Positive: Beautiful cottage with a waterfall view in the middle of nature. This place is perfect for nature lovers. Not the ones who need facilities and are scared of leeches or need electricity to always be connected with their devices. Those people should book hotel. This cozy basic cottage is in front of the waterfall, pure jungle and raw nature. Calm and simple. Truly authentic experience. Campfire at night, bath in river and hiking one of most scenic hikes in Sri Lanka. If you truly love to experience nature come here, if you just like the view go to hotel. This is remote and jungle experience not for people who cry when bug bites them.
Summary: Perfect for nature lovers

Positive: The location is out of this world. Truly awesome to be in the forest and close to a beautiful river and waterfall
Negative: The hut we stayed in was not the one in the photographs, but much older and much more simple. It was very very basic - which is fine, but you need to be prepared for it!
Summary: A very simple and basic hut in a glorious location

Positive: "We had an overall fantastic experience at the place, thoroughly enjoying our time surrounded by nature. However, we must admit that we felt a bit nervous in the forest due to the lack of cell phone coverage and power supply, which meant we only had lights available. Additionally, the nights were slightly unsettling because of the strong winds, making it difficult for us to sleep well. Nevertheless, the incredible encounter with nature made it all worthwhile!"
Negative: It would have been preferable to know the final price before embarking on the trip. Initially, we booked the trip for 9000 LKR, but it eventually cost us 16,000 LKR, which left us short on funds for the return journey, especially considering that there were no ATMs nearby. Therefore, it is crucial to be aware of and confirm the total price beforehand to avoid such financial challenges while on the trip.

Positive: Very beautiful location. When the weather is good it's lovely to have a dip in the river/waterfall (aka shower). The hut is larger than we thought, the bathroom with toilet and sink was handy and clean. The hosts arranged a guide to take us for a hike in the forest.
Negative: To get to the hut you need to walk a good 15 minutes in the rainforest from the last point reachable by car/tuktuk. This walk was not easy, it goes over a river, goes up and down and has slippery paths. We were carrying a lot of luggage (since our total trip in Sri Lanka was 2,5 weeks) which made that this was not an enjoyable experience. The hosts didn't really offer to help carry our stuff. The noise of the waterfall is pretty loud in the hut. But when it rains on the metal roof it gets realy loud, we put on some music on our headphones to be able to fall asleep. There were no towels available. The place is very humid which makes it difficult to let your towels and other things get dry. When the rain was pouring we noticed a small leak in the roof above the main bed (with mosquito net) which made us switch beds since rain was dripping on us. They told us they would fix this leak immediately after our stay. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner here since there's no other places to eat closeby, but they really overcharged us for the food. All the food was very spicy, they continued to give us very spicy food (even for breakfast) also after knowing that one of us didn't like the spiciness. The hosts don't speak English at all. One person came to translate and arrange some things, but his English was also not great. The guide we got for our hike in the forest didn't speak any English. He was just there to lead us the way but didn't show us any animals, didn't wait for us as we didn't walk this fast on the slippery steep paths. There were a lot of leeches in the forest. We had already encountered them on other hikes, but the guide didn't really help us to get them off our bodies and clothes. We didn't have the exact amount of money and the guide had no change so we ended up being forced to pay 5000 instead of 2000 rupees. This place is quite expensive considering all of the negative points stated above.
Summary: Nice location, but difficult to reach and expensive.
