My husband and I stayed here for one night in late December. These "tree houses" rise from the forest floor and into the canopy for excellent views of Sigiriya. Must be able to climb step and narrow stairs to get to the room. It is, to save the least, quite a unique place. This back to nature approach does have... More

This was our first stop in Sri Lanka. We were expecting a lot from this hotel but were a bit disappointed initially. The place is difficult to find, our driver was a bit worried abt wild elephants coming onto the road while we were driving there. Was extremely dissapointed when we got there-The room was very small,we were the only... More

the man who runs the hotel and cooks was lovely and the food was wonderful. menu for dinner and breakfast changed daily with a good variety. couldnt help but feel a little unsafe however as the tree houses look a bit dodgy and were a bit shaky.power went out a few times. we were advised not to walk to far...

Our stay at Thick Forest was awesome. We arrived when it was quite dark out so couldn't see much coming up. We were greeted by the staff who immediately took our bags and headed off into the darkness. We had a lovely treehouse that was quite a way up in the air. It was so lovely! We had a gorgeous... More

We arrived fairly late after a day of climbing Sigiriya, then going to Kaudulla National Park to witness "The Gathering", both spectacular, and must dos when visiting Sri Lanka. We were pretty tried and hungry and our host went to work in the little kitchen cooking up a storm. It was the best authentic meal I had in Sri Lanka... More

Worth the experience for one night. Place is definitely in the jungle, no neighbours next door so you can't walk anywhere and if the security light was turned off at night then the only light source would be from the moon! Stayed in the tree house which had a proper ensuite wetroom bathroom with electric shower. Thankfully there was a... More

We arrived after a long journey from Trincomalee at 6.30pm having been unable to find the hotel for lack of directions. We were taken to a room next to the dining area. It wasn't a tree house but a 1st storey room. It was stuffy and we didn't want to sleep there. Thankfully the staff were exceptionally helpful and told... More

We really loved staying at thick forest. It was a bit like posh camping really with wooden huts suspended high in the trees. It was wonderful t be able to spot our roof tops from the top of sigiriya rock, they really sit alone in the middle of the jungle. We ate here both nights as there is not really... More

We spent two nights here and it was a great base to explore the area (we went to Sigiriya rock, Dambulla caves and on safari at Kaudulla National Park - lots of birdlife and elephants, highly recommended). It's a unique place to stay, remote and really is in the middle of the forest. Lots of wildlife, including some very noisy... More
