Extremely kind and helpful staff. Clean and big separated bungalow for stay. The entire hotel is in the forest. The breakfast was good, but I need to highlight that it was vegetarian. There was a pool in the "garden". Tap water was clean and drinkable (without consequences). It is a really good place for relaxing. I can recommend this hotel.

Only one, but important thing: once the floor becomes wet, it will be extremally slippery in the shower room, because the surface is super smooth. Both of us have slipped and fallen on it. It was serious for me, I am still under therapy at home. It is the best interest of the hotel to handle the slipperiness for avoiding future, possibly more serious incidences.

A beautiful property in the most unique jungle location. Immersed in nature, with incredible sounds of nature all around. A tranquil location to relax, unwind, destress - accompanied by the freshest food, made right there in an open kitchen in front of you. And the town is an easy 10 min tuk tuk away, if you want to sample the hustle and bustle of that.

It's difficult to put anything here. The team were very good to us. Our driver when first arriving had one moment where he wasn't sure where to turn as we went down the lane to Kaju Green - until we noticed the signpost.

My wife and I recently enjoyed a wonderful stay at Kaju Green Eco Lodges, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with genuine warmth, making us feel right at home. Their attentiveness and kindness truly enhanced our experience. One of the highlights was kayaking through the nearby mangroves, surrounded by stunning scenery and the soothing sounds of nature. We also took advantage of the rides offered to Turtle Beach, where we had the incredible opportunity to witness turtles swim right up to us. Seeing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat was an unforgettable experience. We loved the peaceful pool area, where we spent lazy afternoons soaking up the sun and enjoying the serene atmosphere. Additionally, the morning yoga sessions were a wonderful way to start each day, helping us connect with nature and find our inner calm. As a huge fan of meat, I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful and satisfying the plant-based meals were. Each dish was a celebration of local ingredients, bursting with fresh flavors that left me eagerly anticipating each meal. My wife and I enjoyed every bite, and I found myself completely content without my usual meat options. The lodges themselves were beautifully designed, blending comfort with nature. We spent our evenings on the terrace, soaking in the tranquil surroundings and enjoying the peaceful ambiance. Kaju Green Eco Lodges truly represented the serenity of being in a forest . The combination of friendly staff, delicious food, and memorable activities made for a perfect getaway.

Just that there is no AC. otherwise, perfection.

Beautifully immersed in nature, worth noting that the huts are open to the elements. Therefore we encountered few mosquitoes, a small number of weaver ants and two huntsman spiders. Most of which remained outside the hut. The citronella diffusers under the bed clearly do a good job, we also had the mosquito net and repellant provided by the hotel. We believe the huts have also been treated with some level of pest control to really limit the number of insects inside the hut, so you sleep very comfortably at night. To us it was a small price to pay for all the other magnificent wild life we encountered, included but not limited to breakfast with the birds, monkeys and iguana’s, and dinner with fireflies. It rained heavily most nights and we got a very light mist once or twice but it was actually very very refreshing. As we were leaving the property another couple were complaining to the manager about most of the above, stating that they were scared to even sleep as they thought the relatively harmless weaver ants were dangerous fire ants. It’s worth noting that the manager Ruwan was very pleasant in the manner in which he dealt with this complaint. Communication from the manager was very good, he was very visible, introduced himself and ensured our stay was comfortable. Kitchen staff were lovely and the food was fantastic, we had breakfast included and tried the dinner a couple of nights. Yasanka particularly was very hospitable to us. Food was always tasty and fresh however I am glad we didn’t opt for the full boarding experience as there were places in town worth trying. Wijaya beach for example (where the hotels free tuk tuk ride will take you), is an incredible spot for dinner, and sunset.

Location is a little out of the way from anything, good if you simply want to stay put and relax. My recommendation to Kaju would be to explain the hut style in their marketing and/or provide an informative guide on the local animals / insects so guests can feel more reassured during their stay. It would also give guests a more in depth connection/understanding of the nature around them.

Absolutely loved the concept of this hotel. My intention was to get out and about and go kayaking and to the beach but I honestly found the hotel and my room so relaxing and zen that I barely moved from the room! The sounds of nature and the settings, all the greenery, view onto the water and the bamboo type walls all added to the ambience for me. There was a storm one night and as the cabins are open on 2 sides, I was a bit concerned, but not a drop of water got inside. There were squirrels and monkeys climbing on the roof at night (slightly terrifying) but again, all added to the vibe. The manager was amazing, so accommodating and I left a good tip for the kitchen staff as the food was absolutely amazing. I had an issue with the hotel I stayed at prior to this, and the manager at Kaju Green was kind enough to arrange my stay one night early with the absolute minimum of fuss, which was so welcome. Yes, there are bugs but there is a bug net that catches them over the bed for the evenings. Im not a bug person, but to be honest I just got over it and got on with it. It wasnt that bad. And at night you get the beautiful fireflies which are just magical - look out for them! I ate at the hotel every day - anyone who says the food is the same every day doesnt know what seasoning tastes like lol It was mostly veggie (one day there was chicken) and the portions were small (you can ask for more) but very filling & the flavours amazing. I found that the food was mostly different flavours daily, but the same concept daily.

For some reason the electric in my room kept going out. They managed to rectify each time but I think there was some sort of fault. The manager kept me informed, it wasnt their fault & the issue was sorted out. It didnt in any way effect my stay & im only mentioning it because it happened. Still loved the place & would definitely return!

Amazing place in the south of Sri Lanka. The place itself is like a peace of paradise. We stayed for 2 nights and definitely loved it and had an amazing time. Fabulous design, beautiful rooms that bring in the best aspects of the jungle while retaining the amenities of a luxury stay. The staff were super friendly, always available and happy to help. The food was very delicious, freshly cooked and offers locally sourced products. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality stay and a different kind of hotel experience. We truly enjoyed every single second there.

We have been treated amazingly from the moment we've entered the hotel. Received with a drink and smile. Manager was super friendly, inteligent and an interesting person. He upgraded us twice, including the top top lodge, we normally would have to pay 4x the price! All without a fuss. Staff was always there to assist, whenever you need an umbrella or a snack:) Inside the lodges you can feel really connected to the surrounding jungle, as there are no windows. We saw monkeys, turtles, massive lizards, birds, squirells, parrots. This place is ALIVE. All very low key, private, quiet. Food was delicious 😋 Kaju amazing job!

Nothing

Where do I Begin from the serene location nested in a bird sanctuary to the highly attentive and helpful staff to the salt water pool to the divine massage overlooking the lake and the unique rooms, everything about this place is top tier. Special shout out to the manager Ruwan, highly efficient and friendly, he has an innate care for each and every guest and goes above and beyond to make their stay memorable. I will surely come back to the hotel in my future endeavors, as it made my holiday extra special. I would highly recommend it and, in my humble opinion, I would give it 10/10.

Only point worth mentioning is that the huts are not fully closed which at night time does get a bit intimidating.

I chose Kaju Green to spend my birthday trip this year, and I am super glad I did. Ruwan ensured my journey was smooth from start to finish, he is so attentive and communicative. I feel very taken care of. Not just that - they thoughtfully added some extras to make my birthday stay memorable. The lodge we stayed is beautiful - all the rooms are designed to be very aesthetically pleasing, every corner is instragrammable. If you love nature; this lodge is perfect, it is in a bird sanctuary and I saw a lot of beautiful birds and throughly enjoyed their tranquil sounds day and night. Food was amazing, I recommend to try them. Everything is clean and well prepared. All the staffs were smiling and friendly. They also provide free tuk tuk service to nearby beach -which you can swim and see turtles! I was so distracted by the amazing stay that I left my passport when we left. Ruwan did everything he could to send me the passport although we have left quite a far distance from the lodge to our next destination. This shows how genuine as a person he is. If you ever in the area and wanted a very nice, private, memorable stay - I highly recommend this place. Would definitely be returning back.

Kaju Green has to be the most unique 5-star hotel I have stayed at. It is as close to nature as you can get and sits within a bird sanctuary and the jungle. The design of the villas is unique and very stylish, with the walls of the lodges/villas made of thin small bamboo halves so you can be in your room and hear the sounds of the birds and the jungle. There is a huge sense of peace and well-being at this hotel, and the food is all organic. The staff are great, very friendly and helpful. This hotel is close to a turtle beach, which you must go to when you're staying here as the turtles literally come up to you and you can feed them.
