    The staff was super friendly and helpful! They took us out every day to see both the tourist highlights and local spots. The vibe in the hostel was also great, we had dinner with everyone at the hostel, which was delicious. In the evenings we played games. Overall a great stay!

    You must stay here during your trip to Sri Lanka. It's the perfect place to rest, to explore, to meet people. The amount of animals you here at night makes you feel in the heat of the jungle! We had an amazing experience here.

    The location of the hotel is good. We were happy with it because of one person, and that was Tutu, who works there. He was very helpful because he knew the beautiful places in Sigiriya and showed us around. He was like family to us. We were very happy in Sigiriya because of Tutu. Thank you so much Tutu.❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

    A bit far from the town center but they will help you get anywhere anytime with their tuktuk. I would suggest changing the locks in the bathroom (hard to open/close) and offering a selection of drinks to buy at the hostel.

    Great place with amazing value for money! The staff is so friendly and helpful, giving recommendations but also arranging everything to get you where you want to go. This place also attracts very friendly solo travellers - it was very easy to meet people, great vibe and family atmosphere.

    I had such a good stay here. You have free breakfast and the hostel is small so you can meet other travelers easier. But the best part is the people who works here. They do their best to make sure that you will have the best stay. They drive you everywhere, anytime and propose activities almost every day. Really chilling vibes. Also when the hostel was full, they gave me a private room for the same price ! Thank you so much again! 100% recommand

    I can’t even put in words how comfortable I felt during my stay in the hostel. Chooti and Diwa are very kind, cool and spontaneous human beings who try to make you feel as welcomed as possible. They also take you on some tours. If you suggests anything, they are always up for an activity. All in all, it’s a great value of money. I highly recommend staying at the jungle host hostel. You will most likely keep on extending.

    Best place in Sri Lanka

    If you're looking for an authentic Sri lankan experience and wanna be treated more as a friend rather than a guest, choose Jungle Host Hostel. Chooti and Diva - the hosts, took good care of me and showed me some secret places around. We had so much fun spotting elephants at night, watching plenty of sunsets and sunrises. I think I also learned a lot about the Sinhala culture cause it was a bit like a Couchsurfing experience. I met some great travellers in the hostel! It was definitely my best stay in Sri Lanka and I'm grateful for that. The rooms are also very nice and clean.

    Best vibes here. Hostel's owner, workers and friends (and little LILY) are just the most amazing and friendly people, they take you to all the best spots on their tuk tuk and have lot of suggestions, the best people to hang out with. It's a simple place, they clean everyday and make you great breakfast. Be careful because it's almost impossible to stay just one night, I had to extend my stay twice. I will miss this place!

    Nothing! They have just opened for a month and still working hard to improve facilities one by one. Sometimes the water stops running, just let them know and they’ll start up the water tank. It’ll be working soon after :)

    This is the best place to chill and slow down:) I stayed here for 2 full weeks because I felt so at home, and became very good friends with Diwa and Chooti who run the place. They are amazing people and very open. They know a lot about the area as well as other regions, if you need any recommendations. They drove us with other guests to many cool places (don’t forget to help cover the Tuktuk gas costs please! They hesitate to ask.) Both of them take good care of all the guests! They keep it very very clean, every day doing a full cleaning routine inside and sweeping outdoors! The breakfast included is nice as well. The location is outside of Sigiriya main center, which is perfect for me! It’s very local and authentic in this area, local food at local prices. It doesn’t have that touristy energy. I loved going for walks around the area, chilling in the hammocks and common area. Surrounded by all the trees. Whether sun or rain, it was amazing. As a solo traveler, I met so many amazing friends here. Very social, the hosts do their best for that. Everyone is chill and open because of the energy of the place. You won’t regret! Definitely come with a chill mind, without rush or much plans. Go day by day :) Ps. You will fall in love with their sweet dog Lili 🩵

    I had an amazing stay here and met some great people! Come here if you like staying in nature, chill yet sociable vibes and you want to recharge for a few days. The place has only been opened for a month so all the facilities are fairly new. Everything was clean and the beds come with mosquito nets which is a huge plus. The guys who run the place are amazing and will help you with anything you need. They even took us on little adventures like searching for elephants at night! Would definitely come stay here again. Thank you Diwa & Chooti and I wish you the best with everything. Hakuna Matata!
