Ferienunterkünfte in Bulnewa

This was such an awesome and one-of-a-kind experience! Way beyond a regular stay—you get so many cool and unexpected moments. Like arriving at the treehouse by boat, having dinner with headlamps on, sleeping right in the heart of nature, using a telescope to spot elephants and other animals, and even seeing wild peacocks for the first time. It just feels like you’re completely blending in with nature—so peaceful and magical. Channa was super helpful and worked really hard rowing the boat (the water seemed kinda tricky that day), which we really appreciated. Usha’s cooking was amazing—totally hit the spot! There was a lot of food, but we got to try so many different veggies and flavors that we left totally stuffed and happy. If we could, we’d definitely stay a few more nights here. If you’re into trying new and unique experiences, this spot is 100% for you!

Our stay here was absolutely fantastic. Everything—from the warm welcome by the team, to the delicious food, to the stunning view over the lake—was just perfect. Kumar took excellent care of us, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Great location, as superhost myself I cannot recommend enough. Cheers

Beautiful place with good service. Definitely worth a visit!

The Raintree Retreat is a real gem! The property is huge and therefore each bookable house comes with a lot of privacy. The nature is stunning with fishes, turtles, lizards, monkeys and so many exotic birds to watch (incl. Kingfishers). At nighttime we even saw many fireflies. And to our surprise there are hardly any moskitos thanks to the fishes. Beside this amazing nature-experience our highlight were the hosts and their utmost welcoming and caring manner. Sue and her husband are such lovely people and we enjoyed the time we spend together. Uthpala took us even to a nearby river and we had a dip in the fresh water together. Our kids loved it! On top of all that we were really blown away by the ultra yummy food. Home cooked srilankan dishes in the evening and a great breakfast, always trying to match our kids taste (not spicy and lots of waffles and pancakes ;-) Thanks again for making our holidays sooo great!

Es war wirklich schön bei Banda wohnen zu dürfen! Er ist ein toller Kerl mit dem Herz am rechten Fleck. Immer offen zu helfen, mit guten Ideen und Vorschlägen. Sehr zu empfehlen! Das Haus liegt wunderschön, ein Stück entfernt von der Hauptstraße. Das Bad ist wirklich sehr besonders und man sieht, wie viel Liebe in der Architektur steckt. Sehr gerne wieder! 😊

It's difficult to find words to explain how amazing our experience in Chamila's place was. We haven't been received as guests, we felt more like a part of the family. Chamila is very hospitable, polite and humble and she, together with the whole family, including Snowy and Scooby, made us feel welcomed, we learned a lot about Sri Lanka, we ate amazing food (!) prepared by her mother and Elena even had a chance to try on one of Chamila's beautiful saris. Not to mention that she helped us to arrange all the trips in the area (and there's much to see - Dambulla is exactly in the middle of the "cultural triangle") and that we received parting gifts which will make us remember the visit when we're back home (we would anyway!). I've been staying in hundreds of places over the years and this is definitely on my personal top three list. If you're reading this, stop looking for different accommodation. You've just found what you wanted and you will never forget this place afterwards.

We loved our stay here. We are backpacking around Sri Lanka and wanted to try something different than hostels and this was perfect. Such an experience! Animal sounds to listen to at night. So many beautiful fireflies at night. Hashan was a good host. Good at communicating and helping where help was needed. Thank you for this experience!

We enjoyed our 3 nights stay at Peter’s cabin. It gave us a wilderness feel without really being in the wild. The cabin is in the village very near the tourist town centre. The space is as the photos. The cabin was clean. The bed was comfortable enough for us. It can get warm in the day but the ceiling fan on full blast helps. Lion’s rock can be seen clearly from the cabin. Although Peter was not there, he was a great host who was friendly, responsive and made every effort to ensure we had a nice stay.
