"We had a very pleasant stay at Aramya Riverfront Boutique Resort. The rooms are beautiful, spacious and comfortable, and the pool is fantastic. The hotel also has a wonderful setting with great views of the surrounding rainforest. The staff were one of the highlights of our stay. The reception team was incredibly friendly and helpful – when our daughter needed medication, they even arranged it for us free of charge. They also organised a fantastic jungle hike for our family, which we really...

"We really enjoyed our stay at 'Forest Edge Hotel'. The location is charming with nature and beautiful views all around (I think all rooms have access to a balcony). It's far away enough from the main road that you don't hear any traffic. They also have a lovely pool. The staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. At least in the room we stayed, there were only power outlets with circular-shaped pins (something to keep in mind if you're used to using square pin adapters). The WIFI...

"Boulder Garden Hotel is the most beautifull hotel I have ever been to. It is located in the middle of a forest. Except for the rooms, everything is in the outside: the restaurant is located below a huge boulder, the swimming pool is in the middle of rocks. The personel is very friendly and helpfull. The food is very good and relatively cheap (our dinner was 12 USD for two). The hotel is very small: there are only 5 or 6 rooms. So nearly all of it is there for you only. I recomend it very much. "

"A beautiful property nestled in the jungle. The views were amazing and the sounds of the rushing river were super relaxing. The rooms were big and airy. There is no air conditioning but some ceiling fans that do the job perfectly (we were never too hot at night) - the pool with the river view in room 10 was spectacular. We enjoyed the food and the service was really nice and kind. Ashley is a character and brings some personality to the table. It’s very isolated but it’s possible to get a Tuktuk...

"We stayed in the Araliya Suite 24.2-27.2. Which was absolutely spotless and modern. We loved having our own private pool, sauna, and river view, where we even went swimming a few times. The staff was incredibly friendly, especially Indunil. He arranged an adventure for us to the waterfalls, a short jungle hike, and also acted as a guide to a nearby cave. He also guided us to safely swim at the waterfall behind the hotel. And to top it all off, he arranged a candlelight dinner by the river! Five...

The WIFI was a bit iffy at times but that might be a good thing if you want to get away from work-related online stuff! The choices of meals was rather limited but adequate. Would love to come back for a longer stay!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Gileemale?
The best area to stay in Gileemale is generally around the town centre, particularly along the main road that leads towards the entrance of the Sinharaja Forest Reserve.

This area offers the most convenient access to the primary attraction, the Sinharaja Forest Reserve, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Accommodations here are typically located amongst lush greenery, providing a tranquil setting. You'll find a few local eateries and small shops within walking distance, making it easy to sort out essentials.

Couples looking for a peaceful escape will appreciate the secluded nature of the guesthouses and eco-lodges found here. Many offer private balconies or verandas with views of the surrounding rainforest, great for relaxing after a day of exploring. The focus here is on nature and quiet contemplation.

For nature enthusiasts, staying near the Sinharaja Forest Reserve entrance is ideal. It allows for early morning starts for birdwatching and guided treks into the forest, maximising your time among the rich biodiversity.
When is the best time to go to Gileemale?
The best time to visit Gileemale is during the dry season, which runs from December to March and also from June to September.

During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region, such as the numerous waterfalls and tea plantations. The drier conditions also make outdoor activities like hiking and wildlife spotting more enjoyable and accessible.

For those planning to spend time outdoors, particularly hiking in the surrounding hills or visiting nearby national parks, aiming for these dry periods will ensure the most comfortable and rewarding experience.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Gileemale.
How much is the nightly rate at a Gileemale hotel?
Prices for hotels in Gileemale often vary, but you can find a great deal from £12 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
