Forest Face Lodge

This was my first accommodation during my 3 weeks trip through Sri Lanka. It's the best place I've been in during this whole trip in terms of design, build quality and service. Danushka is a construction engineer and evidently put a lot of thought in this project. Everything works really well and the interior design is warm and welcoming, yet modern. His wife Malika manages the property, besides being a math and English teacher, and communicating with her is a real pleasure. DO take the cooking class, which is led by her and her mother. They're doing this with a lot of passion, a lot of attention to detail, and the whole presentation is as charming as it is instructive. Well, and the results are delicious! Prices for regular meals are very fair, too. The place is about 3 km out of Kandy, so it's really calm and peaceful, and when I got up around 6 am and sat on the balcony, I could see monkeys parade through the forest. Highly recommended!

Absolut stunning place! We stayed here for 3 nights. Calm and relaxing place, animals and jungle in front of your room. The hosts are super kind and friendly. The house is like a hotel, super clean, beautiful rooms and the service is top. Breakfast sri lankan or english. You can have a few sri lankan options for dinner. It is delicious!! You need a Tuktuk to go to Kandy and back. It is a 10-12 min ride. Very recommended. Would come back!

Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und super ausgestattet mit einem Ventilator und einer Klimaanlage. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig mitten im Dschungel mit einer schönen Aussicht auf einen Fluss. Wir hatten Glück und konnten sogar einige Affen in den Bäumen sehen. Es ist möglich, vor Ort zu frühstücken und zu Abend zu essen für einen sehr guten Preis.

This is one of those places which stands out in many ways. The room is perfect - clean, comfortable and spacious. The balcony overlooks a river and lush trees which attract monkeys and birds....a peaceful and calm environment. The host Malathi, her dad and staff are very friendly and helpful and do their best to make it a comfortable stay. The in house menu though limited is worth trying. Both Uber and PickMe is available for convenient rides and food deliveries. Will definitely come again and recommend it without hesitation.

We had the best stay at FFL. The hosting family is incredibly nice and the rooms are not only very clean but also modern (also for european standards !!). The breakfast (we chose local bf) was really tasty. Also I'd recommend the cooking class. We learnt a lot and had so much fun. The food was absolutely delicious.

The best lodge I've ever been to. Spotless bathrooms and comfortable room made our stay a very pleasant one. The modern setup of the room made us more comfortable . The view from the room is enchanting and the staff was very friendly and supportive. I recommend this place to everyone who is looking for a lodge to stay in Kandy
