Endroit très sympa dans la nature, on aurait envie d’y revenir faire une retraite. Nous ne sommes restés qu’une nuit dans une chambre familiale, écologique et confortable. Le rice and curry (végé et bio) cuisiné par notre hôte est le meilleur que nous ayons mangé durant les 3 semaines au Sri Lanka. Merci beaucoup pour ces doux moments !

This place offers a very different, one of a kind experience thats includes a wide variety of various things to do & places to explore. Most of the hotel is built with natural raw materials which gives it a very calm, welcoming vibe & the feeling of a nature retreat. The backyard of the hotel ends with a very famous gem river that is quite beautiful to experience aswell, along with other beautiful places to chill and swim. There is also the option of wildlife safari and camping that can be arranged aswell. Leopard safari also can be organised upon request & many other various fun & rewarding experiences & nature activities.

Eco home is a perfect name for Gem River… it feels like home but we are in the middle of the jungle. The room with the mezzanine is beautiful, the quadruple spacious and well organized. And then there is the vegetarian cuisine of Carla and Muna, the two owners. Very good and never the same… also appreciated by children! Excellent base for the Safari at Yala and to immerse yourself in the mystical atmosphere of the temples of Kataragama. But also simply to relax in the hammocks and a cup of tea. The kindness of the people and the authenticity of the place absolutely make the difference. Recommended!

Beautiful place in the middle of the jungle with a river next to it and hammocks to relax, there is also a common area to have tea. The restaurant offers abundant vegetarian meals in part of the house; very kind and welcoming staff. Fantastic to go to Yala Safari

A real cabinet of curiosities lost in the jungle. Carla has created a unique space for relaxation. She also has a real talent for vegetarian Sri Lankan cuisine. Carla ordered us a 4x4 to go on a safari with a park specialist and her son to translate for us! A great discovery! Thank you for your warm welcome :)

Wonderful 2 nights at Gem River for my family of 4! It’s a peaceful, rustic eco lodge with freshly made organic vegetarian meals. The owner was our full day safari guide where we saw amazing wildlife.

Beautiful Eco lodge in the middle of nature. Our host Muna was amazing! We arrived and he gave us a tour of the facilities all the way to the river that runs nearby. We had a lovely vegetarian meal before going to our rooms as we had a very early start for a safari the next day. The rooms are basic but very comfortable and clean. In the morning before leaving for the safari we were served coffee at 5am! Then we hopped into the jeep and off we went! Our guide was incredible at spotting animals and birds. He was super friendly and patient and the jeep (to my huge surprise) was very comfortable! We were very fortunate to spot 2 leopards within 5 minutes of entering the park. We did a half day safari which was incredible. Then returned to the lodge for a wonderful vegetarian lunch. Absolutely loved it. It was so peaceful and beautiful. A place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

What an absolutely fantastic experience, full of warmth and hospitality. Staff incredibly friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. An authentic gem in the jungle for nature lovers. The food was top-notch, high-quality local ingredients and super delicious. I can't recommend Gem River Edge enough. Thank you do much for everything :)

Gem river is the most beautiful and peaceful place we have in been in Sri Lanka. We felt immediately at home and decided to stop for two nights instead of only one. We spent lovely time with Muna and Kelum during the safari and at the lodge. We enjoyed delicious Ayurvedic recipes with fresh and locally sourced produces. We could borrow the scooter to visit Kataragama and they also drove us to the bus station after our check out. I’d love to go back one day ♥️ Ayubowan Gem River!
