One of the best rooms I’ve stayed in in Sri Lanka. The villa interior is modern and beautiful. Exceptionally clean, well equipped room and with great amenities. Tea/coffee, nice toiletries, spotless bathroom, comfortable bed, TV/netflix. The staff were absolutely amazing - I made the booking very last minute and they really took care of me, which is important for a solo female traveller. Very warm welcome. The breakfast was very nice. Yes, the villa might be a few km outside town, but it’s a short tuk tuk ride. Amazing value for money. Highly recommended.

We stayed in a dorm and the rooms were clean and cozy. There was warm water in the shower and good warm blanket. Staff was very lovely and helpful. And the view was GREAT! Tasty breakfast as well. At night it was very quiet. We loved our stay here.

It was super, super clean! Cleanest place I have been so far in Sri Lanka. Also, the host was super nice and very, very helpful. The breakfast was also very tasty, and the host made us many different things. We also liked the part were the host welcomed us with some nice tea and coffee and sat with us to explain to us the "to-do's" of the area.

apartment with absolutely stunning views. The rooms are very large and comfortably. It's can accommodated group of eight people. The hosts, who live downstairs, were incredibly kind and welcoming, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location is at one of the highest points in Sri Lanka, and it's definitely worth the trip for the scenery and peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommended

The owner went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The breakfast was delicious. Thanks to the short cut the location is just a short walk from the city centre. Would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a cheap but great place to stay in Nuwara Eliya.

This was one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Sri Lanka. I received a warm welcome from the staff there. The place is very clean, warm, and relaxing. The food is five-star quality—no joke. It was really delicious and well-presented, thanks to Chef Steve and the hotel manager Malinda for taking care of me during my stay, and thanks to the rest of the team, Srikant and Moghan. Location is good, there is a supermarket near band it's close to Gregory lake. There is hot water for shower.

Very clam and quiet location and an ideal place to relax. Middle of the town has access to anywhere. Staff was exceptionally helpful for elderly ladies who went with us. Very clean rooms, good food and worth for expenditure. Also arranged a barbecue on our request at short notice without any negative attitude. Spent a good & relaxed vacation.
