I loved the place mostly. It was neat and clean. The rooms were spacious enough. Also, the washroom. There was a kitchen space with all the cutlery sets, a fridge, and a hot water kettle. So, anybody can have a dine-in using those things. Also, there is a spacious balcony with a great city view. We enjoyed sitting there. we had free breakfast. And, the humble owner lady provided us with fresh fruits and English breakfast. that we loved most.

We loved our stay at Shevyhaws, and would love to stay there again. Chaminda and his family are wonderful guests, they could not do enough for you. Breakfast was delicious and had everything from fruit, to toast, jams and omlettes to curry and roti and pancakes. Accommodation is a bit away from town about 2.5 km, but that was not a problem as Chaminda gave us rides to and from town at no cost, whenever we texted him. He recommended a delicious vegetarian restaurant. He organised daytrips with his 4x4 Jeep at very good prices including the Horton plains, and some tea plantations and waterfalls. The Lovers leap with it's beautiful surroundings is 15 mins walking distance from Shevyhaws. Shower wàs hot and powerful and bedroom was spotlessly clean and included warm cosy blankets for the colder nights. Would strongly recommend to anyone considering.

My husband and I had a lovely stay at this beautiful place. The owners are incredibly friendly and thoughtful and have done everything they can to make your stay perfect. Everything was perfect: The entire house is 100% spotless, the breakfast is plentiful and good, the shower is hot! We even had our own little sitting area just outside the room (nice to sit there if it is raining). The owner has a tuk tuk and offer rides at very fair rates. It is easy walking distance to Lover’s Leap waterfall and nice walks around the tea estate, otherwise a walk or tuk tuk ride into the center. If I could give this a higher rating I would!

Review for Cabin 7000 Feet, Nuwara Eliya My stay at Cabin 7000 Feet in Nuwara Eliya was truly memorable! Located in Shanthipura, the highest village in Nuwara Eliya, it offers an incredible view of the hills and valleys—a perfect spot to chill and take stunning photos. The rooms were super cozy, making it easy to relax and feel right at home. The washrooms were very clean, and the separate kitchen area was a thoughtful touch, giving us the option to cook if needed. The food was absolutely delicious! We especially loved the beef deviled, grilled chicken fried rice, and the authentic Sri Lankan breakfast. Each meal was prepared with great care and full of flavor. A special shoutout to Mr. Roshan, who was incredibly helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. His hospitality really made the experience feel personal and welcoming. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with amazing views, delicious food, and a cozy atmosphere, I highly recommend Cabin 7000 Feet. It’s a place I’d love to visit again!

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.
