We had a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly kind and helpful. He arranged tuktuks for our longer rides at a good price, which made everything so much easier. We enjoyed breakfast and had also dinner at a very good price. One morning, when we left for a hike very early, he even prepared a breakfast to go, which was such a thoughtful gesture. His whole family is truly lovely and welcoming.

The service is extremely enthusiastic, offering to help with luggage proactively. The homestay owner's child greeted me with a handcrafted Chinese postcard, which was truly unbelievable. The welcome was done with great care and I could feel it. The next morning, I woke up early and the homestay couple also woke up early to prepare a delicious breakfast for me, which moved me deeply. Of course, everything in the room was great, and it was wonderful to enjoy the quietness at night. Located on a hillside, not far from the lake and city center, within walking distance for a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle.Until we meet again.

Due to our tight schedule, we could only book one night, but I wish we could have stayed longer. The place is simply amazing — the hosts are very friendly, helpful, and always available when you need them. The food is perfect, and there’s a nice variety of beverages. The room is clean and tidy, and the view… we just couldn’t get enough of it! It might be a bit far from a big city, but it’s absolutely worth staying here.

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.
