The best 2 days I spent in srilanka. Lovely location, facing th mountains. You could spend the whole day sitting on the bench and watching the sky and the hills. Rooms are basic, clean and the shower is hot. The family who own and manage this are wonderful. They stay on the premises and are the loveliest people.

The host and her mum were just AMAZING! Taking care of us in every single detail, suggesting activities and making a super great breakfast. We even had dinner at their place and they just cooked super delicious curries. The most amazing thing was that I am vegan and they really pay attention to this at the point that they even cooked a delicious vegan dessert for us (which was already traditionally vegan I guess). But I can tell you that I have been in hotels in Sri Lanka where I got fruits for dessert (effort = 0). Here the effort was 100%! They also where so thoughtful and gave us a warm water bottle to warp up in the colder night in the chalet ☺️🫶🏽 I can only highly recommend them, everything was perfect! Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality Romeny and family!

Super family run Guest House ideally situated. Keeth was a great host, extremely friendly and helpful in every way... we enjoyed our long conversations with him. The bedroom was huge, clean and comfortable. Hot water bottles and extra blankets were provided for cold nights and the Sri Lankan breakfasts delicious. Highly recommended for a stay in Nuwara Eliya
