The host was very nice and welcoming. The place is extremely clean, we really appreciate that. Our room was big with everything needed. We had an excellent dinner cooked by his wife at a very affordable price.

I had an amazing stay here and truly felt like part of the family. The hosts were incredibly warm, caring and always made sure I was comfortable during my stay. Their hospitality was exceptional and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The family is very kind and genuine — the son took us on a beautiful hike and guided us through the nature trails, sharing interesting stories and local knowledge. It was one of the highlights of our trip. The father also offers city tours, and he made sure we got to see the best places while learning the history and culture of the area. They really go out of their way to help their guests enjoy the stay to the fullest. The home was clean, comfortable and peaceful. You can feel the love and effort they put into maintaining their place and treating guests like close friends. This is not just accommodation, it is a warm local experience that you won’t find everywhere. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a relaxing, friendly and memorable stay. I will definitely come back again!

We had one of the best stays here in Sri Lanka so far! Our host Shan and his mum were super welcoming, kind and hospitable. They always made sure that we felt comfortable and at home. We got a free upgrade to their two-level room, which had the most amazing view over Gregory lake. There was hot water, thick bed sheets and the home made breakfast by his mum was sooo delicious!! My partner got a little bit sick, so they made us warm tea and some fried noodles for dinner. We felt very grateful for their kindness and can 100% recommend this place!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this guest house in Nuwara Eliya! Everything was perfect: the place was spotlessly clean, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and it truly felt like home. The breakfast was delicious and hearty, the ideal start to the day. What made our stay even more memorable was Rajith, the wonderful owner. He went above and beyond to take care of us, ensuring we had everything we needed — from providing water and laundry service to recommending great restaurants and organizing our tea trail excursion. He even helped with transport to the town center and arranged last-minute emergency rides, including a 5 AM trip to the train station! Thank you, Rajith, for making our time in Nuwara Eliya so special!

Charming house in English style! Nice, clean and comfortable room. Breakfast was a real feast and you have to take your time to enjoy it. The host made the best avocado smoothie I have ever had. He is very attentive and pleasant to talk to. We would definitely come back if we ever return to Sri Lanka

Everything! The room was nice, clean and spacious with internet working very well. Araa and his mother are two amazing people. Her breakfast and dinner was abundant and tasted so good. She wanted to keep feeding me as if I was part of her family ! She is also a great seamstress. I could see she had a variety of beautiful bags on display which at no time she told me that they are on sale. So I did ask and she told me that it was her work. I bought 4 and she gave me a decent price too! Her work is dainty and bags finished perfectly. Thank you so much for a lovely stay! ❤️

There is only one room, and it's part of the owners' house. Still, there's total privacy! It just makes you feel like home. We had an amazing experience here, the hosts were so kind and sweet, took care of us like parents, and the breakfast was so yummy! The room is clean too, and the balcony is huge. Unique and intimate experience, highly recommended.
