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.

Our stay was perfect. The host was super friendly and welcoming. We felt really comfortable. He gave us good advice on what to do in the area and I walked to the Lovers Leap waterfall the next morning (you can reach it quickly from the accommodation). Breakfast was huge and very good. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. Thank you for the nice stay!

Everything from arrival to the departure was nothing but a quality experience! A big thanks going out to Shan who didn’t fail to keep us company and also help us out in all ways by asking what needs to be done in terms of meals and everything else. Breakfast was amazing and delicious and will definitely visit Rustique House again. The place is really ambient and quiet with a nice surrounding and a balcony-view overlooking the Gregory Lake. Also the place is very clean and it almost feels like home. We enjoyed the stay very much. Once again thank you so much, Rustique House❤️

Just stayed at The Ramp in Nuwara Eliya. Really impressed! The owner and staff are super nice and helpful. They helped me with everything I needed, like finding things to do and places to eat. The hotel itself is good too. Clean rooms and comfy beds. Plus, the location is perfect - close to everything in town. Overall, great value for money.

The location is amazing. A little bit away from the city center but easy to walk down and for the way back we always took a TukTuk, which was super easy. The owner and his family were very helpful and on the second day we went on a little tour to viewpoints and a teafarm, after all of it he brought us to the trainstation. The breakfast there is to recommend, very delicious.

This was an amazing property set in a beautiful location. The views from the rooms, dining area and pool room were magnificent and really enhanced the stay. There are only 6 rooms which makes this boutique hotel a wonderfully relaxing place to stay. The infinity pool overlooks the emerald hills and is quietly serene. The staff were all very kind and helpful.
