Loved this hotel & wish we'd had longer than one night! The room was large with doors opening onto a small balcony, and the bathroom was the best we had in all our Sri Lanka travels - clean, modern with a completely separate enclosed shower!! I made use of the yoga room the next morning which, with its large windows, provided some great views. The breakfast was amazing - there were several options and you just placed your order the night before. Town was about a 20min walk away (we cut through Victoria Park) and Lovers Leap Waterfall is also about a 20min tuk-tuk drive away.

Rajith is an amazing host, always happy to share all the helpful informations and easily reachable by phone when you need him. His place is adorable. Him and his family will make you a beautiful breakfast using the food from their garden. it takes ~45min to get to the city by foot or ~10 by tuktuk which will cost you 2$. Nuwara Eliya is probably the most beautiful place in Sri Lanka, so it is really nice to walk and enjoy the landscapes during the daylight. We would come back anytime!

Excellent accommodation with incredibly friendly and genuine owners. Warmly welcomed from start to finish. Spacious and nice rooms, with access to a shared space. No issues with nighttime temperatures, plenty of blankets for those who get cold. They helped arrange a trip to Horton Plains and a visit to a tea plantation. Very interesting information about the area. Dinner at the accommodation is well worth having. Walking distance to the town center or a short tuk-tuk ride. Overall, it doesn't get better than this for a homestay.

Compared to other accomodations in the area this one was rather cheap. The owners were very friendly and helped us organize some trips. The dinner and breakfast was really good! The room was clean and looked nice. It‘s a quiet area and there is a nice view from the terrace. We enjoyed being away from the city - but it‘s only a 20min walk down there.

Romeni was the perfect host during all these days. The place was so good that we decided to stay for another two days! Their food is delicious and maybe the best I ever tasted in Sri Lanka.... honestly. They respect your privacy and st the same time care for your needs. We couldn't ask for more.

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
