    Really lovely place not too far out of town. The blankets were so comfy and cosy and the owner was very friendly - even offered us tea on arrival. There is also a nice common area with a kettle and some nice sofas which is a nice addition.

    You have to drain the shower manually or the bathroom will flood quite quickly but there is a tool to do this and the shower was lovely and warm so was not too bad

    Very clean and modern. Perfect hangout on a rainy day. Access to town is quick via steps and alleyways with stunning views. Would definitely stay again. One of the best properties I've stayed in in Sri Lanka. Host very friendly and helpful. Food provided is delicious.

    The host was very kind, knowledgeable and willing to help with transport. The breakfast was amazing too.

    The location is up a steep hill, so it's quite a workout to get here from the city centre.

    The host was incredibly warm and welcoming. He organized a tour to Hortons Plains for us too. THe room was extremely cozy and warm, which was appreciated in the cold weather. We would definitely come back!

    There's not a ton of food options near by, but if you're okay getting a Tuktuk or walking, this isn't an issue.

    Liked the location as it seemed to be in the centre of Nuwara Eliya without it being too far away from all the other places of interest. Equally you could incorporate the places you want on your drive up there, if you drove. *** Be careful when driving there, google maps will direct you down the steep hill you come to before the BnB, don't go down the steep hill just before, carry on straight and it is on your right. The host shows you a shortcut into town if you are walking, this is the first left you come to after turning right out of the gate, it is on that very steep hill and it is a footpath on your left. You then turn left and then another left and you will be in Town, he recommends a restaurant called Dushans Home Kitchen for dinner, this was fantastic (if you want to drink alcohol, its dry so you can bring your own and he even gives you a glass to have it in). I am not sure if it is regular thing however when we went on our second night (Wednesday) for the second night in a row (it was that good) it wasn't open! :(. I loved the whole setup you have in the BnB, you have a lounge and a dining table in the 'reception' area that you share with another guest if it's full. It has a good selection of books and a kettle. On arrival the host brings you a nice cup of tea (black tea, no milk), with a couple of biscuits which I feel is a nice touch, considering we have not drunk tea properly since leaving our home in September. Haste to say it felt home. Other places we went was Damro Tea plantation, for a cup of tea and some cake (they only charge you for the cake,(450 rupee a piece), you can do the tours which are free with a almost expected tip at the end. Also went to the grand hotel cafe for breakfast (reasonably priced) and of course the post office which is a tourist hotspot.

    The sink when draining leaked a little, so it seemed wet in the bathroom most of the time however this would not be enough to put me off my stay as it felt like I was home for a couple of days which was very much needed on a long travelling trip as even when getting my laundry back from them, it felt like my mum had ironed and laundered them for me, best laundry service in the month we are here so far.

    The room was perfect for this solo traveler. 2 beds, 2 tables, drying rack. Hot water. Community room had dining table chairs, couches, coffee table other chairs, fridge which was awesome. Everything was as pictured on listing. The breakfast was huge and delicious - I asked for 2 pancakes, fruit and coffee. Hosts are very nice and helpful. Quick responses through messaging. After reading other reviews I was scared how cold it would get at night. I bought a jacket in town just in case. Never needed it. I slept in a T-shirt and my personal blanket and was toasty warm. The temperature went down to 14. I never opened the windows during the day and I showered in the morning, instead of at night, so I maybe that helped keep me warm. They did have super thick and comfy blankets on the bed. The place was quiet and such a great deal!

    Beautiful small place with only 2 rooms, that share a nice sitting room with dinner table. Good breakfast, good price, a bit walking to town but setting is very quiet and serene. Friendly people.

    A lovely, very attentive family who were always on hand to help out when required. Lovely clean accommodation, which was based on two separate units and a shared living/dining area with fantastic views of the surrounding area and town below. Weather wasn't great the 1st night we stayed and they arranged for takeaway food to be delivered for us. Nothing not to like and great value for money 👍

    Everything!! It was clean, spacious and the family are very friendly. They can help with getting you to and from places if needed. Breakfast was amazing! Bed was so comfortable and warm. Warm shower. Not a far walk from the town either. Nice hilly Mountain View’s seen from the accommodation Thank you

    Even though there is a ten minute shortcut, you have to climb up and down a lot or stoney steps to get to and from the town

    Amazing host and such a clean beautiful room! Just 2 rooms so you feel very taken care of! The breakfast although an extra charge was so worth it! Very delicious pancakes! The host helped organize a tea tour via tuktuk for a very good price. Such a lovely place! Up on a hill but with a very easy shortcut to the city centre

    One of the nicest homestays we have stayed at. There are two rooms with private bathrooms, and a shared lounge/balcony area, all of which are very clean and comfortable (cleanest place we have stayed!). Nice views over the town. Plenty of warm blankets to keep you warm! The staff are wonderful and the breakfast is plentiful and delicious (best pancakes ever).

    It would have been nice for the shower to have had a bit more pressure/heat, given it’s a colder climate, but it was still doable!
