Amazingly kind host, lovely room, delicious breakfast and dinner. Went above and beyond to arrange our hike to Adam’s Peak and transport to and from Hatton station.

A wonderful, simple, family-run place with a good breakfast and good tips and discussions with the owners. A suitable starting point for a pilgrimage to Adam' Peak, which is the ultimate highlight.

Lovely heartwarming people who go above and beyond to give you the best experience. In hindsight I really feel like I tipped too little for the amazing care they had for us. We had some delicious meals and we even got dropped off at the start of Adams peak in the middle of the night. Thank you!

Nothing! All great.

Very nice comfortable room and bathroom. The shower had great water pressure and shampoo and conditioner was provided! The staff were very nice and accomodating, the host even gave us a ride to the start of Adam’s Peak early in the morning. Very nice dinner and breakfast. Very nice balcony and view onto the forest / lake opposite.

The hosts were amazing and made life easy. Very cosy terrasse to read enjoying the sun. Take a walk in the afternoon to enjoy the view of the lake and see the temple. Helpful familt to go to Adam s peak which is about 13 min away by car. Good for a one night stay. Waterfalls not so far away by car.

They are very friendly and helpful. They also know the region very well. Actually, the best part is that they provide special service to you. You can come here and make a travel program with Chathu.

Nothing.

We had the best food there during our stay in Sri Lanka. Definitely try the rice and curry, it’s simply outstanding. Also the entire family is super friendly, Chathu‘s father drove us to the start of the Adam‘s Peak Hike in the middle of the night and also to Hatton after the hike because the public busses were to crowded to get in. Also Chathu‘s wife is super friendly and made us feel at home, even after she came back from her work. The terrace is a super place to hang out and to get a little rest just before starting the climb of Adam‘s Peak.

We've had great couple of days in this place The host Chatu was very kind and lively, he offered very fair prices for everything: Laundry, food, warm clothings and a day trip to a waterfall. We fell in love with Ricatan and we even got the chance to meet Chatu's family and have a look at their house and their kitchen.

Anything was perfect

The hotel is clean, nice and great located. There is a nice view when you go out of the room. Chatu, The owner of the place was kind, generous and helpful. Chatu has really good suggestions on where to go and offers really good food in the place.

Only downside was the size of the room, which I think is better if is more spspacious.

The place was wonderful. It was clean and gorgeous. The large balcony with a tremendous view was something we didnt expect at all. The hoster is very friendly and always happy to help. BBathrooms were really luxurious, clean , and with hot water. Bed was comfortable. Meals were tasty too. As final thoughts, the stay was joyful, calm and satisfied. It was very valuable for money (I got two discounts - one for genius , one for mobile device)

There was a small problem with flies.

I was given lovely tea and biscuits on arrival. Chattu was very helpful with my luggage. The location is perfect if you're planning to do Adam's Peak. Dinner was prepared for me on request and it was very tasty and generous. There is a lovely deck that you can relax on that's perfect for warmer weather.

There are no restaurants nearby so you have to eat at the guesthouse. They prepare nice meals though! It's probably not the easiest place to stay if you don't have your own transportation (we had a rental tuktuk).

A nice guesthouse in a beautiful and green environment with a large terrace to relax. We had a comfortable bed, the room was clean and we had a hot water shower (which was nice since it can get cold here at night). They offered us free tea and cookies and prepared a nice dinner for us.

This very clean homestay is located at a beautifull and quit place ( and very near to adams peak). We had a great breakfast ( try the sri lankan one !) and our diners at the homestay were also delicious. The owner does everthing to make the clients feel at home at his homestay ! A thank you to this nice family to let us feel home at vacation!

The owner - young guy Chathu is a fantastic host experienced in tourism industry, its a homestay where the family stays downstairs and we have the top all for us with 3 large rooms attached bath rooms with hot water and an extra-large open balcony area to chill, work, read overlooking the water tank through the pine forest, chatus families coking ability is expectational!!! ask for the traditional srilankan rice breakfast and you wont regret, and they do fantastic BBQs, ask chathu for the sight seeing he will take you or direct you, one of our team members got down with his own medical condition and the family came to rescue and send off the guy and his bicycle safely to colombo, all in all food & location was fantastic, safe and clean place for both local and international travelers
