I stayed one night at RC Awkward in Nuwara Eliya. The property was clean, comfortable, and had a hot shower—perfect for the chilly nights. Rajith, the host, was kind, accommodating, and reliable. He offered a car lift to explore the tea plantations and prepared a delicious breakfast.

The house was perfect. Rajith was a delightful anfitrion, always looking up for you good stay. He offered us tours, help with transports and also provides a lot of information about the country. The breakfast was perfect. We’ll recommend it to all of you who want a perfect stay and connect with local culture of Nuwara Eliya. No doubt we’ll come here next time. Thank you for all!

We loved the style of the apartment, It's modern, has character, is well equipped and perfectly clean. The rooms are well sized and there is a comfortable common area. Breakfast was wonderful. The host is indescribably welcoming, helpful, friendly, forthcoming, always there for questions and an amazing musician as well! Thank you for the great time!

The location was very good, near the gregory lake and not too far from the city. Rajit (the host) was amazing and very friendly. Loved the breakfast.

The room was clean and equipped with blankets, which was great because it sometimes got a bit chilly. The breakfasts were very good, and Rajith is a very kind and helpful person – it was a pleasure talking with him. There's a bus stop right next to the property, which makes it easy to get to the city center. I definitely recommend this place!

Feels like a warm hug - the stay is amazing and fun filled as it sounds. The caretaker Rajith is sooo sooo welcoming and friendly. He helped us through the stay , made us feel like home and the breakfast was yummy.

Radjit made us feel very welcome! He was super friendly and he deserves a big 10! The room was nice and cozy with a small shared living room. He is building a nice new bungalow, which is going to be amazing! Definately recommend to stay with Radjit. Real value for money!!

Its a bit further from the center, but there are enough tuktuks that can easily bring you, so for us it was no problem at al! Or the walk alongside the lake to the center is beautiful.

Very good stay! The room was very nice and the bed very comfortable! Rajith is so friendly and helpful. Rajith even drove us to Kampagola for the Pekoe trail! We had delicious breakfast every morning.

The kitchen could be more guest-friendly (there was a bit of chaos)

Very friendly host, gave us lots of valuable tips for our stay and sightseeing. Flat with cute living room, comfortable beds + extra blankets if it was chilly at night (it was :) ).

The accommodation is about 3.5 km from the city. If you're not into adventurous walks, you might need to be driven, but we enjoyed walking there—it was a great experience for us.

The host was incredibly helpful, assisting us with arranging everything we wanted to experience in the area. The room was comfortable, and overall, it was a fantastic stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for excellent service and a memorable experience!

We loved our stay at RC AWKWARD, Rajith and his family were warm and welcoming. We slept really well, it was very homely, good shower, theres games/books in the communal area. It was all clean and well kept. Breakfast was great and our dietary needs for vegan catering were understood. Rajith couldn't do enough to help us, he was kind and honest. If we go back to Nuwara Eliya we will be staying here or in RC Quirky House (I think that's what it's called) which Rajith was nearly finished having built when we stayed. There are stairs upto the rooms so not ideal for those with mobility issues. Thank you Rajith and your family for your kindness and hospitality.

Quieter side of the city but close to the lake. Rajith’s place was welcoming and spotless. Room upstairs with private outside bathroom had all amenities needed for a lovely relaxing stay. Lovely little decorative touches and a beautifully maintained garden. So quiet at night. Breakfast was plentiful and perfect - especially the little banana pancakes. Rajith was a very engaging warm hearted person who is so talented with his music, teaching and quirky homestay building!!. He gave us lots of information on what to do and where to go - walk to Lovers leap waterfall through scenic tea plantations was lovely. Rajith also sorted out a tuk tuk for our morning train to Ella which was very much appreciated. If you come to Nuwara Elia - definitely come and stay at RC Awkward - best value and hospitality by miles.

Loved every minute of it- and that evening ended with a live concert from the super talented host. Went above and beyond. Also breakfast was delicious- banana pancakes eith looots of fresh fruit!

Amazing stay here, everything very clean and the people are amazing! Rajith did everything he could to make it a perfect stay. We heard that a Dutch couple played the Dutch game “Beverbende” with him and he loved it. We gave our Beverbende game to him, he was very happy!

An absolutely delightful stay, our host Rajith and his family went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. His suggestions to places we should check out and trek to were spot on. The breakfast in the morning was excellent and if you're planning on a trek you can request for an early breakfast. We highly recommend this place. We had a large room and the bathroom was outside the room but It was absolutely fine and comfortable. Thanks again Rajith and your family for your hospitality.

Rajith and his Family will do anything to make your stay amazing. It is super clean! If you are dutch: please bring Beverbende it is Rajith’s favorite game!

The bedroom door needs sanding down for a smoother opening. The bathroom was separate to the bedroom, but private and nice with hot water.

The host was very welcoming with good English. Blankets are provided in rooms as it gets very cold at night. Great for a one night stay before heading to Ella. Little kitchen available for guests.

My friend complained about the water pressure but it’s good for me.

The owner is a very nice guy. His English is the best I ever met in local. The room is pretty clean and the breakfast is yummy. Definitely worth

We had an amazing stay at RC Awkward. It is a very cute place with a garden on the front and surrounded by greenery. The room was cozy and equipped with all the amenities. The place also has a small balcony with a small table and chairs with a pleasant view. Rajith is a great guy, a talented musician, he was very accommodating and was very helpful. We had a really good breakfast, prepared by his wife I highly recommend his place.
