Reviews of Seeming Lodge

Maleesha picked us up at the station, took us to the Bluefield, waited all the time of the tour and brought us back at a very reasonable price. Truly a golden boy, very kind, sunny and helpful. The structure is very clean, well maintained and well maintained.

The only flaw at night is quite cold, but the blankets make up for it

We spent 3 days in Nuwara Erelia. The accommodation was excellent – from the communication before our arrival to the personal support for every question we had. We even managed to book a last-minute tour directly with Chaami. The bathroom felt almost brand new, giving the impression of staying in a 5-star hotel! Thanks again for the wonderful stay.

Just a small tip: not every Tuk-Tuk driver knows the place, so it’s best to use the address or mention the neighboring accommodation.

We stayed here and had a wonderful experience. The room was very comfortable and cozy, perfect to rest after exploring the area. Chaami is not only a welcoming host but also an excellent guide. He gave us a very complete tour, taking us through the tea plantations, beautiful waterfalls, and even letting us taste a delicious avocado juice. Everything was well organized and very enriching. We truly recommend this place for both the quality of the accommodation and the kindness and knowledge of Chaami.

Nothing. Maybe the breakfast, but I had to pay it.

Very Cold. Very Humid (87%). No hot water. Full of mosquitos. Impossible to reach. 30 mins walking from city centre. No card accepted, only cash (not even told before payment).

Beautiful and cozy! The lady that runs it is so lovely and the food was amazing!

Not so much didn’t like, just the road is slightly difficult for a car to come up to but tuktuks go with ease.

Unfortunately we spent just one night there and it was amazing. The room was very comfortable and with amazing view. Also the host was very helpful and he organized a very nice tour for us. Finally breakfast was very good too! Overall, strongly recommended

Lovely accommodation, comfortable beds, and a lovely hot shower. Friendly owners who are willing to help with everything. We arrived at the accommodation with a broken-down tuk-tuk and were helped very well in the morning.

The worst accommodation I've stayed in and the only place in Sri Lanka where I felt scammed. There is no free heating offered despite Nuwareliya being a very cold place (akin to not having air con in Colombo) which left me uncomfortably cold for both nights of my stay. I come from a country that experiences Winter, so believe me when I say Nuwareliya gets COLD. I was offered a portable heater for an additional $2000 rupees a night. But should a guest be paying for a basic amenity like heating? The heater didn't work anyway so I was left with only the hot water to warm myself up. Except there were power cuts for 17+ hours of my stay, meaning I could not access any electricity or hot water for most of my stay. While most accomodation providers in Sri Lanka have back up generators for such circumstances (given power cuts are common in the country), the owners told me they opted not to get one due to costs associated with inflation. Then maybe they shouldn't be charging guests premium prices, or taking in guests at all? If they're that budget conscious? I had to get light from a candle, use a bucket with boiling water to shower and was shivering for most of my stay. I haven't even experienced such a terrible ordeal at a hostel. Despite this, I acknowledged the power cuts were out of the hosts control and offered them a chance to give me a discount as I wanted to be reasonable. The owners repaid me by giving me a measly $4000 rupees off, meaning I still paid AUD $150 for this nightmarish stay. The cherry on top was me being charged for transport from the station to the hotel (which was offered as if free of charge). Such misleading, dodgy and money-hungry hosts. Customer service is about how you treat guests when things go wrong. And from my experience, it is clear these hosts only see their guests as cash cows and have no sense of compassion. Save your money and sanity - avoid booking here.

Although deceiving on arrival from the outside, we were welcomed into the most beautifully modern and cosy stay! Chaami and his staff were so knowledgeable, taking us on a day tour around Nuwara Eliya, driving us the 10 mins into town at night for dinner and cooking us breakfast each morning. Couldn’t recommend this little hideaway more!!

We loved the view, nice balcony, big beds. Breakfast and diner were amazing. The tour by Chaami was so great, he’s the best!

Clean and renovated, very polite staff!

The location, also it was cold with no heating system.

Amazing view, warm hosts. Has all you need

Me and my daughter like everything and we highly recommended to everyone Seeming Lodge. This place has rooms with a wonderful view on tea plantations. Our room was big, very clean and comfortable. We have also tea and coffee place in the room. About breakfast, it was so nicely prepared and decorated, it was delicious. For the end, the owner brother is a guide, but first of all a man with a big heart, who was guiding us and telling us a lot of interesting things about everything. He was helping us with everything, without him our vacation wouldn’t have been so good!

The rooms were very clean and nice. The staffs were exceptional, made our stay really comfortable. Will definitely want to go back 🥰

The room is so comfortable!! The view and the weather was awesome High up on the hill The host were very welcoming Great food..

Nice modern clean room and comfy bedding. No air con, but it was not needed as it is a cooler climate. Chaami is also a lovely guy, super helpful and friendly. He drove and picked us up from down the road as the property wasn’t able to be accessed by our driver. When we went out we walked down to the city and then got a tuk tuk back up without issue.

Nothing

What a lovely place we were situated up in the mountains with beautiful views of Nuwara Eliya , our bedroom was delightful with a lovely bed a shower room. We were welcomed by Chaaminda and his lovely family we enjoyed the delicious Srilankan breakfast everyday and dinner was incredible . We enjoyed a lovely trip with Chaaminda round Nuwara Eliya. Time went so fast we would love to visit again .

Nothing

The hosts were amazing! Gave us a great day to explore Nuwara Eliya, including the waterfalls and the tea plantations - one of the highlights of our holiday! Food was delicious and the bedroom comfortable.

The dining room lacks a bit of privacy due to the open plan kitchen dining area (food is great though!)
