Ajith and his wife make you feel at home. The rooms are clean, with hot showers in the bathrooms. We recommend staying longer; we wish we had. Ajith helped us with a tuk-tuk and organized a budget-friendly safari at Yala National Park. Overall, it was an amazing experience for a reasonable price—simply awesome and excellent value.

    Best bed in Sr Lanka. Very quiet and comfortable “location just a few minutes from the city center. Very comfortable warm shower. No mosquito nets but we brought our own and could attach it to the hook that was available. WiFi was not stable the time we were there but the host said that was a temporary glitch. All in all very comfortable.

    This is a cool little clean guest house, it run by a serene host and her mother. The room was clean and stylish with a balcony over looking a quiet part of town. Friendly place but not intrusive. Breakfast was great along with conversation about world politics with the host who spoke good English There was a little kiosk nearby that sold essentials at good price.

    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

    This accommodation is a bit far from the city center so it's not a problem if you like to take a stroll, but it's quite a walk anyway. Other than that, everything was perfect and the view from the corner room was just amazing. Most charming hosts, too.

    It was really a great experience! View on the lake and mountains was simply beautiful. Host was very kind and more than helpful, even prepared a really tasty breakfast at 5AM and organized taxi transport to Horton Plains, really went extra mile! Apartment was very clean and quiet. It's few minutes ride from the city center and on the other hand in very quiet neighborhood which is great. There a lot of tuk tuks around, so don't worry:) 100% recommend

    Gayan is a really great host once he warms up to you. He rent us a scooter and helped organise tuk tuks to get to the train station and also Horton Plains. The breakfast was great. All fresh fruits and vegetables from his own garden. I really enjoyed it. The room was big and the blankets really, really warm and cozy. The shower has hot water and was the best shower we had in all of Sri Lanka. There is a washing machine, so you can do laundry if you want to. We would recommend this place and enjoyed our stay there.

    Great hostel in a nice location. The staff is very friendly and nice. Great hostel vibe and a lovely hangout area in the backyard overlooking the vegetable garden. The location is in a quiet area with nice views of the mountains. It's about a 10-15 walk to the city center.
