Couldn’t have a hot shower which when you are paying +$500 USD per night shouldn’t happen - it was either burning hot temporarily then cold or just cold, throughout our stay. We also thought we were booking a 3br place but it’s actually 3 separate units which you access each by going outside which for us meant we only used 1 br because we had young kids and had to have them sleeping on makeshift beds in with us. Still some finishing work to be done post renovations - mostly outside - landscaping etc.

Staff were incredible! Warm, kind and eager to please. They really made us feel welcome! Food was delicious and fairly priced for what they serve. Loved the guided walk around the property.

Nothing we didn't like really - a few small things (that didn't affect our stay) -Bring an eye mask as the beautiful floor to ceiling windows means it is very bright from very early in the morning. There was a bit of construction noise from very early too but wasn't too intrusive. Would be good to put some fly screens on the windows that open as would be lovely to be able to leave the windows open overnight to get some breeze through therefore placing less pressure on the AC, there were too many mosquitos around for us to do this. Would be nice to have some Sri Lankan art in the room to give it a more local feel rather than the generic Ikea prints of other cities. The only other thing I can think of would be to use reusable metal straws for drinks rather than plastic (lots of places we went in Sri Lanka are doing this now which was great to see) but overall the property is good at avoiding plastic waste - refillable filtered water jug, refillable shampoo/shower gel in bathroom. Also would have been great to have a little table and chairs outside right next to the pool as is so lovely sitting by the pool having a drink.

We had a beautiful stay - feels like a luxury resort but much more personal. The property is beautiful and the pool is perfect - it's pretty rare to have such a big private pool. You have the whole place to yourselves, rooms are huge and light and airy with stunning views over the tea plants and the valley. We spent a whole day just lounging around enjoying the pool and the views couldn't bring ourselves to leave as it was so relaxing. The botanical gardens are nearby and are worth a visit. Sanjaya and the staff are so helpful and thoughtful and went out of their way to make us comfortable including arranging transportation for us when we had to get back to Colombo. Wonderful ambassadors for their establishment and their country. Showed us all the interesting plants and spices on the property and surrounds. Meals are served on a little deck and were some of the best food we ate in Sri Lanka and plenty of it - would definitely recommend booking all meals also (we hadn't in advance other than the included breakfast but they kindly accommodated us anyway).

Nothing, it was all completely amazing!

We absolutely loved tea heights, the suit was stunning, so spacious, peaceful and full of beautiful views from the floor to ceiling windows throughout, stunning! The food was also exceptionally delicious, loved the transitional breakfasts and fresh fruits. Sanjaya and his team were so warm and welcoming couldn’t have done any more more to make us feel at home in this 5 star luxury stay! We will definitely be returning!

The air conditioner couldn't handle the strength of the midday sun. But that's the inevitable price to pay for fully glazed walls, I guess.

Magnificent panoramic view of the mountains around. A wonderful team that cares about nature and farm garden. And of course taking care of the guests.

Amazing property set amongst the jungle with the absolute best view. The staff is very kind and warm, and not to mention the pool - wow! The tea trail tour was another delightful bonus, finished off with a magnificent trip to sunset point. An excellent stay with lots of happy surprises

The last bit of the road to the villa is quite rocky. But in the evening we saw fireflies there, so we can't complain. Also staff offered to meet us in case our driver decides not to go further

We had an exceptionally relaxing, memorable and fascinating experience. Having a magnificent view of the entire surrounding area both right from the bed through the glass walls and also from the pool is incredible. Architecture of the building is exceptional. Even on a very sunny day there is some shade to hide in the pool, also there is a great small lawn area near the pool for your feet to relax. We had both breakfasts and dinners and they were all delicious, we tried some traditional Sri Lanka dishes. We also had an awesome tour around the plantation which had not only tea but also a lot of spices and exotic fruit, some of which we have never seen before. The owner Tilin showed us around, explained everything (we had lots of questions), picked some samples for us to sniff or chew to guess what it was. Staff was very attentive to all our needs, Sanjay and Palina both very helpful, can guide you into Lanka culture. We saw monkeys and a serpent eagle during our breakfasts. Wifi was fine, no power cuts during our stay either. Made a lot of pics for our friends to envy :)

The fact that we only booked 1 night. I wish I had had the chance to talk more with the owner and his niece and tour his beautiful tea plantation.

We loved absolutely everything about this place! I really recommend it 100%! We were greated by the owner himself and his niece and they were so lovely. We felt at home right away. They invited us to eat with them, even though we arrived quite late. The meal was divine and prepare with a lot of love (many kinds of curries and rice). Breakfast was succulent as well! The villa is absolutely incredible (and huuuge) and is located high in the mountains and in the owner’s tea plantation (it does take a bit of time to get there from Kandy but it’s SO worth it!). The amazing pool is the biggest in Kandy (!!). Everything was top quality in the room/bathroom/salon and super clean. We will definitely be returning here when we go back to Kandy.

The shower pressure was super low so that it was hard to even wash the hair. The A/C wasn’t working properly and had to be turned on using a generator. For that, we always had to ask the host to turn it on. For the price we payed, this should’ve been easier! A/C and showers worked perfectly fine in hotels where we payed a 10th of the price. Apart from these small things it was an amazing stay!

The Staff was absolutely amazing! the place was really nice and the views out of the house amazing. The host offered us a really amazing tour around his properties and the neighbouring farm where we learned a lot about Sri Lankan fruits and spices. Dinner and breakfast were also amazing. We really enjoyed our time at tea heights!

We were looking for an “instagram compatible” stay. This was great but only a 9/10, definitely worth the price though. It was also quite far away from a bigger city and wifi was down due to power shortages (completely outside of their control though)

+ Brilliant hosts, went above and beyond + Best food we had during our trip + They even called around in the village and found a scooter we could rent! Truly exceptional service

The view and the experience is unavailable, if you would like to experience the real Sri Lanka this is the place were you should stay. You will have an entire villa for you with a private swimming pool, with a view you can only dream of. The food they provide its typical of the country, very delicious and so generous every time. But the most important part of this trip was the staff, such beautiful people, always very kind and polite. Hope we can come back very soon.
