    Not so much that I did not like, I just felt the cost of dinner was ever so slightly to high. Bed covering for two could have been bigger.

    The location was amazing. Views from every room in the building and just beautiful from the room balcony.

    Room number 7, the shower door doesn't close well. So water goes everywhere on the floor. The frontdoor doesn't close, unless you lock it. The wifi upstairs is unstable. The balconydoors also have problems

    The staff are super sweet and lovely. They were always helping us out with everything and they were taking care of us like family. The room is spacious, modern and clean with a fan. The kingsize bed is comfortable and the room has a beautifull big balcony with an amazing view. The shower works great. There is fast wifi. They offer room service. The location is amazing and peacefull with a stunning view. Everything was wow! The swimmingpool is beautifull and they have a lovely garden. Thank you for the lovely stay

    The road up there was quite challenging, especially with the Tuk Tuk so it would be to contact the hosts to get the best directions to get up there. It is quite remote so prepare everything you may need in advance. But it's meant like the advice, not a minus of the villa.

    What a place! Once you get up there you'll be rewarded with the most amazing view up in the mountains, fresh air, and a relaxing swim in the pool. It's so calm, that you'll forget about all the bustle that stays behind just a few km away. The best place for both the sunrise and the sunset. And, of course, the room and the villa itself were very comfortable. The hosts were also very welcoming.

    No complaints. They only take cash, so that would be my only thing to note.

    I loved the view and the pool. The service was impeccable with the staff going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We had a welcome drink and when arranging dinner they suggested to have it on our balcony and carried a wooden table up a flight of stairs. We placed our food order with Jehan over whatsapp and anything we needed he responded promptly. Breakfast was amazing. We shared the Sri Lankana and Westerm Breakfast. It was all super tasty and the chicken curry has to be the best we've had in three weeks. Rooms were spacious and clean with a kettle, balcony and a fan and the shower was great. Good pressure and hot water. I highly recommend this place and the staff.

    Nothing short of exceptional! A scenic route to the hotel and a scenic location! Was met by the hotel managers and owner with respect and kindness and can not fault their customer service. The rooms were spacious for 2 people and there were plenty of area to walk around to enjoy the garden, pool, and the view of the mountains. Breakfast was delicious and dinner was sensational from the rooftop balcony. The perfect quiet place to stay if you're travelling to Kandy as the drive from the hotel is under 30 minutes.

    The view is just unbelievable! Rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is also very kind and helpful. I really recommend!

    I recently stayed at this hotel and had a fantastic experience. The accommodation is superb, featuring a stunning pool and incredible views. Despite the ongoing development/construction of the hotel, are the available rooms comfortable with excellent beds. The staff is incredibly friendly, and they go above and beyond to assist you. Rushil, in particular, is attentive to your needs and always willing to help. Overall, I highly recommend it!

    Very friendly and professional manager. The best view in whole Gampola. We got our dinner and breakfast served privately on the terrace with the stunning view, food was delicious. All our requests were managed perfectly, the manager even went for an extra bottle of wine for us. Rooms are clean, bathroom also clean, good shower, which was very important to us. Comfy beds.

    If I would have to come up with an improvement is that the rain from the upper floor falls down on the balcony rail on my level which made some sounds. I fixed it by placing a towel on the rail so the water stopped making sounds. It was a minor issue for me!

    Arrived here for two nights as a solo traveler, the staff member are exceptionally friendly and care a lot about their service and quality of delivery. Both boys are young but very intelligent and highly easy going, had amazing deep conversations with them! They even showed me around the tea factory and offered to join on a hike (free of charge). The room has a great size and everything was brand new as the hotel opened recently. The food was very tasty and highly affordable!

    The road to get there was not so good. And had to go for a long ride to go to a town. Not the hotel's problem though.

    We had more than expected. The pool was amazing. We went in the evening and in the morning too. Rooftop was amazing with a 360 amazing view. Food was superb. Everything was super.

    There is ~4km road to the house that is a bit bumpy, but not too bad.

    Amazing house and rooms! Very calm place far from the streets. The owner is very nice and hepful. He doesn't speak English too much, but we got everything that we needed and he even provided a free laundry service! The breakfast was very generous, he kept bringing different food and it was way too much, so next time we did eat dinner only 🙈

    Scenic mountain retreat with breathtaking views

    Nestled atop a scenic mountain peak, this property offers breathtaking views of the Ambuluwawa temple from a distance. In the morning, the landscape is adorned with a captivating display of clouds and fog, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere. While the access road may pose a challenge, the journey is undoubtedly worth the effort. The rooms are impeccably maintained, providing a comfortable and clean retreat. The panoramic view from the rooms is simply stunning. The owner, a friendly and retired finance professional, adds a personal touch to the hospitality. This property is owned and managed by a warm and welcoming family. Undoubtedly, the highlight is the spectacular view from the rooftop, offering an unparalleled vantage point. Overall, my stay was a delightful experience, characterized by beautiful surroundings, comfortable accommodations, and genuine hospitality.
