Reviews of The Nest by Amarasinghe's 2 stars

Lovely view, hosts and location

The bed mattress was simply a piece of foam. I was really disappointed by this becayse all the reviews give a good rating for mattress / comfy beds but not all rooms have the same mattress. Be warned if you want a good sleep. Also no fan.

Great, very quiet location. Fantastic value for money. Newly renovated room with a large, comfy bed. Balcony with a lovely green outlook, in- and outdoor chairs. Very clean, neat linen. There is a shortcut via a set of stairs that leads to the main road above, from where you can join the locals to walk on the rail road tracks into town (15Min walk in total). The top of the stairs is also a great spot to watch the sunset over the valleys. Good free brekkie, served in the common room. A lovely couple runs this 8 room place - thank you for a very relaxing stay

Very good value for money. The host was responsive when we needed it. Nice view. Quiet location. We were able to eat easily in the area.

Everything perfect

Locations

Hot water is not enough host

Location, very authentic, the hosts were very welcoming, great breakfast

Amazing views across the tea country once you arrive to private location up winding drive. Close to town for exploring shops, restaurants and train. Super hostess provided healthy breakfast. Excellent value, balconey seating and spacious room. Fully recommended.

Nothing - more time to stay longer and explore region

For the affordable price the place is very good

Lovely family run guesthouse with spectacular views over Haputale. Fabulous breakfast amazing value for money.

Nothing at all!

Beautiful view from the rooms, flowers in the garden, nice clean room and bathroom. Delicious home cooked dinner and breakfast. Host ( Sam) also helped with sightseeing advice and arranged very reasonably priced tuk tuk to Lipton’s seat

It was a good stay. I had a great experience. Location was good, food was good, overall experience was better than some places.

Some facilities were overused and need a repair.

This was our 5th stay here. Everything was perfect and great value for the price. The previous shower issue has also been fixed. Plus, it has a very beautiful, mind-healing garden. The breakfast is also very good. It's become our default stay in Haputale. And Haputale itself is a nice, small town with cool weather, a calm environment, good food, and beautiful destinations nearby

I had a wonderful 2-night stay at this guest house. Honestly, it was worth much more than the price I paid. The room was clean and comfortable, and the service exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I had an urgent last-minute booking, and the owner went out of their way to arrange a room for me the same day — which I truly appreciated. They also assisted with booking taxis and organizing my travel plans, making everything so much easier. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great value and warm hospitality!

comfortable rooms, wifi, hot shower, owner is very nice, amazing location and view from the balcony room

Well run gueshouse, very kind family. Nice big room to space out and dry things, hot shower, breakfast good. Short distance to town centre. Perfect for Pekoe Trail hikers. We enjoyed our stay here.

Its location close to the end of stage 12 of the Pekoe Trail is an advantage. Add to that a nice room, an accommodating host and a reasonable price and you have a winning formula for discerning hikers.

the location is wonderful with a shortcut to walk into town. it's a lovely wee neighbourhood to explore on foot, very pretty, great views and lots of places for a drink or food up the steps on the road which is a ridge, also with fab views. the guesthouse is very comfortable, lovely garden and more views. we ate there twice and the food is very good. we did 4 trips altogether over the 4 days and loved every one, even with the 5am start on 2 days. the town is quite small so not at all hectic and the location is fabulous. we were told a few times that haputale is better than ella and i would say, now we are in ella, that is correct. the spectacular views and number of amazing trips you can make from haputale makes it an exceptional destination. thank you so much to amarasingh!!

nothing xx

We really enjoyed our stay there. The owner is really helpful and can set you up for touring the surrounding area. It's a little outside of downtown but ask about the shortcut and getting around becomes much easier. A stream flows by the property to send you to sleep and the porch view from the rooms is really something.

Restaurant choice in town is limited.

Beautiful accommodation in the mountains. Definitely most beautiful room we stayed in srilanka. It was very clen. Breakfast was also great.

everything

the mattress

Sam, the host, is helpful, informative and well respected in the area. Rooms are clean, beds comfortable, shower hot and there is a great view from the balcony. Breakfast is excellent and there is a nice area with books to hang out in downstairs. What more do you want?

Maybe a bit far from town - but what are your legs for?
