Really nice guesthouse in Haputale in a quiet location. The host family were lovely and we enjoyed our stay there. Recommended.

Unfortunately WiFi was broken.

A house with plenty of history, an old tea plantation house with the original concreate bath ! They are planning 10 new rooms so it was a building site really.

Somewhat dated but cozy room with a nice bathroom. Unfortunately it was quite foggy, otherwise it must be a great view from the terrace. Small breakfast was included. The host was friendly and helpful without being intrusive. I used my own lock. The city center and train station are a 10-15 minute walk away.

The entrance is on the main road, but the room is in the backyard, so it’s really calm. It was a simple, economy room for a budget price. The dinner and the breakfast was delicious.

Nothing really. We originally thought it was right next to the train station but you can’t walk over the tracks, so it takes about 10-15 minutes to walk around from the train station/there’s lots of Tuktuks.

The guest house is in an old colonial building, once owned by a tea plantation owner and Mohamed’s family have been living there for the past 60 years. Some of the rooms are in an extension to the property and have superb views over the hills and down to the plains, really love to bird watch and see the clouds creeping up the mountain side. The other rooms are more grand and inside the original building. Mohammed and his family are very friendly and welcoming, they helped us organise a Tuktuk to go on a long hike through tea plantations. The walk from st Catherine’s back to Haputale is easy to follow and very beautiful (8 miles). The room was small but had lots of character and had a mosquito net and blankets. We liked it a lot and extended our stay, Haptuale is a wonderful little town.

All is good!

Spacious rooms with hot water shower, amazing view, good location, good value for money. The owner helped me to get a Tuk-Tuk to Horton Plains National Park for a reasonable price. The driver was amazing, a very nice and professional man. The owner also helped me with my next destination and told me which buses I needed to take and where to change buses, super useful information, and made my journey super easy. Thank you!

Good price for a private room with a hot shower and breakfast. Close to the Pekoe trail for those hiking it. Nice view on the garden.

Nothing. All good

Beautiful old colonial building, full of character. Huge room and very clean. Stunning view from the outdoor seating area. Quiet location but only 5 minute walk to the town and bus station. Comfortable bed and pillows. Nice Sri Lankan breakfast. Hot water shower.

The rooms suffer from damp. Some of the beds are more comfortable than others, and the blankets are too heavy.

A simple Sri Lankan breakfast was included in the excellent price. The location is excellent, and off the road so nice and quiet.

The bed in the room where we spent the first night had a depression. We later upgraded our room to another one much more spacious and with comfortable beds.

Great location, in a house built during the mid 19th century with a big terrace overhanging the southern valley. By clear weather, it might be possible to see the sea. The owner Mohamed and his family are very kind people. We really appreciated our time there.

There is not much of a boundary between the privacy that the guest wants and the host's family life.

the view and the kindness of the host

Having read some of the reviews we came with some reservation, but it turned out to be a very nice place to stay. It is a small family run business in an old atmospheric colonial building. Rooms are spacious and clean. It is close to the town, but very quite, with a stunning view. The owner is very diligent.

A bit humidity smell in some rooms which is because of the mountain weather

The staff were very nice and the food was amazing!! Very helpful and they prepared our lunch box.

We hiked from Lipton's Seat downhill. Beautiful hike and stunning views!! We would advice a tuktuk to bring you to Lipton's Seat in stead off organised by the hotel. It works very well, very reliable and the price is much lower.

The family was friendly and helpful. The homemaid diner was super!! Breakfast was good, but basic. The bathroom was clean, but old. The house is an old British colonisers house (which has its charm offcourse) Not a lot of luxury, but the price was very fair. Nice view and nearby the city!

The bed was quite comfy but with a "hole" in the middle, so that with my friend we were always meeting in the middle of the bed.

The guesthouse is very good located. Our host was very helpful and always indicates us the cheapest way to get around. As Backpackers we really appreciate it! We had a really nice view!
