The price is a bit high compared to other (partly newer) accommodations we had on our trip.

We stayed at Butterfly Mountain for two nights. The hosts were four ladies who were lovely and helpful, and they gave us some great advice. The rooms were pretty basic, but they had everything we needed. The only problems were that they were a bit damp (but that's a general problem due to the climate), and the view of the lake and Adams Peak from the split terrace was amazing. We ate dinner there as well, as there aren't really any other restaurants in the area. The food was delicious and plentiful, but a little more expensive than we were used to in Sri Lanka (but maybe that's the price you pay for the location).

Nothing

What a beautiful little hotel located in such a special place in Sri Lanka.. this hotel is located down a road with the most spectacular outlook to Adams Peak. My friend and I stayed here for 2 nights as halfway stop between Adams peak and Hatton. The manager and beautiful women who run this hotel are just wonderful. The friendliest, down to earth people who made out stay even better. Outstanding hospitality. Helping out with transport, cooking the most amazing breakfast and dinners- eat here if you stay, the food is authentic and mostly from their organic garden. Accommodation is simple and clean- bed and netting, shower/ bathroom. Lovely verandah to sit and chill on. No need for mod cons to distract you. The perfect escape. Recommend here if you are wanting to get off the tourist trail and see something different in Sri Lanka, you won't be disappointed

The location with views over the reservoir is absolutely stunning. The rooms are spacious, clean, simple and comfortable with hot water. The family and staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. The surrounding waterfalls, tea plantations, villages, mountains and of course Adam's Peak, make Maskeliya a perfect place to visit. I loved it here and I'm sure you will too.

The best stay in Maskeliya. If you are visiting Maskeliya don't even think of booking any other property. The rooms have a great lake and Adam's Peak view. You can spend endless time watching the lake. The staff is humble. Food was good and homemade, however price needs adjustment. Ample space for parking.

Great views and comfortable rooms

The tops of the doors is a opening covered by a mesh yo prevent bugs entering however we did get the occasional insects though the main issue is the lack of sound proofing. You can hear everything, so if you are a light sleeper this may be an issue. There were hardly any plug points and the one we did have was half way up the wall and not very secure. We had to ask for a box to put our kettle on so it could rea h the plug. No teas or coffees in the room, though you can request it at a charge.

The staff were lovely and friendly, in particular Mr Jayayantha who went out of his way to make us feel welcomed and at home. The lake view was incredible, the perfect location for a peaceful break with jaw dropping views of the mountains overlooking the lake. On a clear day you can see Adams peak. They also offered fresh seafood caught from the local lake.

The overall experience was fantastic and pretty much everything was in order.

It was a really nice location with a marvelous view.We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic retreat.

There was no AC but that didn't matter for when we were there. The beds are a bit uncomfortable but generally fine. The power kept tripping when all three rooms were using the showers.

A great view that you could look over the lake and see Adam's peak. The food in the restaurant was cheap and tasty with a lot of variety.

The location offered a breathtaking view of the Maussakale reservoir. The staff were extremely helpful. Mr. Jayantha made our stay exceptionally special, making us feel right at home.

Wow, what a perfect stay! The manager was extremely caring and kind. He arranged accommodation for our driver and even provided my mother, who has mobility issues, with a lower room. He provided us with very useful information about the location and the possibilities for trips in the area, which are many. We had problems with leeches in the tea fields and he provided us with bottles of salt water to attract the leeches. The rooms were really clean, no need for air conditioning and the wifi worked well. We welcomed that there is good drinking water here. The view from the terrace is fascinating and very relaxing. The breakfast was excellent and the portions were really big. Dinner also ok. The shrimp provided (pictured) was a highlight. Thank you for everything, Butterfly Mountain Lake Side. We will be happy to recommend you to all our friends.

Absolutely nothing, maybe the fact that we had to leave.

The location is easily accessible from the main road and parking is available. The view is exceptionally beautiful. The family room we booked is spacious, clean and comfortable. We were warmly welcomed and host and the staff were friendly and helpfull and did the maximum to make our stay enjoyable.Surely they know what they are to do. Meals were delicious. The hospitality we received is best. Definitely worth the money spent. Would visit again.
