This guesthouse is a true gem — a peaceful, soul-soothing place nestled among lush tea plantations. The hosts are incredibly warm, kind-hearted, and always ready to help with a smile. You instantly feel at home here. Nights are calm and cool, the air is fresh and pure — perfect for deep, restful sleep. Mornings greet you with a delicious homemade breakfast and the magic of a panoramic mountain view from the spacious terrace. It's a moment to breathe, reflect, and simply enjoy the beauty around you. The rooms are simple, clean, and cozy, with everything you need — including warm blankets for the chilly evenings. The house is tucked away in quiet surroundings, yet still close to the town center and perfect for exploring nearby nature spots. The hosts also offer a welcome tea and helped me with a smooth transfer to the house — a lovely touch that made the arrival even more pleasant. Highly recommended if you're looking for serenity, genuine hospitality, and a deeper connection with the Sri Lankan highlands 🌄

I am thankful to meet Safni and the family with their intelligent and kind approach to me. I like everything: the view, the space, tiny details, breakfast (pancakes and daal are extraordinary! 😇 along with morning tea with fresh herbs 🍃), surrounding area is spectacular. I was guided by Safni with every route and location detailed tips. Always smiling, sincere and helpful. Thank you for having me here 🙏🏻 Keep shining 💚

It’s a very nice guesthouse run by a family. We felt very welcomed by everybody there. They organise pick up from town to their place when you arrive. They explain and offer help with organising trips to local attractions. We also had the chance to rent a scooter for a good price so we had freedom to visit places. When we rest on the terrace, grandma came to offer some tea. It’s was a pleasure to stay there - it’s very authentic 😊

The bathrooms could do with some TLC but considering the price point it was fine.

We were well looked after by Shafny and his family. The view is excellent and lovely place to relax and have breakfast. Breakfast was included and was very nice, omelette, pancakes, fruit and toast. Its a 5 min walk through a cut through to town and we rented a scooter from Shafny that was in excellent condition and great for our trips. The family hospitality is 10/10 and offered advice and what to do in the area. The bed was comfortable.

Maybe a bit more info about how to reach sites nearby would’ve been nice, but not crucial.

It is a simple yet very comfortable accommodation. It is an easy walk away from the railway station and the bus stop. The breakfast is nice, the hosts are very kind. The room and bathroom is clean (only the bathroom would need a bit of renovation). I had warm water and warm blankets for the night. The view supposed to be nice, but it was misty and cloudy mostly when I was there.

The bathroom is clean and totally fine, but could maybe use some renovation:)

Lovely home stay in the sweet town of Haputale. Amazing mountain views from the terrace! The host is super helpful and nice! We got offered tea, papaya juice etc. randomly during the day and the host helped us choose activities around Haputale and recommended good restaurants in town! Breakfast is also included and is super tasty. Bed and blankets were comfortable and there was enough space for our stuff. Would 100% recommend:)!!

The room is simple and a bit small but comfortable. The terrace used for evening meals and breakfast is great with a fantastic view and we could use it also for yoga. The owners are very nice and helpful

The wifi signal doesn't really work in the bedroom, but it works fine on the roof terrace. It would have been good to have more bedsheets.

The host family were very friendly and helpful and made me feel very welcome. They arranged a free tuktuk ride from the train station to the guesthouse. The room was simple but comfortable, and the view from the terrace over the mountains of Haputale is stunning. There's a walk you can do up into the hills close by.

We had a really nice stay at this guesthouse. The owner was absolutely lovely and help us with many things. We had a really good dinner here and also got breakfast bags as we were hiking early in the morning.

The young couple running the business were friendly, helpful and straight forward to deal with. The accommodation served my needs perfectly as a short stag location to do some bird watching in the local primary forest reserves. Easy access to town for food, drink and onward transport.

Nothing

Great view, friendly family, good food in quiet and authentic area of Haputale. They even had a fitness area. Conveniently situated near Lipton's Seat, Eagle Rock. A walk through the Thangamale sanctuary to Idalgashinna station is defi etly worthwhile.

The location of the property is fab. It’s not too far to walk to town and the views are phenomenal. We especially loved meeting the family- Iqbal, Nisha and Shafny. They were all so accommodating and helpful. They are very genuine kind people. The breakfast was lovely and the perfect amount of food for us. The wifi was the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka which was helpful with our children on a day where the weather wasn’t as good. We would recommend to stay here. This guest house is very nice and has lots of really nice people who are great with kids and are really helpful (phoebe age 9)
