We stayed at Nilowin Guesthouse for 2 nights in August 2025 and were so impressed. The room was clean and comfortable and had a balcony with a terrific view over the valley. We ate our breakfasts and dinners at the Guesthouse and the food was excellent. We especially enjoyed doing the Sri Lankan cooking class on our first night — it was so good to learn more about Sri Lanka’s culinary traditions and to share a meal with our hosts. Most importantly, our hosts were full of useful information about how to spend our time in Haputale and the Southern Highlands and helped us arrange everything we needed (station pickups and drop offs, onward transport connections, a dawn trip to Horton Plains National Park, etc). Highly recommended.

Great hotel, with the most stunning view, what a beautiful landscape to wake up with! The rooms are basic, but very spacious and with a nice balcony to see the mountains! The staff is super friendly, and helped us a lot with good tips of things to do in the area. Breakfast was great, aswel as the dinner they seeved! Definatly recommend this place as a gateway to Hill Country!

May be a little more value for the money if the breakfast also included within the same charge

Very nice view from balcony, spacious room and bathroom, arranged dinner on request

We were looking for a peaceful break from the hustle and bustle of life in Colombo, and Nilowin, Haputale gave us just that. The location was fantastic, and the view from our room was truly spectacular — especially during sunrise and sunset. The room was spacious and clean. We had breakfast at Nilowin throughout our stay, and it was excellent every single day. One morning, we were treated to hoppers with fresh fruit, etc, which was delicious. The perfect way to start each day! Their food was always tasty and thoughtfully prepared. A heartfelt thank you to Saman and the team for making our time in Haputale so special. We enjoyed every minute of it.

It was a hard way to Haputale in the car and during the night, but it worths.

Host is a great man! He is very friendly and super chef! View is hilarious also. Local people are nice.

Beds were a little firm for my liking but my wife didn’t think so so maybe just me.

Lovely family run hotel managed by two brothers who are very friendly and helpful. Beautiful location with tea plantation on one side and amazing views on the other. It’s probably 7 or 8 minutes out of town by tuk tuk, but the staff arranged all the tuks for us at reasonable prices so getting around was easy.

Stayed in April 2025

Staff were genuinely extremely friendly and helpful, went the extra mile to assist with some personal requests. Nice quiet location, however town is a little further away requiring a longer walk or tuk tuk. Had some great sunset views from the balcony and also from a walk being the hotel through the tea plantation. Monastery very close by to visit. Cooking course was well worth the money,  great guidance from the brothers and delicious food.

We were without a car one day, which made us feel a little isolated, although I believe there is a good bus service passing the village.

We liked everything from the start, the welcoming drink, the clean room with kettle, and the amazing view from the balcony across the valley. The friendly and helpful staff, our host Saman, and Shan, always smiling. The guest house is situated in a small village, surrounded by tea plantation. We got to see the normal comings and goings of a Sri Lankan neighbourhood. Delicious and varied menu, I recommend the traditional curd and fruit for breakfast, very refreshing. For dinner the homemade Sri Lankan chicken curry comes with several tasty little side dishes. Saman also runs cooking classes in a purpose built kitchen, complete with wood stove and everything needed to make a Sri Lankan meal from scratch. We made the best curry , using ingredients such as coconut cream we made ourselves, and banana flowers. Thanks to our teacher Kumudu, and her husband Tharidu, for patiently taking us through each step. Afterwards we all sat down to eat together. A lovely, one of a kind experience. Highly recommend.

We highly recommend Nilowin Glenanore Guesthouse!!! We had such a lovely stay there! It was recommended from a friend and it surely didn’t disappoint! The family that runs it are super nice and helpful. Breakfast was amazing - the yummiest egg hopers we’ve had in Srilanka. The room was lovely with a great view. And what we enjoyed most - was their cooking class!! They’ve created a lovely, homely kitchen where the cooking class happens. Very informative and fun cooking class. We truly enjoyed it. Our three daughters got involved in everything we were preparing and everything was delicious!!! Thank you so much! Id be happy to come back tomorrow :)

A really nice little hotel close to Haputale town surrounded by tea plantations. The host and all employees are super friendly and try to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Communication was very easy and we received some really nice Tipps for activities in the area. The room was clean and comfortable with a kettle and hot water shower. The views were really nice from the room’s balcony overlooking the whole valley. The restaurant on the ground floor offers delicious food - we had a really good chicken Kotthu and Rice & curry there. Also the breakfast was tasty - especially the avocado egg sandwich! We were a bit unlucky with the weather during our stay and still had a great time due to the hospitality of our hosts! Highly recommend to stay here when you visit Haputale 😊

Large rooms with beautiful views and staff who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Excellent home cooked food and remarkable value for money. We had a wonderful afternoon learning to cook a full Sri Lankan meal in their purpose built cooking school - an unforgettable highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka!
