Lots of flies inside the house...but we were told its the season...May-June. Bath mats were not v clean. Microwave not working. Other than that all was well. Nothing much to complain about.

Samri Bungalow is very well situated. Less than 1 km from town centre in a very quiet neighborhood. We could walk to town centre in 10 minutes or less. We loved the friendly and courteous service provided by Bandara, the resident manager. We could use the kitchen to make tea and heat up food....Great advantage The fireplace was a definite plus! We had a fire going every night. Thanks to Bandara. We liked the place so much we extended our stay!

The power sockets dint work. Room lighting must be improved. Even to put a mobile charge we had to come to the common area which had a single socket and all the guests couldn't use it at the same time

Beds were comfortable and bathroom were neat and clean. Rooms were spacious with large common areas. This bunglow is a colonial era type bunglow with great spacious rooms and attic. Hot water is available 24 hours with good pressure. Great fire place. Staffs are very polite and helpful

It is a bit out of the city centre, a mere 15-20 min walk. But doable! The shower curtain had some mold and the house itself is cold (be prepared, in Nuwera Eliya it is around 10 degrees). The owners were reachable through phone/whatsapp, but were not around so to say (e.g., we texted the number with the inquiry about early breakfast, and the lovely Sri Lanka man appeared almost instantly (he lives next door).

Since we wanted to leave early, we asked for an early breakfast at 6:30. This was possible! The lovely Sri Lanka man was very helpful, that was great! The stay was lovely.

Property is slightly neglected, but they said that they are going to do some refurbishments once the rains finish.

Situated close to town. Bathrooms are newly refurbished and of high quality. Bandara the watcher was nice to us and attended to all our needs.

We did the laundry, but I don't know if the wash was that much cleaner.

We were lucky, no other customers. So we had the whole house for ourselves. The beds are really nice, the shower was good. And we could do our laundry there.

Nothing.

A very nice and comfortable place, the property and room was well maintained and clean. The living places were also homely. Bandara the host was friendly and maintained the place well. It would be a ideal place for a small group to book the whole place and have a relaxing few days at NE. Well worth the price too. Unfortunately we only spent 1 night would loved to have stayed a few more days!

The accommodation has very good location near the main road and also is nicely accessible by tuk-tuk. 🛺 You can park inside the property. We met the best people (owners and staff) here that made our stay exceptional! Recommended!

It was a little far from the city center.

I liked the fact that the house was well kept by the caretaker and his family and the caretaker was extremely helpful.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here. The owner and caretaker of the house, Mr. Bandara, was exceptionally attentive and always around for helpful tips or if we needed anything. He also helped us organize a tuktuk to visit the tea plantations and Ramboda falls with one of his friends who was extremely accommodating and patient. We opted for the breakfast both mornings and was definitely worth the money and tasted very good! Everything was very clean and the shower had hot water! Only a 15 mins walk to the town centre. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely family home with very welcoming hosts who made us tea and some biscuits on arrival. Was always on hand to help when looking into things to do. Rooms were cosy and comfortable with a nice warm shower. To get to the center was only a 15 minute walk with a path straight there. Would stay again.

The place need to be renovated and clean. When we came they said it wan not possible with breakfast. After we said we leave earlier after one night instead of 2 they arrange it. I don't recommend.

The breakfast was nice. And the owner was friendly.
