    Some rooms need a little maintenance (missing towel rack in bathroom, windows that don't fully close)

    Wonderful host and hostess, beautiful view, close to the center of Haputale, good breakfast. Would heartily recommend!

    Value for money and working distance to Haputale town, owner is kind and very helpful. Specially enjoyed the scenic view of the misty hills from the room and balcony and cool climate of Haputale. You can reach many tourist attractions within few minutes from this location.

    A mosquito net would have been great as we had a few in the room overnight.

    Lovely rooms with beautiful views out across the hills. The host was very friendly and helpful. A short walk from the railway station and a good stop if you are walking the Pekoe Trail.

    Very friendly and extraordinarily helpful owner - he knows the region perfectly and gave us a lot of recommendations for trips, transportation and restaurants. The view is amazing, breakfast is also good with lots of fresh fruit. The room was clean, but the whole area is just very misty and moist and you can see and feel that in the room. The windows are not the best so you also hear the street. The train station is very close by. In general I can recommend it, if you want to stay for a few nights. Haputale is a friendly town and great start point to explore the beautiful region, if you look for a less touristy alternative to Ella.

    Breakfast should be vary,all the days we had same breakfast. As I know they can give Vietnamese traditional soup for breakfast. Please pay attention about this matter.

    The view from hotel is excellent ,also walkable distance to train station . If we travelling to Pattipola or Badulla side its easy location. We can travel by train.If we gone there by car it can park in hotel and then we can travel by train also.Haputhale town is very near ,we can buy our needs there.Rcommnded for nature lovers .Thanks for hotel owner and his wife. They are warmly welcoming all their guests .

    Could be a bit cleaner. The marmalade at breakfast is getting past its sell by date. Nothing major just little things.

    Beautiful scenery. Relaxed atmosphere. Comfortable bed. Hot shower. The bread at breakfast was the best and great boiled eggs. Lovely people

    I had the pleasure of staying at The Mist Bungalow in Haputale, and it was a good experience. The bungalow is charming, with breathtaking views of the misty hills that create a serene and tranquil atmosphere. What truly stood out was the hospitality of the owner, who was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout our stay. Their genuine care and willingness to assist made our visit even more enjoyable. Whether it was providing local tips or ensuring we were comfortable, their efforts were much appreciated. The Mist Bungalow is an ideal getaway for anyone looking to relax amidst nature while enjoying warm hospitality.

    However, there were a couple of downsides: the room didn’t have a TV or heater, which would have been nice to have, especially during colder days or for some entertainment.

    I recently stayed at this hotel and had a pleasant experience overall. The location is fantastic—very close to the city center, making it convenient to explore. The view from the property was stunning and added to the charm of my stay. The room was clean and well-maintained, which I appreciated. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the stay even more enjoyable.

    Nice and clean room with exceptional view. The owner is really helpfull, gave us tips on where to eat, how to get to some sights etc. The breakfast was great and we even got complimentary tea upon the arrival. The only downside is that it’s located above a bit frequented street, however you hear it only if sitting on the terrace thus it doesn’t affect your sleep anyhow. 10/10 would recommend.
