    Unique eco property with stunning views is one our favourite properties we’ve stayed in!

    In Dec 2024, the property didn’t have a liquor license however we were able to buy some in the nearby town.

    Every aspect of this boutique, modern eco lodge was AMAZING! We stayed for a couple of days after Christmas and loved the festive feel, fire pits, and beautiful sunrise and sunsets. The buildings blend in with the landscape and interiors are stunning - recommend staying in Chalet Neru. The food was delicious and higher end and the fruit / veg grown onsite. Our kids loved the farm tour and homemade ice cream and jams. All staff were super friendly, professional and seemed genuinely happy to work there. Kitchen was accommodating with my allergy restrictions. I’d been concerned about insects before we arrived however only spotted a couple of stick insects outdoors during our trip. Everyone in our family wished we could have stayed at the property for at least one more night.

    Nothing really. No complaints at all.

    Beautiful modern boutique hotel, only a small number of rooms on a farm about 25mins outside of Nuwara Eliya. Recently built/renovated. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Stunning rooms and views.

    Some of the parts of the room and lodging were dusty, but not a major issue.

    The stay at the Plains property was a highlight of our trip. The accommodation was good, but the views are what you pay for! Salin the concierge on duty was incredible with his hospitality and made sure that my partner and I had everything we needed!

    alcohol license is still on the way, so the restaurant doesn’t sell booze.

    It’s about 15 minutes by tuk tuk from Ambewela station. gorgeous view from the property. great food at the restaurant too! i went to hike the horton’s plain very early in the morning, the staff prepared sandwiches for me.

    They charged the specified 1/3 of the total 3 days before arrival through a third party - Ramya....". When I received notice from my bank about this transaction, I had to phone Plains Green to verify that it indeed was Plains Green.

    Room was spacious with the view of their farm below and the hilla beyond.

    Nothing - it was perfect

    We stayed in 5 different hotels during our time in Sri Lanka and this was our absolute favourite! We even cancelled plans just to enjoy the property. Incredible views and so quiet, all you hear are birds. Food is good too. It’s in a quiet area off Nuwara Eliya closer to Horton Plains and really made our trip.

    Amazing hospitality. The manager Mr Nayan Wikramasinghe, the caretakers Mr Seelan and Elango, were simply amazing. They took care of all our needs and went over and above to make our stay memorable. The view and the setting amidst nature is simply the best. Additionally since it is outside Nuwara Eliya, it is away from all the hustle and bustle.

    Most of the staff was inexperienced, but few of them were very kind and responsive. There could have been more attention to keep the room fresh and fixing few things which were not working.

    The location is amazing as it is facing the Horton Plains and the view you can enjoy from every angle is just breathtaking. It was nice to be within a farm from which the hotel picks fresh vegetables daily. There are wild animals that you can see during the day. The food was actually very good and always adapted to our needs and the availability of the farm nearby.

    The description indicated that the room is soundproof, but as soon as we went to bed at 11pm the boiler/pressure pumper/generator/whatever it was started making extremely loud noises. We couldn’t reach anyone at reception and these noises continued ALL night every 2 mins. We had to sleep with ear plugs and headphones on. No compensation was suggested by the General Manager. Sad to say but we expected a lot from this hotel and we’re disappointed.

    beautifully designed hotel

    No chairs on our balcony. The bathroom had a little mold...

    The view was amazing! They use vegetables grown on their farm. The room was great. We had our own balcony and a shared living room. The food was exceptional. They took into consideration our dietary restrictions. The staff were very nice and attentive. We didn't want to leave!

    If you were staying for 3 days or more, perhaps a little more variety on the menu would be ideal.

    The location is in a beautiful setting, we loved walking around the farm which is where the kitchen gets all its vegetables from. The whole sustainability ethos was great to see and is evident in every aspect of the property. The staff (Navod and Ilango) were so attentive and made every effort to help us in whatever way they could.

    Given the weather we had it was cold in the room and the hotel had fires but were rarely lit The reviews of this hotel do not do it justice they are invariably glowing but that was not our experience If this is an up market hotel it falls well short For the price it should be much better for £30 we stayed in better than this I do not know how it got such good reviews the staff tried hard especially Seelam and Ilango but reading the reviews we expected much more

    The location was good but it really is in the middle of nowhere down a very bumpy track there is no doubt that the views are spectacular towards Adam’s Peak The staff were very good and helpful but at this price you might expect them to be better trained in what is expected of an up market hotel

    There is no pest control in the room. Full of leeches, other insects. The hotel doesn't have any repellent for leech bites or any other repellent. The room was not clean as a chalet.

    We like the overview of the bungalow. Other than that, it's not value for money. Need pest control n heating system. No proper information is provided.
