The best guest house I've ever stayed”
Shami is the best guide, tea maker, map drawer and guest house manager. He did everything what we needed. We originally booked a night, but stayed 4 nights there. If we have more time, we will surely stay there longer. Travelers of Nuwara Ellya must stay longer than 3 days. It is a beautiful village with perfect weather.

good budget stay”
The Pigeons Nest is a bit far from bus station, around 15 mins' walk. but the view along the way is beautiful. If taking a tuktuk, it is abt.200 rs one-way. Breakfast at another 4 USD. Staff is very helpful. There is 09.30 train to Ella, but also cargo load and therefore often late.

Gem up the hills.”
The location of this hotel might be up a hill but it's easy to get to and fro. The boys who work there even drew me a map with shortcut routes to take. They were also very friendly and attentive to what you need, especially tea. Tea is free, by the way. My favourite spot is the little hut outside overlooking the village. The owner of the guest house also arranged for me a tuktuk to bring me around. Everyone is really friendly. There's even a fireplace in case it gets cold at night. The room was spacious. Toilet's clean and the common space is pretty cosy. Felt right at home.

Wonderful Location!”
This place has amazing views. Currently they have four rooms, however, they have plans to build more rooms on the roof with glass only panel walls so you can enjoy the spectacular views. I saw the construction site and couldn't believe the views from up there. I will definitely get one of those rooms for my next visit. Staff - one of the best people I have met in Sri Lanka, the owner is a great guy. The best thing about the this place is the staff on duty - Chummy! What a wonderful guy. He is extremely helpful but at the same time understands the value of your privacy. He will give you all the inside information about the town, where to go and what to do. He'll draw you maps if need be. Love this guy! Breakfast - the food was amazing in the morning. He made me eggs and brought so many fruits and other goodies. The experience is like waking up in your house and getting breakfast. This is not a typical hotel stay, more like if you owned your own mountain house in this area. What a luxury.

Amazing guest house overlooking the mountains”
Our favourite guest house in Sri Lanka so far! Very warm welcome, the staff is very friendly. Our bedroom was decent size, with a comfortable bed. The bathroom was amazing, with hot water and strong pressure . Nice common area with a fireplace, where you can chill and chat with other guests. Breakfast was delicious and the service was just great. You can get free tea all the time! They also helped us book a trip to Horton Plains and provided lots of recommendations for local places to eat, etc. We loved our stay there :)

The guest house is a little out of town but this was no problem for us. Easy to get a Turk tuk or bike. Prince was an extremely welcoming host and great to chat to, he even lit us a fire in the evening as it was very cold outside. The room is specious clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend to stay here.

Perfect home stay in Nureliya”
Prince is a very nice host and give us a lot information for tours and getting around. As his own house was still under construction when we arrived we stayed at his cousin's place "Chez Allen" (only a few meters away). The room was very clean and on the first floor so we had a nice view on the town and the hills. Try the curry for dinner, it was one of the best chicken and vegetable curry we had during our tour!

friendly and helpful staff”
Location is abit far to center, walk around 15-20 mins and the water pressure is low, but the Staff and house owner is very friendly and helpful, we cant get the train ticket to Galle is because all the train is full, the house owner and the staff keep helping us to looking other way to go to Galle, end up he ask he brother to fetch us to the bus station at Kaduwela then we only can get the express bus to Galle.

Wonderful place to stay”
One of the best places we stayed in Sri Lanka! Lovely and helpful hosts and staff, we felt welcome and comfortable the minute we arrived there. We appreciated the nice service (TukTuk arrangements, food delivery, bringing us to the laundry service in town, drawing us maps of the town / places to go, and and and....). The rooms look new and are very clean. Very comfortalbe bed. Nice sitting room / common room with a fire place. Breakfast was served outside on the balcony. We would absolutely stay there again!

An overall pleasant stay hosted by courteous and friendly team.”
pros: 1. the deluxe room (more like a Swiss chalet with a grand view of the valley) 2. friendly and courteous team members 3. quiet neighborhood 4. good view of the valley cons: 1. the standard room, a bit compact and may not have the view. ok if you're Solo or on a tight budget. 2. although breakfast is included, it's not made fresh in the kitchen. instead a team member goes out to the local market and gets take away. which means by the time it reaches you, your breakfast is cold. and you can't ask for a second helping. 3. carry your own water. they don't have bottled water or fresh tap water. however, if you ask, you may get some boiled hot water from the tea maker.

Cozy stay & just a short walk from town”
One of my favorite stays in Sri Lanka. Super friendly and helpful owner who pointed out main places to check out and was proactive in asking if I needed a pick up from the train station. Cozy rooms and great breakfast. Though up in the hills, they have a shortcut to town for about a ten minute walk. Would stay here again!

Fantastic hosts!”
The host was full of wonderful tips and information, better advice than found in the Lonely Planet guide book. He made sure that all of our needs were met, such as went out to pick up take away food for us, for no extra charge! The room was lovely and clean, just as the described. Great place to stay.

Good”
The staff is very friendly. Breakfast good and always you can ask for a cup of tea. Room is clean and spacious. The house/room is very cold. We booked for a tour with them, but the person got ill so we can't went with him. They organised the tour with other person. We didn't like it, was very different as we paid.
