We stayed 5 nights at Cecilia Cottage and did not want to leave once our time was up. A beautiful and peaceful apartment that felt homely right away. The host sharmini went above for all our requests and made our stay very special. I can’t wait to visit again. Thank you very much for everything!

We loved staying so close to nature! We spend almost two weeks here. It’s situated right on the edge of the Udawatta sanctuary, so monkeys visited us quite a few times which was nice to see! It’s not far from the city but when we went food shopping we took the tuktuk back and it cost us around 200 LKR. So if you want something private, calm but also walkable to the centre, this is it. Just mind that it’s close to the forrest and not much light goes in through the trees. But on the other hand the temperature in the apartment was nice due to the location. There’s no need for AC but there’s a fan if you need it. The kitchen has some amenities like rice cooker and smoothie maker. But it could maybe use a bit more cutlery like a new wooden spoon, but things like pan and pots were really good. The WiFi was perfect, no problem with that.

The property was absolutely worth the price—clean, spacious, and well-equipped with all amenities. Amal (if I’ve spelled it right) assisted us really well throughout our stay. Just two small suggestions: the door in the bedroom behind the TV needs a bit of repair, and it would be great to add a sunlight-blocking curtain for that room’s balcony, as the morning sun was quite strong. Other than that, everything was excellent. Thanks for a great stay!

Surangi's place is a wonderful spacious independent accomodation which is easy to find. It is on the first floor with personal entrance. there is a great deal of privacy, coziness and comfort. it is a remarkable place if you are travelling with your family. comes with all necessary amenities. Surangi is an excellent host. always cooperative and took great care during the stay. go for it.

Bernard was very nice and helpful and the place was nice

We rented this place for 2 weeks and it was amazing. Hosts were really helpful and friendly. Place is very clean and all interior and furnitures were very comfortable. Situated in a very clam place perfect for long holiday with family

Our host couple Indira and Lakshman are very attentive and helpful people whose hospitality comes from the heart. We stayed for six weeks in their beautiful house, which is situated in a lovely garden on a hill in Sirimalwatta. Our flat with kitchen and two bedrooms also has a terrace where we always had our meals as a family of four. We liked it so much that we will be staying here again temporarily on our next visit to Sri Lanka in the autumn. Lakshman also helped my husband a lot with one of his local projects and arranged an appointment for him with the local governor.

As a traveler and who love mountains, i never stayed before like this, The View and the rooms 😭❤️ . Only thing is there are two are three big steep roads to reach the property, But guys it worth it. Thank you chanaka for the beautiful home.

This is a nice property in a great location. The house is a traditional one with thick walls and tiled roof. Lovely view from the garden! The hosts were friendly, helpful and responsive. They even kindly allowed us to checkin early. My wife and I spent couple of nights here with our two dogs. We had a lovely time enjoying the golden and blue hours from the garden. The two waterfalls which are just a few minutes drive from the property are wonderful and well worth the visit.

Our stay at Vivian's was great. The property is actually much more beautiful in person than in the photos. Very cosy and clean house, well decorated. Suri the caretaker was excellent and very responsive and friendly. Highly recommend Vivien's retreat!

My stay was absolutely fantastic! The property is nestled in a beautiful hill station, surrounded by stunning views that made my trip unforgettable. The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing excellent local tips that made exploring the area even more enjoyable. Waking up to the serene landscape each morning was a highlight of my trip. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in nature. Can’t wait to come again.

A feel of comfortably lived-in, authentic Sri-Lankan home - Felt like it used to feel when staying with family, years ago. Bed rooms were comfortable and linen was clean. We had plenty of space in the dinning, kitchen and living areas for our small group. A cool breeze blows into the house in the afternoon and early evening. The golden light of the setting sun filters through the front windows. Just sitting on a chair on the porch is tranquil. By far the best part, was the wonderfully warm and welcoming housekeeper, Ms. Pushpa who was there daily, who not only shopped for our groceries each morning fresh from market, but also prepared delicious Sri-Lankan style meals to our specifications daily. A memorable stay and hope to be back!

This is a 147 year old bungalow, and the stay was simply fantastic. We loved everything about the house and the host was fantastic to stay awake late in the night to welcome us after a tiring day for us. I would highly recommend this place to others.

We had a really nice experience in this AirBnB. The owner and his brother were really kind and helpful! It’s even bigger than on the photos and has a nice view and very calm. You should know that there can be some insects like ants or mosquitos since it is directly surrounded by nature, which was no problem for us :)

Lovely hosts, a clean and comfortable room, and a great location. Felt like a home away from home. Would definitely return!

The flat in Nuwara Eliya was perfect for what we needed: two nights in a clean and spacious apartment. The flat has everything you need to make you feel like home: comfy beds, TV with access to smart tv, great kitchen, fridge, etc. It’s also very close to the Gregory lake and an amazing cafe that we went to for the 2 mornings we were there: Ayurveda Coffee Shop. Communication with Jeni was fine too, although we never met, the arrangements to check in/out were easy and clear.

The host was kind The location is really nice!!! The lake view at night is awesome. Of course, it's more expensive than the Sri Lanka price, but it seems okay if many people come, and the air conditioner is really cool.

Spacious, clean flat with a balcony overlooking the river and some lovely furnishings and art work. Responsive host and lovely caretaker. We especially appreciated the assistance with transport to Kandy from the airport, the solid breakfast, and the late checkout. Within tuk tuk distance but mercifully removed from the hustle and bustle of the city center.
