The owner is great.. Amazing service, top notch view. Although it's 10 min drive from city- up in the moutain, It's very easy to call tuktuks. Won't even take more than 5-8 min.

I stayed one night at RC Awkward in Nuwara Eliya. The property was clean, comfortable, and had a hot shower—perfect for the chilly nights. Rajith, the host, was kind, accommodating, and reliable. He offered a car lift to explore the tea plantations and prepared a delicious breakfast.

Everything from facilities, room, service, and especially the hotel manager, Yas and his assistant. Yas is very polite and supportive. He packed a breakfast for us and our driver on days that we went out in the early morning. The hotel food is also very nice.

Ara the owner and his mother are one of the best ive met in Sri Lanka. The owner is super friendly and very helpful who u can trust him blindly (if u compare his prices to others). The design of the room is perfect, gives u tree house vibes but with all facilities u need.

We had very bad luck entering Nuwara Eliya but we were extremely lucky that we booked in Woods Hut! Owned by a lovely family and they made our stay unforgettable and we wish we could stay longer! An amazing fresh cooked breakfast was prepared for us!

The hosts were so nice to us. We got tea on arrival which was much needed as it was colder than we expected in Nuwara Eliya. We were also given many recommendations for activities the next day. I commented on his orange tree on the way out and he gave us about 4 to take with us. We only stayed for one night but I’d highly recommend this place.

    Beautiful Homestay run by beautiful people. A lovely warm host family that fixed the holes in my shirt, sat about chatting and cooked us a delicious dinner and breakfast. Great room with big cosy blankets on the bed. Great location with a 3 minute walk to the Tea Factory (get there early to see the whole process). Highly recommend staying here.
