We loved our stay at Leisure Mount View. We booked 3 nights but stayed 4 as there was so much to do in the area and the hotel was fabulous. THE FOOD: We ate 3 dinners and 4 breakfasts at the hotel. The buffet dinner was delicious and offered more choice than anywhere else we've been in Sri Lanka. We also ordered from the menu one evening and the chicken biriyani was our favourite! The breakfast buffet was huge. On order were hoppers, toast with butter and jam, dahl, various sweet cakes, coconut string hoppers, as well as a lovely selection of fruit, fresh juices and tea/coffee. We were also offered eggs cooked however we liked. THE VIEW: Our big bedroom overlooked the incredible view of tea plantation fields and mountains. Each morning we opened the curtains and watched the sunrise. Beautiful. THE HOSPITALITY: Hashan and his team couldn't have done more for us. A printed folder, which included various local activities, including hikes, attractions (e.g Lipton Seat), massages, and a cooking class, was available at the reception to help plan our itinerary. We did the cooking class with Hashan's aunty and we loved it. We also enjoyed our chats with Hashan who shared lots of information about Sri Lankan life, culture and food. We were made to feel like we were more like old friends and not hotel guests.

The staff are wonderful. I must mention Bushbar who was so accommodating, kind and helpful. We had a delicious takeaway breakfast on checkout as we had an early train back to Colombo. The room was very comfortable, breakfast and dinner very good. Location is a 15 minute walk or 5 minute tuk tuk drive from the main street of Haputale which we loved. Great place to stay with plenty of walking through the tea plantations and small villages. Liptons Seat is only an hour tuk tuk ride away - the full day walk back to The Nest is beautiful. Highly recommend if staying in Haputale.

Staying at Sana’s Homestay was a really lovely part of our time in Sri Lanka. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was outstanding—Sana and his family were so kind and thoughtful. His mother is an amazing cook, and her tea quickly became our favorite! The room was perfect for us: clean, cozy, with a private bathroom and its own entrance, which made it feel like our own little retreat. The views from the property are absolutely breathtaking—waking up to the misty hills of Haputale was unforgettable. Few things to note: • The road to the homestay isn’t well marked on Google Maps, so it’s best to contact as you get close—the host is super helpful and will make sure you find it without any trouble. • There is parking if you have a tuktuk or bike • There are a few up steps to get to the property. If you're after a quiet, scenic, and genuine experience in the hill country, this is the place!

Value for money. Nice room with views, good walking possibilities in the surrounding. Beautiful surrounding, good breakfast, very nice hosts, waterboiler and tea and sucker in the room, hot shower. Go with the local bus (behind the main road) to Lipton tea factories. Beautiful views, a lot of tea plants. The factory is oke to visit. Nice to go up from there to ‘Lipton seat’. With sunrise it is often a great view. We saw only mist. But still we enjoyed the ‘outing’ a lot. We liked also the balconies and nice chairs to sit everywhere. 1 km from town. We walked.

The home is beautiful and very well built. It sits on a hill therefore, the view is amazing and you are immersed in nature. The family that owns and runs the home is so friendly and accomodating. We were given an amazing breakfast along with advice on our travels. I conclusion: the place and location is beautiful, the home is very clean and the food is very good but most importantly the family of this home are very friendly and make the stay extremely worth it. If you are visiting Haputale I really reccomend this place. My father and I were very satisfied with everything they had to offer including the proximity it has to the town. Thank you for hosting us!

Everything was perfect. These are probably the best money we have spent in Sri Lanka. We are on a budget and got the cheapest room, which still felt like a luxury hotel. The view was exceptional, the crew were incredibly helpful and sweet and the breakfast was the best we had gotten yet. Huge recommendation.

    Amazing woman in an amazing location. The entire take is “rustic living” in Sri Lanka: boiled water for the shower with natural herbs from the garden, home cooked food over an open fire, and the best sleep you’ll get in town. I’ve stayed in many Homestay across South Asia — nothing have compared to the quality and hospitality of this. Thanks so much Gesheila :)

    The homestay offers incredible views, large, comfortable rooms, and a peaceful atmosphere. But the most special part of Nilowin is the kind, helpful family who run the guesthouse and the delicious, fresh, home cooked food in an idyllic setting. Our whole family took the cooking class and learned so much about Sri Lankan food and culture. I can't recommend it enough. The local village and tea fields are beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed it all so much that we extended our stay.

    We actually loved staying here and knew the moment we came that we wanted to stay another night! Everybody was so amazing and helped us organise our trips :) The food was also really really good! Shirodh was our driver for the 2-3 days and made our experience a lot better here! He stopped everywhere we wanted to and also explained and showed us many things! All in all we loved the welcoming family and their homestay with its amazing view of the mountains and tea plantations!
