It was the best stay we had in Sri Lanka! The hotel looks even better in real than at the pictures. The staff is incredible, freidnly and helpful, soo lovely people🙏 Waking up with the view from the window and having delicious breakfast in the open restaurant is sooo magical. Moreover the hotel is located pretty close to the centrum (especially by tuk tuk). Highly highly recommended!

It is in a quiet and beautiful location with amazing views. The hotel is clean and nicely decorated. The staff are very friendly and always ready to help. The food at the restaurant is tasty, and the pool is wonderful. My room was clean and comfortable, and I loved being surrounded by nature. A perfect place to relax!

Capoe House is a wonderful villa with two room among terraced rice fields and mountains. Its hard to get there. The hotel offroad will pick you up in the village and bring you to an amazing place outside of civilization. The view from the room is breathtaking and the staff are amazingly nice and helpful and will do anything for you. The chef cooks just for you and the food is great (except for the beef :-))

The location is great if you want to go to Lipton's seat - aprox. 30 min by tuk tuk. The breakfast was delicious - plate of fruits, you can choose eggs - scrambled/omelette, toasts with butter and jam, juice, tea and coffee. The staff is nice and helpful. You can pay accommodation by card. They organized taxi from Haputale to Negombo for 35000 rupies. Definitely recommended!

We stayed at the most wonderful hotel, and it honestly exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, the manager went out of his way to help us organize our trips and make sure everything ran smoothly. He took his time to talk to us, offer advice, and make sure we were comfortable with every plan — something you don’t often experience in hotels. Our server, Ranawada (apologies if I got the name slightly wrong), was absolutely amazing. He was always so kind, attentive, and full of interesting stories about the food and the local culture. Every meal felt special, not just because the dishes were different each day and always delicious, but because they were served with such care and pride. Throughout our stay, we were surprised again and again by so many thoughtful gestures — both big and small. From the warm smiles to the little details that showed how much the staff truly cared, it all made us feel at home. Their attention to detail and genuine kindness were unforgettable. The rooms were beautiful, spotless, and so comfortable, and the location couldn’t have been better — peaceful and scenic. It’s rare to find a place where every single person seems to genuinely want you to be happy. Leaving was honestly bittersweet — I was ready to go home, but it was hard to say goodbye to the wonderful people who made our stay so special. We will remember this experience for a long time and recommend this hotel with all our hearts.❤️

    Ella is a wonderful place to explore. It’s very clean and has breathtaking views everywhere. The people are kind, the local food is amazing, and it’s perfect for families, friends, or groups. With easy access to Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak, Ella Rock, and tea plantations, it’s an ideal base for a week of sightseeing and adventure.

    My trip to Bandarawela was a memorable experience, combining the town's quaint charm, stunning natural landscapes, and the welcoming atmosphere of the local community. The food in Bandarawela offers a delightful mix of traditional Sri Lankan cuisine and fresh local produce. Highlights include spicy curries, coconut-based dishes, and an array of tropical fruits, all reflecting the region's rich culinary heritage.

    Haputale is a breathtaking hill town surrounded by lush tea estates and misty mountains. We stayed at Benito Bungalow by The Serendipity Collection, where the in-house chef prepared fresh and delicious meals every day. The cool climate, scenic views, and peaceful setting made it the perfect place to unwind. It’s quieter and less touristy than other hill stations, which adds to its charm. A true hidden gem in Sri Lanka!

    Even though My stay in Badulla was too short to visit all the beautiful places, the trip to Dunhida waterfall was a great experience, especially for kids. The path to Dunhida might be difficult for someone. I believe it was a very nice experience to walk through the jungle. Once you see the waterfall, you will forget all the tiredness.
