The family was very welcoming and we enjoyed our stay there, they gave us umbrellas since it was raining. The location is good, right next to the railway station and close to the main street. The food was excellent, best breakfast we had during the whole trip, the Banana pancake was delicious !

They serve welcome tea when we arrived! It was really pleasant welcoming! I was able to sleep peacefully here especially after our nightmare stay in Nuwara Eliya. This place is walkable from the train station. It is beside the tea garden. It is near Matey's hut where I highly recommend you to try their food and cooking class! Suda's family are really nice! They also have cats and dogs. When you sit outside, you can observe different birds surrounding the homestay. It's like an oasis! They offered Sri lankan/Western breakfast for 550rs. It's a good deal since they will serve you sumptuous amount of food! They also have laundry service for 400 rs per kilo which is affordable. Overall, it is value for the money!

The room is very clean and big. Sri Lankan breakfast is great. the owner is very friendly and helpful.

It was our second visit to the place. We were very glad to find out that she had started offering cooking classes that were very reasonably priced for the number of dishes we cooked. There was enough food for 5 people and it was all delicious. She was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great and massive. We had to pack part of it for lunch. She arranged for a tuk tuk to take us out to Lipton's seat as well as to a hidden waterfall you can swim in. We enjoyed our stay there very much!

I absolutely LOVED everything about it and would highly recommend staying there. Sudha is beyond hospitable and a soul of the home. She will make you feel like you are a part of the family and just incredible human being.

The hosts were especially very nice and kind with a big heart!! The location was great, very close to the train station and the bed was very comfortable with a hot shower. Very quiet environment and still very close to the action of the city center. A very good breakfast!

Location is nice it has a nice view over mountain. Owner is very good and friendly.

Fantastic location and the most friendly owners. Delicious breakfasts. The tea plantation is just behind the homestay!

Perfect, quite location, the odd noise from a train but found it rather soothing. Very close to town without the noise from the bars at night. Sudha and her family were so lovely and helpful really made us feel at home. She helped organise a trip via tuk tuk with Ishan to the Waterfall for a swim which after going we would of never found. She had great knowledge of the area and especially places not so touristy which we loved. We choose to do the cooking class with her which was so much fun and delicious. So much tasty food. I really can’t praise Sudha enough. Such a wonderful woman, we loved coming back from a mornings exploring to her bringing us tea and having a chat on the terrace. If you’re looking for a friendly home stay with a lovely family please try here it truly is wonderful. She even has a puppy shitzu.

the owners are extremely helpfull. The location is perfect, near the station, best is to cross the rails to have a shortcut to the place instead of the main railway exit. I suggest the cooking lessons and food. Sadhu is an excellent and passionate cook and teacher :). Cosy couch outside on the terras
