    Beds too short for europeans and too hard. Smell in the room. Floor was sticky. Nothing to hang clothes and store luggage. You have to take your luggage up the stairs, almost 20m. Noise of dogs and traffic.

    Warm water and view on the tea fields.

    The hot work is a little slow, and unable to adjust the temperature levels. Means, the temp is very low. Also, the bathrooms don't have soap and other toiletries.

    The owner is friendly and helpful. He has arranged the place nicely. The prices were reasonable. The rooms were quite comfortable and they have provided nice blankets for us. This helps a lot to stay warm during the night. The place is right in front of the bus stop and you can easily get into a bus. Overall, we are quite happy 😀😀 of the service and the place. Recommended.

    Cool Mount Guest is a very nice low budget accommodation. The owners were nice and hosted us well, even though we experienced better hosts during our 3 weeks stay in Sri Lanka. I guess it was due to missing English skills, but still I think they can improve. The room was okay for the price, it was clean and we had everything we needed. The water was hot. Breakfast was very very good, I can highly recommend it.

    Thanks for sharing your experience — that sounds really frustrating. I can help you draft a formal complaint or a request for a refund. Here's a cleaned-up and professional version of your complaint that you can send to the hotel management, consumer protection authority, or share with the police if needed: Subject: Complaint Regarding Poor Hotel Service and Request for Refund Dear [Hotel Name/Owner's Name], I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding the poor service and unacceptable condition of your hotel during my recent stay from [insert dates]. Upon my arrival, I found that the room was not cleaned. After informing you, instead of providing proper cleaning service, you handed me a broom and expected me to clean the room myself. The bathroom was also in poor condition—the shower tap was damaged, and you provided a tool instead of repairing or replacing it. Additionally, the bed was broken and unsafe for use. Due to these issues, I decided to leave the hotel on the second day. When I informed you in the morning, you insisted I pay for two full days, even though the service was substandard. I did not agree to this, and after involving the local police, the matter was resolved by me paying an additional amount of ₹3,500 under pressure. You also threatened me several times during this situation. I am requesting a refund of the additional ₹3,500 I paid, as I was forced to leave early due to the unacceptable condition of the hotel and the threats I received. Please consider this a formal complaint. If I do not receive a response or refund within 7 days, I will escalate this matter to the consumer protection authority and relevant local authorities.

    Bath room was cleaned but hot water shaver is very poor. Not recommended for family stay.

    I would suggest room should have at least one water bottle and kettle for hot water.
