Location Difficult to access

Facility

Stayed in July 2025

The property is smaller than appears in the photographs. It is a duplex - the left side only is the advertised accommodation, the right side is another accommodation, which is less well kept. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all upstairs. This was an issue for us as we were travelling with elderly parents who struggled with the stairs.

Stunning location high in the hills. Comfortable rooms with modern furnishings and absolutely terrific breakfasts! Dinner was incredibly reasonably priced and serving sizes were huge! The host Raja, was always on hand to offer a coffee. Water cooler is available. Drivers accommodation on site.

The location was amazing. Surrounded with full of tea farms. One thing I didn’t like is 3% additional amount on total bill and this was not highlighted by booking.com while booking the venue. This charged additional amount than I budgeted.

Additional fees were needed to use the stove separately and all groceries had to be provided by us which was a little challenging if you’re not from the area and the shops are out of the way a little.

Very safe location, well maintained and well taken care of. The food provided was good and plenty and was easy to communicate with the staff. The rooms were neat and clean and comfortable

Place in need of a revamp or at least a thorough clean. Smoken cigarettes still left around, bathrooms needed a good clean and the beds had stains and hairs on them - not sure if they had been changed from previous guest.

Really nice view. Big bedrooms, nice dining room and kitchen. Owner super responsive and helpful.

Hand towels and toiletries like toothbrush etc. could be provided in the bathrooms

The location of the property was just right for us, neither too close nor too far from the city centre! We stayed for two nights. The staff provided exceptional service and were quite friendly. They also helped to prepare delicious dinners on both the days of our stay! Huge thanks to Selvaraj and Vasanth for going out of the way to make us feel at home. Hummingbird is a perfect place for a home away from home!! Thanks to the entire team for their exemplary service and making our stay comfortable!

the service

Very narrow approach road suitable only for small cars. Limited parking and turning space. No bedrooms on the ground floor need to go up a narrow wooden staircase. Not an issue for young and healthy individuals with only backpacks.Bathroom shower water flooded the whole bathroom in 3 of the rooms. Owners charged 1500 extra just to use the kitchen. We used it to cook rice in our travel cooker.

Food prepared by the staff for breakfast was good. No variety, only string hoppers with sides, but tasty. Room heater available.

Overall, the house was dirty, specially the bathrooms. The living areas were poorly cleaned and much smaller than expected based on the pictures. Windows do not close properly. Lack of towels, soap, shower gel and toilet paper….

The view was ok but it did not correspond to the pictures.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this luxurious cottage in Nuwara Eliya and I must say, it was truly a remarkable experience. The cottage boasts 4 beautifully decorated rooms, each with its own attached bathroom complete with heaters and hot water. The wood flooring adds a touch of elegance to the space, while the 55 inch flat screen TVs with Peo TV connection in every room provided endless entertainment options. One of the things that stood out to me the most was how warm and inviting the cottage felt. The staff were incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The tasty breakfast served each morning was a delightful start to the day and really added to the overall experience. Overall, I can confidently say that this cottage is one of the best places I have ever stayed in Nuwara Eliya. The luxurious yet cozy atmosphere made me feel right at home and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable stay in this beautiful destination.

We stayed at Hummingbird Hill Cottage for one night and had an exceptional experience. The cottage was clean, stylish, and spacious with excellent service at dinner. The food was delicious and great value for money, with attentive and efficient service. The room was well-equipped and comfortable, with heaters in every room, a 55-inch flat-screen TV with satellite connection, perfect hot water, and beautifully designed wood floors. I was amazed by everything and believe this is one of the best cottages in Nuwara Eliya. It will definitely be one of my first choices to visit again. Highly recommended!

This is the first time my family visited to Sri Lanka all the way from overseas. They had heard about how amazing Sri Lanka people and their kind hospitality of the locals. But once we reached to Nuwara Eliya Hummingbird Hills Cottage, everything was far from our expectations. I have attached all the pics and conversations as evidence and let future guests know how this property owner lady treat us. We arrived to the hummingbird hills cottage around 10:30 p.m with my family. First thing it’s difficult take the vehicle up to the cottage. Road is not in good condition. Once we entered to the place we were found one cctv monitor hidden inside a cupboard. Few cameras were blank and few cameras are seen outside. We asked about this from the owner through WhatsApp since there was no responsible person to talk at the property, And once we entered to our room we found some rubbish inside the drawers and cupboard. I sent some pictures and inform the lady owner. Her reply was she don’t want like us complaint guest and suggest us to check out. That was her solution. Then next day morning they promised us they will arrange take away breakfast for us and at 5:00a.m since we had planned to go to see the sunrise and hiking. When we going to living room to collect it, there were no breakfast arranged. We waited until 5:15a.m then suddenly one of their staff came and kept one plate full of the white slice breads, one plate of sausages and one bowl of hard boiled eggs on the table. This breakfast service was definitely not what we had expected. We had been to many other hotels and when we informed the hotel that we need morning breakfast packed, our breakfast were all nicely packed individually, not like this hummingbird hills where the staff just leave the items on the table. There was not jam and butter until I had to ask the staff and he give us one butter and jam bottle and said to pack our breakfast ourselves and give us newspapers to pack!

Nothing

On arrival (which was late in the night), we had Vasanth greet us and help settle us in. He is an excellent cook, an expert in getting us to places that we need to go and went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable. He is truly an asset to the owner/s of this cottage. Thank you Vasanth!

The bathrooms were missing hand towels. WiFi signal could be stronger.

The cottage is stunning - it was as if we were transported to the English countryside. We checked in a day after Christmas and the cottage was beautifully decorated, with even a digital fireplace. The fit out seems new and the kitchen was well equipped with utensils. The highlight of our stay was Ramesh - the chef and overall caretaker of the property. Not only is he excellent at cooking Sri Lankan food, he was very helpful with our requests - helping us out with a smile throughout! Ramesh was key to the joyful stay we had at the cottage.

Bit dusty downstairs and heating downstairs not that hot. Bathrooms are a bit dated

Host was amazing - home cooked food in the morning was absolutely beautiful. Made us feel very welcome. Very clean and warm with heaters in every room.

Stayed in August 2023

The only issue was the hot water was going in and out

The property was beautifully kept and was very clean! Ramesh was very helpful and kind and tended to all our needs. His cooking was exquisite and I would definitely recommend people to stay here if you are travelling as a group :)

the access to the villa is slightly tricky if you come in a big van like us. and with rain, it’s not advisable. so think of parking down the road as there are stairs that can guide you directly to the house

The Cottage was nicely located, in a quite hill just before getting to N’Elya. It was nicely decorated and the rooms were the right size and very comfortable. the heaters in every room was a great extra touch to feel comfy! hot water was available! the view from the rooms was awesome! we were welcomed by Ramesh the cook who kindly called us the day before to ask about our needs for dinner and breakfast! the food was delicious and very generous. Ramesh was kind and very professional! thank you for making our stay in Nuwara Eliya mémorable!
