Guest Houses in Haputale

This is our second time in Haputale. This time we chose a wonderful modern hotel, not far from the Adisham monastery. For my wife and me, this place is one of the best in Sri Lanka. Beautiful nature around, where you can climb the mountains and walk among the tea plantations. No crowds of tourists like in Ella, you can only see tea pickers and local women with bundles of firewood on their heads. We had a very nice room with a large balcony, huge floor-to-ceiling windows and a fantastic view of the mountains and lakes. The visibility from the window is more than 50 km. There is a table in the room to work on the computer. The hotel offers excellent breakfasts and dinners. The choice of dishes is simply huge, you don’t often see this in most hotels in Sri Lanka. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Thanks to Hashan that everything is perfectly organized and working, for his willingness to help in any situation. The hotel left the best impressions, we will definitely come back again

To begin with, I love Nilowin this place a lot. It was so amazing to stay at this lovely and beautiful place with full of love, help and support from the family Saman,Shan, Madushi, Sujatha and the lovely dog mummy Ruby and puppies. 1. For me, I always care more about the people of the place. And about Nilowin, it’s just amazing to have met this lovely and warm family. Saman, the older brother who is not only just the host for me, he also tried to give me a lot of good tips about traveling Sri Lanka, like sharing the route of trekking around our place to the railway trail, and also accompanied me and another guest to the top of tea plantation to see the nice sunset and also walked through the village, and also he shared a lot of good ideas about his cooking school plan and showed me the kitchen and garden he is going to build etc. And Shan, the younger brother is really fun and interesting person and always prepares the food I love for me everyday and also took me to the Sunday market to buy fruits and tuna, and when I go out of Nilowin, he always drives me to the station and when I come back he will pick me up. And Madushi, the wife of Saman , she is a little bit shy but super cute and friendly and helpful, yes , she even taught me how to cook pork curry with potatoes ( I love it a lot even though it’s super spicy). And Sujatha, the mother of two brothers, she is also lovely and likes smiling a lot every time when she sees me, and one more thing about the mother Sujatha, she cooks so tasty food , onion sambol, egg hoppers, rice and curry , fried rice, western breakfast, milk rice , coconut rotti etc, I love all the food she cooks. And the dog family Ruby and puppies just make my stay at Nilowin so happy and full of sweet memories, I love to hug them and pat them, and every time when I open the cage for them , I love to see them jump on me and kiss me, they just warm and melt my heart.

Excellent place in Haputale, we really loved it. The room was very comfortable and clean, it had everything we needed. The host is very nice, he helped us with all our questions and was very welcoming. We will stay here again if/when we come back!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Haputale. The location is perfect with beautiful views of the hills, and it is very peaceful — an ideal place to relax. The couple were extremely welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Haputale, whether for a short visit or a longer holiday. I am looking forward to coming back again!

Wow! I only have great things to say about this place. The clean, great location and hospitality of the room was incredible. The lovely lady, Kalai, who owns the property is incredibly sweet and humorous. I was the only guest staying here for 2 nights and she treated me as part of her family - even making me breakfast on the day I checked out. I 100% recommend this stay to any other traveller. You can also rent a scooter for a small fee to explore further outside of town.

The place was great with amazing views and a calm atmosphere. You hardly ever hear any vehicle traffic. You could hear a lot of birds, especially in the morning. The staff did an amazing job to make us comfortable and made us delicious meals. The owner, Muni lives next door and was very responsive to all our questions and requests. The villas themselves are very nicely designed, built and decorated. Everything was very thoughtfully done. Great place to wind down and get in touch with nature.

We had a great stay at Lilly Guest Inn. The family was very welcoming and helpful. They cooked us amazing dinner and breakfast! They gave us great tips about the area and also organized tuk tuk for us. The room was very clean and comfortable. Wifi worked very well. We hope to come back soon because Haputale has lots to offer!

The view from the room is beautiful, you are surrounded by nature. There are trails that wind through the tea fields to other mountain peaks and lookouts. The home cooked meals are incredible. I will definitely return as soon as I can.

The person in charge was the nicest person I met in Sri Lanka so far (and the that’s saying something!). Great for a short stay….amazing views from just outside. The town itself is not the most picturesque but there’s plenty of amazing views short tuk tuk rides away!
