Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Cadre exceptionnel, service très haut de gamme. Le personnel de l'hôtel est très à l'écoute, très accueillant et particulièrement agréable. Nous nous sommes sentis très bien accueillis, avec une qualité de prestation très élevé. La vue est splendide, tout était conforme, et même au-delà de nos attentes. Merci à toute l'équipe de l'hôtel pour leur service.
Beautiful quiet location. Very helpful staff, in particular the chef who tried his very best to deal with dietary requirements for every meal. Heated pool and other activities on site were perfect for time spent at the hotel. A walk amongst the tea leaves surrounding the hotel was our favourite.
Bathroom needed some maintenance/ upgrade.
Emplacement, professionnalisme et ambiance de ce magnifique hôtel
De locatie
Voor het geld verwacht je een meer up to date accomodatie. De te harde achtergrond muziek drong door tot onze kamer en leek alsof ik in de spa was voor een massage, continu hetzelfde deuntje. personeel was vriendelijk maar te weinig pro actief, moest vragen om mijn koffie
Posto meraviglioso, immerso nelle piantagioni di tè. Oasi di serenità e pace a Nuwara ELIYA. Lo consiglio vivamente.
Niente da segnalare .
Courteous staff and the location is within the beautiful tea plantation.
Climbing stairs and old fixtures
Prachtige plek en zeer attent en zeer vriendelijk personeel. Eten ook erg goed.
Kamers zijn ruim en mooi maar met name badkamers kunnen wel een opfrisbeurt gebruiken. De prijs is in verhouding met andere door ons bezochte locaties in Sri Lanka te hoog.
Clean
Courtesy, great food and every effort made to make us welcome and at home.
In a colonial era beautiful maintained property. The surrounding gardens were maintained beautifully and was full of flowers.

Absolutely loved the hotel, the hotel manager, the staff! Everything was perfect and I couldn’t not recommend this place more - an absolutely beautiful getaway
Absolutely immaculate and beautifully maintained tea estate villa. Our room was gorgeous with a view to die for over the tea plantations. We loved the circular walk through the tea trees, enjoyed the pool and had fun playing the putting. Food was just fab! The evening meals were excellent quality and the breakfasts plentiful and delicious, including curd and honey which we love. Taking afternoon tea on the lawn on my husband’s birthday felt like a step back in time and was just idyllic. The staff can’t do enough to ensure you enjoy your stay - always smiling and helpful, they are a delight.
Nothing! It’s perfect!
The staff and location
The Langdale feels tired and old fashioned. That is especially true of the bedrooms and bathrooms. When I mentioned this to a member of the staff I was told that the hotel was under going a significant refurb later on the year. The staff are wonderful and deserve better.
Die Lage in den Teefeldern so wie die Möglichkeit einen Spaziergang dort zu unternehmen
Der Swimmingpool war sehr klein und eher nicht geeignet zum Schwimmen
L’hôtel au cœur des plantations de thé. L’atmosphère old England. Des jardins agréables et bien entretenus.
Le restaurant et la cuisine pas en rapport avec la catégorie de l’hôtel. Un bar mal agencé. Des pièces communes qui manquent de charme. Un mauvais rapport qualité prix.
Beautiful amazing hotel with stunning gardens
Liked everything about the property
Super Lage, tolle Zimmer, sehr zuvorkommendes Personal, wunderschöner beheizter Pool, schöne Anlage!
Beautiful property in a stunning location
Location in the middle of the tea plantation. Beautiful idyllic tranquil setting with former colonial family home turned into boutique hotel
Unfortunately understaffed at breakfast. Only one waiter serving all tables at breakfast during the busiest time 7-8am. I would recommend most of breakfast is provided via a help yourself buffet (other than hot food) so those who need to rush to catch the scenic rain don’t have to wait 30 minutes to get served.
Absolutely stunning location! The views are insane, and most of all, incredible hospitality. Unfortunately I was feeling a little under the weather, and they were so kind and accommodating. What is more, I let them know beforehand that we were celebrating our honeymoon and they made so many personal touches, including rose petals on our bed, a special candlelit table, a congratulations cake. It was so thoughtful and very much appreciated! I wish we were able to stay longer. The grounds are immaculately kept as well. Dinner was also lovely. I would highly highly recommend this place. The staff were nothing short of amazing, every single one of the of them! I'm terrible with names but the head of guess services was amazing. Thank you to everyone, endlessly.
I loved everything!
Wir haben unsere Übernachtung eine Stunde vor Ankunft gebucht. Trotzdem war man bestens auf uns vorbereitet. Das Personal war außergewöhnlich freundlich und extrem bemüht. Man wurde vom Hotelmanager persönlich begrüßt. Wir waren in unseren Flitterwochen und trotz kurzfristiger Buchung war alles mit Rosenblättern dekoriert, auch der Tisch für das Abendessen. On top gab es sogar noch einen Kuchen als Überraschung. Die Zimmer und das ganze Haus waren sehr sauber, das Gelände sehr gepflegt. Und das Essen, insbesondere das Frühstück, sehr lecker und reichhaltig. Wir kommen hoffentlich wieder.
The hotel is amazing, with a beautiful location and a fantastic swimming pool. We really enjoyed the opportunity to walk through the tea fields. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, everything was freshly prepared using local ingredients. It was truly an unforgettable experience.
Fabulous jams at breakfast- on site spa was good
No fridge in the room - only 2 channels on the TV tennis and badminton courts were not useable ground wet and muddy.
An amazingly beautiful traditional property set high on the hill overlooking the valley. Service was impeccable and the property in all aspects was first rate. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner in the hotel and also an amazing breakfast .
Nothing
Wunderschöne Kolonial Villa, gemütliche Zimmer mit Blick auf die Teeplantagen und ein Service, der einfach wow ist. Da das Hotel fast 10 km von der Stadt entfernt ist, ist es empfehlenswert, das Zimmer mit Frühstück und Dinner zu buchen. Sowohl Frühstück als auch Dinner werden a la carte serviert. Alles sehr stilvoll serviert, man fühlt sich wie in einem 5 Sterne Restaurant. An meinem Geburtstag hat das gesamte Team mir HAPPY BIRTHDAY gesungen und habe eine leckere Torte bekommen. Hier fühlt man sich wie in einer anderen Welt. Das Hotel ist definitiv zum Empfehlen.
Absolutely beautiful location, staff were fantastic as well. Breakfast was nice and they have their own coconut jam that is simply the bestest thing I have tasted ever! Grateful for the chef giving us the recipe!!
The rooms were nice but bathrooms were a bit outdated and there was a smell in ours (like a damp smell), however this is expected due to the location and being so high up.
The Langdale is a slice of heaven. True old world charm, in the most beautiful old historic hotel where you feel as if you are a guest in someone's home. Small and understated. The view from the balcony room is unforgettable. A place to enjoy a good cup of tea, looking at the tea plantations that surround you. And you can also see the historic Radella cricket ground from the hotel. My only regret is that I had to come alone on this trip, so couldn't enjoy the beautiful lawn tennis court.
We spent two nights at Langdale Boutique Hotel by Amaya and absolutely loved it. The hotel is tucked away in the middle of endless tea fields, and the views are just stunning, it feels like a little world of its own. What made our stay so memorable was the incredible staff. From start to finish, they made us feel so welcome and genuinely cared for, nothing was ever too much trouble. A special thank you to the reception and wait staff, as well as Chef Guiamme, who not only cooked us the most delicious meals but also took the time to share his recipes for Coconut Jam, Dhal, and Onion Sambal. We can’t wait to try them at home and share them with our friends and family. Such a thoughtful gesture that made our stay feel extra personal. We were kindly upgraded for our stay and the room was very comfortable and cozy, and we both slept so well and got the perfect recharge after exploring. We also loved the facilities — the heated pool was perfect after a day of adventuring, the mini golf is a nice touch and the walks around Langdale’s estate were peaceful and beautiful. We also used the laundry service which did a truly excellent job and refreshed our belongings for our onward journey. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Sri Lanka, and we’ll look back on it fondly. If you’re looking for warm hospitality, beautiful surroundings, and truly outstanding service, Langdale is the place to stay.

スリランカ料理以外を食べられるのは良かったのですが、あまり口にあいませんでした。
Nice hotel and friendly staffs. Good breakfast. They arranged tea garden that is 10mins walk from the hotel.
Nothing.
We spent 4 nights at Langdale Boutique Hotel and our experience was simply unbeatable! From the moment we arrived, every detail was taken care of, and the service was outstanding – from the reception team to the waiters, the chef, and every single member of the staff. The hotel itself is idyllic, the perfect place to enjoy a honeymoon or simply relax by the heated pool while admiring the endless tea plantations around. Without a doubt, this is a spectacular accommodation that we would recommend to anyone visiting the area. Thank you so much for everything – we are eternally grateful for these unforgettable days.
Our stay was excellent! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We truly enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend this hotel to others.
Nice and charming hotel, pool with a view, good breakfast
Amazing hospitality by the staff – they went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs. As a vegetarian with specific dietary restrictions, I truly appreciated how every meal was carefully prepared to suit my requirements. The word “No” simply didn’t exist in their service. A special mention to Anuj, who took excellent care of us throughout our stay. I highly recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Nuwara Eliya. Although it’s about a 30-minute drive from the main town, the experience and comfort make it absolutely worth it.
there was nothing that i did not like. Just a small suggestion, the bathrooms need a little makeover to go with the overall vibe and ambiance of the hotel.
Amazing location with splendid view on the tea fields. Very calm and confortable stay. The staff is very professional and caring. Rooms are nicely arranged and provide everything needed. Breakfast is amazing. We highly recommend.
We had a truly wonderful stay. The staff is very attentive, helpful, and extremely friendly. You can tell they are all well trained—it really shows as a guest. The rooms are very clean, beautifully equipped, and spacious. You can swim in the lovely heated pool, play tennis, badminton, or even mini golf. The food was excellent, and the breakfast was plentiful and very delicious. We would love to come back if we travel to Sri Lanka again. Highly recommended!

- The service & the hosts - took exceptional care of us and catered to everything and anything we needed - The venue, the location and the scenery - absolutely breathtaking and very relaxing - Extra curricular activities offered at the venue (e.g., minigolf, tennis courts etc.) - All free of charge!
Absolutely nothing!
Very quiet and nice hotel with excellent staff. Great food and drink selection too. Away from the crowds. Very scenic location.
Very nice time
What an amazing hotel. We were treated like royalty; the staff were so kind and friendly. It was Sri Lankan New Year when we stayed and the hotel hosted some fun party games for the guests on the lawn. We were made to feel so welcome. The room was spacious and the bed was comfy. The view from our balcony was incredible. The food was delicious - the chef even went out of his way to prepare a special curry for me. The grounds are beautiful and there is a short walk directly into the tea plantations from the hotel.
Nothing!
Very peaceful and quiet. Staff are so friendly. Anuj behind the reception was so accommodation and exceptionally helpful.
Bit secluded but if you’re here for peace and quiet then it’s perfect
A beautiful place with stunning views! Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. We visited with our baby, and the staff was very helpful and attentive to our needs. The restaurant and food were excellent. Highly recommended!
Hotel has a nice garden & views of the tea plantations - but is badly managed & is not in good condition internally. E.g. Tired bathrooms, holes in the towels & bathrobes, dead flowers for 2 days in room & also on breakfast table (see photo). Tennis rackets with broken strings Cleaning of rooms not very thorough. Soup served at restaurant table with cling film still on from microwave! Bar is dark & gloomy - with bean bags for seating on the floor (see photo). Although at altitude - the bedrooms have no air conditioning & are very hot & stuffy. One of the 2 rooms we booked for our family was very unpleasant and smelt strongly of drains & kitchen smells. The receptionist was unhelpful & uncooperative resolving this issue. It was a lot of trouble changing the room the next day. Overall a very disappointing hotel & poor value for money.
Incredible views. Staff were really nice. The grounds were lovely. Guests were all posh English people. A nice place to stay in-between other styles of accommodation we explored in Sri Lanka.
Exceptional service
Absolutely stunning property, it almost felt fairytale like watching the green hills around us while playing minigolf or taking a stroll around the tea plantation. Very very picturesque. We also enjoyed the heated pool and my husband the tennis court. The service was also very good and a la carte breakfast excellent.
The bathroom was a little tired so didn’t feel like 5 stars. It didn’t affect our overall experience though. We stayed at Langdale as part of our honeymoon and also informed the hotel about it prior. Opposite to other hotels we stayed at where we got a little something, like a cake, decorated bed, candlelit dinner or similar, we didn’t get this here. A little something here would have made a difference.
Beautiful location and wonderful service. A delightful stay! Thank you!
Great location amidst tea gardens. Serene ! Very courteous staff who took fabulous care of us.
The location amongst the fields of tea; the dinner was delicious (and served very fast); the staff were very kind
The hotel offers 3 room types on Booking: standard, deluxe and premium. We booked deluxe and were given room 101, a poky room with no privacy, literally next to reception and overlooking the entrance door where cars came and went (their website promises all deluxe rooms “Boast heavenly views”). In no way did it match the description or the photos, I think it was a standard room. We refused it and the receptionist worked hard to give us a premium room which was bigger and had privacy. This place needs to be more truthful in its marketing, to invest in the property (the white picket fence the restaurant faces is falling over; the plastic, sloping floor of the enormous shower bath in room 103 wasn’t stable…) and to give their staff a product to be really proud of.
The pool was good and they had crazy golf, badminton and tennis - all equipment provided. The views were to die for and the walk through the tea plantation was really charming. We walked down to Somerset tea factory in the morning and were shown around - great visit and tasted teas. Well worth doing even though we had done one elsewhere We had a room with a balcony and enjoyed sitting out watching the sun go down.
Not enough pool brolleys and def not enough pool beds! We got burnt a little - mentioned it to the front desk people - and yes they knew it was a problem. Our usb charge points in the bedroom did not work - mentioned it but I think they had never been connected. The bar ran out of local beers on the first night but restocked for the next day. The bar only really had seating for 10-12 people which seemed odd - we sat outside but got bitten on my ankles despite insect repellent. Meals - a lot of European food on the menu which seemed to be what people wanted - it is v like a little England from the colonial days.
Amazing location
Room on the ground floor next to the public toilet and the service in the restaurant could have been better
Breakfast was good . Dining room lacks any atmosphere. The setting is breathtaking and beautiful walks into the tea plantation Heated swimming pool and was wonderful !!
The dining room is poor and an ordinary space . Needs windows overlooking the view . If you can get a table on the conservatory that is a much better area. Dining room staff were a bit slow and disorganised but the food was good.
The location is calm and eco-friendly, with beautiful Christmas decorations that create a festive atmosphere
Personal touch in the serving of hot and fresh breakfast
Limited options
Truly exceptional staff really made our stay. The views from the property were spectacular and the grounds were superbly maintained.
The rooms are excessively noisy. The walls are very thin and we were above the kitchen so had noise from 6am to 11pm. Food was very restricted for Sri Lankan options. Bathrooms are old and shabby - need updating. Three times more expensive than the average in Sri Lanka but also our most disappointing stay.
Great
The rains.
The location was amazing, set in the middle of acres of tea plantations. Peaceful, scenic and refined this is an amazing property with amazing staff who could not have done any more to make our stay just great. The breakfast was very high quality with impeccable service and a beautiful view through the open windows looking out on to the countryside. We also had dinner both nights of our stay and again the standard was very high. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here on my next trip to Sri Lanka.
Nothing. Our stay was absolutely perfect
The hotel is an old tea plant and is designed in a very colonial style way. Staff was attentive and nice. We also had the dinner included in our booking. Overall it's a good stay but it was the most expensive stay we had in Sri Lanka and compared to all other hotels given the price levels, we did not get the same comfort.
The bar area is not very comfortable, no tables at the lounge area and the high stools are not meant to sit for long. Also the bed hasn't been super comfortable.
Stunning location, excellent food and drink, very attentive staff and good facilities. The room and bathroom were both spacious and clean
Nothing
This hotel exceeded our expectations .We’ve been treated like royalty. The service is of a 5 star hotel. And the best part is that it’s in the middle of nature. This is a 13 room boutique hotel in the middle of a tea plantation , nothing else contaminates the sights. I wouldn’t hesitate one second on choosing this hotel over any of the 5 star hotel in the centre of the town. The extra mileage is more than justified. As you go further to the west from Nuwara Eliya the landscape gets better and better, more unspoiled. The views are unbeatable and the building is a charming 130 years old planters bungalow recently rehabilitated that is spotless clean and in a perfect state of maintenance. The food is outstanding . We were on a half board basis which I strongly recommend , not that you have many other options but you don’t need them either because once in the hotel you don’t want to leave any more. We enjoyed all the activities offered . Please don’t miss the Horton Plains hike . It’s very easy and very gratifying. We saw deers in the wild and impressive views. You don’t need a guide if you don’t want to. We also walked around the property and through the tea plantation , magic landscape , swim on the warm swimming pool and visit the tea factory, a must. Also try to buy as much tea as you can at Somerset. It’s premium quality at very affordable prices compared to Europe . In addition, as our train was delayed they kindly offered us a late check out. I would strongly recommend this hotel if you are planning to come to Nuwara Eliya and you want luxury in the middle of nature.
The staff were super professional and helpful. One time I went to for a sightseeing, they contacted their regular company. We were supposed to arrive at 4 pm, but I asked the driver to pass by a local shop, at 5 pm they were calling the driver to check if I'm okay or not. They also celebrated my birthday. This is perfect place for whoever is looking for elite standards.
Absolutely nothing. Everything was perfect.
The service was impeccable from start to finish.
Great place in an amazing location. Lots of options to do sports, a small trail nearby in the tea plantation, and a nice little pool. Food was really good.
We loved everything: breakfast and dinner served in a lovely dining room, the warm pool which could be used also when it was cold outside and helpfulness of the staff.
Great experience with the food, front desk staff and location
Mr. Fauzi, the general manager, was highly uncooperative and didn’t tend to our requests. His stubbornness and lack of willingness to make guest experience better made our great trip to langdale sour.
The location could not be more perfect. A gorgeous cottage right in the middle tea fields, you could not ask for a better way to experience the Nuwara Eliya/ Nanu Oya hill country. The staff were exceptional in theory professionalism and friendliness. The fppd was exquisite. And the view will be forever seared into my memory as what heaven might look like. If you manage to pull yourself away from the delights of the cottage, the Somerset Tea Factory tour was absolutely exceptional. My friend had already been on a tea factory tour and for me the trip was really perfunctory (when in Rome) but it was absolutely fascinating, I learned so much. I could not recommend it more. A top tea-er experience!!
Location, staff, room, quality of the service and the old britidh style of the hotel. Tea plantation tracks, and the view from the hotel
Breakfast and dinner set menu options were very limited. Also I think meal prices were expensive. I would prefer to eat in restaurants at city center. Breakfast meal size could be improved.
We really enjoyed our stay at Langdale due to the sheer beauty of the views and the exceptional quality of service extended by their very friendly staff. The food was also incredible.
Beautiful hotel with well maintained rooms and premises. The hospitality and service standards were impeccable. The staff were friendly, thoughtful and attentive to all our needs and went out of their way to ensure we had a pleasant stay. A huge thank you to Saif, Anoj, Kevin and Hussein.
A very special small hotel - beautifully furnished. The staff were amazing. The food was very good. The views of tea plantations were great. Nice to have the option to play 9 hole putting, badminton and tennis. The swimming pool was very nice but quite small. The sun lounger area was beautiful. Great that they provided driver accommodation.
We didn’t realise the hotel was about a 25 min drive into Nuwara Eliya.
Stunning setting. The room was bigger than most, clean and very comfortable. Great service from very friendly staff and the food was was nice as well.
There is nothing to complain about.
The view into the valley was amazing, the staff was super welcoming, the room was spacious and the bed really comfortable. The whole vibe of the place is very unique. It feels like you live on a luxurious farm.
The bathroom is maybe a little outdated, but this is cherrypicking - because everything else was amazing :)
Charm, location and service
Not applicable
Langdale is a wonderful small Boutique Style Hotel with old world charme. The staff is very attentive and charming. The location is close to the train station Nanu Oya in the middle of tea plantations with stunning views and scenery. Loved our early morning walk through the teaplantation, the temperatures here are very pleasant and we felt like some exercise after some long travel days. We only spend on night to brake the train ride from Ella to Kandy which we thought was perfect. We could have easily stayed a little longer and just enjoyed this peaceful place. Beds were very comfortable and the whole hotel is spotless and perfectly maintained. We had dinner in the hotel, I personally preferred the local choices on the menu to the western style.
Maybe a few more sunbeds by the pool area.
A lovely boutique hotel in a beautiful location. We had transport issues and the young lady receptionist was so helpful. Lovely food.
Room was a little basic but not a problem.
Everything. Location, acomodations, staff and Theo wonderfull food.
stunning views across the tea plantations that words quite simply cannot describe. really beautiful common areas with little touches (grass tennis court, chess set all laid out, walks around the plantation) Great food, breakfast was particularly nice with the windows open looking over the valley. Wonderful staff from the interaction in advance of our arrival, the wonderful reception staff, great service in the restaurant and bar and the unsung heroes of the housekeeping team and the gardeners. It was a wrench to leave and we would definitely return.
Ever so slightly tired around the edges in our room and the bar area. The pool umbrellas are tatty.
