Hôte discret mais serviable au possible ! Tout est mis en place pour que votre ascension se fasse dans les meilleures conditions, jusqu’à vous montrer le point de départ (prêt de lampes torche et capes de pluie si besoin) + petit déjeuner copieux après la redescente.
部屋が清潔。 シャワーのお湯が出る。 アダムスピークの登山口まで徒歩5分とロケーションが良い。
sehr sehr nette Hosts, Regenmantel und Taschenlampe wurden ohne zu fragen gratis zur Verfügung gestellt, leckeres Abendessen und Frühstück.
aufgrund der Luftfeuchtigkeit gab es einen muffigen Geruch im Badezimmer, Duschshampoo überdeckt den Geruch 😉
Nice place perfect to do adam’s Peak as is at the begining of the trail. That provide you a rain coat and torch in case you don’t have. Good breakfast in a good price and attentive staff
They offer amazing food and breakfast which changes every day. Highly recommended when you plant to hike Adam’s peak
Casa a due passi dall'inizio della salita ad Adam's peak; personale molto gentile, ci ha fornito torcia e impermeabili, la colazione era molto abbondante e una delle migliori avute in Sri Lanka! La camera è abbastanza ben fornita, con zanzariera, e il bagno spazioso con doccia calda. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo
Wifi poco funzionante e abitazione difficile da trovare, magari bisogna mettere un cartello!
Ottima posizione
Een fijne locatie vlak bij het startpunt van de Adam’s Peak. Het ontbijt na de beklimming was een van de beste van ons verblijf in Sri Lanka. Goede douche.
Er waren veel vliegende mieren in onze kamer.
Super accueil, situé au départ de l'ascension d'Adams' peak. Petit déjeuner très copieux et servi au retour de l'ascension
The hospitality and kindness of the family was really touching. The house is very clean and brand new , you get a large room and large bathroom and there is a living room with sofa and dining table. The place was just 5 minutes walk to the adams peak trail head. Near the house there are a few fancy and local restaurants with mostly foreign tourist. I had , dinner ,breakfast and lunch with the family and the food was so delicious and in a large portion. Also the bus from maskeliya stops very close to the house frequently throughout the day.There is also a bus to colombo at 5.30 am from there which the family even walked me to and i am so grateful to them. This is the perfect and calm place to spend a few days while you are climbing the adams peak
Very good place with friendly people and always here to help you! Thanks again !
Near Adam’s peak
This hostel is run by a 17-18 year old girl and she pays very well. I reached the hostel at 8 in the night with the guests and she was waiting for me just like our mother or sister would do at home. Thank u ☺️ Himanshi ❤️
The host welcomed me at the bus station. The rooms were very clean and I spent a pleasant night. The family is friendly and their treatment is high-class. The host gave me a rain jacket and an umbrella to protect me from the rain. I will definitely return to this place... The place is run by a respectable and helpful family...
No things
Perfect location for the night before climbing Siri Pada. The staff is very kind, on top of your needs. Fabulous breakfast, what everyone will expect once you return from quite a strenuous climb. Overall peaceful experience. All the best!
Good location, close to centre of town and the trail head. Everything in walking distance. Very friendly and helpful staff. We were offered tea or coffee at arrival. Clean rooms with mosquito netting. They served a great breakfast in the morning when we came down from the hike.
The only negative was that there was a smell at the bathroom.
Kind and helpful host. Clean, cozy, silent room. Delicious dinner and breakfast. Flexible breakfast time (I walked up to Sri Pada at night). Really close to the Sri Pada starting point.
Great location, right in town with parking for the rented tuktuk. The host was kind.
There was a strong smell from our bathroom, so we ended up hanging out on the couches a bunch instead of in the room.
Nice and very helpful people 🫶
A simple guesthouse in a fantastic location for the Sri Pada hike. The owner was so helpful, walking us to the start and the breakfast is incredible!
The hot water in the shower was playing up, but the owner was trying his best to fix it.
The staff were friendly and helpful, the place was clean and well located but not very noisy. The breakfast has fruit.
A little bit noisy. In our opinion, the breakfast's hoppers and other pastries were not very tasty and a bit dry.
Great location, one of the closest places to Adam’s peak! Nice and friendly staff, clean room and lovely breakfast.
Very welcoming hosts who served me some coffee and a snack when I arrived earlier than I was supposed to. They also did my laundry without any additional cost. I was supposed to stay over with a friend but he didn't come and they offered me a price for one person. When I informed them that the WiFi didn't work they fixed it in a minute which was particularly important for me as I needed to work. The breakfast was enormous and very tasty - best breakfast I had in Sri Lanka. I had a wonderful stay!
Very friendly staff …was greeted with tea and biscuits Great location for anyone that wants to climb Adams peak . Clean and comfortable with warm shower
The place is small,run by a lovely family and is very clean. They made our stay very comfortable and served us a very nice breakfast.
Clean, spacious, good value. They provided a welcome tea and though it’s not included in the booking price, the breakfast was really great
Great location, lovely welcoming tea, good breakfast and very strong WiFi!
Nothing
Prepare for the fact that you will be greeted in this place not because of what kind of person you are, but because of what color your skin color is and what country you are from... I don't recommend it to anyone...
Warmest shower I had in all Sri Lanka and good wifi. Super friendly host who showed me around. Breakfast was superb.
Nothing to complain about. Maybe AC during hot days but it was fine without.
Very nice stuff and wonderful breakfast. We had a nice stay.
When arriving in the village.. someone waited for us and wanted to help us guide to the stay. Eventually,. We found out it was our host!.. incredibly friendly and helpful in everything! Rooms are good, Oke shower and a very nice breakfast after the hike! -
We could here some people coming in late at night which interrupted our short sleep,. But most of the hotels/stays are not quiet so can’t blame it on this stay!
Large clean rooms with large bathrooms! Nice hot pressure water with a large bar of soap provided. Super friendly and helpful host who can answer any questions about hiking Sri Pada and transport logistics after. So so close to the start of the Sri Pada trail head. Delicious Sri Lankan and western breakfasts. Close to everything you need. Love the cute cat and fishes! I’m glad we stayed in Dalhousie, has a festive vibe because of the pilgrimage.
Nothing
breakfast is delicious. It is more than our expectations. rooms are spotless.
Hosts are so amazing! I spent a night there before sunrise hike and for the hike there was packages food waiting for me outside at 3am, then after coming they served me HUGE delicious breakfast. Room is very spacious and clean, water during shower is boiling hot. 2min walking to the entrance of the trail. Would stay here again for sure!
Had an amazing stay! Perfect location, very close to the Sripadaya hike. The staff were super friendly and extremely supportive. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety, and the room was comfortable. Highly recommend this place for a memorable and relaxing experience!
Great location, super lovely and helpful host, and amazingggg breakfasts!
Clean and comfortable. Great location to get up and walk Adam’s peak. Breakfast was one of the best we had! Great value for money, would stay again!
This place has everything you need to clim Adam's peak. Room is perfectly clean, dry + HAS TRULY HOT SHOWER (that is an expection in secluded areas such as this in my experience) Guy maintaining the place is extremely friendly - show you the path to Adam's peak, borows flashlight if you need one, give you hot tea on arrival. I could go on and on. Incredible value for money.
Very nice staff! They provided us with raincoats and a flashlight for our hike to Adam’s peak. The breakfast after was amazing.
Everything was good, great facility and breakfast just the informations for taking the bus was not very clear when i asked them and they were not always available but apart from that they were nice
Really good room to go to Adam's Peak. You can start de route walking. Best breakfast we had in all Sri Lanka trip, comfortable bed and hot water shower.
Amazing helpful host, nice breakfast and very convenient location for the Adam’s peak hike
Near to Sri Pada. Comfortable bed and delicious breakfast
Great location- very clean and comfortable.
It would be helpful if a sign was placed on the guesthouse so finding the property would be easier.
Located very central in de heart of the little village, close to the entrance of the Adam’s Peak trail. We were warmly greeted with some tea and sweets. The room was very simple but clean, the bathroom more or less the same and there was hot water. Breakfast was served after the hike and contained tea, egg sandwich, juice, fruit, hoppers and toast. The host showed us around a little and helped us with bus and train for the next day. It’s a good and cheap option for one night to hike Adam’s Peak in the morning.
Perfect location to start the climb up to adams peak. The breakfast was really great after the hike. The host was very friendly.
The property was very close to the start of the Adams peak trail. There was bottled water for sale and we received tea on arrival and a great breakfast on departure. There was fairly good hot water and clean linen.
Not a lot of natural light in the room and there was not a fan in our room. I would suggest requesting a standing fan.
The location was perfect to go to Adam's Peak, and the host was very friendly and helpful. We got free juice and sweets on arrival as well as departure. It is raining a lot in this area, therefore the air humidity is almost always very high, inside and outside, so everything gets damp, however this is the climate there, and the rooms were nicely aired and prepared before our arrival, so no problem. I recommend this location.
Attentively staff, comfy bed, near start to walk for Adams Peak, good breakfast.
No terrace, garden, view as advertised. Very poor WiFi. Room a bit damp, but prob due to 3 weeks rain.
Perfect location for doing the sunrise hike to the Adams Peak. The owner is very friendly and puts a lot of effort in aranging everything for his guests. He even prepared us a breakfast package, when we had to leave at 5 in the morning the second day. Beds are comfortable and the breakfast was very delicous and a lot.
Breakfast was amazing and very large - lots of options to choose from after a hike up Sri Pada!
The location was a bit tricky to find, but we only had to ask one person for help and we found it right after that.
- Very close to the beginning of the "Hatton Road" Adams Peak trail, but a bit hard to find - Friendly staff - Good and big breakfast with eggs, toast, roti, butter, jam, fresh fruits and pancakes - Adaptors for power plugs in the room - Hot shower
- A lot of mold all over the room and the bathroom - Extremely persistent stench of mold/petroleum in the room and bathroom made it almost impossible to sleep. We had to open the window to be able to finally get some poor sleep but were happy to get up at 1.45am for the trail, despite waking up with a headache. The couple in the room next to us complained about the same issue.
Very helpful host and very generous dinner portions set us up for the morning hike.
The window in the bedroom was broken so lots of little bugs were getting in.
It is close to the Srí pada starting point. The dinner was excellent!
I had a great stay at Lavendra Guest House. The staff was super friendly an I had a heartly welcome. Great breakfast and clean room. I will recommend this place.
Ideal Location for tracking on the Adams Peak Large portions of breakfast Helpful personal
Somewhat hard to find It might be temporary, but some prayer was shouting through megaphones, the noise insulation is almost inexistent.
It’s right next to the start of Sri Pada and it has a great host!! Nice breakfast and a lot of good tips.
In low season a lot of stores and restaurants are closed.
Such nice and accommodating
Staff was super. We went there to go to Adams Peak in the night and so they gave us some complementary tea and food (samosas) in the evening. Breakfast the day after the trekking was just a relief. Varied and in abundance. Hot showers, clean and comfortable. Very good position. Late checkout let us sleep a couple of hours in the morning before leaving.
Nothing. All good.
Great place to stay, clean and very comfortable rooms, large bathroom, close to the start of the trail. Owner is very friendly and helpful, and the stay was great value for money since it was so cheap.
location
couldnt manage the hot water machine
Perfect accomodation if you want to visit Adams Peak. After arrival we got tea and tasty rolls. Then the owner showed us where the road to Adam's peak starts. The owner also gave us avocado from his garden. We asked if ist possible to pack breakfast which we can take to Adams peak. The owner prepared hot eggs toasts at 2am for us. After we came back from Adams peak he prepared another huge and really delicious breakfast for us. We didnt expect breakfast when we got the first one packed. But it was one of the best breakfast in Sri Lanka. Totally worth it. Great accomodation with nice owner and delicious breakfast. Thank you
Amazing comfy, warm room, hot water. The NICEST host!! Very fair price, close to hike trail
perfect stay for the Adams Peak Hike! We got a great dinner and breakfast as well as good tea! The hosts are super cute and really helpful, they provided lamps for the hike as well! would recommend this place!
Comfortable, very clean room with superfriendly owners! You don’t stay in their house but in a new separate building for their guests. Delicious diner and breakfast, actually the most extended we had 😊 and, the location is perfect as it is at the starting point to Adam’s peak.
Perfect starting point to climb to Adam's Peak. The best time to go is Dec-May to see it at its best, the rest of the year is still a good climb. The owner was great, he walked me around the village to show me the shops, places to eat, and the starting point to Adam's Peak. The breakfast provided is great. If you hike early for the sunrise, then this is perfect for when you get back. They also provide very powerful torches if needed. Helpful with local bus times too. 👍
I had such an amazing experience at the family homestay! The people were wonderful, and the atmosphere was cozy. Although it was a bit challenging to find the guest house due to the lack of signs, it's actually located right next to the Nallathanniya Buddha Statue. If you have trouble finding it, just ask the friendly folks at Mountain Villa Adam's Peak. They serve delicious meals, and it's the perfect place to stay if you're planning to hike Adam's Peak.

3 minute walk to the start of the hike Very helpful staff Nice clean private room with bathroom

Very good location to hike Adam's Peak. Room was nice and bed was comfortable.
On the off-season the whole town and hotel were a ghost town. Had to wait 30 Minutes until the host came to open the rooms for us. The post said that breakfast was available, however, when asked they said they had no breakfast. The shower had no hot water.
One of the best stays of our trip! The room was very, very clean, it had a mosquito net, warm water and the best wifi we've had in Sri Lanka (once it was working) due to fiber connection. The owner was very friendly and let us check out late for free after our Adam's Peak climb. Also really delicious breakfast :)
Really kind and welcoming host. Location is perfect for Adam's peak trail. Comfortable bed, spacious room and bathroom. Shower had only cold water which was alright at the time cause of warm weather. Only minus goes for ants that were in the bathroom and shower area at the time of departure
On arrival, Marshee (sorry if I have spelt this wrong!) Greeted us with a beautiful pot of tea and biscuits. We were shown our room and talked about setting off times for climbing Adams peak. Marshee was very helpful, chatty and friendly. We then again met Marshee after our hike at about 9am where we got the most beautiful breakfast. Super delicious and exactly what we needed. The room was comfortable and the mosquito net helps for a restful sleep.
We couldn't get heat from the shower but it's not an issue in this hot weather!
The location is perfect to start the hike to Adam's peak. The breakfast is huge and very tasty. The family is super friendly and helpful. They even prepared a sandwich for me to take to Adam's Peak. And there is a welcome tea. Thank you very much!
Everything was good :)
Perfect to start the Adams peak hike, directly at the starting point. Delicious breakfast and super friendly hosts.
Hot easy to find, a sign would be helpful.
It is closest to the Sri Pada trail. Shops open outside day n night. Host most welcoming , food and service very good.
The place is difficult to find . No English language Name board outside identifying Lavendra hotel.. As you're coming down hill turn right before the big standing buddha. First driveway on the left side of parking area.
Great location (right next to the start of the trail), amazing and friendly host, incredible tasty breakfast, hot shower.
Nothing
Amazing stay!! Such a friendly family and great location for vlimbing Adams peak ! The breakfast was incredible, a definite highlight for us. Thanks
