White House Bungalow Hatton

Staff and owners are very polite and cooperative

We stayed at White House Bungalow for four nights, and it was a truly pleasant experience. The location is excellent just a 5–7 minute drive from the city center, making it convenient while still offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The manager was very professional, friendly, and accommodating throughout our stay, which made us feel very welcome. The room we booked was exceptionally well maintained, clean, and comfortable, with a beautiful balcony view that we really enjoyed. Another great feature is the fully equipped and functional kitchen. It was a wonderful addition and gave us the comfort and convenience of feeling at home while being away from home. Overall, we had a lovely stay at White House Bungalow and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Hatton. A comfortable, clean, peaceful place with excellent hospitality!

Very clean place. Very refreshing to see.

Superb location for short stay Worthy for the money

Room and facilities are excellent for the money.

No good restaurants nearby. Also it was not possible to book a car. The tuk tuk arranged was not good enough for long distance travel.

The view was beautiful. The staff were attentive. They had a kitchen we could use. And it had parking!! Would love to have stayed here longer :)

Location, a short walk to town. View from room was amazing, as was the breakfast. Free use of kitchen was helpful. The owner was also friendly and helpful.

Bed was creaky so a little annoying at night.

A Large room with a large and comfortable bed, and a balcony with a fantastic view. Good service and a very good breakfast. Great value!

Amazing breakfast and the view from our room was fantastic

Beautiful views from the balcony. Also can walk to the pekoe trail from here! Owner was very friendly and bed comfortable.

A little bit noise from outside accom and corridor.

Very nice, spacious room with a balcony offering an amazing view over the tea plantations. Liked staying there. The owner is very nice and allowed me to store my backpack after checkout as I was exploring the surroundings before continuing my travels.

Good place to stay in Hatton, friendly owner and clean, comfy rooms.

Mein Zimmer war etwas hellhörig, aber ansonsten passt alles!

Big room, fantastic view over the tea plantations and hills, modern bathroom, host was super friendly too! He also arranged the transfer to Adams Peak for me :)

We had a really good night at the house. The bed was confortable and the shower has hot water. The view from the room was amazing ! Location is near to the center

The view

Didn't have credit and debit payments facility. The stay is tuked in and isolated from the town but close enough

We had a wonderful stay at White House Bungalow Hatton. The location is peaceful with beautiful surroundings, and the property is very clean and well maintained. Rooms are spacious, comfortable, and provide great value for money. The hospitality was excellent, making us feel truly welcome. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hatton!

We stayed here for a few days during our motorcycle trip through the hill country, and it turned out to be a good choice. The place is pretty new, so everything feels fresh and well looked after. Our room was big, clean, and the bed was perfectly comfy after long hours riding. The balcony was the absolute highlight – almost 270-degree views over mountains and endless tea plantations. We also liked chilling in the big common area with comfy sofas, great for relaxing or meeting other travelers. The guesthouse itself is peaceful and quiet, no road noise, just a really calm vibe. It’s also just a short walk into town, so grabbing food or buying small things was super easy. If you’re coming on a bike or car, don’t fully trust Google Maps – it tried to send us up a staircase, so better enter the road from the Railway Station side. Overall, it’s a solid spot for riders or anyone looking for a quiet base to explore the area.

The only small thing we missed was having a kettle in the common area to make a quick tea or coffee. I guess I could have asked the owner, but I didn’t want to bother.

Friendly host

A bit hard to find

Great location with beautiful view. Spacious rooms and lively owners!

Wifi could be better

This is an amazing place to stay at the lowest budget. The owner was an amazing person, and there is nothing to complain about. Love this place.

Great location and balcony views. Very friendly service . Perfect place to stay before doing Adam's peak

The owner is a champion, very helpful with organising everything for us. Nothing was too much trouble. We organised Adam's Peak walk from here. 5 minute walk into town. The rooms are amazing, very big and high quality. Lovely views off the balcony.

As a photographer, I like the view of Balcony. And also, Room facilities are very well.

Walking distance to Hatton town

Great Hospitality Provided,Highly Recommended.

Lovely host

I had a wonderful stay in this beautiful place in Hatan. The accommodation was lovely—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. What really made the experience special was how kind and generous the hosts were. They let us stay a little longer after checkout, which we really appreciated. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. I highly recommend this place and would definitely come back again. Thank you for such a great experience!

The host was really friendly and helpful. The room was really nice and with a scenery view. The balcony offers the option to enjoy a relaxing sunset time facing the mountains.

I had a great experience here! The owner was very friendly and helped me with my to-go dinner order and ordered a tuk tuk for me to go to the train station. Would come again!

Staff

Location, facilities

Great room, wonderful view. Staff were friendly and we had access to the kitchen to make tea. The coconut roti we had for breakfast were creamy and light and tasty. We walked half of the Pekoe trail stage 7 and the Hotel is in a good location to get off the trail at Hatton.

Water pressure and no WiFi.

Good location from the town centre, just a few minutes walk. Full kitchen to use if you need it. Help arrange a TukTuk for the Adams Peak trek and to the station. He let us check out late as our train wasn’t till 12:30. Very kind and helpful host. Big balcony with fantastic views of the green hills. Rooms were huge, clean and comfortable. I would recommend to anyone.

Nothing

The room was clean, spacious, with a balcony overlooking the.green hills, perfect for chilling..There is hot water in the shower, which is really nice in not so hot evening temperatures. The owner was really helpful and kind, he helped me.organise few trips and recommended a reliable ruk tuk driver and offered advice on things to/see and how to do it. I cannot recommend it enough!

Worth facilities and good view point, they provided all other facilities with best and clean room (dining room, kitchen with all equipments)

Nothing

The room and the bathroom is clean. Worth for the price.

The apartment is very spacious, clean and close to the bus stop and railway station. The owner is super nice and helpful. The view from the balcony is beautiful! I would recommend to stay here.

This place was incredible. Absolutely amazing. The facilities were firstly incredible. You could use the kitchen and they had free tea and coffee. The views are unbelievable and the owner and staff are so kind and lovely. You feel so safe there. We didn't leave the place for 2 days it was that nice.

Had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and equipped with all the necessary facilities. The hospitality was exceptional. For the price, it’s absolutely worth it!

One thing to note is that accessing the hotel by vehicle can be a bit challenging due to the narrow road and a sharp turn before the entrance.

We went there at early morning (4.00am ) they were readily available for facilitate us even at that time…we went to sripadha hike next day and they kept our bags safely there…even we didn’t book that day…and we came back after next day and they offer us water and ask to offer coffee and owner had a nice chat with us

Nothing was bad there

I can really recommend this place! I stayed in a super nice and extremely clean room with a balcony and beautiful view of the hills. Big bathroom with hot water shower. The staff was very helpful and helped me arrange a tuktuk to go to Adams Peak at night. I have nothing to complain about!

The owner was very friendly and helpful; rooms were clean and spacious so was the whole property. There are nice views towards the valley.

The neighborhood itself is at the outskirt of Hatton and is of a typical rural village.

The house is big and spacious and the room is quite big and has a large balcony and a lovely view into the mountains and the village. It was quiet. We stayed in Hatton to go to Adam’s Peak during the day. The location of the property is good, about 10 min walk to the train station. The manager was very friendly and helped us to arrange a tuk-tuk to go there and back. He also arranged our travel by car to Nuwara Eliya. The breakfast was lovely, with fruits. Very good value for money.

The roosters in the morning can be a bit loud but that’s just the natural village life. ☺️

The view of our room was amazing. The rooms are spacious and clean.

Hatton itself is very original, and thus not very tourist friendly but its still worth it!

We stayed 2 days at white house bungalow..The room was very clean and maintained.The location is superb and very calm, perfect for relaxation. One of the highlights was the stunning mountain view, which made the stay truly memorable. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their hospitality and attention to detail were exceptional.It is also within walking distance of the town, bus stand, market, and railway station Highly recommended to anyone 👌

We loved the space with the shared living room and enjoyed our balcony overlooking the tea plantations. We loved that we could use the kettle and mugs in the kitchen to make our own tea. Most of all we loved the privacy. A lot of places we have stayed in Sri Lanka always has someone hovering or in our space, convincing us to book tours. It was really nice that we were able to just have our own space without feeling pressured to book. We also loved the bathroom. It was one of the first bathrooms we had where the shower had glass that prevented the entire bathroom from getting wet. Local eateries were within walking distance.

Nothing

Very good atmosphere & view from this stay we love the staffs interaction

Good location for PEKOE trail hikers! Everything you need is present and very clean.

It's value for money with a great view. The staff is polite, helpful and friendly. Rooms are clean and spacious. It's a great place to stay.

The road for the hotel is not very clean. It's damaged and surrounded with garbage dumps. It's not the fault of the hotel actually.

THE ROOM WAS VERY BIG AND THE VIEW WAS BEAUTIFUL. ALL FACILITIES WERE CLEAN AND IN WORKING CONDITION. WE ENJOYED. ONLY THING THE LOCATION ROAD WAS NOT THAT GOOD.

LOCATION ROAD WAS NOT THAT GOOD. MISSING A CUPBOARD. IF A COOK COULD BE HIRED THEN YOU COULD RAISE YOUR RATES AND HAVE MORE CUSTOMERS SURELY.

Huge room with the mountain view. Walking distance to the center with plenty of shops and places to eat. Nice little town with local feel.

Friendly staff.Modern & clean

They didn’t have meals inside which we had to go out and buy.

Very kind people. Room was very clean, new, with AC and an amazing view where you can get a beautiful sunset.

Great room, amazing balcony view, polite staff.

As mentioned - garbage site on the road to the hotel, it attracts stray dogs.

It was our best accommodation in Sri Lanka so far! The room and bathroom were clean, the water warm, the view from the balcony spectacular. The bed was big and comfy as well. The host was very kind and hospitable, he helped us with renting the scooter, prepared very tasty breakfasts with fresh fruits and even checked on us after we left for the further travelling :) the contact was unproblematic, right after we arrived we were given the numbers (phone and WhatsApp) that we can contact anytime we need something.

Nothing, everything was great :)

Nice clean place and friendly staff, food was good with tasty. Town to hotel road very narrow that's only found, facilities all good

Road to the hotel

The room is beautiful, bright, clean, airy and spacious and offers a beautiful view over the tea plantations. If your focus is the room and room only, I'd give rate White House Bungalow with 10 stars. It's located in a very quiet area but not to far from the center. I met a few wonderful and helpful Sri Lankans in Hatton (tuktuk driver and families owning restaurants).

Update to my first review: The manager/care taker of the house, called Raj, has been fired, which changes my main critique of this B&B. I'm assuming the new manager is an honest and decent guy and therefore am changing my rating to 8 points. I did not trust the old manager, who was way over the top and dodgy at the same time. I might be misjudging though and if so, I'm sorry. You can walk to the center, but it's not the nicest and cleanest walk and also is not well lit at night. Hatton is very local and does not have many turists, therefore the choice of restaurants are very simple and local, but nevertheless good.

Large, spacious room with amazing view and balcony. Full sized shared kitchen and dining area. Raj was a friendly host who looked after us well. Breakfast is available for a fee.

Not many restaurants or shops nearby. No other meals offered.
