Sincere Wilderness Home stay

Romeni and her family made us feel like part of the family during our stay. We did a fantastic hike with her father around the surrounding tea fields in the area. By far one of the best places we have stayed in Sri Lanka!

extrem nette Familie, das beste selbstgekochte Essen, tolle Fürhung durch die Teeplantagen und Wald durch den Vater der Gastgeberin

es war eher kalt in der Nacht, man brauchte Wärmflacshen, sehr einfache Unterkunft

The view

No thing

The host was very nice, the breakfast in the kitchen, prepared by the family was one of the best we had in Sri Lanka. The view over Nuwara Eliya was fantastic. Very good bed with lots of blankets, which we also needed when we were there :)

Piccola casetta in legno con vista pazzesca, uno dei posti più belli in cui abbiamo soggiornato in Sri Lanka. Curata in ogni dettaglio e molto pulita. Romeni e la sua famiglia sono le persone più calorose e accoglienti che abbia mai incontrato, ci hanno accolto come fossimo di famiglia, ci hanno preparato una cena deliziosa e due box per la colazione da portare in viaggio.

Amazing stay! We loved the cottage, it was clean, comfortable and really well located. The view was also amazing. The food was delicious, we had breakfast and dinner there everyday, and every meal was really good! They also help us with a tuktuk pick up from the station and arranged a tour for us for a great price.

- fantastic view from the balcony overlooking the city - best Sri Lankan food we had during our 1 month vacation! Home-cooked meals as if you celebrate Christmas at your grandma‘s: plenty of food and a great variety. Also breakfast was very nicely adapted to our European taste with Sri Lankan touch - Incredibly kind family who took us in as if we were part of them. They are very respectful & helpful. - they organised a Tuktuk driver from the train station in Nani oya for just 1500rupees Thank you for this amazing stay! We will be back for sure

Melisha our hostess was extremely warm, friendly and always making sure we were comfortable. Her breakfast was outstanding, plentiful and delicious. The views from this homestay were exceptional looking over Nuwara Eliya.We were sad to leave Melisha, her family and the wonderful hospitality. Suggestions and assistance with exploring places of interest were great and appreciated.

N/A

Excellent accueil par la famille et excellent dîner et petit déjeuner. Emplacement avec super vue. Rando géniale dans les plantations de thé, dans la forêt et dans le village le plus haut du Sri Lanka en compagnie de notre hôte.

Sehr nette Gastgeber und super leckeres Srilankesisches Essen, die Aussicht, Charme der Unterkunft

Ausbaustandard nicht so gut, je nach Wetter recht kühl

Siamo stati ospiti di Romeni per una notte, l'accoglienza è stata fantastica. La stanza comoda e fornita di tutto il necessario, pulita. Colazione ottima e abbondante.

Hartelijk ontvangst, heerlijk eten zowel ontbijt als avond eten. Helaas geen wandeling met de vader voor ons ivm slecht weer, maar er werd meegedacht aan een alternatieve daginvulling. Taxi was er een uur later, hele leuke dag met wandeling naar waterval. Mooie ruimtes, vooral het chalet is ruim.

Bij slecht weer is her wat koud binnen, dus neem warme kleding mee.

Un lugar excelente. Una familia encantadora que te ayuda en todo. Una casa típica esrilanquesa que invita a relajarse y estar en contacto con gente local. A 5 minutos en tuk tuk del centro. Repetiríamos!

Wir hatten zwar einen Stark-Regentag erwischt, sodass wir die tolle Aussicht auf die Umgebung leider gar nicht richtig erleben konnten. Die Gastgeberin hat aber alles dafür getan, uns alles so angenehm wie möglich zu machen, inklusive Wärmflasche. Das Abendessen war einfach fantastisch. Schade, dass wir wegen des Wetters auf den Walk mit dem Vater verzichten mussten, da die Umgebung sehr idyllisch schien. Wir können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen.

The host was very nice and welcomed us in her house for the homemade breakfast - which was excellent.

It was a little cold and there wasn’t any heater, however the blankets were more than enough for the night.

Wir hatten ein süßes, kleines Häuschen mit Terasse über der Stadt für uns und die Stadt war super zu Fuß zu erreichen. Das Frühstück von Romeni war fantastisch, die ganze Familie war sehr nett und der Vater hat eine tolle Wanderung durch Berge angeboten und konnten uns vieles zeigen und erklären. Danke für den schönen Aufenthalt.

Wir hatten 2 tolle Nächte hier. Es war kälter als erwartet, aber es gab eine Wärmflasche und viele Wolldecken. Die Gastfreundlichkeit war super, wir haben Tee bekommen, Unterstützung bei der Buchung von Zugtickets als wir Probleme hatten,gute Tipps für die Umgebung und ein umwerfendes Abendgericht sowie Frühstück bekommen. Sehr liebenswerte Familie +Hund. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen!

We loved the 'chalet', very comfortable for a family of 4. Romeni prepared a delicious rice and curry, and the breakfast were fabulous as well. Romeni's dad brought us for a 4h walk from the guest house through the forest and tea plantations, so nice. So keep going, we enjoyed a lot.

Nothing

It was an incredible experience to be their guests. The breakfast and dinner cooked by the family was the best we had in all of our time in Sri Lanka. The room is also great and has amazin views while only 10-15 mins walking to the city centre. We also had a guided trek through the mountains and plantations where we learned a lot. Could not recommend it enough :)

Best place ever.

Supervriendelijke en gastvrije familie! Ontbijt en avondeten in de keuken terwijl de moeder het eten bereidt. Unieke ervaring 😁 Wandeling gedaan met haar vader. Was een flink stuk, maar zeker de moeite waard.

Bij ons in juli was het verrassend fris. Geen probleem, maar goed om rekening mee te houden. Wel fijn tijdens de wandeling.

Die Gastgeber waren sehr liebenswert es wurde hervorragend gekocht und sie waren sehr hilfsbereit. Die Tochter hat sich um uns sehr gut gekümmert wir haben sie sehr geschätzt. Mit dem Vater der Tochter haben wir eine vier stündige Wanderung gemacht es war sehr interessant er kennt sich sehr gut aus in der Welt der Pflanzen. Der Aufenthalt ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Romeni nous a accueilli comme des amis vous accueillent dans leur maison. Le logement est très propre et ravissant, et surplombe la ville. Nous avons eu mauvais temps mais entre les nuages on pouvais entrevoir la vue magnifique. Le lendemain nous sommes parti a 5h30, et son mari et elle nous avaient fraichement préparé de délicieux petits déjeuners a l'emporter. Et surtout, nous conseillons de manger le dîner! Nous avons eu droit a un repas de rois! Et tout cela avec un enfant de 7 mois! Romeni, merci infiniment pour cet accueil! Ça restera un des très beau moment de notre voyage!

Vous êtes a 1800m de dénivelé : il peut faire frais en soirée. Pensez a prendre un pull et des chaussettes!

On a aimé l'accueil, la gentillesse et le dévouement de nos hôtes, la chambre était tres propre et tres bien équipée, et le repas ainsi que le petit déjeuner étaient succulent et copieux......vraiment je recommande sans hésitation....

Rien

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into the family by Romeni and her parents with big hugs on arrival. Communication with Romeni was excellent. This homestay is a little gem. The views are breathtaking. You can easily walk in to town but we chose to get a tuktuk back as we were tired after a long day. We had the best meal of our stay in the evening prepared by Romeni’s mother. What an experience. Romeni arranged a tuktuk for our early start to the train station and helped us change our plans as the train line has opened more since we booked our tickets. Comfy bed, spacious room, amazing view and the best hospitality! Thank you.

It was all excellent and as described.

We had a great time at this cute property. It felt like being in a pretty cottage back in the UK! We were there in June and it was quite cold in Nuwara Eliya, so be prepared with some warm layers to wear even indoors. Romeni was very kind and offered a hot water bottle to help keep me warm. The highlight was the food! The food was so delicious that we stayed in for dinner on both nights. We even asked if they could teach us how to cook some of the dishes and they very kindly did. We are very grateful for this because the food was truly outstanding… some of the best we’ve had in all of Sri Lanka. Thank you very much for your warm and attentive hospitality!

Romeni is een heel aardige en behulpzame eigenaresse. Samen met haar moeder heeft zij heerlijk voor ons gekookt. De ontbijten waren ook erg lekker. Vanuit het chalet heb je prachtig uitzicht op Nuwara Eliya. Je bent in 10 minuten lopen in het centrum. Het chalet is knus ingericht en Romeni zorgt voor dekens en een kruik als je het koud hebt. Ga zeker mee met de wandeling van haar vader Lal, als je daar tijd voor hebt! Je loopt door de jungle en over de theeplantages met prachtige uitzichten. Wij vonden de hond ook erg leuk!

Niets.

Supernette Hosts, die bei allen reiseorganisatorischen Fragen weitergeholfen haben. Exzellentes Sri Lankisches Frühstück und Abendessen, schön gestaltete Unterkunft mit großem Bad und wunderschöner Aussicht vom Balkon auf Nuwara Eliya.

Es fehlte ein Schrank, in den man das Gepäck hätte verstauen können. Tisch und Stühle bieten zwar Ablagefläche, aber das Zimmer sah im Nu sehr unaufgeräumt aus.

Staying here really makes you feel like being a part of the family. Starting from the warm hugs as a greeting from the aunty to the best food we had on our trip and great recommendations for a guide to take us around the tea plantations and surroundings we could not have been happier staying here.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans ce homestay. Les propriétaires sont adorables et leurs animaux trop mignons. Le logement est très confortable, avec une petite terrasse sympathique. Et les petits déjeuner étaient excellents. Enfin, nous avons pu faire une jolie balade avec le Papa autour de Nuwara Eliya (en supplément). Merci pour ce beau séjour !

Sehr freundliche, authentische Gastgeber, ein echter home stay

Very comfortable

De maaltijden die ze voor ons kookten! Superlekker !!!

Niks eigenlijk

I loved how spacious the cottages was, but cosy at the same time. The balcony and the view is amazing and if you set an early alarm you will have a pretty sunrise. Moreover the hosts are very kind and helpfull I would have loved to stay here longer to be able to do a hike they suggested! Also they helped me out with fixing my transport to my next destination. Both the dinner and breakfast were lovely, I felt very at home! Thankyou!!

It is a short walk to get to the city centre, not a problem for me. But at night maybe less comfortable. The hosts can serve diner so I eat at there place, but if you check they can probably help you out with tuk tuk.

I stayed at both the places what they had ! The one with queen sized bed , had really high ceiling and splendid view from the balcony and was really spacious, and the next one was the chalet which also had huge space. Both were really nice with splendid views and comfortable.

Nothing as such

Sincere wilderness was sincerely one of the best places I have stayed in my 4 months in Sri Lanka (I extend my booking twice). The rooms are super cozy and comfortable, the view from the balcony over Nuwara Eliya is amazing. Aunty grace cooks the best Sri Lankan food you will have, I tried soo many new different dishes over my stay. Uncle Lal is a brilliant man full of wisdom, I had learned an abundance about Sri Lanka’s nature, history and culture, if you have the blessing to do a hike with him you should! He’s knowledge on botany is vast and inspiring. Romeni is the best host, she will ensure you have an amazing time and help you with whatever needs be. If you want a true Sri Lankan home stay experience, then you should book here. Love Luca ❤️

Seems like best place in Nuwara eliya as we can have a great view of almost all the city from the room top. Great hospitality, great food.

Everything! From the warm welcome to the home cooked dinner and stunning views. Romeni made sure our stay was perfect. Best place we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka.

Ägaren var väldigt gästvänlig och smidig. Erbjöd sig att göra både middag och frukost till oss. Mysigt boende som var välstädat.

We had a lovely time here Lovely hosts, if you’re offered a guided walk with Lal I would definitely recommend Great breakfast Steep walk from town but still close Lovely comfy, cozy bed BEAUTIFUL view Shower warm and strong enough

Tolles Zimmer und Familienanschluss in den Bergen

We loved our stay here and will be returning for sure. The room we were given had everything we needed and was super clean, plus a beautiful view from the balcony. It is quite cold in Nuwara Eliya but there were plenty of blankets provided. The family is so lovely and really made us feel like a part of it. We enjoyed one dinner with them and two breakfasts, all were amazing local food cooked with fresh ingredients. Just delicious!! On our second day, we went on a hike with Romeni's father, who is a very kind man who told us lots about the tea fields, the local wildlife and anything else we wanted to know about the Nuwara Eliya's beautiful nature. They all really went above and beyond for us and made our trip so special. It is also a really quick walk into town, just follow the signs. Thank you so much for having us, I would recommend this to any couple or solo traveler. It is such a gem here and you will have an amazing time.

Wish we stayed longer

Mycket hjälpsam och trevlig värdfamilj. En fantastisk balkong med utsikt över Nuwara Eliya. Och mycket prisvärt!

Lite svajigt wifi som bara fungerade ibland.

Excellent accueil familial, d'une très grande hospitalité. Le logement est très agréable et bien situé, sur les hauteurs de Nuwara Eliya. Superbe vue, 15 minutes à pied du centre. Très bien pour découvrir la ville et au calme. Je vous recommande de diner sur place. Parmi les meilleurs rice and curry de notre voyage ! Superbe cuisine familiale.

Wir wurden herzlich von der Familie empfangen und bekamen einen Krug Tee und Kekse. Wir haben den Balkon extrem genossen - die Aussicht auf die Stadt war super! Das Abendessen und das Frühstück waren lecker. Teilweise etwas viel Salz für unseren Geschmack. Auf individuelle Wünsche sind sie eingegangen. Das Zimmer war sauber und gemütlich. Es gab heisses Wasser, einen Wasserkocher, Sitzgelegenheiten und eine Wärmeflasche. Wir fanden die Lage am sonnigen Hang gut. Man sollte aber beachten, dass es mind. 20 min Fussweg sind vom Zentrum.

1000.- Rs. pro kg für den Wäscheservice mit Maschine finden wir zu teuer.

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit. Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber , gute Lage, Melisha und ihre Familie waren sehr freundlich, leckerste Essen Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Von der Familie hatten wir viele Möglichkeiten für ein Unternehmungsprogramm bekommen. Wir waren mit ihrem Vater wandern. Es war herrlich durch die Teeplantagen und Dschungel zu wandern. Am nächsten Tag hatten wir einen Tuk Tuk der uns viele Orte in Nuwara Eliya und Umgebung gezeigt hat. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit!

A gorgeous home stay with stunning views, warm and cosy and a comfortable bed. Romeni was so friendly and welcoming explaining the easy walking route to the town. We had a delicious Sri Lankan curry for dinner prepared by Romeni and her mum. We wish we could have stayed longer

We loved everything about our stay at Sincere Wilderness! The room was very comfortable - it got cold at night but we were given many blankets and a hot water bottle. Romeni and her family were so welcoming. We had dinner in their kitchen on both nights of our stay which was so delicious! The hike with Romeni’s dad was the highlight of our trip!!

We had a lovely stay at sincere wilderness! It was a very cosy and homely property and Romeni was extremely hospitable. The property is a little outside of the center which meant for a bit of a walk but the views from the balcony definitely make that worth it. We were given a delicious breakfast the next day.

This was a fantastic homestay run by a very nice family. The room was large and well decorated. The views from the porch are unbeatable. I had both breakfast and dinner here, which were prepared by the family and served in their own kitchen. It was a wonderful experience. The location is set above the town so it takes 10-15 of walking to reach the center, but the trade off is the amazing views and peaceful environment. Highly recommend to stay here!

Das Essen war ohne zu übertreiben das beste, was wir bisher in Sri Lanka gegessen haben. Wenn ihr abends dort seid fragt ob ihr Rice & Curry bekommt! Romeni und ihre Familie waren zudem super freundlich und haben uns gut aufgenommen. Wir waren leider nur eine Nacht dort, aber wenn wir mehr Zeit gehabt hätten, hätten wir gerne noch eine Wanderung unternommen!

Etwas abgelegen vom Zentrum, falls man nicht so mobil ist.

La habitacion es muy linda con vistas a la ciudad. Pero lo mejor es la amabilidad de Romeni, su madre y su marido. Tienes opcion de cena en la habitacion y el desayuno en casa de Romeni. Ella es súper atenta y servicial. Lo reconiendo.

Fuimos un dia en el que hacia frío y es verdad que en la habitacion hace humedad del frio del propio ambiente. En nuestro caso, Romeni nos puso muchas mantas y bolsa de agua caliente, por lo que no necesitamos mas. La habitacion tambien tenia chinenea que supongo que la encenderan en dias mas frios. Por lo demas, muy recomendable.

The family who owns the cottage are extremely friendly and welcoming. They provide an amazing dining option with traditional Sri Lankan food as well as breakfast, also gluten free options as my partner has a gluten intolerance. We had an amazing hiking tour around the village provided by them. It felt like home. Wonderful stay! I wish all the best to this amazing family!

Increíble amabilidad de Romanie y si madre

L’hospitalitat de la familia i l’ambient de muntanya que s’hi respira. El menjar estava boníssim

Het regende en waaide hard en het was 15C. Er was geen verwarming dus al onze nat geregende kleding bleef kletsnat, daarom zijn we na een al nacht vertrokken. Gelukkig kregen we wel extra dekens.

The property is a lovely family home just outside the centre of Nuwara Eliya with a beautiful view of the town from the window. The room was spacious and very cosy, as it is a little cold and damp there, but they provide plenty of blankets. We had breakfast and dinner there, and the food was plentiful and absolutely delicious so would recommend this. They provide options for daytime activities including hikes and tuktuk tours, and if you are here for longer then you have options to go further afield for hikes. The hosts were extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and picked us up from the station and dropped us off again. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy a traditional Sri Lankan experience, and who enjoys outdoor activities and Sri Lankan food. Nuwara Eliya is a must see destination if you are travelling Sri Lanka!

There are no toiletries other than soap, so make sure you bring your own, and also bring warm layers for the evenings!

L’ambiance chaleureuse, l’aspect « cottage » de l’établissement, sa localisation proche du centre-ville de Nuwara Eliya, la gentillesse de Romeni et sa famille, le dîner et le petit-déjeuner qui étaient délicieux

Das Homestay liegt auf einem Berg mit einer wunderschönen Aussicht über Nuwara Eliya. Die Hosts sind super lieb und haben uns herzlich aufgenommen. Wir haben uns direkt wohl und fast wie ein Teil der Familie gefühlt. Das Frühstück war mit das beste was wir nach fast 2 Wochen Sri Lanka hatten und das Abendessen auch. Wir können sehr empfehlen es an einem Abend zu essen. Sie haben sich um eine Abholung zu einem günstigen Preis vom Bahnhof in Nanuoya, eine Tour durch die Umgebung und auch den Rücktransport nach Nanuoya gekümmert. Die Tour können wir ebenfalls sehr empfehlen.

Es ist im Zimmer, vor allem Abends, schon ein bisschen kalt. Es gab aber sehr dicke Decken und eine extra Wärmflasche, wodurch es für uns auch kein Problem und sogar eher schön kuschelig war.

Vue incroyable sur toute la ville depuis la chambre qui était spacieuse et propre. Gros point positif pour la nourriture, nous avons diné la bas, dans la cuisine familiale et c’était notre meilleur repas au Sri Lanka !

Struttura accogliente e ottima connessione Wi-Fi. Cena e colazioni veramente buone. La disponibilità dei proprietari che ci hanno aiutato nel cercare le medicine per il mio compagno che stava male

Nulla

La proprietaria è stata gentilissima dal primo momento offrendoci una buona tazza di tè. È stata attenta ad ogni necessità avevamo. La cena cucinata da lei è stata buonissima e lo stesso direi per la colazione.

Era un po' fredda la casa ma la proprietaria ci ha donato la borsa dell' acqua calda per scaldarci. Un gesto molto apprezzato.

A nice spacious appartment with a bedroom on the first floor. Hosts are a kind and welcoming family. They were very helpful and made us a great Sri Lankan dinner.

Séjour exceptionnel dans cette adorable famille. Logements pleins de charme et accueil parfait. La famille habite la maison à un étage séparé et se montre toujours disponible sans s'imposer ce qui est très appréciable. Les repas étaient tout simplement excellents (les meilleurs de notre séjour au Sri Lanka). Tout est fait maison jusqu'aux épices ou confitures. Une mention spéciale pour le père, botaniste de formation, et qui nous a emmenés faire une randonnée sur les hauteurs de la ville nous permettant de découvrir le jungle, des plantations de légumes, des plantations de thé ainsi que de nombreux animaux. Sans aucun doute la plus belle randonnée que nous ayons pu faire sur l'île.

Être comme en famille tout en gardant son autonomie L accueil, la gentillesse, la cuisine( waouh ) et la balade (. Même sous la pluie , c etait top ) Bref , je recommande ++++ cette adresse

Rien

We highly recommend this home stay! Romeni, Grace, Lal and the other family members are extremely welcoming and helpful. Our room was gorgeous, very spacious with a private bath (even hot water!) and absolutely amazing views down into the valley. When we arrived, bear monkeys were climbing around in the trees next door. The food is amazing and of a great variety. We also highly recommend Lal's nature tour that leads you in a circle around the valley through forests and tree plantations. We saw birds, reptiles and amphibians. Lal is extremely knowledgeable and has fantastic books regarding the fauna, too. The town centre is a pleasant 15 minute stroll by foot away. We stayed five nights and were extremely pleased we had found this gem of a place.

Everything was great. Just remember to bring a sweater, it's cold in the hills ( but warm water bottles and a kettle are provided, too)!

L’accueil chaleureux de la famille, la taille de l’appartement, la situation sur les hauteurs et à quelques minutes à pied par un petit chemin entre les maisons. Trés bon rapport qualité prix ! Mes enfants ont aussi vraiment apprécié… de jolies attentions… comme une bouillotte pour mettre dans le lit s’il fait frais! Je recommande cette guet housse..

Alles klopt wat er is geschreven, voor ons een fijne homestay voor een nacht op doorreis! Heerlijk gegeten, lieve mensen en huisdieren! Schattig huisje en inderdaad een beetje koud in de avond. Lekker vroeg onder de dikke dekens en warme douche en kruik aanwezig!

Very friendly host, very delicious food, very clean room. Top!

Beautiful homestay, very nice family. They are easily reachable through whatsapp. They can arrange pick up from the train station, give tios what to see around, arrange tuktuk. They prepare delicious breakfast, I also had dinner hete, very tasty! Nuwara Eliya can get cold, so bring some warm clothes. The family provides thick blankets, hot water bottle for the night. Do not hesitate, come and stay here!

The whole family welcomed me like an honored guest. I enjoyed delicious homemade Sri Lankan food at breakfast and evening dinner. The highlight of my visit was a 13 km guided hike up and down the forests and tea planatations surrounding the town.

This place exceeded our expectations. The view from the window and balcony is absolutely breathtaking and perfect for relaxing. Breakfasts are generous and delicious, prepared with great care and attention to detail. The room has everything you need for a comfortable stay – a kettle, tea, hairdryer, and more. There’s also convenient laundry service available on-site. The hosts are incredibly kind, helpful, and always open for a friendly conversation, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A perfect place to relax and enjoy a unique and peaceful setting.

We had such a lovely stay here! We arrived late in the evening and were welcomed by Romeni and her husband. She asked if we would like some curry and rice on arrival… Which turned out to be one of the best meals I’ve ever had! A selection of five Sri Lankan dishes and dessert, all home cooked by her mum Grace. Our room was cosy and had spectacular views over Nuwara Eliya.

Shower pressure a bit low but not a big issue! Got a bit cold at night, but plenty of blankets were provided.

Romeni and her family were the kindest and most welcoming of hosts. They instantly made us feel at home and went above and beyond to help us during our trip. Their home is wonderful, such a lovely space, amazing food cooked by her mother and options to take a wonderful tour of the area with her father. The perfect place to stay, we can not thank them enough for their kindness.

Lovely elevated position with great views (although quite far from the centre and a little difficult to reach by minivan), super cosy/ cute little house - feels like a home from home. Lovely host family cooked us the most exceptional meal of our trip - some really amazing dishes. Adorable cat called Charlie so our kids want to come back!

We had two nights staying in the cosy cottage. The family are very welcoming and happy to help with organising trips, pick up from the station etc and communication was excellent. We had dinner cooked by Romeni and her Mother and the food was amazing. We also went on a hike with Romani’s father as recommended by others. He is extremely knowledgeable about all the plants and wildlife and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We would highly recommend a stay here.

As advised by others, the stairs up to the bedroom could be tricky for some.

A wonderful and super clean cottage…spacious for a couple with enough room for a family of four (extra single bed in the bedroom and a couch in the main area). I particularly liked the sitting area with its table and chairs from which you could overlook town. There is also a roomy balcony, large fridge, kettle, hot shower, and excellent internet. I also recommend having the home-cooked meals. The hosts are lovely and spoke very good English which is particularly helpful in arranging tuk tuks and such although the walk into town is very doable, it would take at least 20 minutes.

A sweet cottage tucked away above the town with the most welcoming hosts. We were looked after so well. If you ask in advance, Rameni's mother cooks some of the best curry and rice we've had (low on heat to accommodate our 12yr old's tastes). They gave the girls hot water bottles for bedtime and helped us with tuktuks to get into town. A heartfelt home from home with great views and great hosts

We liked everything. The guesthouse is beautifully located at the top of the hill, with view on the city and on the surrounding valleys. The room was cozy and cleaned. Romeni welcomed us with a cup of tea, some biscuits and bananas and prepared us a wonderful traditional dinner in their kitchen. The father of Romeni brought us to a 5-hour hiking on the mountains and all along the valleys through the tea plantations, which has been honestly the highlight of our trip to Nuwara Eliya. He is so passionate about nature and wildlife... It has been a pleasure to spend some time with him. All the family is genuinely super kind and helpful. We will come back for sure in the future and we will cherish these memories forever.

Nothing. Everything was perfect to us

Amazing hosts Romani and her mum Grace make you feel at home in their home. Also cook amazing food and speak great English so can help you with any questions or organising tuk tuks. Thank you

Nothing for us but if have mobility issues might not be suitable in chalet due to steps.

Super nice family, make sure to have dinner the food is very nice And the cottage is really cosy

The family that runs this property are so friendly and hospitable. They tried to make us feel at home as much as possible! -the breakfast was delicious and plentiful - very quiet! No road noise or tuk tuks or anything. - shower curtain in the bathrooms so everything doesn’t get wet. - good wifi for Sri Lanka :)

- everything was great! For the double room, everything was perfect but if booking the chalet, note that the family does live downstairs. While they are quiet in going about their activities and go to sleep early, you can hear everything through the door that leads to their home. If you are concerned by this type of noise, then I would book the double room instead!

Super friendly and genuine family with big hearts. Very cute and clean space. Lovely food.

A little bit loud between the rental and the hosts private space if you are sensitive to noice. No problem for us but good to know.

Everything was lovely, you’ll feel at home right away with delicious meals and beautiful surroundings. The place is really calm and the dad will take you on the nicest hike to discover the surrounding forest, tea plantations and history of the place. I even had a warm water bottle and 3 types of homemade rice and curry waiting for me in my room as I arrived late.

We loved the place and the lady, Romeni, welcoming us in front of the house and warming us with the hug. Delicious traditional Sri Lankan food, fresh flowers in the house. The house itself was very cosy like from the fairy tale. We loved the stay and wished to stay longer.

The hosts were amazingly friendly and helpful. The food we had there was as good as any we've had in Sri Lanka. Far better than any restaurants!

Nothing. Nuwara Elia is as cold as it gets in Sri Lanka, so the mornings can be little chilly. However, English people like us are used to much colder mornings than this!

A lovely family who welcomed us into their home and cooked delicious meals. Really enjoyed the walk with the father, thank you.

Lal, Romeni, and Grace are amazing hosts! This is a fantastic homestay with an incredible breakfast. They also offer dinner on-site, which we highly recommend—definitely worth trying! The view is stunning, overlooking the valley and Nuwara Eliya, with a beautiful forest behind the property. Lal organizes trekking tours that are absolutely fantastic—highly recommended and worth planning into your stay. We would definitely come back and wish we could have stayed longer. Nothing negative to mention.

Nothing.

Fabulous stay in the loveliest of places with the loveliest of people. Dinner here is another level. I never usually ’eat in’, but if you don’t, you’ll be missing out on the best food in Sri Lanka. If it’s free, don’t hesitate to,just grab it!

Nothing. Everything was superb.

We had an amazing stay at Sincere Wilderness, the chalet was so comfy, hosts were very welcoming and kind, and the food was delicious! I booked this property because I read other positive reviews, and I can confirm that everything is true! 😊 Like others, we had dinner and breakfast, and it was the best food we have ate in Sri Lanka ❤️ Thank you for an amazing stay!

We loved everything!
