Sandathenna by Secret Leisure

Breakfast was delicious & worth enough for the paid amount. Room was cosy A quick responding friendly staff were there too

Had a trouble with worm water Little bit difficult to reach the location as the road is narrow

​An exceptional family-friendly stay! We stayed here with our kid and had a wonderful experience. The entire property was spotlessly clean, which gave us great peace of mind. What truly stood out was the staff—they were exceptionally warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. It’s hard to find a place that feels this comfortable and accommodating when traveling with little ones. Highly recommended for families!

Die Bilder stimmen nicht mit der Realität überein. Insbesondere die Lage. Das Hotel liegt nicht romantisch in einer Teeplantage, sondern ist umgeben von Müll und Ruinen.

Le personnel adorable et attentionné L’aspect cocooning de cet hôtel, confortable et familial.

Un peu loin du centre , la route pour y accéder un peu complexe

It was a very peaceful stay. Staff were sweet and helpful. Would recommend!

Very good

The view, the amenities, food, the staff and service all exceeds my expectations

Nothing

服务热情周到，早餐特别棒，并把早餐端到你所在楼层的餐厅。性价比高。

Located in such a remote place..

Location is way too remote… facilities are poor quality…. The street dogs were barking the whole night… not worth the drive to the place and money paid for the place. But staff is really good.

The hotel is near the tea gardens so overall ambience is pleasant. Great for morning walks. They also have a pool table and carrom board for the kids to enjoy. The staff was very kind and helpful.

Nothing

The staff, especially Sarath is very friendly and easy to communicate with . We ordered dinner and it was very nice.

Faced a little difficulty with hot water, the first night . But the problem was solved the following day by Friendly Sarath.

Ability to have whole family in one guest house terrific. Staff amazing. Guitarist and singer during evening a bonus. Had food delivered and had access to private dining room with waiter.

Shower only produced boiling water but was able to shower upstairs

Sarath is a great guy and we really felt valued and nicely treated. If needed something Sarath always tried to make it possible and he did. Our kids loved that there were games incl a billard table in the lobby. The food was also delicious and we don’t have any complaints regarding the service.

The hotel seems to not have been modernized/renovated in quite a time. The furniture was partly broken or not in best shape, the carpet looks like it should be replaced soon due to stains and the furniture etc was partly dusty. The windows should be cleaned from the outside. We believe the hotel has potential for western guests/tourists but it needs replacing/renovation and modernization

The location was really nice!

There was no AC or fan in the room. There was no ventilation at all. The bathroom was mouldy and there was a water leak from the toilet making it disgusting.

Very friendly staff . Good service

Nill

Nothing refuswd to stay there

Everything pictures of hotel photoshopped dirty run down , scary to get to rural

Die Abreise und das Frühstück

Unsauberes Riesen-Zimmer ohne Möbel und mit kaputten Vorhängen, Party im Hotel mit Trommeln und Gesang bis zu meiner Beschwerde um 23 Uhr. Zimmer mit zwei Betten und Lake View gebucht aber nur ein Zimmer mit einem Bett und Blick auf ein Feld bekommen.

Super nettes Personal. Das Hotel war sauber und sehr bequem

Very quiet and relaxing environment

N/A

The location was both advantage and disadvantage. It is situated way above from the main town and hence it was fully foggy all the time. But that made it beautiful too.

Because of the foggy weather, we couldn’t go out much. But that’s not related to the property as such.

Checkout

On the signs they advertise with “luxury boutique hotel”. Sadly the hotel itself was far from anything luxury or boutique. The hotel is not well maintained, so it doesn’t look anything like the pictures published by the hotel anymore. The hotel is just like the plant we found in our bathroom, its best time is over. The rooms and general areas are very worn down, there were holes in the walls everywhere. Also the hygiene was disappointing, I found a hair in my bed, long hair in the shower and mold near the sink, the toilet and on the walls. The area where breakfast and dinner are served are in the corridor, right in front of the rooms, and the doors do not block the sound. During my stay they played loud music and there was a group of people making a lot of noise in the evening. I had to use earplugs to be able to sleep. Breakfast was okay, but looks NOTHING like the pictures published by the hotel. We did not have a pleasant stay and were happy to leave.

Very friendly staff, Mr Sarath was excellent. Thank you for your given service.food 8s bit over priced.. 🤣✌️

Staff, location.

hotel located at outskirt with a lake view near by to city everything within 4-5 Km's range. as we were in off-season the staff gave us option to select the room which we would like to stay within the same category. for dinner we arranged food & drinks from outside but the staff made special arrangement for us inside the hotel on the same floor at the dinning area. this location is a hill station and they don't have FAN or AC inside the rooms but on our demand they provided a small table fan to circulate the air for breathing. the breakfast they served was a set menu instead of buffet. for our 1.5yr toddler they had a baby chair. carry winter cloths if you are travelling to this city.

For driver only paid accommodation was available which was an extra cost.

Very good breakfast (mainly Sri Lankan menu). Friendly and supportive staff.

Need to improve wifi facilities

Amazing dinner, small dog available. :-)

Breakfast was not great. Crazy dog policy :-D

Mainly the location, the staff and its facilities and delicious food.

Nothing

Cleanliness Delicious food Views

Very nice location uphill with good view of gregory lake from the room. Room were quite spacious and clean, with natural light and good ventilation. Cherry on the top is the great staff and service - always smiling, ready to help!!

Property is very clean. Nice view of the lake. Friendly staff. Lovely piping hot running water. Pool table in the reception area. Lovely local dinner.

A little up on a hill in a narrow steep lane so walking out to the main city was difficult but if you have a vehicle then that fine.

Location , services of the staff, food was awesome. It was one of the best stays . Rooms were clean and BF was nice spread.

NA. Can't say anything all was best

Breakfast was good. Staff was extremely helpful. Didnt like the approach to the hotel and its location. Facilities were good.

This place was amazing - it had a pool table and a carrom board which we really enjoyed playing. Kushan and his team, who were kind and warm, really made our stay delightful, and served us delicious food customised to our liking. We appreaciate the efforts of all the staff who worked very hard in the cold weather and made our stay comfortble.

Lots of houseflies . I suggest keeping an electric fly swatter for guests.

The location, staff, views, food, everything is so perfect. there’s nothing to complain about. Hospitality is the best, the staff there is very helpful, supportive , they are the best. we even got a room upgrade which was a surprise for us. we wanted a nice place with a good view and we got the perfect place.

Thank you, Kushan, for hosting such a lovely, peaceful stay. The view from our room was incredible and the service even better - warm and welcoming. We arrived late at night and the chef prepared us a wonderful spread with fresh ingredients, from scratch. The room was spacious and heaters were provided for cooler nights. The team was always on hand to assist us whenever necessary. We loved our time here.

Nothing.

Superb

1) Behavior of staff was welcoming and nice. 2) Breakfast was customizable and good. 3) Dinner was served even late in the night.

1) It is a very basic property, not an upscale one. 2) Was priced a little bit on the higher side. 3) The view from the room was a bit cluttered due to nearby structures and wires.

The food is amazing! The location is a bit remote, but you can always get a tuktuk. Thanks to all the wonderful and considerate staff members

Staff were nice and friendly. Food was good. Water bottle in room. Break fast was good. Good wifi. They contacted us when we forgot one of our bags

Smell bad. Water supply was not consistent. Carpet old. Sink was chest high. Sheets had stains. No air condition. No in room phone. No safety box. One side of bed had no table next to it. Lights had strange outlets and the light on it was not consistent. Location bit far.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The customer service was outstanding, and everything was sparkling clean. The hospitality was so warm and welcoming. Plus, the surroundings were absolutely stunning and a joy to explore!

The staff was ok

This hotel pretends to have luxury rooms, although you notice that the facilities, the equipment and construction are bad and poorly maintained. Don't recommend.

The shower unit & behind the sink were moldy. The hairdryer didn’t work.

We got food poisoning from the food.

The hotel overlooks Gregory Lake and offers a beautiful view through the large glass windows in the room, which made the trip feel so relaxing. The hotel owner and his staff are very dedicated to making the stay even more enjoyable. The food was good, and the rooms were spacious with clean bathrooms

None

The staff were so helpful and kind.

My stay at Sadathenna by Secret Leisure was amazing. Its location was convenient to get around Nuwara eliya town and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and the room was spacious. One of the best stays in Sri Lanka

Convenient location & cozy rooms

Menu charges by Courses which is never heard in any where in Nuwara Eliya and very small portions not value for the high price

Excellent service. Tasty freshly made food. Great location.

We loved the location, the room, the breakfast and dinner as the staff made special vegetarian dishes for us as we demanded. Also they were generous with giving us water bottles whenever we required them. This was the friendliest and most efficient staff that one can expect.

The pool/billiards table was not well maintained with all the nets in the pockets torn.

The location was beautiful. The staff made special vegetarian food for us for breakfast and dinner as we requested. It was the most friendly and efficient staff we have perhaps ever seen in a hotel. They provided us with water bottles whenever we required. There were some problems with the shower, but again they fixed it right away.

The pool/billiards table is advertised in the photos as well, but it is not well maintained and all the pockets nets are torn so the balls fall on the ground. If it were not advertised then there would be no problem.

The Staff and the breakfast was the only reason we liked that place. Place is not as it is shown in the pictures, specially the location. Definitely not a good value for money.

Location was not honestly portrayed.

Perfect , all ! Thanks for the fabulous team and the warming welcome 🥰🥰🥰🥰 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The staff and owner were extremely courteous. We arrived on our third night, and after a lot of traveling, we were all exhausted, hungry, and craving home-cooked food. The chef and owner understood our request and prepared exactly what we wanted. Not only that, they went above and beyond to help improve our itinerary, ensuring we didn’t miss any of the best attractions in Sri Lanka and also ensure that we enjoy our stay at his place.

The rooms were clean and spacious, also with hot water and a good shower. Which if you have traveled SL you will know it is very rare to find a good hot shower. Location was awesome with so many sites surrounding the property. Staff were always very helpful and ready to answer any questions you have.

Nothing.

Because of the sourrounded view and the deleicious food

Good
