Location super pulita e confortevole dove soggiornare. Il bagno dispone anche di una doccia con caldaia e acqua calda. È possibile fare una passeggiata per poter andare ad ammirare la cascata in zona. Host super disponibile per qualsiasi evenienza, ci ha accompagnato fin sopra il treno panoramico per Ella. Super consigliato!

We really enjoyed our stay here. ❤️ The staff were so friendly, kind and helpful. We felt very welcome from the moment we arrived. The room was clean, the facilities were great, and everything was well taken care of. The breakfast was especially amazing — actually, it was the best breakfast we had during our one-week holiday in Sri Lanka! 🥰 We were very happy with everything and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended! ❤️
La chambre etait confortable, la gentillesse de l'hôte et bonne emplacement
Un animal qui a fait du bruit toute la nuit nous empêchant de dormir. Nous comptions sur le diner, nous avons été prévenu que c'était pas possible une heure avant alors qu'il pleuvait énormément.
Location was great. Host was so warm and helpful.
Quite noisy outside, but it died down later on.
Perfektes Erlebnis. Der Besitzer ist unglaublich nett, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Er hat mich von der Busstation abgeholt und wieder hingebracht. Abendessen und Frühstück ist unglaublich lecker und sehr grosse Portionen. Der Besitzer hilft dir bei allem was du brauchst. Das Haus ist blitzsauber. Es werden Hausschuhe getragen, so das immer alles sauber bleibt. Das Bett ist super bequem und die Bettwäsche riecht sehr frisch. Das Haus ist gemütlich und schön eingerichtet, man fühlt sich direkt sehr wohl.
Everything was fine! Owner helpful and kind and took us to buy tea in the morning and then dropped us off for the Ella train.

The hosts were great, and the stay included all the promised facilities. Dinner was amazing—the Egg Kothu was super tasty and came in a very generous portion! Breakfast was also included and featured delicious pancakes, fresh fruit, and Sri Lankan roti with curry.
Struttura con pulizia impeccabile! Abbiamo apprezzato la rimozione delle scarpe. La camera era grande, il proprietario sempre presente e gentile. Ci tornerei! Cena buona a prezzi super ragionevoli
Nous avons séjourné 1 nuit en août à Ruchi House. Les chambres sont propres. Nos hôtes étaient très gentils et attentionné ce qui a rendu notre séjour très agréable dans une ambiance cosy. Ils ont pris le temps d’échanger et de nous conseillé. Le petit-déjeuner et varié, permettant de découvrir un éventail de spécialités sri-lankaises. Nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié le repas du soir. Une excellente adresse que nous recommandons vivement !
La famiglia che gestisce la struttura è davvero gentile ed accogliente. La camera è pulita e comoda. La colazione è davvero ottima. Il signore ci ha anche accompagnato alla stazione di Nanu Oya, ad un prezzo vantaggioso e si è preoccupato di farci salire sul treno.
.
Really friendly owner and a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast : )
El personal muy agradable, siempre con ganas de ayudar.
El día que fuimos hacía MUCHÍSIMO frío y la casa al ser tan antigua no aislaba nada.
Struttura molto accogliente così come il padrone di casa, abbiamo avuto la possibilità di cenare entrambe le sere lì spendendo veramente poco e di alta qualità! Il padrone di casa super gentile ed onesto, ci ha anche portato in stazione il giorno della partenza.
Doccia poco funzionale ma non incide nella valutazione complessiva
Tolle Unterkunft. Stadtkern gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Super Frühstück.

Host super gentile, camera grande, funzionale con tanti posti dove poggiare le proprie cose, e pulita. I propietari mi hanno fornito anche delle ciabatte per stare in casa e delle ciabatte per la doccia, cosa che ho molto apprezzato, perché nelle altre strutture non mi era capitato. Anche il mio driver quando ha visto la camera ha chiesto e prenotato una stanza lì per la notte. Inoltre la colazione era abbondante e buonissima.
Fijn ontbijt, en goed geprijsd. Er is ook een menu voor het avondeten, waar je uit kunt kiezen. Echt top! Het werd meteen nog gemaakt toen wij laat aankwamen met de trein uit Ella. Heel erg fijn. De dag erna regelden ze een extra tuktuk om op pad te gaan, want wij zijn met 5 personen en zelf hebben ze er maar eentje. Heel lief! Ook werden we naar het busstation gebracht (weer met een extra tuktuk), ideaal.
De gewone tweepersoonsbedden zijn 1.40 breed, wat wij best knus vinden... Wel met heerlijke dekens, en je hebt ze ook nodig 's nachts.
Exceptional Place, exceptional food, exceptional people 🖤 if you are in Nuwara Eliya, you Need to stay here!
Todo genial. Los anfitriones siempre pendientes de todo. Pudimos cenar allí a precio increíble. La casa es una pasada, una casa colonial de 120 años preciosa y cuidada.
I proprietari dell'hotel sono stati gentilissimi, la colazione e la cena buone e molto abbondanti, è stato tutto perfetto!!anche le coperte pesanti perchè a Nuwara Eliya il clima è abbastanza fresco.

Die angenehme Atmosphäre und hilfsbereitschaft der Vermieter.

Very very helpful and kind :)
Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber im Homestay, tolles großes Zimmer (drei Doppelbetten in zwei Zimmern mit Verbindungstür) und es gab leckeres Frühstück und wir haben auch Diner bestellt. Sehr faire Preise.

숙소 정말 추천합니다. 우선 도착하면 사장님이 픽업 와 주셨고 길이 익숙해진다면 메인로드에서 걸어서도 충분히 다닐만한 거리입니다. 그리고 숙소는 너무 아늑하고 예뻤으며 가장 중요한 청결도를 100점 주고싶습니다. 원래 1박 계획했는데 연장해서 머물렀습니다. 사장님은 정말 친절하셨고 제가 몸이 좀 안좋았는데 많은 도움을 주셨습니다. 그리고 조식은 맛있으며 양도 정말 많았습니다. 최고의 숙소입니다
Sitio limpio, súper amplio, los dueños son maravillosas personas, serviciales, súper atentos. Todo muy cuidado. Cenamos y desayunamos allí, lo cocina la separa de la casa, todo espectacular
Accueil aux petits soins de Sani et sa femme (Ruchi house). Nous avons très très bien mangé (dîner et petit déj). Rres grande Gentillesse et honnêteté de nos hôtes.. Nous recommandons ! Merci beaucoup !
Nous avons été au centre ville à pied... Mais le tuk tuk est préférable si vous n'aimez pas marché le long d'une route très passante...
De host was supervriendelijk en hulpvaardig. Niets was teveel gevraagd. Heerlijk ontvangen met thee, en direct huiselijk gevoel. Avondeten was mogelijk met enkele van de heerlijkste curry's die we al hadden. Ook ontbijt was overheerlijk. Absoluut een aanrader!
Niets, overtrof onze verwachtingen
Lo que más nos ha gustado y agradecemos es la constante atención y cuidado por parte de los dueños. El desayuno es muy variado, abundante y estaba riquísimo. Dos noches cenamos también en la casa, tienen diferentes platos para que podamos elegir y la cena estaba muy rica. Hicimos una mañana entera de excursión en tuk tuk con el dueño de la casa y estuvo genial. Es una casa colonial que mantiene el estilo de aquella época. La casa está rodeada de tiestos con diferentes plantas y tiene una mesa con sombrilla, que también hemos utilizado. Recomendamos este alojamiento
We had an amazing stay! From check-in to check-out, the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Their warm hospitality made us feel right at home. The food was excellent, with a great variety and delicious flavors. The entire experience was relaxing and enjoyable, and the property was well maintained, making it a perfect place to unwind. We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable getaway. We will definitely be visiting again!
Nous venons d’y passer une nuit . La chambre était grande et propre . Le repas du soir était excellent tout comme le petit déjeuner. Un couple adorable et serviable . Nous recommandons cet hébergement sans hésitation. Merci pour votre hospitalité

Very kind and friendly owner. He really cared about our stay, was helpful and provided info regarding our plans. The breakfast and dinner were great. The room was clean and cozy, well equipped.
Location was good for us, we enjoyed walking through and experiencing the local town life and not just the tourist side. Food, breakfast and dinners were great, but the best thing was the hospitality of the owner and his wife. Nothing was too much trouble to organise and provided transport as required.
Nothing really, there was some street noise at night but not excessive, Would recommend to anyone seeking value accommodation in Nuwara Eliya in a special house.
Chambres récentes propres très bien équipées.
Tout est parfait
Très jolie chambre dans une belle maison so british🇬🇧 Le propriétaire est au petit soin, il propose de venir nous chercher à la gare si besoin Son petit déjeuner est excellent et il propose des repas.
1.民宿小巧溫馨。重視細節。雖然晚上冷但是棉被很溫暖。 2.老闆用心接待,免費從公車站接我,並即時給予協助。讓我能輕鬆遊玩 3.早餐很豐盛。另外我加購晚餐跟午餐非常美味 推薦給所有遊客!

築100年ほどの英国時代のイギリス人邸宅だそうで、インテリアもとてもかわいかったのと、かなり清潔だったのが印象的でした。また、宿の方にとても親切にしていただいて、すごく快適に過ごすことができました。朝ごはんも美味しかったです。宿から30分ほどのお散歩でLover’s Leap Waterfallという滝に行けるのもよかったです。夜はかなり冷え込みましたが、毛布もあり暖かく眠れました。シャワーもしっかりしたお湯が出ました。
特になし
Nice cottage close to the waterfall. We had a nice dinner and breakfast. Very friendly Homestay people.
We had a wonderful two-night stay at Ruchi House. The owner and his wife were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and always happy to help, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The house itself is a real gem—a beautifully preserved colonial residence that is over 110 years old. It was originally owned by a British lady named Miss Hover and has been passed down through the current owner's family. He has carefully renovated the property while preserving its original character and authenticity. The house is also spotlessly clean and full of historical charm. If you're looking for a genuine colonial-era experience in Nuwara Eliya rather than just another hotel, I highly recommend Ruchi House. It is a unique place to stay and one of the highlights of our visit.
On the first night, a neighboring property hosted a birthday party that continued until about 1:15 a.m., with loud music and noise. However, this was clearly beyond the owner's control, and we understand that it was an exceptional event rather than a regular occurrence. It certainly did not diminish our overall positive impression of Ruchi House, and we would happily stay there again.
Gastheer was erg vriendelijk, gastvrij en erg behulpzaam. Rijd je overal heen met zijn tuk tuk. Heerlijk gegeten, zowel ontbijt als avondeten. Kamer heeft een leuk zithoekje, daarnaast is er nog een eet/zitplek buiten je eigen kamer.

Everything was perfect
Nothing to complain about
Prima locatie echter maar 1 nacht doorgebracht. Wij hebben de hele dag regen gehad en dat zou de dag erop niet anders zijn. Besloten om door te rijden.
De regen
Unique colonial house with original decor. Very clean and comfortable with large room and walk-in shower. Very humble and helpful host who took us in his tuktuk to catch train to Ella. Nice breakfast included.
We stayed at Ruchi's House with two toddlers for 3 nights and felt very comfortable. The property was very looked after: very clean, no mould at all, comfy beds, crispy linen, quiet location (when our kids weren't going crazy 😂). Sanjee and his wife were welcoming and lovely to talk to. We had breakfast everyday at the property and dinner a couple of times; the food was absolutely delicious. We would definitely recommend staying with them!
Everything was perfect for what we needed.
Un très bon séjour d’une nuit. Cadre agréable, chambres confortables et les propriétaires aux petits soins. Merci pour l’accueil et la gentillesse
Beautiful accommodation with attention to detail just outside of the city center. The hosts are so kind and helpful from arranging excursions and transportation to preparing delicious meals for us to enjoy. They charge a very reasonable price. Wonderful place, I highly recommend staying here.
It is a very cute house which builded in 1920, and it keep very good condition, and clean, he owner are very friendly, and welling to he.p guest, and the breakfast is very good, I recommend this hostel,

The host was super helpful with organising our stay and organising tuktuk the next day, both breakfast and dinner were delicious and the host was really friendly and accommodating!
Very welcoming host, lovely family home with great food! We ate dinner and breakfast here and had some lovely curries and paratha.
Excellent séjour a Ruchi House. Les propriétaires étaient géniaux, très très bienveillants et attentionnés Leurs nourritures étaient excellentes Merci pour tout on s’y sentait comme chez nous
Great place to stay! Quite and peaceful location
Perfect host, good size room, fantastic breakfast / dinner and a 5 min tuktuk from the centre of NE. Great location to Lover's Leap waterfall and Pedro Tea factory. Expectations were exceeded!
Everything was perfect! The host was very kind and helpful, and had a strong sense of hospitality. The room was clean and big enough with a hot shower. I received a free pickup from the bus station and a tour of Nuwara Eliya, including a visit of a tea factory (for an extra cost). For a fair price, the host also organized my trip to Horton Plains National Park and dropped me off at Ambewela Station. I highly recommend this place. Thank you so much for the stay.😊
None.
I had a a great stay at Ruchi House! The hosts were super nice and reacted very quickly via what’s app! The breakfast was amazing and a lot! You will for sure have a solid base for hiking! I also had a huge Kottu for a fair price which was very tasty. The rooms are spacious. I didn’t freeze during the night as I had very thick duvets. They also offer slippers for the shower so you won’t have to walk on the wet blood and slippers so you feet won’t get cold!
On s’est senti comme chez nous, il fallait retirer les chaussures c’était top ! Le propriétaire est super sympa également. Petit déjeuner copieux.
We loved everything about this property. A quaint 150 year old English house, with only a couple of rooms. The hosts were extremely friendly and happy for a chat. The breakfast was delicious, and the Chicken Kottu we had for dinner was the best so far. They were also very helpful and had a tuk tuk if you needed a ride anywhere, for a fee. Our room was very cosy and had the most comfortable bed, with lovely smelling linen. Only a short walk into the town centre. We couldn't recommend this place highly enough, it was amazing!
Absolutely nothing!
Personnes très accueillantes et aimables. Très arrangeants et ponctuels, nous souhaitions aller à Horton plains tôt le matin, ils nous ont préparé le petit déjeuner à emporter à l'heure. Chambres spacieuses et propres, eau chaude avec pression. Ils se sont débrouillés pour nous rapporter une figurine que notre fils avait oublié dans leurs hôtel.

Wir haben uns sehr gefreut eine Unterkunft für eine Familie mit 3 Kindern zu finden. Die Leute sind super nett, man wohnt mit im Haus, aber separat. Das Zimmer ist nicht sehr groß, und das 2. Doppelbett auch nicht super breit, aber wir haben alle Platz gefunden und für den Preis war das sehr in Ordnung. Wir sind morgens früh gestartet zur Wanderung nach Worlds End und hatten daher ein Frühstückpaket. Haben abends dort gegessen und das war eine gute Entscheidung.
The owners were so kind and friendly, the dinner and breakfast were delicious. The house was amazing
The dogs outside were barking all night, which is not their fault at all but maybe request a room away from the street side, pillows were a bit too hard for me
Clean, comfortable room and delicious food!
Nothing
The house was cute and very clean, one of the the best hospitality experiences we had so far in Sri Lanka. I wish i could spend more time there. If you want to find a nice place to stay in Nuwara Eliya thats the one.
literally nothing.
Host en zijn vrouw waren super lief! Er werd heerlijk gekookt en ze brachten ons overal naar toe voor maar een kleine prijs. Alles was schoon, de kamer was ruim en nogmaals een fantastisch ontvangst!
Niks!!!
Super clean and big room. Super friendly couple! They have a wonderfull place and make fresh and good food!
Absolutely perfect homestay with the kindest hosts who went the extra mile to make sure we enjoyed our stay . Great value for money. We were picked up from the train station by Tuktuk, which was greatly appreciated since our train was delayed and we arrived late at night. We also got a ride to the bus station on our last day with helpful tips on which bus to take. The room and house were exceptionally clean, and homely. The breakfast was great, as were the dinner options (we ate in each night). Overall we could not recommend enough - 10/10 and would happily stay again! Thank you!
Nothing. It was perfect
Danke fürs Fahren! Das Abendessen und Frühstück war lecker. Alles war sauber und wir waren sehr zufrieden.
Das Bett ist etwas durchgelegen und nicht ganz komfortabel, trotzdem hatten wir eine gute Nacht hier.
We absolutely loved our stay at Ruchi house. From the moment we arrived we felt welcome and our hosts were just the loveliest, kindest people you could ever wish to meet. Our room was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and the bedding had a really lovely smell. Our breakfast each day was very good and the evening meals were just wonderful- freshly cooked and so delicious. We chose to go on a trip to Ramboda Falls and a tea factory with our host and we had a great time- well worth the money.
The warmest of the family They so caring The couple took good care of us They also have their own Tuk tuk I had the chance to visit the nine arch bridge this part I did appreciate thank you so much
The room was clean, the breakfast was very good, but my favorite thing was the kindness of the owners, it’s really a good people. I can only recommend going there
Our stay at Ruchi House was perfect Sanjeewa and his wife really care and arranged transport and provided us with delicious meals. Super clean and nothing is too much trouble, taking us to the station to catch early in the morning, and still providing a lovely breakfast,
Nothing
Ägarna var trevliga. Maten på boendet var jättegod och prisvärd. Du fick önska god för frukosten och den var god.
La millor casa de tota la nostra estada. Ordenada, neta i que recorda molt a una casa típica anglesa. Tracte molt bo amb la família.
We hadden ervoor gekozen om te eten bij Ruchi House en wauw, dit heeft al onze verwachtingen overtroffen. We hebben nergens ZO lekker gegeten. Al je op zoek bent naar een authentieke ervaring, dan MOET je hier naartoe. Ook de gastvrijheid was enorm goed en de kamer was enorm schoon. Niks op aan te merken
Only stayed one night, dinner was delicious and they packed me a breakfast for early start to catch train.
Outstanding! Extremly friendly hosts, they even prepared a cake and a surprise for our son's birthday. The dinner was delicious and the portions huge! Also the breakfast was great! The room was impeccably clean. At the evening we walked around 30 minutes up the hill to the waterfall and we really liked it.
We liked everything!
Sehr schön eingerichtet und sauber. Nettes und hilfsbereites Ehepaar.
Das Frühstück war eher Standard, haben auf der Reise besseres erlebt. Der Tee war sehr lecker.
C'est une jolie maison du tout début du 20zme siècle qui a été rénovée avec beaucoup de goût.Les chambres sont spacieuses, confortables avec beaucoup de cachet.Les hotes sont incroyablement gentils et serviables,.Nous y avons aussi dîner d'un repas Sri Lankais épicé à notre goût :nous nous sommes régalées !

A really lovely Homestay with super kind owners. Breakfast was great! Thanks so much for a warm welcome to Sri Lanka!
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, sehr höfliche, nette Gastgeber, es gab ein leckeres Abendessen was spontan gekocht wurde, da wir spät angekommen sind. Die großen Zimmer mit warmer Dusche waren super.
Nichts.
Great place that has a really cosy farm house vibe to it. Very comfortable beds and very affordable. Owner was ready to assist us with anything we needed whenever we needed it. No need to go out late at night as you can get dinner at the accommodation.
L'accueil et la gentillesse des hôtes, la propreté irréprochable, le confort général, le magnifique intérieur, la très bonne cuisine. Immense chambre familiale. Une vraie belle adresse.
Un peu bruyant la nuit parfois à cause de quelques chiens mais rien de grave.
Very clean, hot water, nice place. Most of all the owner is super welcoming, he helped us organize our hike in the Horton plains, driving us and adapting the breakfast.
有三张床的家庭套间特别适合5--6人的家庭亲子游。一家人住在一个大空间,特别有家庭氛围。早餐不错,老板准备了西式早餐,还有斯里兰卡的特色面饼。
Excelente! Es la mejor estancia en la que hemos estado en Sri lanka. El dueño fue super amable y nos ayudo con todo. La habitación era super limpia y super grande. El señor tiene la opción de llevarte en su tuktuk por buen precio. El desayuno fue excelente y muy abundante
La casa es antigua de la época colonial, tiene su encanto. El señor es muy amable. El desayuno estaba muy bueno.
La habitación sería perfecta sino fuera por el aislamiento, entraba frío, ruido y olores del exterior. Un pequeño radiador no iría mal. Por lo demás genial.
