Dilani Adamspeak RiverStay

Richtig nette Gastfamilie, von hier aus kann man direkt den Adams Peak Aufstieg beginnen. Zimmer war groß, sauber und mit eigenem Badezimmer. Essen war sehr lecker, aber etwas teuer.

Von der Straße aus etwas schwierig zu finden, ein Schild würde helfen. Es geht scharf rechts eine Einfahrt herunter, hier liegt das Haus.

Very close to Adam Peak, just 1 or 2 minutes you from the starting point of Adam peak. The owner is very friendly, he gave me some advice before I go Adam Peak because I am going when off season. The food is Sri Lanka cuisine and very delicious. The food nig portion and worth for the price..

Location, hosts, food

La chambre est grande, spatieuse et propre avec une salle de bain immense. On m'a offert le dîner... très copieux, avec du poissons, du rue, des légumes de tout genre, vraiment c'était même trop et 2 bouteilles d'eau. L'hôte qui est aussi guide et de bon conseil. Le prix de la chambre est vraiment dérisoire comparé au haut standing de la chambre. On entend la rivière couler à 10 mètres. Un havre de paix Au pieds du début de l'ascension du Adam's peak. Un homme bienveillant, toute la famille est gentille Il a organisé mon retour en taxi jusqu'à Panadura. Merci pour tout Je reviendrai sans hésiter Je recommande vivement et sans hésiter.

Nice food and close to the Adam's Peak.

Only cold water

Dilani is the perfect host! Very helpful, respectful, sincere... I felt like at home. The room and the bathroom are very big. The bed is great and you can have a hot shower too. His family and his village people are very kind. Also the food was amazing. Besides, he knows wonderful places around the village. I wish I could come back 💚

Top locatie als je de adams peak gaat beklimmen! Prima faciliteiten voor het geld dat je ervoor betaald en een aardige host die graag eten voor je maakt.

It was an good location and nice room

The owner charged us for a lock we didn’t break. One of the staff was showing us the room when we arrived and unlocked the door. The lock broke and was not fixed. after the hike the owner made us pay for the lock even though we never touched the keys. She lied about everything and started laughing. All while our stuff was not locked while we were hiking

We had a great stay at Dilanis. The owner was really lovely and was making sure we always had everything we needed. The food, breakfast and dinner were very good also !! The location is excellent as it’s directly at the beginning of the track to Adam’s Peak. The owner even organized a tuk tuk driver for a really good price for us to our next destination. All in all a great experience!

Vriendelijke mensen en een fantastische locatie !!

Rapport qualité/prix est bien là. L'accueil est apaisant et d'une grande propreté est assez calme.

Все были очень добрые. Было чисто

Clean and well placed

Wenn man die Wanderung zum Adams Peak macht ist die Unterkunft sehr zu empfehlen. Wir haben tolle Tipps erhalten und der Startpunkt ist gar nicht weit weg. Die Zimmer sind super ausgestattet. Eine warme Decke und ein Föhn sind in dieser Region goldwert.

- Die Wände sind sehr dünn, daher hört man sehr viel Umgebungsgeräusche. - Frühstück war so lala. - Die Ankunft war sehr holprig, da Google Maps einen anderen Weg anzeigt. Da leider die Kommunikation über WhatsApp schwierig war (Handy war wohl kaputt vom Besitzer) haben wir uns mit unseren TukTuks selbst durchgekämpft. Da wäre eine Anfahrtsskizze hilfreich.

Could not get closer to entry . Super friendly people and host. Place was very clean

La posizione è ottima per partire per il cammino. Tutto sommato la camera vale il prezzo.

La camera è rumorosissima, è stato molto complicato dormire quelle poche ore prima della partenza del cammino. Abbiamo chiesto di poter arrivare ad Hatton via bus e ci è stato detto che non c’erano collegamenti diretti salvo ad orari francamente incompatibili con il trekking, salvo poi scoprire che partono bus ogni 30 min. Probabilmente è una tecnica diffusa per offrire solo i propri servizi a prezzi più alti.

这家民宿离登山入口很近，打扫得很干净，提供了毛毯。早餐很好吃。老板很热情，知道我导航有误找不到他家，开Tuktuk 过来接我。早上还非要两点多起来给我煮茶水好有力气爬山，实在不好意思麻烦他而婉拒了。回程他特意给司机打电话预约了去hatton的公交车，叮嘱我放心睡一个小时再起来。很温暖的一次体验。

Super emplacement, au départ de Adams Peak. Famille très accueillante.

L accueil de Mutu a été très chaleureux. L emplacement de l hôtel est parfait pour accéder à l Adam s peak. La chambre et la salle de bain correspondent pleinement aux photos. Les repas servis au restaurant de l hôtel sont bons et copieux. Tout est formidable, nous avons passé un excellent moment. Nous recommandons vivement.

民宿位在亞當山路徑的起點附近，半夜起走很方便，山區住宿簡單，但該有的東西都有，連吹風機都有，老闆人很老實誠懇，不會推销什麼。我們半夜2點半起走，還起來送一杯熱茶喝，很温馨，下山之後，也很快準備好早餐。

Hospitality and food

Little bit hard to find

El Dueño fue muy amable con nosotros, nos ayudó en todo. Si vas a subir Adams Peak, la ubicación es perfecta.

Wir waren sehr zufrieden hier, gutes Essen, der Gastgeber war sehr nett und aufmerksam! Top Lage, näher geht nicht Richtung Adam's Peak!!

Very friendly owner, great location!

Nothing

Le logement est au pied littéralement du chemin pour le pic d’Adam. Si vous souhaitez faire l’ascension c’est LA qu’il faut aller je vous le recommande fortement ! Les gérants sont adorables du petit déjeuner jusqu’aux petits soins (équipement pour l’ascension par exemple) ! On ne peut pas noter leur gentillesse mais ils méritent 1000 étoiles … Venez à cette endroit si vous souhaitez faire l’ascension c’est incontestablement The place to be !

Rien tout était parfait

The location was super nice and the host was super kind and friendly and he helped me with everything .Also the breakfast was delicious

Everything was good

Excellent accomodation right at the foot of the Adams peak trek, so perfect for starting early morning treks and arriving back afterwards. The host Marimuthu is very kind and knowledgable about the trek and travelling in Sri Lanka. Guides can also be arranged and the food made by Marimuthu and his family is tasty and reasonably priced.

Best customer service 🤝 Worth the price👌 Friendly staff and fabulous breakfast😋😍 Perfectly clean👍

Good stay and nice host

Value for money

A very suitable place to stay. A hotel where you can also get clean food with cleanliness and good service.

Wonderful Stay at Dilani Adamspeak RiverStay! I had an amazing experience at Dilani Adamspeak RiverStay. The location is perfect for visiting Adam's Peak, and the hospitality from the staff was outstanding. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The peaceful atmosphere and beautiful surroundings made it a memorable visit. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the area! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

The staff were fantastic and so kind and helpful, as was the food and a perfect spot for Adams peak.

The room itself was in a busy location and the rooms weren't sound proof at all and SO LOUD, we basically didn't sleep as people were so loud walking past and also outside the room. So it made to 2am wake up quite tough which was a big shame as everything else was great.

The host was very helpful and nice. He cared about us well, told us about local tea and its history. The room was clean and had hot shower and mosquito net (much needed as cockroaches and other insect come at night). Good value for money, great location directly on the path to Adam’s Peak. The host gave us a free water at the end of the stay, arranged a tuktuk for a very good price to take us to Hatton.

The door and windows wasn’t sealing the room, so a lot of insect came at night (we had mosquito net so it was fine). Other guests were loud and woke us up in the middle of the night having shower and singing (but that’s common here and not the fault of the host!). The food wasn’t the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka, but ok for one dinner. The breakfast was good.

Absolutely best location if you want to climb Adams Peak :) Very friendly and helpful owner who owns also a shop and a bistro. You can eat and watch the pilgrims walk by, really nice. Wonderful warm shower!

Dont expect anything luxurious. It’s simple but good value for money!

This is a small family business and you can Tell that these are very hard working People. You won't go hungry here! The bed was super comfortable and there was a hot shower that was very Nice after climbing Adams peak. I even got a breakfast after the climb. The house is at the start of the climb so perfect if you'd like to do this.

The location was perfect to start early at Adam's peak. When we came back we received breakfast and were able to sleep for a few hours. Late checkout until 13:00 was perfect. The owner was very friendly and arranged a tuktuk for us to Hatton. The driver was very friendly and gave us a small tour with a few stops.

Great place to stay if hiking the Adam’s peak. The host is very funny and makes sure you never gonna be hungry . Big and delicious breakfast and dinner .. the room was comfy and clean.

This property was absolutely very friendly.

Great location if you are here for Adam Peak climbing.

The owner is a very kind person. He helped us organize our adam's peak trek and also has a restaurant open 24 hours a day nearby the hotel. The room was very clean, large and with a hot shower. Everything was perfect. I recommend it, especially for the hospitality of the owner.

Perfect location for the hike up to Adam's peak. Room was in perfect condition, staff was friendly. They offered good food, too.

SENSATIONAL!! This property is right next to the start of the walk for Adam’s Peak, so you’ll be the first ones up and out before the crowds follow. The staff were wonderful and made us the most unbelievable dinner and breakfast (when we got back from our hike). Some of the nicest local food we’ve had in Sri Lanka. This place is incredible value for money and a wonderful stay. Adam’s Peak was also our highlight of Sri Lanka.

The location is the best in town if you plan to climb Adam’s peak.

The room is not very soundproof, so bring earplugs

Amazing stay with exceptional hospitality! I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful property, and I cannot recommend it enough! The location is absolutely perfect – nestled in the heart of nature, it offers breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere that truly allows you to reconnect with the outdoors. What made the experience even more special was the incredible hospitality of the owner and his family. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always went out of their way to ensure my stay was as comfortable as possible. From offering local tips to providing thoughtful touches, their warmth and attention to detail made me feel at home. it is simply magical place!

Pretty decent stay. I don't think you can find any closer to the top of Adam's peak. Vegetarian dinner and breakfast were delicious and abundant.

The accomodation is in an excellent location if you are looking to hike Adam's Peak. You will be thankful on the way back from the hike that it is the closest accommodation to the trail! The family are very helpful with knowledge of the area and went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible. For example, I was driving a Tuk Tuk and when I reached the accomodation, I realized that I was nearly out of petrol but the nearest filling station was 15km away. They went and got me petrol themselves without any extra charge. The dinner and breakfast was substantial and really nice, just what you want before and after a tough hike.

Nothing

The accommodation couldn’t be closer for climbing up the Adam’s peak making it the best location possible for anyone going for it. We have got pretty awesome dinner before our hike. The owner provided us with huge and nutritious breakfast after we got back from the mountain. The owner is exceptionally helpfull - he provided us with advices and even big flashlight to make our hike more doable. He also helped us big with the transport to our next location. Apart from above mentioned, the room is simple but comfortable providing everything needed.

The property is truly the closest you can get to Adams Peak before climbing a single stair, room had everything we needed, the mosquito net was great, there was no need for fan because the area is cold anyway, bed was comfy. Host was truly amazing and accomodating, we did not bring our own flashlights and he provided us with a big light and portable black tea that stayed warm and didn't spill in backpack. The dinner was lovely, the portion was huge. We also got offered Coca Cola which we recommend to take with you onto Adams Peak for energy. We really appreciate the tips and advice the host gave us, he was an expert, he woke us up and prepared us and he did all this while renovating the hotel.

It was probably because we were there during off season, but we could not figure out how to shower with hot water, otherwise it was absolutely amazing! :)

Very close to Adam’s Peak. The host was very friendly, showed us around and told us a lot about Sri Lanka and the area around. We had very good local dinner and breakfast. He also arranged a driver from and to Hatton for a very good price, wohl picked us up at the train station.

One of the most friendly and attentive host we've ever met at a Homestay. Always around to offer advice and answer any questions you may have. Even sent us up the mountain with a packed breakfast so we could have it on the trail. Perfect location for adams peak. Ended up having all of our meals at the homestay which were super delicious and great portion size. Comfy bed and clean room.

Very nice Host and great location. Wi-Fi worked perfectly and you can have nice hot shower. It’s the best place to start your journey to Shri Pada (Adams peak). Absolutely great food and service there. Very nice family which looked after us. This was definitely the best accommodation in Sri Lanka so far. Highly recommend 😊

Great location if you want to go to Adam’s peak. The owner is really kind, we also got dinner and it was really nice.

The sheets on the bed were not really clean.

Location is right at the trailhead of Adam's peak. King size bed is comfort to sleep in, pillow is comfortable and thick blanket provided. Basically you sleep with the sound of stream right infront of the lodge. Mosquitoes net provided. There is also water heater and toilet roll provided. Breakfast is tasty and homely. Host is helpful and always with a smile. We requested for hot coffee and instant noodles after our hike and he prepared for us, it's late night! Thank you! Highly recommend for anyone coming to Adam's peak!

Towels are not water absorbent. Electricity trip if water heater is on for long in our room, which the host has informed us earlier. We manage it with 5 mins rule, on and off with interval every 5 mins. USD/LKR rate slightly higher but we totally understand for this far off place with limited access.

Very nice host, location literally could not be closer to the start of the Adams peak hike. Very nice breakfast and gave us a kettle of tea and a big flashlight to use on the hike. Great value for money and perfect for hiking Adams peak!

proximity to the trail was great and our host was very welcoming friendly and attentive to our needs

being so close to the trail means more foot traffic and noise, so be prepared for this

First of all, it is the best location to do Adam's peak. The owner is always friendly and attentive to needs. He has a small restaurant that operates 24 hours a day. Very good breakfast. Clean room and comfortable bed. I am very grateful!

Cheap, clean, spacious, good breakfast and the closest you can possibly stay to Sri Pada!

Great little room. Perfect for starting Adam's peak. Very good curry. Host is very friendly.

Location is perfect to start the trek of Adam’s Peak! They also have a family restaurant with delicious rice and curry which makes it very convenient. The family is beyond nice and warm :)

Great location as a base camp to Adam's Peak. The room was clean, and the equipment was sufficient for our needs. Our host was very nice and helpful, and he has a shop right next to the guesthouse on the side of the road to Adam's Peak were you can eat and buy some supplies for the climb. We had dinner there and we enjoyed it. Early at night, you can hear the chants from the temples around so you are immersed in the atmosphere of the pilgrimage. And then it stops later at night.

The location was good. Very near to the entrance of adam’s peak. Do not expect too much, they dont provide any fans. Please bring your own padlock since they also didn’t provide it. The toilet was clean

Perfect for climbing adams peak, i think you cant get any closer to the start of the trail. Also very clean and spacious shower

Nothing. It’s basic but thats reasonable for this price!

The property was very nice and situated in a beautiful location by a river. The host was incredibly accommodating and helped me a great deal on the trip. I highly recommend staying here if you’re planning on climbing Sri Pada since it’s so close to the trail.

book B/B .but charge breakfast

Hot water not work

The breakfast was amazing and our host very sweet and caring! :)

The place has exceeded our expectations. It is very convenient if you want to climb Sri Pada (situated just where the trail starts). The owner is very communicative and helpful. The room is clean and so is the bathroom. It's all you need before and after the climbing: a clean room, a bed to rest and a place to have a shower. The breakfast was simple but tasty and sufficient.

Nothing

Perfect location for Adam's Peak as it is right at the start of the trail. Breakfast was great, and we also had an excellent dinner here.

Very basic but sufficient for one or two nights. The owner is so sweet and works really hard to make sure his guests are comfortable. He has a restaurant next to the homestay. Hot showers and close to the start of the climb for Adam's Peak. After our sunrise hike, he made us a delicious breakfast. He also arranged a tuktuk for us (at a reasonable price) to take us to Hatton station because we had a very early train to catch. Make sure you have earplugs as you can hear everything through the walls. Some downsides: there's not really a relaxing place to hang out outside of the room and our dinner the first night was cold. If you're looking for more luxury and a nice view, I'd recommend staying in one of the places on the edge of town.

Great location

Pretty low budget, very basic facilities and set-up

The host is amazing, very friendly and helpful. He runs the restaurant and shop in front of the property, so very convenient. The best location for Adams Peak, the closest accommodation to the start of the trail.

A fan might be nice if the hotter months - but Dalhousie isn’t too

Ideal for Adam's Peak hikers, this spot provides a convenient base to start or end your adventure. The host greets you with warmth, adding a personal touch to your stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable, offering a nice place to rest up before or relax after your hike.

It was a bit hard to find this place since it's hidden away, but once we got there, it was all good. The shared bathrooms were okay but got busy at times. There is an option to have your bathroom if you will.

The home stay was just at the start of the trail which is really great when you have to get up at 2 in order to make sunrise in time. The host was nice and helpful. Comfortable and large beds was a big plus. We had tea when we arrived and our stay went smoothly.

Our room was both noisy and smelly.

Very basic place but a great location right at the start of Adams peak. And very cheap price. Okay for one night. Mosquito nets are provided and you get bread dhal and jam for breakfast which is included in the price. They have WiFi but no one knows the password for it.

There were three local men outside my room all night making lots of noise and moving furniture about late at night which was not ideal when I wanted to wake up early for the hike. They were all stood around staring when I went to use the shared bathroom outside and they made me feel really uncomfortable.

Amazing place in the best location for Adam's Peak. Got a big room with en suite with really hot water. Free tea on arrival (comes with sugar so let them know if you want without!). Staff are nice.

I liked everything. I went on a weekend poya day so I was afraid the peak would be too busy at 2am for sunrise so I went at 11am and I had an amazing experience with no queues at the top. Consider this if you are not too bothered about the sunrise.

You get what you pay for, especially in Dalhousie this is quite a fair price compared to the rest of the accomodation on offer. The room was very clean and the bed quite comfy. It's right on the road to Adam's peak, so you get out and are ready to climb :)

The dinner was quite expensive for what we got: a rice and curry, with a lot of rice and very little curry for around 900 RP per person. It's worth noting that everything was crazy expensive in all shops and restaurants around there, but since it was our accomodation I would have expected a fairer treatment. The breakfast was fine, but they served it to us ''hidden'' in a corridor behind the room, while they have a shop with tables outside...why? The worst was anyway the noise around until very late, maybe 12 or 1am.. considering that you have only a few hours to sleep before starting climbing, it's not ideal.

Very good value for money, we had it for very cheap so perfect considering that we won't be sleeping much in it as we did the hike during the night. Owner is nice and the food is good plus it's at the very start of the hike.

As it is very close to the start, it can be pretty noisy. You may wanna have earplugs

The host was very friendly. Also there is a restaurant next to the Hostel which belongs to him. You can get excellent rice and curry there. Besides, the location is perfect as it is just right at the start of the Adams peak trek.

Very simple but yet absolutely sufficient accommodation. Super friendly owner and great food! Prime location at the beginning of the trail. Would definitely recommend!

The location is wonderful- close to the entrance to Adam’s Peak. The room was clean and had the mosquitoes net. The owner was friendly.

Since the accommodation is in the central area it’s quite noisy at night. The toilets are outside the building which is not comfortable at night. Also only one toilet is normal (regular) and others are just holes in the ground (squat toilets). It wasn’t fun to find out that the normal toilet was locked during the night and there was no electricity in other ones, especially then they are just holes in the ground. Finally, I was charged a bit more than it was stated on Booking.
