Bandara Villa Nuwaraeliya

Fantastyczny nocleg. Wspaniały manager, pyszne śniadania. Pokój czysty, ładny, dobrze wyposażony. Spokojna okolica.

Schönes Interior Design, Fernseher im Zimmer

Heruntergekommene und extrem verlassene Umgebung. Es scheint vor einiger Zeit ein Gastgeber-Wechsel gegeben zu haben. Der Gastgeber, den wir trafen, hat leider kaum Englisch gesprochen und wirkte insgesamt überfordert

Der erste Eindruck war sehr schön und modern, schönes Haus. Mit toller Dekoration. Der Empfang durch den Hausangestellten war kühl, er sei neu hier und kenne sich noch nicht aus. Entgegen anderen Rezensionen wollte uns hier auch auf Nachfrage niemand Abendessen zubereiten, blöd, wenn man so weit außerhalb ist. Von den Zimmern hatte man Aussicht auf einen Haufen Schutt und ein Feuer zum Müll verbrennen vom Nachbarn. Die umliegenden Gebäude sind nicht gerade einladend.

Wir hatten bei einem Zimmer ein dreckiges Bett, der Boden war naß. Das Dach undicht und eine Eiskalte Dusche, wir bekamen ein anders Zimmer. Die Treppenstufen waren teilweise wackelig und lose. Es lag Abfall im Empfangsbereich auf dem Boden, die Esstische waren eingestaubt. Das Frühstück können wir nicht loben, ranzige Butter, Marmelade, einige nasse halbe Toastscheiben und ein flüssiges Chickencurry ohne Reis oder Fladenbrot, das Besteck wurde schnell beim Nachbarn geholt, Tee gab es nur auf Nachfrage, kein guter Start in den Tag. Die Küche haben wir erst bei der Abreise gesehen, kein Kommentar. Wir sind schon länger in Sri Lanka unterwegs und wissen, wie es hier so läuft aber das war nichts - schade.

Man war auf unsere Anreise überhaupt nicht vorbereitet. Schmutzig im ganzen Haus. Rings ums Haus nur Schutt und Baustellen. Extrem weit abgelegen. Haben dort nicht übernachtet.

Nichts. Haben auf die Übernachtung verzichtet.

Man war auf unsere Ankunft überhaupt nicht vorbereitet. Haus war dreckig. Gelbe Kopfkissen lagen massenweise rum. Außenanlage vermüllt. Haus zwischen lauter Bauruinen und Müllbergen. Liegt sehr sehr abgelegen. Haben uns andere Übernachtung suchen müssen. Nie wieder.

Perfekt für eine Übernachtung. Komfortables großes Bett mit schöner Aussicht auf die Berge. Netter Gastgeber, der uns abends spontan ein Dinner gekocht hat. Frühstück war lecker. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis

Es ist Recht weit außerhalb der Stadt, aber dafür nur 20 Minuten vom Bahnhof ambewala entfernt, von wo aus momentan die Züge nach Ella starten. Frühstückstoast war Schimmelig...

Rent og veldig godt service og mat!

Ingenting

La gentillesse de notre hôte. Aux petits soins. De très bons conseils et toujours disponible. Il prepare aussi un excellent petit déjeuner.

L'emplacement a l'avantage d'être très tranquille mais à être dans les montagnes est un peu humide et les tuk-tuk sont un peu récalcitrant à y aller depuis Nuwara-Eliya sans un pourboir.

Wonderful staff. Nice location. Delicious breakfast and super dinner. Everything was upto the mark. Only small suggestion to put a room heater to control the temperature.

Room was little noisy

Es absolutament PRECIÓS! Està decorat amb molt bon gust, tot amb fusta bonissima, les habitacions super comodes, dutxa bonissima, llits molt bons, tv amb netflix, el menjar bonissim i super abundant! Servicials a més no poder, super amables i atents!

Vam tenir una arribada amb boira, pluja i vent q no veiem res per la carretera i per la nit ha continuat. hi havia molt soroll per culpa del vent.

Location

It really exceeded our expectations. The room was very clean and comfortable. The dinner was very well prepared, and the breakfast was also very tasty and varied. I would like to mention all the staff who were always very attentive and dedicated to their service. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable, and the entire premises were very well maintained. They were kind enough to give us an extra blanket before we even asked since it was a bit cold. Highly recommended.

Zuvorkommender Gastgeber, gutes Frühstück und Abendessen nach Wunsch zu günstigem Preis (ca. 1000 LKR). TukTuk für Ausflüge wurde über den Gastgeber organisiert.

Im Zimmer und Bad fehlen Heizkörper/Heizlüfter bei kühlem, feuchten, windigen Wetter draußen (was nicht untypisch ist). Dadurch dringt Feuchtigkeit in Zimmer und Bad ein, Schimmel war erkennbar. Erst auf Nachfrage haben wir einen Heizlüfter bekommen (den einzigen des Hauses), die Nacht zuvor ohne war sehr kalt. Auch im Essbereich ist es entsprechend kühl und nicht gemütlich länger zu verweilen bei den Temperaturen. Haus ist der sehr abgelegen von Nuwara Eliya. In der direkten Umgebung nichts sehenswertes oder zum Einkehren.

excellent

nothing

Lovely position , remote but lovely views . It’s high attitude and the weather can be unpredictable, you need warm clothes and waterproofs . Wonderful food Cheerful kind helpful staff .

I can definitely say that it was the most unique stay we had during our Sri Lanka trip. Even though it was completely full of guests that day, they were quick to accommodate all our needs. They arranged vehicles for our transportation needs at a very reasonable price which was a great convenience for us. The wide screen TV with Netflix Prime Video, the super comfortable bed should be mentioned. The entire staff is very friendly and always strives to provide the highest level of service. The food and drinks are delicious, the entire premises are very clean and well maintained and we can say that it exceeded our expectations. A highly recommended place to stay for anyone visiting Nuwara Eliya.

Het ligt op een plek waar veel onafgebouwde huizen staan. De buitenkant is wat shabby met één overwoekerde tuin maar binnen is het een 4 ster prachtig boutique hotel. Een paradijsje. De douche is warm, de kamers comfortabel. We hadden een 10 gegeven als ze de dakplaat hadden gerepareerd. Schijnbaar is die al een maand stuk. Zonder oordoppen kun je hier niet slapen. Continu hard geklepper. Nog een tip, Loop 100 m verder en je hebt opeens uitzicht op een prachtig meer!

Het geklepper van de kapotte dakplaten. De tuin die niet aangelegd is. Beiden makkelijk te fixen

Absolutely perfect stay! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful throughout our entire stay. The service was top-notch—every request was handled promptly and with a smile. The location was ideal, close to everything we needed but still peaceful and relaxing. The food was delicious, with a great variety for every taste, and the dining area was clean and inviting. The amenities were excellent as well. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped. We especially loved the 42'smart TV with Netflix and Prime. Great value for the money.  Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we can't wait to come back. Highly recommended!

Zeer mooi huis met veel ruimte en fijne zithoekjes. Heel fijne en vriendelijke ontvangst. De bedden waren zeer comfortabel, we hebben onmiddellijk een extra donsdeken gekregen toen we dit vroegen. Netflix en Prime was beschikbaar en werkte goed, net zoals de wifi. Het ontbijt was heel goed en afwisselend (verblijf van 3 nachten). Bij een vroeg vertrek naar Horton Plains NP werd een lekker ontbijtpakket klaargemaakt. Wij hebben ook 3x gedineerd, het eten werd vers klaargemaakt tegen het afgesproken uur en we mochten mee beslissen wat er op tafel kwam!

Het enige minpunt was de vochtigheid in het huis waardoor er veel schimmelvorming op de muren was (slaapkamers, badkamers, eetruimte). Dit heeft uiteraard ook te maken met het vochtige klimaat en de hevige regenbuien maar was voor ons wel echt een grote domper op ons verblijf, wetende dat je in een kamer moet slapen die slecht is voor je gezondheid (en die van je kinderen). De eigenaar doet alles om het zo hygiënisch mogelijk te houden maar schimmel krijg je niet weggewerkt met een laagje verf.

Great villa and extremely helpful people working here. Pleasant atmosphere and very good food.

We were visiting during really bad weather conditions (low temperature, strong wind and heavy rain) and experienced some issues: - there was a loud noise from loose metal sheets on roof, - water came inside through windows and walls, so the room was quite humid with beginning of mold grow in some places. And there was no AC or heater to dry the room. In general it's a very good place, but it requires some maintenance: fix roof sheets, waterproof windows and walls (and probably dry it with a heater to prevent mold growing).

After spending 4 days in the sunny eastern region, we arrived in Nuwara Eliya and the cold weather was a pleasant experience. We had a different experience at Appleton Villa, located in a windy area with strong fog and strong winds. You should definitely experience it. The very clean and well-appointed room, spacious smart TV, bathroom with modern amenities and a very comfortable bed, gave us great value for the money we paid. The varied breakfast was very tasty. Our short stay at Appleton Villa was a wonderful experience with the most hospitable staff.

The accommodation is so beautiful although it’s far, the worker was so kind

Amazing Experience The Host Jaswinder was very kind and hospitable

It is truly a nice place, the entire premises are meticulously maintained, The staff were very friendly and always committed to providing us with the best service from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. The room was very clean and everything was prepared with great care. The bed was super-comfortable and the linens were spotless and soft. Everything was of the highest standard. The bathroom was spotlessly clean and had modern amenities. The breakfast was very well-prepared with a variety Everything was at the highest level, exceeding our expectations. Highly recommended.

Suresh and his team were great hosts. They helped us organize trips to Horton Plains, Nuwara Eliya and the train station. They were very accomodating and prepared great breakfast and dinner for us. The villa is ~15-20 min ride to Nuwara Eliya city center, but it is ideally loacted to go to the Horton Plain national Park. The room and interior is modern and equipped with everything we needed.

It was truly a unique experience. The overall cleanliness. Friendly hospitality from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, modern amenities in the room and bathroom. (Netflix, Prime Video, wide-screen smart TV with high-speed Wi-Fi connection) The dinner we had was the best dinner we have ever had in Sri Lanka for such a reasonable price. The breakfast was very delicious with variety. This is truly the best accommodation we have had in Sri Lanka. They always have their own unique identity. That's great,

The Appleton Villa is a peaceful and beautiful place to visit. The rooms are comfortable, nicely decorated, and clean. The food was delicious! The host was amazing and really goes above and beyond to make your stay the best. I highly recommend this place.

breakfast was really amazing and location was very bad far far away from city centre and also images shown does not match

location is not good at all

Nice view, delicious food, good wifi

Hot water doesn’t last long

Our room had the most comfy beds we have ever tried in Sri Lanka! The linen were also clean and fresh. Chaminda was a really good host and prepared an abundant feast for breakfast. The rooms are spacious enough. The hot water is really a plus as the area is often cooler than the rest of the island. Having access to a connected TV was also a plus. We recommend for sure.

The experience was exceptional and highly recommended! Everything was handled smoothly, with great attention to detail and professionalism. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the service exceeded expectations. It was a truly remarkable experience, leaving a lasting impression.

Wonderful villa once you get there but sadly quite far out of the town. Hosts very kind and helped us to dry our clothes which were pretty damp, however there was a miscommunication over ordering transportation.

Thanks Appleton….! What a tremendous hospitality we received. I personally don’t give 10/10 to anyone . For some reason I see these people how much service oriented. We stay one night near city of Nuwaraeliya. Staying in town is expensive for everything . Then we booked Appleton. We had a great chit chat with Mr Chaminda who revealed how much they care about their guest. Bathrooms were fully loaded with all amenities with top qualities appliances. Over roll we’re fully satisfied.

It's a little far off Nuwara Eliya, so if you're looking for a calm, quiet place where you can see the mountains while having a cup of tea, that's the right place. Chaminda was super friendly and always helpful. We had a very good time.

Nicely decorated, new and clean hotel near Nuwara Eliza (about 20-25 minutes by car). Very friendly manager and staff, putting in a lot of effort to make the guests feel comfortable. Rooms are adequately sized, bathrooms are a little small but sufficient. The shower could be improved with a curtain. Good, plentiful breakfast with a different variety of dishes every day. Excellent problem solving: one night, a water pipe burst above our room and we got rained on. The manager and staff reacted very quickly and prepared another room for within 20 minutes. Things like that can happen, the quick and kind reaction shows the quality. Thanks a lot for that!

The outside and the balconies still aren’t finished. The neighborhood is a little run down but looks safe. You need to have transport or organize with the manager to get picked up.

It was absolutely perfect same as shown in the pictures and even better very comfortable the view from the room was very nice even though it’s cold outside it was somewhat warm and nice inside the room The person who welcomed us Chaminda was the most amazing host and treated us very well the food was amazing best regards to the chef They even arranged a tuk tuk for us to get back to the train station. Will surely be back love love love the place wish we would’ve stayed for a few more days

Appleton Villa is a true hidden gem in the middle of nowhere—exactly the kind of place you dream of discovering! The villa is incredibly stylish, with an elegant design and a cozy atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the staff was beyond attentive, ensuring we had the most comfortable stay. We were welcomed with a lovely cup of tea, and though we weren’t hungry, the mouthwatering aromas from the kitchen were hard to resist. The next morning, we were treated to an absolutely incredible breakfast. The entire stay was flawless—smooth check-in and check-out, spotless cleanliness, and a wide range of services available. The villa also offers super-fast WiFi, streaming channels in the room, and spacious, beautifully designed accommodations. If you're looking for a peaceful yet luxurious escape near Nuwara Eliya, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommended! 🌿✨

We road tripped Sri Lanka and have stayed in 5 hotels. Appleton was by far the best one with the most helpful staff. Highly recommended

The room has the required amenities to make the stay comfortable. The staff were great. The breakfast buffet was good. The cook even took the trouble to make Kolakanda as requested.

It’s a new property. There are no views of some nice scenery from the balcony. They will need to plant trees or shrubs to offer a nice view from the balconies.

Excellent service and the room was very clean and comfortable.

A modern building with 5 rooms I think and nice communal sitting area and dinning room. The room was spacious and well equipped with nice white cotton linen and towels. The Manager was very friendly and went out of his way to help organising transport and a tour of the area. The house is with other houses but a good tuk tuk ride from town and the station. This was fine for us as once back at the end of the day we were happy to watch tv and eat and drink at the house. Breakfast and dinner had choice options and all the meals were really good and excellent value. We enjoyed our two nights immensely.

Some of the houses nearby are a bit scruffy and some still under construction. There was a little noise at times but this wasn't a problem for us.

Nice villa and the stuff are amazing

The location very far from the city

Comfort ,Cleanliness and the amenities which they offered for this price not even expensive hotels will be provided. This one we got to know after experiencing other accommodation where we were in Sri Lanka. For Appleton Villa it’s all about service and caring while others only the money. The best thing that happened there was the welcoming and outstanding hospitality from staff who made our stay enjoyable.They are very professional, understanding, welcoming and caring. They exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend the Appleton Villa.

What an amazing service . So far we had not have received such a great hospitality from other places where we were in Sri Lanka. We arrived in Nanuoya from Kandy. Tuk Tuk drivers around the station were absolutely pushy to grab us to the place in different prices. However, we called the Appleton they organized a Tuk Tuk in fair price. No headache at all. They have provided fresh towels and bathroom amenities . As I got to know those shampoos and body lotion are the same supplier who supply the goods to Colombo well known 5 star hotels. Once we arrived the Appleton Villa we relaxed and had a great sleep in most comfortable bed I had in Sri Lanka. They are not spin mattress. The Dinner prepared for us upon our request really tasty . The following day after breakfast we leaved to Ella . We took Tuk Tuk to Nuwareliya town which is around 20minutes and see around a bit and went to Ella by Bus. Thanks to the Appleton staff who are always with smile for helping hand.

This is the best place we have been in Sri Lanka. In terms of value for money, service and amenities. Which we noticed is that they are attention to details in every aspect. We really felt like home . We had dinner at Appleton, where I was super surprised with their reasonable price. Which’s the half of price we spent for lunch in Nuwaraeliya city center. Few things you should know when you travel Nuwara eliya. If you travel by your own vehicle there is no better place than this. This located between Nanuoya railway station and Nuwarael iya town. From the Appleton Villa to Nuwareliya town is exactly 5.9 Km which is 15 min to city center. What make you feel like as far is when the driver doesn’t know the road or else some Tuk Tuk driver want to charge extra that is why. Always take advise from the staff then you will be saved. Nuwara eliya itself is not a place to stay more than 2 days specially raining time. Overall we are quite happy with star class services.

-Chaminde was very friendly and helpful. He tried to accommodate us and always had a smile on. -Amazon prime and fast internet (especially handy for rainy days) -Very comfortable bed and warm shower -Free tea, coffee and water in the room and always provided

-Moldy room. The window was broken which made the room very cold and humid. Even with a heater (which was provided) we were cold and uncomfortable. We asked to change room but it was not possible due to the fact they were fully booked. -Location is really far from Nuwara Eliya (a bit less than 30 min by tuk tuk) which adds extra costs to the stay (about 1300 rs each way). There is nothing to do around the villa. -We stayed 3 nights because we wanted to have a few slow days but this is totally too long. I would recommend 1 maximum 2 if you arrive late by train.

Exuded quality in every way. The accommodation was a new build and finished to an exceptional standard. The beds were the most comfortable of our stay in Sri Lanka, even Netflix and Prime were provided for those who wanted to have a good choice of TV stations. There was plentiful hot water and air con and WiFi functioned perfectly, not always the case in other places where we stayed . In our opinion, the food and service could not be faulted, and Suresh, the owner, was an impeccable host, and provided a very personal service. The accommodation is out of town but easily accessible by a short Tuktuk ride. It suited our needs as we welcomed a chilled stay. Thank you Suresh and your team for everything. Gill and Nick

We wished we could have stayed longer!

Brand new house, very friendly, breakfast so much, you cannot eat all

Hard to find

Everything was literally perfect about this place. When we came Suresh and his staff welcomed us with open arms and immediately took care of our luggage where you don’t see everywhere. We got to have a conversation with Suresh himself for 1.5 hours about him and his life and to say the least he was one of the most interesting people we have ever met and I mean that in a good way. His way of thinking is extraordinary and he got a beautiful vision of what life is. Our needs and questions was taken care of as quickly and Suresh and his staff could and they even washed our clothes. Me and my girlfriends best stay in Sri Lanka without a doubt. Next time we’re going to Sri Lanka we are coming back here.

Everything was perfect.

Everything! This is a luxury boutique homestay. The fresh white linen on a comfy bed, fluffy pillows, extra blankets, streaming channels on smart TV, and hot showers made this the best stay in Sri Lanka. There is fast internet to get work done. The breakfast is incredible. Most of all, Chaminda is the kindest host! The home is a drive out of town in a remote village.

I hardly grade any stay with a 10, but this one deserves it completely! By far, the best place we stayed at in Sri Lanka! The hosts were amazing, always attentive, super kind, polite and had attention to every single detail. The food was great (we had breakfast, lunch and dinner). The room was out of this world, super comfortable, clean, cosy, and warm. We caught a storm while we were there, so there was not much to do outdoors, luckily there was streeming service so we spent the afternoon watching a movie to spend the time. The shower had the perfect temperature and pressure, and they had all the ameneties! Honestly, I was super happy with our stay!! Thank you so much!

There’s nothing I’d change.

One of the best rooms I’ve stayed in in Sri Lanka. The villa interior is modern and beautiful. Exceptionally clean, well equipped room and with great amenities. Tea/coffee, nice toiletries, spotless bathroom, comfortable bed, TV/netflix. The staff were absolutely amazing - I made the booking very last minute and they really took care of me, which is important for a solo female traveller. Very warm welcome. The breakfast was very nice. Yes, the villa might be a few km outside town, but it’s a short tuk tuk ride. Amazing value for money. Highly recommended.

Highly Recommendations ✊👌

By far the best accommodation we have stayed in so far in Sri lanka. It is a bit further outside of Nuwara Eliya but this is more than worth it!! With your own tuktuk or car it is easily reachable. The room is very clean and has everything you could wish for (even netflix and prime on the tv!). The hosts are also amazing and will do anything to make your stay rememberable. The value for money is out of this world for this one.

Location is a bit further from the citycenter.

Once you walk through the front door, the attention to detail, finishes and cleanliness is extraordinary. The high-tech lighting and door looks are a great touch. The hospitality and food were amazing. We had a fantastic Sri Lankan dinner and breakfast was plentiful and delicious.

The exterior of the property was the only downside, the lawns and paving to the front door need attention. Whilst not the fault of our hosts, multiple houses under construction around the property detracts.

Everything was so good! A great place to chill and rest

Just the location of the villa. It is pretty far from the city center, and it is hard to take a walk around that area after 6pm because it gets really dark.

Property is clean and tidy. Breakfast was excellent, Host Chaminda was super friendly.

Delicious Foods Amazing Hospitality Comfy Rooms with new tech

Nothing to say

Beautiful villa, extremely comfortable, well designed and luxurious. Mr Suresh and Mr Chaminda are wonderful host and Totally go overboard in helping guests👌Thanks for the lovely breakfast and all the meals you served!!
