Greenline Homestay

Central location in the community lovely people, surrounded by nature and a charming train station

I liked everything

Sumedha ist ein sehr freundlicher und aufmerksamer Gastgeber. Die Kommunikation war vorbildlich und die Ankunft herzlich. Das Frühstück ist authentisch, vielseitig und sehr lecker. Die Unterkunft ist sauber und gepflegt. AC fehlt, aber ein Ventilator ist vorhanden. Für Backpacker sehr zu empfehlen!

Die Matratzen sind ziemlich hart. Das Homestay liegt direkt an der Strasse, daher ist mit etwas Lärm zu rechnen.

I was hosted by Sumedha. A lovely guy who was very helpful and friendly throughtout my stay. My room was clean and simple. In addition, this guesthouse has a great location for anyone hiking the pekoe trail.

The dinner was averqge.

Das Essen wurde zum Teil von der "Straße" geholt , zum Teil selbst zubereitet, alles gut. Die Lage ist super zentral, man ist absolut mitten in Sri Lanka angekommen. Eine Erfahrung für sich :-). Zu Fuß zum Bahnhof, in die Teeplantagen, zum Pekoe Trail nach Norden und nach Süden. Für alle Wanderer ohne Fahrzeug ein muss, hier zu übernachten :-) . Für Wanderer welche mit dem Taxi abgeliefert werden - so wie wir - eine schöne Erfahrung. Alles im direkten Umfeld zu kaufen, es gibt eine Küche welche man nutzen darf. (Fett, Salz etc. wird schnell zur Verfügung gestellt- Danke) Wir waren 3 Nächte und haben 2 Einheiten des Pekoe Trails gemacht, und haben die Zeit, wenn auch untertags mal laut, sehr genossen . Nachts absolut ruhig! Sehr gute Ablagemöglichkeit im Zimmer netter Balkon

It was so comfortable and clean with lots of space to relax indoors and outside in a lovely location in the heart of the town. Perfect for the pekoe trail and the host was so friendly and helpful. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was lovely.

Nothing. It was perfect. There was a little road noise during the day for which the host was very apologetic but it wasn’t a problem and it quietened down in the evening and we slept like logs.

Had a lovely stay at the Greenline Homestay, Sumerdha looked after us so well. Amazing location for the pekoe trail stage 16/17 it’s right beside the beginning/end. The food was absolutely delicious we had a lovely traditional dinner and breakfast and our host was always very helpful with any questions we had. The property was clean and spacious, we had our own kitchen, living area and garden area which was lovely. Thank you so much :)

Sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Perfekte Lage um den Pekoe Trail Stage 16 & 17 zu begehen Gastgeber sehr präsent und bemüht jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen

Все очень понравилось!Превосходное место! Очень чисто, уютно и с душой. Хозяин невероятно доброжелательный, всегда готов помочь — даже организовал тук-тук до станции. Ужин был вкусным, с большими порциями, а завтрак выше всяких похвал. Чувствовали себя как дома. Спасибо за гостеприимство!

Lovely place, clean comfortable, well appointed. Great staff, excellent communication and room. Good internet, hot water and food!

Was beside a busy road, but lovely for some spacious luxury on an overnight stay on Pekohe Trail.

Super clean, spacious, very close to train station and Very kind home owners. Perfect location to rest your weary feet from hiking or touristing. The breakfast was perfect!

Everything was great

The hotel is very well located for pekoe trail. The owner is genuinely kind, trying to do everything to make our stay confortable. Lovely terrasse and good food, we highly recommend!

This was one of our best stays in Sri Lanka, we felt very comfortable here, very clean room, nice hot shower, mosquito net, delicious food and such a lovely quiet place to stay after our train journey. We loved to do the train ride past Ella all the way to Demodara on the nine arch bridge. Our host Sumedha was exceptional, so helpful. We made a mistake with our train tickets and he sorted the problem for us and came to the train station to get us, he was waiting for us on the train platform. He also organised a fantastic tuk tuk tour for us in Ella which was amazing and very cheap. He was super professional, sent us pictures of the menu with prices beforehand and sent us a detailed receipt at the end. He went the extra way to help us organise anything we needed to. The food they cook is delicious and very cheap, we had all our meals there. The property has a fridge kettle and even a hob if you want to cook.

Nothing, it was perfect

Greenline Homestay is the most incredible place to stay in Sri Lanka. Our absolute favourite in Sri Lanka! Sumedha and his beautiful family were so accommodating. They made us feel so welcome. Our room was spotless and beautifully decorated. The facilities were excellent - fridge, kettle, hairdryer, iron. The shower was excellent - great hot water! On arrival we were given a cup of tea and then later in the afternoon, a herbal tea and lentil biscuits. Our dinner and breakfast were sensational. Sumedha also packed morning tea and lunch for our Pekoe Trail hike. The location is very handy for those walking the Pekoe Trail (close to Demodora station). Sumedha’s communication throughout our visit was exceptional! We highly recommend! Exceptional value for money too!

NIL!

If you are looking for a comfortable stay after finishing the Pekoe trail stage 16 (from Ella), this is the place! The host is very welcoming and friendly. They offer options for lunch, diner and breakfast. For a tired hiker, no need to leave the house anymore. There is also a kitchen, living room and terrace. Perfect to relax! Thank you so much.

4 stars for location as the house is located at the road that can get a bit noisy.

We had two nights here and it was perfect! We could not have asked for more from our host who was so kind and hospitable. We had breakfast and dinner here twice and it was all delicious. We did the pekoe trail to Ella then got a tuk tuk back; beautiful hike which we would recommend. We would highly recommend staying here, Thankyou for a lovely two day stay!

I stayed at Greenline Homestay after completing stage 16 of the Pekoe Trail. The accommodation, the service and the food were all first class. The host, Sumedha, is really on top of his game. I couldn’t fault him and what he offers. In the 16 stages of the Pekoe Trail I’ve completed so far, this place has been the best.

Very welcoming place the food was also of good quality.

The location is out the way of the overly touristy area if Ella but nearby to visit. Right on the pekoe trail

Nothing

If you would like to enjoy the great landscape, but want to avoid the overcrowded Ella, then go to Demodara and stay at the fantastic Greenline Homestay. The host just took care of everything. He picked me up from the station, organized me a driver and gave me loads of useful information. The rooms are spacious, equipped with everything you need and very clean. The value for money you get is just simply amazing. Also try the great food offered by the host, you won’t regret it.

Very clean. New and clean sheets. Big and clean bathroom, good pressure, and strong hot water. Delicious dinner and everything is very cheap. If you want to see the Nine Arch Bridge but avoid tourist places like Ella, I recommend this place. The owner arranged a tuk-tuk for us at a reasonable price for a very early morning to catch a bus to our next destination.

Everything was very good. Thank you for your hospitality!

We spent a night here between stages 16 and 17 of the Pekoe trail. I strongly recommend staying here! The owner is super friendly and will do anything he can to make this a comfortable stay for you. He also offered lunch after finishing stage 16 of the Pekoe trail, which was very convenient. The room is nice and clean, warm water is available.

Perfect location in the center of Demodara, amazing and welcoming family, beautiful big house, terrace, kitchen and living room for guests, the food was so good !!! The bedroom was very spacious, perfectly clean and with everything you need inside : hairdryer, towels, hot water, comfy bed, little balcony. It was a perfect stay honestly !! 100% recommend

Nothing

Great Host, very supportive. Clean, fully equipped plus nicely green. Very tasty, homemade food. It is super place to stay far from Ella crowd, close to calm Demodara station. All is short tuktuk trip.

I am reluctant to say how good this place was. We walked the Pekoe Trail from Hali Ela and Sumedha's place was a hidden gem. Sumedha, the host, could not have been more welcoming. He made us feel like valued guests in his house and he did everything he could to make us comfortable. The room was very clean and spacious and there is a kitchen to use and a beautiful terrace and balcony. The food was plentiful and delicious - with enough left over to be packed up to sustain us on our hike the next day. Probably the best place we have stayed so far. Visitors should be aware that Demodara is a small rural town (it's definitely not Ella and is much better for that) but from Sumedha's place you could hike up into the hills and see the most stunning scenery.

Nothing.

We stayed here after finishing Stage 16 of the Pekoe Trail, it’s a quick walk here from the end of that stage. The hotel was quiet and clean with a large room and kitchen access. The host was incredibly accommodating, working hard to help make sure we had a good experience while also attending to his kids and taking them to school. The food was great, prices up front so no surprises, highly recommend!

Clean, good shower, great food, kind host - thank you!

It was truly an amazing stay here! We walked stage 16 of the Pekoe trail and were welcomed with tea and biscuits. The room is spotless as is the modern bathroom and the host goes to all length to make your stay comfortable. It feels like a home away from home. We had both dinner and breakfast here and that was fabulous as well. Tasty and more than we could eat. The food we did not finish in the morning was packed for us to take as lunch on the walk! The host is very helpful and tries to answer all your questions; we were very pleased with that. We would highly recommend staying (and eating) here. The price is very reasonable for all you get!

I had a very nice stay at the Greenline Homestay. The room made a spacious and clean impression. The bathroom was also well maintained and really quite new. The host gave us a very friendly welcome and did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The dinner and breakfast were excellent and left nothing to be desired.

We had a really good time at Greenline Homestay. The room was very big, clean and we had a new bathroom and our own balcony. Our host was remarkably hospitable and cooked wonderfully. We always got a little extra dish for free like a salad or a jackfruit curry. Our Host knew the surrounding area very well and gave us plenty of recommendations for our trips. Furthermore, he drove us to the next monastery at 4.30am in his car for a very cheap price. This was our favourite Homestay in Sri Lanka. Really recommended!!!

There is nothing to criticise!

The caring was excellent from the staffs. The food we have taken is very good The location and the hotel is very beatiful and comfy.

My stay at Greenline Homestay was absolutely delightful. From the moment I arrived, the host's warmth and hospitality made ms feel completely at ease. The cleanliness of the place was impeccable, with tidy room providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploration. The highlight was undoubtedly the delicious food, showcasing the flavours of the region and prepared with love and care. The tranquil atmosphere added to the charm of my experience. The host's seamless communication and assistance throughout my stay ensured a hassle-free and memorable experience. I would like to highly recommend Greenline Homestay for a peaceful getaway with exceptional hospitality.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Greenline Homestay, and honestly, there was nothing I didn't like. Everything, from the hospitality to the cleanliness and food, exceeded my expectations. It was truly a memorable experience, and I look forward to returning in the future.
