The Nest by Amarasinghe's

We booked two double‑bed rooms after seeing attractive photos online and paid a 50 % advance. When we arrived with our family, the rooms were nothing like the advertised double beds; instead they had simply pushed two single beds together. The rooms were poorly maintained, the floors were dirty, and the bathrooms were unhygienic and clearly not cleaned properly. When we complained, the hotel management casually said the better rooms had already been given to other guests because of the holiday season, but they never informed us about this before taking our advance payment. This feels very misleading and unprofessional. Despite providing low‑quality rooms, they still charged the full rate shown for the better rooms online. Since it was around 10 PM, raining heavily, and we were traveling with family, we had no practical option to cancel and search for another hotel. Very disappointing experience and definitely not worth the money.

“Hidden gem in Haputale with amazing views”

We were offered a great side room with a huge balcony, which turned out to be a real highlight. From the outside the place looks quite simple, but once inside it feels like a “backpacker’s posh” setup, very thoughtfully designed with small details that really suit a western traveler. The room was spacious, clean, and practical, with plenty of hooks and storage for gear. The bathroom was excellent, with a proper separate shower and good quality shampoo and shower gel. The balcony views were stunning and we spent a lot of time just enjoying them. The location is peaceful, sheltered from the wind and away from the town noise, yet still convenient with a shortcut up to the hilltop. The garden is beautiful, full of flowers, and the large lobby area is perfect to relax or meet other travelers. It has a nice mountain lodge vibe. Breakfast was generous and really good, with eggs, toast, fruits, yogurt, rotis and proper coffee. The owners are very friendly and helpful, which made the stay even better. The last part of the road can be a bit tricky with sharp turns, especially if arriving by car, but it is manageable.

“The Oldest in Haputale”

The staff were kind, the view was inspiring, and the nights were quiet for sleeping. No internet upstairs. The road was really challenging.

A haven of tranquility, wonderful nature, a beautiful guest house, great cuisine and breakfast. All arrangements for transport and excursions. Must‑visit in Haputale.

“Un peu tristounet mais accueil correct et tarif très attractifs avec un environnement sympa”

The price was very attractive. The furniture was worn out.
