Butterfly Mountain Lake Side

We stayed at Butterfly Mountain for two nights. The hosts were four ladies who were lovely and helpful, and they gave us some great advice. The rooms were pretty basic, but they had everything we needed. The only problems were that they were a bit damp (but that's a general problem due to the climate), and the view of the lake and Adams Peak from the split terrace was amazing. We ate dinner there as well, as there aren't really any other restaurants in the area. The food was delicious and plentiful, but a little more expensive than we were used to in Sri Lanka (but maybe that's the price you pay for the location).

The price is a bit high compared to other (partly newer) accommodations we had on our trip.

What a beautiful little hotel located in such a special place in Sri Lanka.. this hotel is located down a road with the most spectacular outlook to Adams Peak. My friend and I stayed here for 2 nights as halfway stop between Adams peak and Hatton. The manager and beautiful women who run this hotel are just wonderful. The friendliest, down to earth people who made out stay even better. Outstanding hospitality. Helping out with transport, cooking the most amazing breakfast and dinners- eat here if you stay, the food is authentic and mostly from their organic garden. Accommodation is simple and clean- bed and netting, shower/ bathroom. Lovely verandah to sit and chill on. No need for mod cons to distract you. The perfect escape. Recommend here if you are wanting to get off the tourist trail and see something different in Sri Lanka, you won't be disappointed

Nothing

Beautiful lake in front. Just terrable experience. Save the money and find another place. This is the most dirty accommodation that I’ve had in my life.

Just terrable experience. Save the money and find another place. This is the most dirty accommodation that I’ve had in my life. At first we had to change the room because there was no hot water. Then the other room had terrable smell, unclean floor, mold in corners of the room and bathroom, all of the pillows had stains, even blood stains and the towels were dirty. When I asked to clean and change they brought another towels that were as dirty as the others. I wanted to stay for 3 nights, but complained and asked to change to one night, as it was too late to find another accommodation. At first they said it is impossible and have to pay for all 3 nights. Later they asked to wait till midnight, to confirm the change in my booking, but I did not agree, as I wanted it to be changed now. Two hours later they changed it to one night, but when I woke up in the morning, during the midnight they had marked us as no show and cancelled the whole thing in order not to pay the comission to booking.com and to avoid me leaving the review. Terrable scammers, terrable service and terrably dirty place. Breakfast was good, dinner (pasta) was not eatable.

The location with views over the reservoir is absolutely stunning. The rooms are spacious, clean, simple and comfortable with hot water. The family and staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. The surrounding waterfalls, tea plantations, villages, mountains and of course Adam's Peak, make Maskeliya a perfect place to visit. I loved it here and I'm sure you will too.

It’s in such a beautiful location and convenient to nearby Laxapana and Adams peak The owner and staff really can’t do enough for you and are so helpful and friendly. The homemade food is also fantastic!!

Clean, nice location, everything we needed. Beautiful view over the lake

Amazing view to the lake and to Adam's peak mountain! The staff was really kind and the food was great! It is in a wonderful location and we loved everything in this place! Best place to relax before or after climbing the Adam's peak!
