Horton Mountain

I went here with my friends. They treated us very well. The food was also very tasty. A free environment and we were free to be as we wanted. If I visit the area again, I'll definitely choose this again.

Lovely property, verily simple for the price but nice location if you want to go to Horton Plains. But close to nothing else around. So best for families in order to make the journey a bit cheaper. The host can cook food for you which is super delicious!

Hosts speak no English only studied sentences. She mentioned wrong prices multiple times. Please be aware that breakfast is provided at an extra cost of 350 rupee, dinner is 700 and drop off/pick up to Horton by Jeep is around 5000 rupee or more. Additionally the host charged me more for the room than advertised on booking.com. My booking converted from USD to Sri Lankan rupee was 8000 (2 nights) but she charged me 10.000.

The people who run this place are very friendly, and the old lady cooks very nice curry, and very cheaply too. If you are a group, having the bungalow with three bedrooms and a small living room to yourself is very nice.

The overall cleanliness was not great, and one bathroom had not been cleaned at all, and had hairs in the shower and sink. Also, the staff speak very little English. I am not sure how we would have managed with a Sinhala speaker in the group.

Good location to visit Horton Planes National Park. The entrance to the park from this side is much less crowded, so starting in the morning is easier. The owners are very friendly, though speak almost no English.

The place is a local homestay. It is a very basic accomodation, but would certainly suffice for one night stay was it kept cleaner. Our one and only objection was that the bed linens and the bathroom were dirty. This was not acceptable, even for such a low price. We finally got some clean linens, but one does not want to arrive into a dirty room after a tireing trip.

Friendly staff and location

They have given my booked room to another family and we got 2 small dirty rooms instead of single family room. The bathroom was not clear. Looks like they didn't prepare those rooms for any guests. They didn't answer my calls and also they didn't call back.
