Horton Mountain

The location is good for visits to Horton Plains. The home cooked food was nice.

The room had crumbling plaster of the walls and mouldy pillow cases. Worth noting this is pretty common in Sri Lanka as it is always humid. But still, not very nice when you do encounter it. The room price is on par with other much nicer properties I have stayed in on my trip. Again, worth considering that the owners are a family in a small rural area so it’s not fair to hold it against them to not benchmark themselves against other places in bigger towns and cities.

This place is located in a peaceful and quiet environment uphill, with a stream running close by and within walking distance to the Ohiya Railway Station. The room and bathroom were simple and clean with adequate facilities. There is also a shared space for dining. It can be kinda chilly early in the morning and at night. It is managed by a lovely couple who warmly welcomed me with tea. They have been very friendly, helpful, and hospitable throughout my stay. Also prepared delicious Sri Lankan food upon request, and the prices are very reasonable as well. They further assisted me in arranging a ride to Horton Plains National Park and introduced me to another wonderful person named 'Rupasinghe'. He was very informative about the attractions / viewpoints and helped me with my travel plans too. I would happily recommend this place if you're planning to visit Horton Plains National Park, Devil's Staircase, or Bambarakanda Falls.

Internet access and cellular reception is limited in this area.

Nice hotel. Basic room, but the owners were really friendly and good. They made me a big dinner, arranged a Tuk Tuk to get to World’s End and gave me a packed lunch. Ohiya is also a nice location. Recommended if you’re there.

The hostess was absolutely adorable and so nice to us. Her food was delicious. The place is located in a beautiful environment.

The place is located at 15 min by foot from the train station, uphill. If you don't like to walk, need a tuk tuk.

The Sri Lankan rice and curry was super and I could not have asked for more. The way it was served was also super special. The room was comfortable and I had no complaints. The hotel is virtually inside a forest reseve and the environment is calm, soothing and enchanting with the sounds of bear monkeys heard in the mornings. They can also be seen in the trees not wanting to be disturned. I recomment this place to anyone who wants to savour fine Sri Lankan rice and curry and have the peace and comfort of being in the wild. It is also a kilo metre away from the Ohiya railway station and the Horton Plains world heritage listing. Best regards to the couple who made by three day stay very confortable.

Nice poeple that own the place, very helpful, good food, confortable room and quiet

It was an extremely nice stay! The people were really nice and even organized a pickup from the trainstation (without us asking for it:). In the morning we wanted to leave at 5:30 to the Horton Plains and they even proposed to give us lunch packages at that time! (We had to decline since we had already bought some snacks but I would have loved to do that!) Dinner was also proposed to prepare at 9 or 10 pm! Which we sadly also had already eaten. But all these offers were really nice and the room itself was also very nice and clean:)

The property is fairly close to the train station. While at first glance the price may seem a bit high for the quality of the room, the meals are excellent and cheap. When you consider both together, the value's quite good.

There's no wi-fi, but I was able to get online at the Icy Falls restaurant just up the road.
