Palm Grove Bandarawela

Highly recommend for families with toddlers. kind staff and a very safe environment.

I was incredibly lucky to find Hashan’s guesthouse in Bandarawela. It’s not far from the bus station and market, within walking distance. Upon arriving at the guesthouse, Hashan’s mother warmly welcomed me and treated me to an incredibly delicious cup of hot milk tea. The room, though simply decorated, was very spacious. Both the room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Breakfast offered a choice between Western or traditional options, and there was a clean water dispenser available. Though the weather wasn’t hot, the provided standing fan was a nice touch. Hashan took me to a fantastic nearby restaurant for a meal. I forgot my charger at the previous hotel, and when Hashan found out, he immediately arranged for a courier to deliver it to my next hotel. His proactive and thoughtful help got it delivered from 100 km away within a day! There was some noise from a nearby school broadcast around 7 a.m., but since I was already up, it didn’t bother me much. Finally, Hashan even accompanied me to the bus station to catch my bus—so grateful! I wholeheartedly recommend Hashan’s service and guesthouse!

The only downside was the low water pressure in the bathroom, but this seems to be a common issue in Sri Lankan hotels.

Very nice and friendly family. Good value for money. Monumental breakfast.

Nothing Note for accommodation: Just be a little careful with that polish!

We stayed for two nights. The property had 5 bedrooms, of which we rented 4, however we have access to the whole house. The property is looked after by a family (son and his mother) and they are friendly, happy to go the extra mile to help the guest. The food was delicious. They are happy even to wake up early in the morning to make coffee when checking out (say 5am) or stay late night for check in.

We run of hot water on day 2, however this was fixed immediately

The cleaning was excellent, and the Hosting Was Exceptional. Very nice breakfast
