Guest Reviews
- Anna (7/5): - Was exactly what we payed for. Close to Adam’s Peak. Staff were awesome and super friendly. Phone kept ringing during the night. They must be popular!
- Agnese (10/5): Highly recommended if you going to climb Adams peak - Very welcoming stuff, view of Adams peak from the room window
- Beate (10/5): Einfach super - Bereits zun2ten Mal war ich dort. Die Lage ist ideal für den Aufstieg zum Sri Pada(Adam‘s Peak) Der Emofang war sehr herzlich. Dushyabth und sein Team sind außergewöhnlich freundlich und hilfsbereit.Zimmer sehr sauber und haben alles was man braucht. Vom Balkon hatte man einen fantastischen Blick zum heiligen Berg. Abendessen als Büfett hervorragend. Mein Geburtstag war am 18.3. und Dushyabth und Team haben sich viel Mühe gegeben mir den Tag besonders zu machen. Zum Aufstieg 1.30a.m. Erhielt ich Proviant mit vielen guten Wünschen und nach der Rückkehr wurde gefeiert mit extra gebackenen Geburtstagskuchen. Im Zimmer konnte gemütlich noch geduscht und gepackt werden bevor es weiterging.
Zimmerpreis incl. Mahlzeiten 22€ das doppelte wert und auch für die Unterkunft des Fahrers ist für 6€
. bestens gesorgt.
Es war ein großartiger Geburtstag und danke dem Team vielmals und wünsche ihnen alles Gute für die Zukunft!
- Joey (9/5): - Das Zimmer mit Glasfront und direktem Blick auf den Adam’s Peak war absolut überwältigend!
Das Personal war super freundlich, hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Wir haben Tipps für den Aufstieg bekommen (z. B. wann man am besten startet) und auf Nachfrage wurde uns ein sehr guter Tuk-Tuk-Fahrer organisiert, der uns durch die Teeplantagen und zu einem Wasserfall gebracht hat. Man merkt an einigen Stellen, dass das Zimmer etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist und sich mancher Schmutz einfach schon festgesetzt hat.
In der Dusche gab es nur sehr wenig Wasserdruck und das Wasser war nicht immer warm. Das Personal hat sich zwar sofort um das Problem gekümmert, allerdings hat sich die Situation danach nicht deutlich verbessert.

- Julian (10/5): Super Aussicht, tolles Personal - Perfekt um nachts zum Adam Peak zu laufen. Servicepersonal ist super lieb und aufmerksam. Sie haben uns alles erklärt und auch unsere Weiterfahrt organisiert. Danke noch einmal für den guten Service. Wir würden definitiv wiederkommen!
Die Aussicht vom Frühstück und Abendessen war auch super schön und das Essen super lecker.
In der benachbarten Bar kann man Billard spielen!
- susantha (8/5): It was a short stay and enjoy the stay - It’s very convenient to the entrances to the sripada The food was delicious
- Lilla (10/5): -
- Artur (9/5): Comfy place with a gorgeous view of Adam's peak - The staff was really friendly and hospitable. One staff member Manu explained how to reach Adam's peak at night and what to expect there. The food they make is tasty, a lot of variety in breakfast as well. For the price I have paid it is a very reasonable place with decent room, nice food, staff and view. There is nothing to mention since I have spent only one night here as my goal was to reach the Adam's peak only and leave in the morning. I slept for a short night as the climb started at 2 a.m.
- Vinte (6/5): Deloc confortabil - Locatia si personalul Foarte vechi și deteriorat , plin de tantari

- Murielle (10/5): - Emplacement, chambre, nourriture, vue sur le pic Adam's tout y est tout est parfait. Sans compter le dévouement du personnel Ne pas payer par CB
- Cornelius (9/5): - Very Friendly and Well organized staff! The accomodation Looks very good. Some of us couldnt sleep at all because of dozens of mosquitoes inside the room. In the first hour, one of us got about 10 bites. A net around the bed would have been nice.
- Juliette (7/5): -
- Flavia (10/5): Vista mozzafiato e cibo squisito - Posizione e vista incredibile. Il personale è stato super gentile e ci ha preparato dei pasti deliziosi. Ci hanno dato anche dei consigli pratici e utili per affrontare al meglio la salita ad Adam’a peak.
- Carlos (10/5): -
- valentino (10/5): - Friendly staff, super kind and keen to help us.
- Nicole (10/5): Perfekte Lage, perfekter Preis, perfektes Personal - Mano hat uns direkt herzlich empfangen und sich um uns perfekt gekümmert! Das hat einen ganz besonderen Charme, etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber trotzdem lebendig. Mano hat direkt für uns gekocht und wir haben lecker gegessen! Außerdem hat er uns zum Bach geführt wo wir unsere Füße kühlen konnten und den Aufstieg zu adams peak erklärt! Das Hotel hat auch einen Pool Tisch an welchem wir gespielt haben. Wirklich ein super Aufenthalt und es hat an nichts gefehlt!

- Hashan (10/5): A truly warm and thoughtful stay with stunning views and exceptional hospitality. - We stayed here while visiting Maskeliya, and it was a wonderful experience. The place itself was lovely, with an incredible view, and the staff were truly amazing—friendly, thoughtful, and kind. We were traveling by motorbike (which I wouldn’t recommend during the rainy season), and it rained heavily during our stay. Without us even asking, the staff offered us irons to help dry our clothes and gave us free disposable rain jackets when we were checking out. It was such a thoughtful and helpful gesture. We’ll definitely stay here again the next time we visit Maskeliya!
- Shane (10/5): Exceptional -

- Buddhi (1/5): Bad experience - Don’t like After booking through booking.com hotel said they can’t provide rooms
- Hull (10/5): Exceptional - We had a beautiful room where you could see Adam’s peak while lying in bed. The room is clean and large, the restaurant and staff are nice. It’s a great location for the Adam’s Peak hike, you can walk straight from the hotel and it’s easy to find the way.
- Garret (10/5): Exceptional -
- Roshika (8/5): Convenient location to climb Adam's Peak - Very convenient location to climb Adam's Peak. Exceptionally friendly staff. Food was little expensive but tasty. Bathroom fittings were little loose (the sink) and could use a little work. There is a bar and tiny convenience shop for snacks.
- Bimsara (8/5): Very good -

- Maja (10/5): Exceptional - We had a pleasant stay. Everything was clean, and the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant had good options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is a good accommodation to do the Adams Peak hike.
- Kularatna (9/5): Superb -
- Kularatna (9/5): Helpful staff with all required amenities. - Staff was helpful and positive people, who puts their customers first. It could have been swept more like in the corridors and should be more child friendly.
- Heike (9/5): Superb - The staff was outstanding 👏
- Liyanage (8/5): Very good -
- Marina (8/5): Good hotel near the Adams Peak - Location to go for Adams Peak. Room is spacious. We had a family room with a balcony and view to the peak. Low pressure of the shower and no shampoo etc... room is simple but good enough for a short stay
- Karma (9/5): The staff- especially Ramesh, Pradeep, Mano and Darshan - The staff were the highlight of our trip especially Ramesh, Pradeep, Mano and Darshan. Accommodating a group of 15 is not an easy job but they were always cheerful and very helpful no matter the time. They helped us prep for our hike, giving the best advice. Special props to Ramesh who went with us on the hike assisting one of the oldest members of our group. The property is relatively close to Adam’s Peak and the food was palatable as well especially the breakfast. Some of the amenities were a bit run down, some linen not the cleanest (towel) but the friendly and helpful nature of the staff beats all of that.
- Björn (10/5): Exceptional Stay with Views - Our experience at this hotel was truly wonderful. The staff and manager were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We were grateful to receive an early check-in, which added to our comfort.
The room was spacious, comfortable, and offered exceptional value for money. The restaurant and our room both featured breathtaking views of Adam’s Peak, creating a serene and picturesque atmosphere. We also thoroughly enjoyed the dinner, which was well-prepared and delicious.
Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay! Bathroom cannot locked from inside. Hopefully fix it sooner

- Michael (9/5): Superb - Pradeep and Mano were really nice and helpful.
- A (7/5): Good - Staff always friendly and willing to help. The bathroom was run down and the hot water did not work.

- Erin (9/5): Great locations for climbing Adams Peak. - A great location for climbing Adams Peak. Staff were so attentive and helpful giving us tips for climbing Adams Peak. Room was clean with a beautiful view. The bar area and pool table was a nice addition. Great value for money. There was little hot water however this is something we have experienced in most hotels in Sri Lanka so did not bother us too much.
- Samuel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wasaam (7/5): Friendly staff and good location - The staff were super friendly. Location was great. It was right by a river which you could get into and has a good view of Adam's Peak. The hot water wasn't great. Also there was a bee hive next to the room and some of them started coming into the room which was quite scary. On the upside, the staff was ever ready to get them out of the room.
- Bennet (8/5): Very good - The sarounings
- Rezath (6/5): Pleasant -
- Kanchana (10/5): Highly recommended! - My stay was truly memorable. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and attentive, ensuring a smooth check-in process.

- Rome (8/5): A truly unique hotel experience that we would do again! - A fantastic, quirky hotel experience - which we all loved! It was an easy walk to start Adam's Peak and the staff were so helpful. Mano made our stay with his energy, enthusiasm and fantastic music selection at dining times!
- Zegna (9/5): Superb - just the facts: good convenient location, comfortable and clean room, good food although not such a large selection, friendly and helpful hotel staff. I would give 4+ out of 5. And this is all just about the hotel, but you will get simply excellent impressions for what you came here ;) there was no fish or green tea on the menu, but that's not a problem, just a preference...and that's just my preference!
- Lone (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were very friendly. There was a good parking place. The food was a little bit expensive but very delicious. There was a beautiful view from the room.

- Ryan (9/5): Great place to start and finish your pilgrimage/ hike to Sri Padaya - Really great views of Adams Peak and the river. Close to the start of the trail. Includes a painted map of the Adams Peak hike in the dining area.
Cool little local pub on site with pool table. Really helpful staff, giving advice on the Adams Peak hike. Food and drinks were good quality and good value. Great breakfast. Bedding sheets and towels had been used too many times and were starting to show their age. Shower was a bit weak and not too hot (but this is common in Sri Lanka so you just get used to it).
- Poppy (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed two nights here for my birthday to climb Adams peak! The hotel was perfect walking distance to the climb and the staff at the hotel are super helpful and will answer any questions you have. As the hotel wasn’t very busy (off-season) they upgraded our room for free with an amazing view and great comfy beds. The staff all had amazing customer service and really made our stay lovely. They even prepared a cake for my birthday at no extra charge. The food is must! Some of the best food we have had. If you’re visiting Adams peak this is the perfect hotel and at an affordable price. Plus there is hot water which is so needed after the climb. Thank you for our stay
