Der Gastgeber ist wunderbar! Wir haben hier einen wunderbaren Start in Sri Lanka erlebt. Viel über das Land und die Kultur erfahren. Alle Angestellte und die Leute aus der Region sind ebenfalls sehr freundlich und hilfbereit. Die Lodge ist super schön, das essen sehr gut und es gibt hier viel zu erleben. Unbedingt herkommen, es lohnt sich sehr.! Vielen herzlichen Dank für die Gastfreundschaft, wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder und werden es all unseren Freunden weiterempfehlen!Posted on Google Franziska BinderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I stayed two nights at Sumith’s lovely place, beautifully surrounded by tea plantations. He was incredibly hospitable and helpful even before my arrival, assisting with public transport for both arrival and departure. During my stay, Sumith ensured a rich and engaging experience, including walks through the tea plantations, explanations of the tea-making process, tea tasting, and visits to nearby waterfalls. The home-cooked food was excellent, tailored to my preferences; especially the cinnamon iced tea and cinnamon ice cream ;) A wonderful accommodation that truly felt like home. Highly recommended, and I would happily return ☺️Posted on Google Dulin IksuraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Superb place. The view is stunning and the service was awesome. Well maintained place and rooms. Food was tasty too. The portion sizes did not meet the expectations and hence reduced 1 star. Food presentation and quality is top notch tho. Overall a highly recommended place to go.Posted on Google Sithija KumarasiriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Brilliant location with stunning views all around. The cabanas are clean and well maintained, making for a comfortable stay. The food is exceptionally well prepared and delicious. While the portion sizes are a bit small for the price, it's nothing significant to complain about. There are also multiple waterfalls and scenic viewpoints nearby to explore. Overall, highly recommend this place.Posted on Google Prabath MadusankaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently spent one night at The Backyard, and it was one of the most memorable hotel experiences we have had. From the moment we arrived, we were amazed by the stunning location. Situated high on a mountain, the hotel offers spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and forests. The scenery is truly breathtaking, and at certain times of the day it feels as if you are literally above the clouds. Watching the sunrise and enjoying a cup of tea while overlooking the endless greenery was an experience we will never forget. The property itself is beautifully maintained and blends perfectly with the natural surroundings. The peaceful atmosphere makes it an ideal destination for anyone looking to relax, unwind, and escape the busy pace of everyday life. Every corner of the hotel offers a picture perfect view, making it a paradise for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. The food was excellent throughout our stay. Every meal was fresh, delicious, and well prepared, with generous portions and great presentation. We were genuinely impressed by the quality and taste. What truly made our stay special was the outstanding service. The staff were warm, friendly, professional, and always willing to help with a smile. Their hospitality made us feel welcome and valued from check in to check out. Overall, The Backyard exceeded our expectations in every way. If you are looking for a unique mountain retreat with incredible views, delicious food, and exceptional hospitality, this is the perfect place. We highly recommend it and look forward to visiting again in the future.Posted on Google Shehan surajTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

As a business traveler, I appreciate the seamless experience provided by Luxeliving. The well-equipped business center, high-speed Wi-Fi, and comfortable rooms make it an ideal choice for work trips.
Staying at Luxeliving felt like a retreat. The tranquil atmosphere, beautiful gardens, and rejuvenating spa made it the perfect place to unwind and escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
My partner and I had a romantic getaway at Luxeliving Honeymoon Suite Room, and it was perfect. The intimate ambiance, luxurious amenities, and in-room dining options made our stay memorable.
Traveling with kids was a breeze at Luxeliving. The family-friendly amenities, from the playground to the kids' menu, kept my little ones entertained and happy.
I couldn't get enough of the breathtaking views from my room at Luxeliving. Waking up to a panoramic view of the mountains made my stay truly special.
