EXCELLENT Based on 111 reviews Tenis Ranjan2024-06-25 It was a great experience Supun Thilakshana2024-06-15 The Best cafe for your lesure time in Balangoda area ???? Great cappuccino and sandwich! Perfect for a relaxing break. Aashish Patel2024-06-09 What an awesome experience. Staying on a tea farm in an A frame while the host takes care of food tours and hikes. Absolutely, relaxing and a unique place. Thank you Sumit! Kate McCrossin2024-05-15 WOW! The Backyard Balangoda took our breath away! This was initially booked as an overnight rest stop on a cycling trip, and we are now really regretting not being able to stay longer. The owner Sumit has created something really special here. The architecture, the branding is all beautiful, nested amongst his family’s tea plantation. The views are outstanding and his menu is so incredibly delicious…it truly blew us away! Don’t think about it, just book it and stay there! And congrats Sumit for creating something amazing! ???? Ralf Senn2024-04-26 Perfect place to be. Quiet, friendly, top view! Breakfast and food is a dream Hanna Keller2024-04-26 sehr freundliche und herzliche Bedienung. super feines Essen, mit viel Liebe zubereitet. Ruhige Umgebung und geniale Aussicht. genau richtig für einen Erholsamen Urlaub. Sachith Undugoda2024-03-27 Absolutely blown away by The Backyard Balangoda! I arrived late, past 11:30 pm, but the owner himself was there to greet me with a warm smile and a delicious cup of coffee. I was just looking for a place to sleep, but The Backyard offered so much more. The next morning, I was treated to an incredible breakfast that included the most amazing salad I've ever had! Seriously, it was a highlight. The fresh ingredients and unique flavors were just fantastic. Huge kudos to this young entrepreneur for creating such a welcoming and special place. He truly went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay. Highly recommend The Backyard Balangoda to anyone seeking a peaceful escape to relax and unwind. It's also the perfect spot for anyone wanting to curl up with a good book! Tilmann Badel2024-03-27 Leute, geht da hin! Wirklich, einfach unfassbar schön. Mal etwas abseits der ausgetretenen Touristenpfade, dadurch einfach super besonders. An Komfort mangelt es dadurch in keinster Weise und das Essen ist hervorragend! Und auch der kleine Schlenker auf dem Weg vom Hochland zur Küste oder andersherum ist kein Problem! Die öffentlichen Busse fahren Extrem regelmäßig und fast direkt vor die Haustür oder man nimmt sich für die letzte Strecke ein TukTuk. Der Besitzer ist unfassbar nett und sorgt für ein ganz besonderes Sri Lanka Erlebnis. Danke, wir kommen wieder! :) Christine Maria2024-03-08 We had a really nice stay with Sumith, he showed us a lot of beautiful places and hidden spots. The view of the place was stunning, we were the only tourists in this area. This is the perfect place for relaxing and some calm days. Sumith served us really good food and always wanted to make our stay pleasant. You will get awesome coffee and tea and he prepares really good homemade food. Ask for the tomato curry for breakfast, it was the best food we had in Sri Lanka. In summary: it was the best lodging we had and will definitely come back. Thank you!

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.
