Guest Houses in Haputale

This is our second time in Haputale. This time we chose a wonderful modern hotel, not far from the Adisham monastery. For my wife and me, this place is one of the best in Sri Lanka. Beautiful nature around, where you can climb the mountains and walk among the tea plantations. No crowds of tourists like in Ella, you can only see tea pickers and local women with bundles of firewood on their heads. We had a very nice room with a large balcony, huge floor-to-ceiling windows and a fantastic view of the mountains and lakes. The visibility from the window is more than 50 km. There is a table in the room to work on the computer. The hotel offers excellent breakfasts and dinners. The choice of dishes is simply huge, you don’t often see this in most hotels in Sri Lanka. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Thanks to Hashan that everything is perfectly organized and working, for his willingness to help in any situation. The hotel left the best impressions, we will definitely come back again

Courtesy is excellent. Owner. Is very good and friendly. Breakfast supplyed on time and. Delicious.

We highly recommend Nilowin Glenanore Guesthouse!!! We had such a lovely stay there! It was recommended from a friend and it surely didn’t disappoint! The family that runs it are super nice and helpful. Breakfast was amazing - the yummiest egg hopers we’ve had in Srilanka. The room was lovely with a great view. And what we enjoyed most - was their cooking class!! They’ve created a lovely, homely kitchen where the cooking class happens. Very informative and fun cooking class. We truly enjoyed it. Our three daughters got involved in everything we were preparing and everything was delicious!!! Thank you so much! Id be happy to come back tomorrow :)

Awesome place, quiet location, nice and cool place in the mountains, great views, lovely staff great breakfast. A little far from town but there is a short cut walk to restaurants.

Family run business. Great dinner, good tips, wonderful people. And gosh- the view!!! If you do not mind a few extra steps to get here from the road, this is a must stay! Isolated place 3km uphill from the village.

The rooms are immaculate, modern, and well-heated for the cold Haputale nights. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. It is a bit of a steep drive to get to the property, but the views are worth it.

Genuinely warm Sri Lankan hospitality combined with breathtaking world-class views. Waking up above the clouds is something I will never forget. Truly an exceptional property.

The hostess was very friendly and helpful, and also a very good cook. The WiFi was very good. The room was large and comfortable, with chairs in the room. The view from the room and balcony where we had our meals was beautiful.

This was the best place we stayed in a five week trip to Sri Lanka. Shan and his wife were the most friendly, generous and kind people. The accommodation was superb so comfortable, clean and stylish. The food was amazing… you need a big appetite! The location was superb , we enjoy walking and the property was in a prime position. The views over the tea plantation and done the valley were idyllic . This was such an amazing place to finish our trip. We will be back!

Amazing view! Friendly staff and a great location for completing the Pekoe trail

Great location, clean and comfortable room, excellent breakfast and friendly and helpful staff

We were offered a great side room with a huge balcony, and it turned out to be a real highlight. From the outside the place looks quite simple, but once inside it feels like a “backpacker’s posh” setup, very thoughtfully designed with small details that really suit a western traveler. The room was spacious, clean, and practical, with plenty of hooks and storage for gear. The bathroom was excellent, with a proper separate shower and good quality shampoo and shower gel. The balcony views were stunning and we spent a lot of time just enjoying them. The location is peaceful, sheltered from the wind and away from the town noise, yet still convenient with a shortcut up to the hilltop. The garden is beautiful, full of flowers, and the large lobby area is perfect to relax or meet other travelers. It has a nice mountain lodge vibe. Breakfast was generous and really good, with eggs, toast, fruits, yogurt, rotis and proper coffee. The owners are very friendly and helpful, which made the stay even better.

The family are so friendly and attentive that you immediately feel part of the family. The location is slightly outside of town but the walk to and from town has quite an incredible scenery. Plus you get away from the busy area and can sit on your own balcony watching the sunrise or sunset - beautiful. The room has been newly renovated and is exceptionally clean with new bedding and pillows. The kettle in the room is an added bonus with plenty of teabags to satisfy you during your stay. The beds are extremely comfortable and big. The shower is very good and is hot with good pressure. Great for exploring the local area and we caught local buses to Lipton's seat, the Tea factory and Diyaluma Waterfalls. Dinner and Breakfast are offered by the hosts and we would suggest speaking with the host early into your stay to make arrangements. Tip - in Haputale go behind the Bus Stand and there is a minibus that takes locals all the way to Lipton's Estate. Leaves at 10:30 and comes back at 14:00 - 200 Rupees per person. To get to the waterfalls get Bus Number 322 to Wellawaya which stops on the road outside the homestay. Leaves Haputale at 07:30. 150 Rupees per person. From Diyaluma get any bus back to Beragala Junction and then transfer to any bus heading to Bandarawela or Haputale. This is a truly wonderful homestay and we would recommend it to everyone wishing to stay in Haputale. Quite beautiful and special.

Wow! I only have great things to say about this place. The clean, great location and hospitality of the room was incredible. The lovely lady, Kalai, who owns the property is incredibly sweet and humorous. I was the only guest staying here for 2 nights and she treated me as part of her family - even making me breakfast on the day I checked out. I 100% recommend this stay to any other traveller. You can also rent a scooter for a small fee to explore further outside of town.

Room was as advertised and offered some stunning views. Railway Line is just below. Very helpful family and accommodating.

The place was great with amazing views and a calm atmosphere. You hardly ever hear any vehicle traffic. You could hear a lot of birds, especially in the morning. The staff did an amazing job to make us comfortable and made us delicious meals. The owner, Muni lives next door and was very responsive to all our questions and requests. The villas themselves are very nicely designed, built and decorated. Everything was very thoughtfully done. Great place to wind down and get in touch with nature.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here! From the warm welcome to the beautifully clean and well-maintained rooms, everything exceeded our expectations. The peaceful and quiet surroundings provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, making our experience even more special. One of the highlights was definitely the natural spring water swimming pool. It felt like a true oasis, blending perfectly with the natural surroundings. The refreshing swim in crystal-clear water was a unique experience we truly cherished. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable, with the staff going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We’re truly grateful for the memorable experience and can’t wait to return.

Really loved this stay - the owner is very funny and friendly. We absolutely ADORED our dinner and breakfast which he cooked for us as well. He is working so hard always running here there and everywhere around the property. We had lots of space to park our tuktuk. The place itself is peaceful and quiet and was the perfect base to explore Diyaluma Falls. We also loved the room and bathroom.
