Homestays in Maskeliya

Everything was great! There were heavy rains during my visit, so electricity was out for short bits of time, but I was able to take a hot shower every day. Wifi didn't work on the first day (connected but didn't work), but next day it worked perfectly and was fast. The living room with a little kitchen area is very nice. Dinners and breakfasts (was charged 1100 for dinner, 950 for breakfast) very good, a variety of dishes

Ruwan was an extremely informed and helpful host, who provided us with insights into climbing Adams Peak. Restaurant above with reasonable prices and good food. New room and hot water

We had a great welcome. The owners are really kind. Very close to the entrance. The breakfast was incredible. A lot of different options and all very tasty.

Great room with balcony. Staff were 11/10. Organized me a guide for Adam’s peak hike and taxi up north. Everything I needed. Location is perfect, a few minutes to walk to the start of the hike. Staff are friendly & organized, service was fast and food was delicious. Get the chicken wrap, you won’t regret it.

Clean room and friendly hospitality

Amazing hosts, great base for hiking activities in the region. We came here for 3 nights, stayed 6 as it felt so cozy. It’s a small family business, each family member is super nice and helpful. Mama cooks delicious food per your order. The brothers help you with organizing anything you need. We did Gartmore Falls, Adam’s Peak and Pekoe Trail. Then they brought us to Hatton to catch the train to Colombo. Nothing was too much trouble. Thanks for the wonderful time and hope to see you again.

The location offered a breathtaking view of the Maussakale reservoir. The staff were extremely helpful. Mr. Jayantha made our stay exceptionally special, making us feel right at home.

Everything was perfect - I totally recommend it!

The place is nice and has a beautiful lake view, but what truly elevated our stay was the exceptional service, particularly the kindness and helpfulness of Ishara.

Great host, always trying to help us figure out how to get around and have a nice time! They offered us lots of delicious Sri Lankan food for lunch (with fruits, veges, and coffee from their backyard!) in the family home. Whenever we needed a taxi/tuktuk, they connected us, and when we went camping, they even sent someone who lived in the area to make sure we arrived to the campgrounds safely! And since it was a holiday in Sri Lanka, there weren't many taxis running, so the host generously drove us to our next destination himself (2.5hrs to Kandy!). He invited us to his family's traditions for New Years and introduced us all. They allowed us to extend our stay without issues, and they gave us a bigger room than we expected for the same price since it was available. The room was very clean with mosquito net, toilet paper, balcony, warm water shower, air conditioning, warm blankets for the cold nights, and peaceful common outdoor seating area. If we're ever in Maskeliya again, we'll be coming here again. Can't recommend it enough!

The hosts of this place are incredibly nice and welcoming! They helped us with everything we needed and even drove us to the trailhead of Adam's peak in the middle of the night for free. The food was fantastic every day and we can recommend staying at this place to anyone who's looking for a low budget family homestay in the area.

Very new modern clean comfortable room. With lovely outlook onto colourful garden. Modern bathroom facilities, excellent hot water shower. Very tasty meals, lots of tropical fruit. The owner is a perfect host, very attentive, available and keen to please.

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.

Huge big rooms, great hosts, great location for climbing Adam’s Peak.

We can wholeheartedly recommend a stay at the Daffodils Inn for the following reasons: Our room was functional and very clean; the location, set slightly back from the main road, is quiet—which is especially valuable given the specific sleeping hours required for a climb up Adam’s Peak—and the food is excellent. We’d especially like to mention our hosts, who were not only extremely friendly but also provided us with great tips for climbing Adam’s Peak and were very accommodating regarding our requests. For our subsequent transfer, our hosts put us in touch with Madusha, whom we can also highly recommend.
