"I had a good experience with the hotel. The room was beautiful, there was hot water, and the dinner and breakfast were delicious. However, due to the construction site nearby, the view from the window didn't match the photos. However, that doesn't apply to the hotel."

"Wow - what a wonderful experience. It’s all about the amazing location, the wonderful staff, the excellent food, the tea plantations and the all inclusive experience package with superb attention to detail. This was originally Sir Thomas Liptons Manor House which has become a 7 suite boutique hotel. Each suite is individually decorated and although the rooms are very colonial and could be classed as old fashioned they are still impressive with antique furniture and a modern spacious bathroom plus an additional sitting room. There are also a couple of lovely communal sitting rooms with open fires. The setting overlooking both wooded area and tea plantations is impressive. The infinity pool has this super view. The all inclusive deal includes all food and drinks and a wonderful afternoon tea tasting experience followed by a superb afternoon tea. I am gluten free and the chef personally came out to explain all our choices- I did not lose out at all. The presentation of all the food was superb. For lunch & dinner you can dine in a communal dining room with one large sharing table or on the outdoor patio. If dining outdoors large fire pits were lit for additional heat, blankets were offered. Hot water bottles were placed in our beds at fold down service as well as a flask and some chamomile tea bags and chocolate truffles. The hotel also had its own nature guide - my husband took an excellent morning bird watching experience which he would highly recommend. The guide then took us to Liptons seat to experience the sheer magnitude of the tea plantations followed by a visit to the nearby tea factory which was originally owned by Liptons. As an extra point to note - I would say there are better tea factories to visit but if time is short the tea process was well explained although no photographs are allowed within the factory and the tea testing was a few spoonfuls of cold tea from cups which were sitting out for many visitors. The factory is also austere and could do with some cheering up. As an alternative the New Giragama tea factory near Kandy is a great place to visit, excellent knowledgeable staff, pleasant clean factory with happy workers & you can take photographs. They have a large cafe upstairs, lots of information boards on tea and its conception in Sri Lanka and an excellent tea tasting experience included."

"The hotel is nestled in the mountains, with a beautiful environment and a large terrace. The owners are a very kind couple, and the breakfast is plentiful, with delicious black tea. There are many photo opportunities around the hotel; I even captured the starry sky, the Milky Way, and fireflies from the terrace. It's incredibly good value for money and highly recommended."

"The hotel has problems!!! We were allegedly upgraded to a superior room. It was nice but I’m not sure what was superior about it. Water ran very slowly and the air conditioning kept tripping the electrics every 15 minutes. (Literally 3 times in 45 minutes when we got back from dinner and that doesn’t take into account the 4 or 5 times it tripped before we went out). When I complained the staff were very helpful and moved us to a room on the second story where we stayed for 2 nights. The door to this room was very badly warped but did lock. The water ran even slower than the first room but we managed a shower (just). The bath wasn’t attached to the wall and did not have an end panel. I’m not sure you could use the bath, we didn’t try! The windows were badly warped but the worst part was a floor to ceiling window that couldn’t be secured shut. If someone leant on it whilst brushing their teeth they would literally have plummeted 2 stories to the ground. I mentioned this to the hotel who said the room wasn’t finished!! Breakfast was good, service good, staff friendly, location quite far out of town. The hotel did say we may have problems with TukTuks and gave us the number of someone that worked well. Of the 6 hotels we have stayed in Sri Lanka this was by far the worst and we were pleased to leave."

"I don't why there are negative reviews. it's a jungle resort and it lived to its expectations. you can't be staying in a luxury property in middle of jungle. arrival experience is amazing. adventure starts right from there. room is spacious and clean. view from balcony to stream is next to amazing. Best thing is the staff they treats you like king and makes you feel very special. very friendly and always ready to do whatever you ask. no is something I didn't hear. my 9 year old son enjoyed the activities also and last bath at river stream is most rejenuvating in our entire srilankan trip. the chef you received us on arrival and isuru at reception were great. no doubt everyone else is equally good. don't go by negative reviews. if you can walk and climb and need a different experience for your kids take then here. they will enjoy."

The Cubes Ella ★★★
"We had the most lovely stay here! Our room was gorgeous with an amazing view of the mountains and the staff were just perfect. The food was so good (breakfast is hugeeee so prepare to eat well in the morning) and the drive into town took about 3 mins by tuk tuk or about a 20 minute walk. Perfect!"

Jetwing Hoffmann Bungalow ★★★★
"One of the best bungalows I’ve ever stayed at! More than just the place, it was the amazing team — starting with Gayan, the manager, along with Kumar and Shiva — who made our stay truly memorable. Kumar’s food was absolutely delicious, and Shiva’s support throughout was next level. We will definitely be visiting again! The facilities were excellent, and access is easy — even by car."

Jetwing Warwick Gardens, A Luxury Reserve ★★★★★
"What a fantastic location! This restored old colonial bungalow, with its beautiful landscaped garden, looks out over surrounding luscious hillsides in the heart of Sri Lanka's tea growing region. Although the hotel is isolated we found that the peace and tranquility it offered just added to its charm. We especially enjoyed eating our breakfast in the sunshine on the front patio accompanied by a chorus of birdsong. The single track approach road from the high road was very bumpy and we were relieved to be told by the hotel staff that they ensured only one vehicle was allowed along it at a time, to avoid two vehicles meeting each other from opposite directions! The staff were very keen to make our stay a pleasant one. The food was tasty and interesting and the room and the beds comfortable. The WiFi was patchy in our room, but we found that it was possible to get a reasonable connection from the living room – because it was closer to the router located in the hallway. The only other niggle we had was a lack of hot water on our first night, but after telling the staff about this the next morning it was quickly remedied."

Mapakada Village - Wild Trails & Lake Retreat - Mahiyanganaya ★★★★
"Our family had a truly wonderful stay at Mapakada Village, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The hotel is set in a beautiful and peaceful location, with stunning views of the lake and a very relaxing atmosphere. From the moment we arrived until the time we checked out, we felt genuinely welcomed and well looked after. A very special thank you to Mr. Eshwara, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Also thanks to the entire team at Mapakada Village for creating such a wonderful and enjoyable stay.😊"

Ella Ridge View ★★★
"We have never been to a hotel worse than this in our life! The hotel is in the middle of nowhere - there is NO sign of the hotel name at all. I guess it’s not “nowhere” as it’s right at the construction site (see p1,2 and 3). We did expect the hotel is at a remote location so going ups and downs of dirt trails did not bother us much. However, without any sign of the hotel, we weren’t able to locate it until there were three men walked out from this construction site claiming this is Ella Ridge View. Obviously, we were shocked. After the staff led us to the room, there were more disappointments. The room is so dark even if with lights on. The hotel room is so filthy - one duvet covers with yellow stains and black marks, and the other duvet does not have any cover and it smelled bad. The shower barely worked - the water pressure was very low and the staff cannot fix it! It took 3 minutes to get hot water and the sink tap has absolutely no hot water. The staff tried to change us to three other rooms - they all have the same issue. We were woken up by construction workers start working before 8am (see p5). We had hope for this room as we like hiking and nature. We specifically booked a Mountain View room for our honeymoon. After spotting all these issues, we tried to troubleshooting with the hotel. However, the response we received from the hotel is that we can apply for refund for the 2nd day (our original booking was for 2 nights). This led us with no option but to apply for refund through Trip.com. When we submitted refund application, we were requested to provide evidence. So we took these pictures. You will be wrong to think the above is the worst. The next day, the hotel owner (Lasantha) came to us to explain the refund. However, he was extremely unhappy about our reasons for refund (because we had to submit evidence). My husband said to him “we only did what we were asked to. We thought you come here to offer us an apology. Instead, it seems you want to insult us because you’re angry about the photos in the complaint. We will not even mention this in our review.” We emphasised to him that we don’t care about the refund what we need is a simple apology. Sadly, we did not get that. He was so aggressive to us to the point that we were physically uncomfortable to stay any longer. Please don’t forget we were at the construction site with a couple of his workers). We are still processing the trauma he brought to us. This is definitely not something we’d like to remember when we look back on our honeymoon trip. Please think carefully when you try to book this hotel."
