We had a wonderful stay at this villa in Nuwara Eliya. The place was very comfortable, spotless, and beautifully maintained. The location is perfect peaceful, private, and close to all the main attractions. We especially loved the privacy and relaxing atmosphere. Everything was well arranged, and the owner were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and private stay in the best location.

Great location, better than we estimated and an awesome and heartfelt amazing host. The kind of host every guest hopes for: the list is impeccable; clean, cozy, great location, and made everything effortless. Thoughtfulness in each service , responsive, and the genuine care exercised about our experience. They went above and beyond and made our trip unforgettable. Our vacation wouldn’t have been the same without them. 10/10 would stay again. Thank you!

The house is very beautiful, spacious and clean. The host was very nice and helpful. The food prepared by the host was delicious (dinner). We had to leave the apartment in the early morning and he also prepared very good „take-away” breakfast and arranged the transport for us.

Jayantha is a great host I can highly recommend a stay at Keshiya Holiday Home. I got everything I needed and even more, it was really heartwarming to experience such hospitality. The room or the flat is really big and has everything you need, including a beautiful view towards the valley and all the fields of vegetables they grow in this region. Also I got some delicious food by Jayantha and his family, it was really one of the best dishes I had in all my time in Sri Lanka, I highly recommend this beautiful place!

Scenic views & best dinner.

Nice setting, beautiful views and space. Host is very nice & helpul. We had a dinner cooked by him twice and it was the best food we had in Sri Lanka, better than fancy restaurants! Good location for hikes around.

We had an absolutely wonderful time. Jayantha is truly the best host — we immediately felt at home. The apartment has everything you need and is located in a beautiful area. With the tuk-tuk you can reach the center in no time. Jayantha took great care of us: he prepared delicious food, both breakfast and dinner, arranged transportation, and even brought us to the tea factory. He also shared so much valuable information about Sri Lanka and was incredibly kind with our children. Thank you so much for everything!

Excellent!

The views are lovely and the location is very peaceful. But, what really makes this place special is the owner - Jayantha.

The house was very clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. The owner was extremely kind, helpful, and always available if we had any questions. A great bonus is that if you’re planning a trip to Horton Plains, breakfast can be served early in the morning, which was very convenient.

Spacious apartment with the friendliest host and great food

The host is the most hospitable and friendly person you will ever meet. He helped us with our intinary and dropped us off at the city center and the train station. We really enjoyed the home cooked dinner. The apartment is very spacious. The wifi is good.

Very lovely place, somewhat outside center of Nuwara, but at the endpoint of the Pekoetrail. We did the last etappe of the trail and came back with a bus. Very nice views and relaxed walk. The owner is very friendly and can give you all the info you want. Breakfast was excellent. It's continental with Strawberry juice, cake or pancakes. They even did some home cooking for us the first evening (Khottu). Again, very tasteful. I recommend this place for its charme. You look out your window and see the plains! The next day, he brought us to the trainstation.

Quiet, cosy, amazing hospitality

If you’re going to Nuwara Eliya, the only thing you need to book is this place. It’s a quiet retreat perfect for a relaxing few days, or if you want to explore it’s close enough to everything. The host, Jayantha, will go out of you way to enhance your trip - from incredible home-cooked meals to local tips and arranging activities. He even drove us up the road to a tea factory, and dropped us at the train station at the end of our stay. Jayantha’s hospitality was one of the highlights of our Sri Lanka trip.

Very, very, very clean place with beautiful terrace outside and view of tea plantations and forest. Very good contact with the owner, good breakfast. Beds were very comfortable and flat was spacious and very well organized. Little paradise on earth. You can take tuk tuk to train station/town. Owner helped with organising it. I totally recommend this place!

Great host and really nice appartment.

The host cooked us a fantastic dinner, really recommended to take up his offer, and the breakfast was also great. The location was very interesting, close to Pedro's Tea Factory where the Pekoe trail ends (host drove us to the beginning of the trail in our own car and we walked back).
