We enjoyed our stay in this tea estate. The nature is beautiful, good offer of tours and spa, staff always friendly and welcoming. The colonial reception is somewhat unique, definitely a great place. And the view from the room is to die for!! With that said we found the property not up to the standards they claim to have: we had the honeymoon suite, that despite the high price tag came with a tent full of holes and poorly mended. When we checked in there was moldy food in the fridge (again, it happens but for that price it shouldn’t), and there were hair in the shower. We flagged both, they immediately sent cleaning over which removed the moldy food (but didn’t clean the fridge which was dirty) and for the shower the receptionist told us the cleaning staff didn’t find anything (we showed her the picture, so probably they didn’t even bothered to clean the shower). Again, these things shouldn’t happen in a room that goes for 300 USD a night. Restaurant and breakfast is average. Again, given the beauty of the place maybe we had higher expectations.

The property is great for those who can brave it! It's very difficult to get to the property- Infact the over driver left us 5 kms short refusing to take a'dirt road' We had to do last 5 kms by tuk tuk Wish either the property or Expedia had warned us Once there service and staff were exceptionally nice and views breathtaking! Wish I could say it was worth ot

Wonderful!

10.0

Amazing hotel! The staff was great, views were stunning (we never grew tired of it!) and the room/rent was extraordinary, wonderful to wake up to the view. The staff were very attentive and helped with everything, even a hospital visit was solved in and out within 30 minutes from the request. Breakfast was very good, ala carte menu was average. Very bumpy road to get up there though.

Great ambiance in the mornings

6.0

Terrain: The way up was tough especially in rough rainy weather. Be prepared for that! Service Attitude: After my driver and I arrived after a long day, we found no one to receive us at the steps, or even as we went in, the receptionist on night duty ignored us for about 5 minutes while attending to all her other tasks and also speaking t another Caucasian, before realising that we had a booking already. To which suddenly the attitude changed, and I was offered the tea and warm towels. Was given a room that was quite far away from the main area, really cold and tired by the time I'd arrived at the tent. Redeeming factor: Lots of sunshine next day, breakfast was generous and colorful, and they also matched a fun naturalist Kasun to my short trekking that morning. Rooms: Well-designed, nice touches, but cold at night even with the heater. Some insects but that's part of the whole deal. Nice tea inside the tent made it homely. Each tent is not too close to each other, that's good. Overall for the service and location, felt it is a bit overpriced. Did not see any action at the tea plantation / gardens, maybe just not my luck :P
