Sehr gute, persönliche Unterkunft mit tollem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis – ideal, wenn man eine familiäre Atmosphäre schä
Pros:

Sehr nette und herzliche Gastgeber, immer hilfsbereit und aufmerksam. Alles war sauber und ordentlich, und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis passt absolut. Man fühlt sich schnell wohl.

Cons:

Das Zimmer hatte leider kein Fenster mit Tageslicht. Außerdem sollte man wissen, dass die Zimmer im Haus der Besitzer integriert sind – für alle, die besonders viel Privatsphäre wünschen, ist das vielleicht nicht ideal.

Nice views, very spacious rooms
Pros:

Such nice hosts, always wanting to help out as much as they could with giving recommendations knowing we are budget travelers. Our room had natural light, and enough room for my husband to lay out a yoga mat and do his calisthenics in the morning. There were also some weights in the living room I used to do some of my exercises. We were able to store some things in the kitchen to make our salad/breakfast oats and store food in the fridge. The place was clean and felt like home. We extended our stay a couple extra days because we liked it so much! It is only a 10-15min walk to the city center

A great place to stay. Safe, calm, clean and wonderful service. Owners are great. Highly recommend.
Pros:

Owners (couple) were great. They did a great service. Very genuine and decent. A calm and silent place. Very clean. There is a nice view of the town and the mountains. We felt like we were in our own home. A safe place. Easy to reach and near the town, and a very beautiful area.

Pros:

Our 1-night stay at Roshan Guest House was absolutely perfect. The location is peaceful yet just 10 mins from Gregory Lake and town. The room was immaculate with comfy beds, hot water 24/7, and a heater – a lifesaver in Nuwara Eliya weather!

What made it special was the hospitality. Roshan and family went above and beyond, they helped arrange a tuk , and even gave us extra blankets without asking. The garden is beautiful for evening tea. Location is perfect – quiet street but close enough to walk to main attractions.

If you want clean, safe, budget-friendly accommodation with real Sri Lankan warmth, this is it. Thank you for making our trip memorable!


Value for money: 10/10. Will book again next time we’re in Nuwara Eliya!

Absolutely not recommend!
Cons:

It’s a complete misunderstanding. We arrived to learn that our booked room with two beds was sold out to someone else. They had only one smaller room with one bed available and said that if we don’t like it then we can search for something else on the spot. That was ridiculous so we stayed with them, but in the end we didn’t even get any promised discount that we agreed on at the beginning.

Pros:

Madre e figlio davvero stupendi, disponibilissimi, dolcissimi, sorridenti e accoglienti, pronti ad aiutarti in qualunque modo.
Lontano dal centro ma facilmente raggiungibile con una scorciatoia che ti dicono loro, 15 minuti a piedi. Ristorante molto buono vicino sempre raggiungibile con una scorciatoia a piedi in pochi minuti.

Cons:

Da migliorare l’estetica della stanza e del bagno, ma comunque pulita.

Pros:

Wij hebben een erg fijn verblijf (5 nachten) gehad in Roshan guesthouse. De kamer schoon en we kregen zelfs een grotere kamer, omdat we zo lang bleven. De hosts zijn erg vriendelijk en betrokken. Ze hadden goede tips voor restaurants en activiteiten. Als we nog eens naar Sri Lanka gaan, zouden we hier zeker weer verblijven!

Pros:

Wonderful hospitality and a stunning view


We had a lovely stay here and felt very welcomed by the host, she is truly adorable and attentive. The property features a beautiful garden with a fantastic view. Everything was kept very clean and organized, especially the common areas.
​On the practical side, the Wi-Fi works perfectly,which was a nice change from other places we’ve stayed, and the key system for the room is very convenient and easy to use.

​There is some room for improvement regarding the rooms themselves: Sound travels quite easily between the walls, so you can hear some noise from neighboring guests. Our specific room didn't have a window yet as it seemed to be under construction, and the towels provided were a bit small. However, the overall cleanliness and the kindness of the host made it a very pleasant experience. We would definitely recommend it for the great atmosphere and views.

​Tips to improve

​ -Adding a small bench or luggage rack would make it much easier for travelers to organize their bags without having them on the floor.

-Installing a simple shower curtain or divider, along with providing a squeegee/floor dryer would prevent the bathroom floor from getting wet during showers.

​-If possible, adding some soft furnishings or basic soundproofing between rooms would help reduce the "rumor" of noise from other guests

Thank you!!

Pros:

וואו איך אני שמח שבחרתי להתארח פה!
רושאן ואשתו הם אנשים נפלאים וחמים שגרמו לי להרגיש בבית ומהר מאוד הרגשתי איתם כמו חבר ולא כאורח. רושאן טייל איתי, הראה לי מקומות מקסימים והיה הכי קשוב ונעים שאפשר לבקש :)
המיקום נפלא, נוף יפהייפה, רחוק מכל הרעש של מרכז העיר ועדיין מאוד נגיש.
ארוחת הבוקר הייתה טעימה מאוד. אם אתם מטיילים בנורה אליה אני ממליץ לבוא לכאן.
כמטייל סולו הרגשתי שאני לא מטייל לבד למשך היומיים ששהיתי שם וזו היתה תחושה נהדרת.
תודה לכם על הכל❤️
