Pros:

Ho apprezzato molto la vista sulle colline, la colazione è buona e viene servita su di un tavolino fuori dalla camera con vista panoramica. Il proprietario è molto gentile e disponibile.

Cons:

La struttura è un po' datata, ci vorrebbe un po' di manutenzione.

Ottimo soggiorno!
Pros:

La struttura si trova lungo la strada principale di Haputale, in una posizione strategica che rende gli spostamenti semplici e comodi, anche per muoversi in autonomia nelle ore serali. Lo staff è solare, disponibile e molto accogliente. La colazione è ottima e servita all'orario concordato. L'ampia terrazza panoramica è il luogo ideale per rilassarsi e godersi uno splendido tramonto. La camera era pulita, confortevole e dotata di tutto il necessario per un piacevole soggiorno. Un'ottima base per visitare i principali punti di interesse della zona illustrati benissimo dal titolare.

Excellent customer service
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Mist Holiday Bungalow in Haputale while hiking Pekoe Trail Stage 12. After a long day on the trail, this guesthouse was the perfect place to relax and recover.

The hospitality and service were exceptional from the moment we arrived. The hosts were incredibly warm, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed. They made us feel completely at home and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable.

The room was clean, cozy, and offered beautiful views of the surrounding hills and misty scenery that Haputale is famous for. The peaceful atmosphere made it an ideal stop for hikers and travelers looking to unwind.

The food was fresh and delicious, and the overall experience felt very personal and welcoming. We highly recommend Mist Holiday Bungalow to anyone doing the Pekoe Trail or visiting Haputale. Excellent service, great hospitality, and a memorable stay!

Not for us
Pros:

The view was splendid. The shower had hot water

Cons:

Quiet dirty. The bed felt dirty, the floor was dirty, hairs and old soap.
There was many mosquitoes and no net, no spray no fan.. we couldn’t sleep at all cause of the terrible mosquitoes and to top it up, there was a huge karaoke happening in the floor below us…

Terrible
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It was noisy in the night and in the morning as well. Bathroom fanlight was broken. Bad smell on the bedsheets. We requested 3 beds and they gave us only 2 beds. We book the family room , but they gave us a different room not the family room. They told the family room will be expensive. No food was available to buy. No water bottles were available in the room, No value for money

Pros:

Acceuil adorable par le propriétaire dont la femme parle un peu français, la vue est fantastique depuis la chambre, ils nous ont offert plusieurs pot de thé et se sont montrés très sympas avec notre fils de 5 ans.une belle adresse. Si vous passez par là n'hésitez a aller manger chez ali "crispy restaurant" le patron est extraordinaire expérience typiquement locale!

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner pourrait être un peu mieux on nous a posé 1 barquette de beurre, 1pot de confiture, un paquet de pain de mie dans son emballage, 2 oeufs avec saucisse et des bananes , les autres établissements font bcp mieux au même prix, après c'est un détail laaaargement compensé par la gentillesse du propriétaire.
Massage pas ouf mais c'est une question de point de vue pour moi pas assez fort.

Keine Empfehlung
Pros:

Blick ins Tal

Cons:

Geräuschkulisse: Fahrzeuge von der Straße waren dauerhaft zu hören, auch nachts.
Internet: sehr langsam, teils komplett ausgefallen.
Frühstück: in 2 Wochen Sri Lanka echt das Liebloseste (ungetoastetes Brot, Margarine, Marmelade, 1 kaltes Spiegelei).
Moskitos im Zimmer und kein Netz.
Fleckiges Handtuch.
