This accommodation is a simple trekking lodge made for exploring the gorgeous area on foot. The views were magical, we were served very delicious, home-made, healthy and nourishing food. Perfect location for all trails and Horton Plains National Park. We liked the Pekoe Trail even more than World's End, very much worth spending more time in this area to explore.

More a piece of information rather than a negative aspect: The accommodation is really very remote and relatively hard to get to, very steep road. Ideally plan for an arrival before dark if coming by car or tuktuk from the railway station.

We had a wonderful two-day stay at Hill Safari in Ohiya. The view from the balcony was incredible, and I could have spent all day there. However, many hiking trails start from the hotel, like the Devil's Staircase, which shouldn't be missed. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with planning our treks. The food at the restaurant was very good, but you need to inform them in advance if you plan to dine in. Nights are quite chilly for Sri Lanka, and while there’s no heating, the blanket provided was sufficient. It's wise to bring something warm. The hotel is very close to Horton Plains, making it a great base for the park, though I personally preferred all the trails near the hotel.

Perfect view over the hill country of Sri Lanka. The accomodation was in a tea plantation. The owner and the employers were very helpful, they arranged the transportation and gave us a lot of helpful tips. All in all a very lovely stay, perfect for the hike in the Horton Plains. The food which was served was delicious

The small hotel were under construction, so we got a bigger room (with 3 beds) - the room had not the described terrace, which we missed a bit. Also it was a bit uncomfortable that the toilet and the sink were in two seperate rooms. The road to the hotel was an adventure, so for the Tuk Tuk ride you need to have an experienced driver and strong nerves :-) The room in which we stayed was a bit shabby - but we think that all rooms will be renovated during the next months.

The location of Hill Safari is utterly stunning. Remote, nestled away in the hills, surrounded by great walks. Steven and the team make you feel right at home. They are so immensely helpful, working out walking routes, always making sure you’re well fed with the most delicious food and that all your needs are catered for. We absolutely loved our 4 days there and we were sad to leave. Strongly recommend staying here!

The rooms could do with a bit of a refresh; new lick of paint, update amenities etc but everything worked well. More generally, we would have loved to learn more about the tea plantation itself but there wasn’t an opportunity to do so.

My family and I had a truly happy and memorable time staying at Hill Safari. The cosy, lodge-style hotel enjoys a spectacular location, high up in green, lush mountains. Eomal and his team were incredibly helpful and kind, making us feel very welcome. We were treated to great breakfast and dinner - tasty, local food - and Eomal gave us lots of suggestions for walks in the area. He also kindly collected us from the station and drove us up to Horton Plains. There are comfortable places to sit out in the beautifully-tended garden, and we enjoyed the wonderful views, and being so close to nature. It was an unforgettable end to our month in Sri Lanka, and we were very sad to leave!

It was a bit of a mission to get there, but it was so worth it. The most secluded, tranquil and beautiful place we have visited in Sri Lanka so far. Small place and the staff looked after us so well especially Stephen he is so knowledge about the area and nothing is a problem. He drove us to Hortons Plains for sunrise and to Ohiya for our train to Ella. So kind. Hortons Plains is an amazing experience so different to anything else in Sri Lanka, a cloud forest with spectacular views in the morning early. Then lovely afternoon tea on the terrace back at the hotel. If you want peace and quiet and stunning scenery, this is the place for you.

Nothing to dislike.

This hotel is in really a gorgeous location with beautiful views, very authentic and peaceful and it's a place I would recommend staying at least two nights to fully appreciate the surroundings. The owners are very kind and attentive, providing clean drinking water. The hotel provide stunning views where you can enjoy a cup of tea. The food is always tailored to what we feel like eating, featuring breathtaking natural scenery, sunsets, and evening mists. The staff was very accommodating and pleasant. Dinner was excellent, especially thanks to the chef named Nuwan, whose culinary skills truly enhanced our experience. I also recommend visiting the school in the local village and bringing candy and especially pencils for the children. 🙂

One of our holiday highlights. We stayed in the upper apartment “Silver Tips” which was very modern and clean. And the view was amazing, even from the shower! Super friendly staff and amazing food: For dinner we got tasty rice and curry and for breakfast delicious egg-hoppers while overviewing the tea fields and mountaintops around. This accommodation is very close on the Pekoe Trail that we walked, we stayed only one night but we would have loved to stay longer… The area offers a lot of great hikes and magical tranquility far from touristy zones. They serve their own tea from the plantation which has organic quality, all grown naturally.

Everything! The room was nicely done and very comfortable All the little things that you take for granted elsewhere were met - good linen, comfy bed, good water pressure and surprisingly, the best and fastest wifi we have found in Sri Lanka! Staff were very attentive Food was good The view (near and far), from our lovely balcony kept us entertained all afternoon

Nothing really….. The road is as others have described, but it is so worth it!

We had an excellent stay at Hill Safari. Hosts Eomal and his wife and staff Nuwan are very kind, friendly, and helpful. The location is an excellent place for Horton Plains and many other hiking trails. Also, the views around the property are excellent - tea plantations, farms, mountains, and long distance views as well. Eomal, who has lived there over 40 years, is very knowledgeable about the area and all the hiking opportunities. Home cooked dinner and lunch were very tasty. He arranged our travel logistics to the Horton Plains and to the Train station.

An electric Kettle in the room would have been helpful. But they brought Tea to the room, and therefore it wasn't a big issue.
