Most amazing service, best hospitality, the manager Saman did everything to make our stay very pleasant. Special thanks to Viduna and Hassan, who help us with everything, they were the kindest people we have ever met. Special thanks to our chef Denura, who made every meal delicious. The whole staff was amazing, welcoming and lovely people. Thank you for everything!

It’s the perfect place to get away from the busy world and just spend time in a serene and picture perfect location. The place is immaculate and the room is nicely decorated and very comfortable, we stayed in the Lavender Suite that has the best views. The staff are very friendly and helpful, we felt like royalty! The hotel also has a pool table and big living room area to enjoy a movie on a wide screen TV. But nothing beats the view of the mountains and the gorgeous sunset. The location - although difficult in some places to get to- but once you make it up that road, you know you made the right choice. The hotel location is perfectly located between Nuwara Eliya and Kandy so you can go spend the day in the city and come back in time for dinner. There’s a beautiful hike close by that takes you to the waterfall or you can just enjoy strolling through the tea plantation around the hotel.

The road leading to the hotel is unpaved but totally worth the ride. They arrange for transportation and are very accommodating if you need directions.

This is a stunning bungalow set amongst beautifully lush gardens and surrounded by a tea plantation. It is best suited to those looking to unwind, relax and recharge in a peaceful setting. The staff were exceptional, very attentive and always greeted you with a smile, this included all the grounds keepers...I lost count as to how many there were! The food was tailored to personal preferences, with the Sri Lankan dishes being a real stand out, they were delicious! As a tea lover the visit and tasting at the plantation was a highlight, as was waking up to that view from the bay windows of the Lavender Suite. You are able to walk the grounds and watch the tea pickers weave up and down the hillsides. They were all too happy to stop for a photo and interact with the guests of the hotel. We enjoyed our trip and would recommend you visit the team and experience the hospitality for yourself. Thank you for looking after us! :)

Everything - so peaceful, the scenery is breathtaking, food is amazing and everything is very comfortable. The staff were exceptional, we weren’t left wanting for anything, and when I accidentally left my phone charger at the property, they dropped it to my next hotel! Really wonderful service.

Lavender House is a charming retreat overlooking lush tea plantations, offering an experience that feels more like staying in a beautifully maintained private home than a hotel. The rooms in the main house are elegantly appointed with original furnishings, and the garden is impeccably tended, adding to the sense of serenity and refinement. We traveled as a family and initially stayed in two rooms in the main building. Midway through our stay, we were generously upgraded to their expansive three-bedroom villa, which features a private terrace, hot tub, and dining area. Though more contemporary in style, the villa offered an equally special and memorable experience. What truly sets Lavender House apart, however, is the outstanding hospitality. Under the expert leadership of Saman, the manager, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Their attention to detail was remarkable—they anticipated our needs, checked in on us regularly, and even accompanied us on excursions. A special mention goes to Viduna, who took exceptional care of us throughout our stay. Dining at Lavender House was another highlight. Each day, Chef Shantha and his talented kitchen team consulted with us about our preferences for breakfast and dinner, crafting exquisite Sri Lankan and Western dishes as well as high teas. The level of personalized service was extraordinary, making every meal a delight. For relaxation, the hotel offers spa treatments that can be enjoyed either outdoors or in the privacy of your room. The masseur, Supun, is truly gifted—his massages were so exceptional that we booked four treatments during our stay. Highly recommended! The team also curated engaging activities that made our visit even more special. We embarked on two scenic hikes—one to a local waterfall and another to the breathtaking vantage point of Peacock Hill.

We had the most unforgettable stay at The Lavender House in Sri Lanka. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The location is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views all around—truly a piece of paradise. We were welcomed with a wonderful surprise: a room upgrade to what felt like a private, luxurious villa. The space was unbelievably spacious and beautifully designed, offering total comfort and privacy. As we were celebrating our honeymoon, the staff went above and beyond to make it special with lovely welcome snacks and a room decorated with such thoughtful detail—it meant so much to us. Our personal butler was exceptional—attentive, kind, and always ready to help with anything we needed. One of the highlights of our stay was a scenic tour organized for us, and they even packed a delicious lunch box, which was such a considerate touch. My wife had a swollen ankle during our trip, and the staff arranged a massage to help her feel better, showing true care and attention to detail. The food throughout our stay was si

What an incredible experience we had at Lavender house. The welcoming staff were attentive but unobtrusive & our private butler went above and beyond and always had a refreshing cold drink at hand. Thanks Viduna! The meticulous grounds surrounded by breathtaking views & all the local wildlife was wonderful. Loved the fresh flowers in our room. The passionate chefs surprised us daily with quality & great attention to detail. Loved our private cooking class! This place will hold a special place in our hearts.

This is the highest rated hotel we have stayed in from booking.com and it did not disappoint. It is perfect for those looking to unwind and relax. The bungalow is charming and based in the middle of a tea planation. The views are exceptional. The best part of the hotel is the staff because they go out of their way to meet every request you have when it comes to comfort and food. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend everyone to visit and experience the hospitality. Thank you Saman, Heshan and team for looking after us.

Exceptional Hospitality and a Beautiful Stay We had an unforgettable experience at Lavender house. Even though we arrived late at 11:00 PM, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome by providing a fantastic dinner. Their kindness and attention to detail truly stood out. It’s hard to put into words just how beautiful this place is—it’s something you need to see to believe! Every moment spent here was worth every penny, and the ambiance was absolutely perfect. A special thanks to Saman, whose exceptional service made our stay even more memorable. If you’re considering a visit to Sri Lanka, I wholeheartedly recommend Lavender house. You won’t regret it!

The location is absolutely amazing, set right in and amongst the tea fields. The view is spectacular and it is very peaceful. The property is very unique and the furnishings are very nice, with lots of space and comfort. Saman and his team are very attentive, providing excellent personalized service and cater to any needs.. The food was very very good, with a great variety and the hot rock meal was great fun!

Not a complaint, but there is no stand-up shower in some rooms, only very nice deep tubs with shower handwands. We didn't mind as it was in keeping with the style of the period property, but it might be an issue for some guests. There was a separate shower room you can use.
