Lilara Hills - Diyatalawa

"The hotel is in the mountains and forests, the environment is very good, there is a large terrace, the boss is a very kind couple, the breakfast is also very rich, the black tea is very good, you can take various photos near the hotel, take pictures of the starry sky, the galaxy and fireflies on the terrace. Super cost-effective, very recommended"

"On arrival we received a very nice welcome with cold towels and a drink, we only had 1 night here as part of a tour. This is a good hotel, a little different to what we expected but nonetheless we enjoyed our experience. The hotel is perched on the mountainside overlooking Ella Gap with the most amazing views from the balcony. We had a triple room for 3 travellers ( family with a teenage 14 y o girl). The room itself is actually a chalet, quite small with the double bed pushed against the wall. The chalet is accessed by quite a few sets of stone stairs, accessibility for someone less able would be a challenge but they did help with transporting luggage but the walk back up to reception and the restaurant takes a bit of effort !! The rooms are equipped well and clean unfortunately though our kettle didn’t work and some plug sockets were unusable, but we managed with an extension socket. I had been looking forward to an early morning brew in the balcony to enjoy the scenery but without the kettle didn’t manage this. Monkeys are everywhere which is lively and they do make a noise early on from about 4am!! Don’t leave the balcony door open ! They weren’t a problem and just added to the jungle vibe. We ate dinner in the restaurant from the set menu - it was fine in the main but my husband’s dinner wasn’t very warm in hindsight we should have mentioned it but that’s our fault. We had an early start the next day and breakfast was served from 7.30 .. they very kindly took our breakfast order the night before and made it early enough for us to eat before we left, that was a lovely gesture and we were very grateful.. the staff were very kind. All in all if you end up staying here it’s a great experience, we didn’t get to use the pool although it looked small the views from it were stunning and I’d recommend this as a great little place for couples or friends as opposed to families! Thank you for a lovely evening !"

"I want to share my honest experience about a recent stay at a “wenasa”hotel AKA “top mountain resort” in Diyathalawa, and let me tell you, it was quite an adventure! First off, finding the location was a bit of a challenge. Arriving late at around 9 PM, we were greeted with gusts of snowy wind and winding roads that were nearly covered in white. Our trusty Google Maps led us into a maze of tea estates and narrow paths cloaked in paddy fields, eventually landing us at a dead end. After some navigating, we finally found our way to the hotel! A tip for future travelers: if you want to find the hotel easily, head to the Diyathalawa General Hospital. Just a little down on the right, you’ll spot a big lion statue. Follow that path for about 300 meters, and look for the hotel sign,take the road that slopes down! Once we arrived, the hotel staff were incredibly welcoming from the moment we walked in until check-out. The place itself was nestled in a stunning mountain area, offering breathtaking views. Our deluxe room was neat and spacious, featuring a cozy double bed along with two big single beds (even you can share it with 2). There was a slight odor coming from the bathroom, likely from the furniture or paint, but it was nothing serious. I assure you, the bathroom was clean and well-sanitized, and the hot water was a delightful treat after our long journey. The next morning, we enjoyed breakfast at the hotel, and wow, it was worth every penny! We ordered the English breakfast, and it was absolutely delicious, filling us up nicely for the day ahead. The staff continued to impress us with their friendliness, always smiling and eager to help whenever we needed anything. If you're looking for a cozy spot to stay around Bandarawela or Diyathalawa, I highly recommend this hotel. It’s a hidden gem, and I can't wait to visit again!"

"We had a worst experience in this hotel. Customer handling is worst. I think the owner and management should learn how to speak with customers. They don’t have manners. Service is very poor. No response for meal preparations. I don’t recommend this place to anyone 👎🏾"

"During our stay at Red Rock hotel for two nights, we had an absolutely fantastic time. The view from the balcony was simply amazing, allowing us to soak in the beauty of nature and a lovely waterfall. The spacious and tidy rooms were a real treat, ensuring a comfortable stay throughout. Ramesh and his wife welcomed us warmly, taking care of all our needs and ensuring our experience in Ella was exceptional. They were always available to answer our questions, making our stay hassle-free and enjoyable. Moreover, the food at the hotel was outstanding! The portions were generous, and the flavors were absolutely delightful. It truly added to the wonderful experience. Our entire stay was worth every penny spent, leaving us with cherished memories of our journey through Sri Lanka. The care, comfort, and hospitality at Red Rock hotel made our time there truly special and unforgettable"

"Thank you for helping us out at the last minute, service was brilliant and could not of been more helpful at such a late hour. Food was spot on and the views on a morning looking up to Horton Plains where dramatic to say the least. A real shame we could not of stayed longer."
