Green Gregory Villa Nuwara Eliya

Very comfortable beds, peaceful location. Brilliant value for money. Family were friendly and attentive. Family even cooked us evening meal for a very reasonable fee.

Nothing

The location, the room, surrounding views, Amenities in the room, free parking facility. The hosts Manoj and Priyanka are very helpful, welcomed with good smile, showing positive vibes. They allowed us to use their cooker, gas stove to make our rice. There are 2 independent rooms with private bathroom and a common mini kitchen with refrigerator and a dining table with chairs between the rooms. It was too cold about 11°c, but there were 2 big comforter available, so felt very cozy.

The hot water facility (Geyser) needs to be upgraded to match with the temperature.

We only stayed for one night but the room was big and clean and the owners were very friendly! The scenary from the porch was also lovely.

The location isn't bad but it is a bit outside of the city so expect to take some tuk-tuks.

The property is located in a peaceful area, away from the busy town, with a lovely view over the tea plantations. The structure is well maintained, and the room was comfortable and quite clean.

There were several aspects that made my stay less enjoyable, mainly related to the overall level of hospitality. Upon arrival, I asked for a bucket to wash some clothes (Washing machine not available) and a place to hang them, but my request was not followed up on and ignored. Communication throughout the stay felt a bit challenging: I’m not sure if it was due to language barriers, as after traveling for several months in India and Sri Lanka, this had not been an issue elsewhere. I also asked for suggestions on less touristy things to do in the area, but I was mainly directed to standard attractions like the town center, Gregory Park, or Pedro Tea Estate. Unfortunately, I was recovering from food poisoning during my stay, so I couldn’t try the meals offered. However, the prices ($8 for dinner and $5 for breakfast) seemed relatively high compared to other places. No one checked in on how I was feeling, which would have been appreciated. Additionally, the check-out time listed on Booking was 12:00, but I was asked to leave at 11:00 due to another reservation. While I was allowed to leave my luggage, this was still inconvenient. At the check out I tried also to explain my disappointment but this was just poorly managed. There are also small details that could be improved, such as the absence of Wi-Fi and the very small towel provided. Overall, while the place itself is nice, I didn’t feel particularly welcomed compared to many other accommodations I experienced in Sri Lanka.
