Definitely our best accommodation in Sri Lanka. Both the room and the bathroom are super clean, comfortable, and well maintained - extra points for the high water pressure and hot water. The food is amazing, we tried the dinner too. Hosts and all staff members are super friendly. 100% recommended 😊

We were greeted by the family. The young man helped carry our bags into the room. He offered us tea and coffee. He was very polite and helpful. He did his job with heart and love. The accommodation is in the mountains at an altitude of about 2000m. In the evenings the temperature drops to about 15C. You need to wear a jacket in the evenings. The locals also wear wool hats. But this is clearly unnecessary. Double fleeces for sleeping in the room. It's good to be able to wear a blouse with longer sleeves if you're afraid of the cold. The room is nice and clean. Comfortable beds. TV in the room. Common dining area for three rooms with fridge. Breakfast was made by the hostess. It was delicious: toast, jam, butter, sausages, fruit, pancakes, jackfruit sauce on bread.

Incredibly lovely and warm host family. We were greeted by Ajith and Priya with tea and biscuits and immediately connected with the family and the other guests. In the evening they cooked the most delicious dinner for us and the breakfast was really yummy with different local specialties. We learned many facts about the current situation in Sri Lanka which was really interesting. The big room we slept in was recently renovated, we got two warm blankets and there was even a hairdryer and a place to prepare tea which was super nice as it gets cold in the evenings. Thank you for making us feel welcome in your home! I can truly recommend AGP Home.

Perfect stay! Highly Recommend! Host - A lovely family of 4. They are one of the most helpful and kind people I have ever met. They will always try to make your stay great. Their local wisdom is something that made the trip great! Rooms - They have 2 rooms. They are modest with good washroom facility and hot water. They have a kitchen and dining space too. Views - From the rooms, you can get a breath-taking view of tea gardens. You can't see the lake but the tea plantation hill view is more than worth it. Location- although it doesn't show on google maps, but you can walk down to the Lake Gregory easily within 10 mins through a short cut. The hosts will guide you. Convenient location if you wanna stay in Gregory Lake area. PickMe rides and food delivery is available here. The area is extremely quiet too. So if you are here to relax, this is the place!

We loved our stay with Roshan and Amali. The location was great - up the hill with nice views and quiet from the busy town (easily walkable, but Roshan also dropped us a few times). Roshan and Amali know good local food spots and helpful with their knowledge, we even had a nice dinner together out with their friends which made our stay. I’d recommend staying here, it’s great value for money in the area, and the hosts are very kind.

Super family run Guest House ideally situated. Keeth was a great host, extremely friendly and helpful in every way... we enjoyed our long conversations with him. The bedroom was huge, clean and comfortable. Hot water bottles and extra blankets were provided for cold nights and the Sri Lankan breakfasts delicious. Highly recommended for a stay in Nuwara Eliya
