Prakash and other staff members were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They took care of us very well. What is even more impressive was the food made by Chef Prakash. We are originally from Sri Lanka, and we have had plenty of Sri Lankan food, including home cooked food. But the Rice and curries dinner we had here was unique and the best we ever had. We had a great mountain view from the room and balcony, and were able to enjoy the Sunrise directly from the room.

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.

A truly magical place, we had the most amazing stay.
A unique small boutique hotel up in the mountains with stunning views, wonderful staff and delicious food.
The manager, Eranda is so sincere and knowledgeable about the flora and fauna. He took us on a walk to the waterfall in the grounds and we had a very informative talk about nature. Such a lovely man.
I can't recommend Capoe House enough, it's the nicest place we have ever stayed.

Almost everything. Location was close to Horton Plains and the owners arranged a tuk tuk ride for a nominal fee. Lovely surrounding. Food was tasty and ample given. Really worth it. Owners were friendly and made the guests feel at home.

Ohiya is a place definitely worth to go.
Ohiya is a place definitely worth to go. Horton Plains are absolutely gorgeous, but even the unusual forests around Ohiya, birds, other animals and all the plants (especially flowers and coniferous species) are worth to see. We loved the mysterious weather, hot mornings, misty afternoons or evenings, and beautiful nights with distant thunderstorms. This place is fabulous and we wish to come back again.
Best restaurant for us was staying at Muthu Nisindi in Forest Cyniciam Holiday Bungalow. And her husband Mahinda took care of us with his tuk-tuk, being always on time, always prepared to stop to show us an an animal or answer question or wish.
We definitely recommend animal watching around the village, walks in forest, eating all the food you can and going to Horton Plains at least for two days to hike through all the paths available, we managed to do just 2 hikes and will come back once to see the rest.

Ohiya is the nearest town to Horton Planes and Worlds End,...
Ohiya is the nearest town to Horton Planes and Worlds End, UNESCO World Heritage site. Horton Planes is home to 20/27 endangered bird species. Hike is approximately 9km loop. One can visit many other natural wonders from Ohiya including Bambara Kanda, Iddamalgasdeniya Railway Station. There are 14 railway tunnels between Ohiya and Iddamalhasdeniya railway stations. Other attractions include several watrefalls.
This stay is very rustic, in a good kind of way. The host where very simple people, always kind and smiling. They prepared us tea all the time because it is very cold in Ohiya and it was great. We came late because we had problems with transfer, but they still prepared us a full and tasty dinner. We arranged transfer to Horton's Plains through the hosts and they prepared us breakfast for our morning ride. There was hot water but no heating. This is a great place to stay, just don't forget to bring warm clothing.
A fabulous view in this so quiet and peaceful little village . The staff here are the stars and the Prakash’s cooking produced some of the best food we have had in Sri Lanka . We stayed three nights to walk a couple of days on the Pekoe Trail .
I can’t emphasise enough how the cream here go out of their way to help and assist . We hope to return one day as we skipped Horton Ppalin but the walk down the Devil’s staircase was spectacular .
Everything. Perfect location. Very close to Horton plains. Beautiful view of the sunrise from the garden. They take care of animals, which is a big plus. Very nice hosts, if you get up early at Horton Plains, they prepare a delicious takeaway breakfast. Dinners are also delicious, typical Sri Lankan cuisine. The room was very clean, very well equipped. The best stay in Sri Lanka and we were in many places for a month. Perfect!
The family who runs the homestay is the friendliest there can be. They helped us with tips from the tuk tuk to making plans for Hortons Plains. They prepared us a breakfast package so we could go very early to Hortons Plains. They prepared a lovely dinner which was very tasty(we had fried rice with vegetable side). We were grateful to find such a nice family in Sri Lanka
The family was very warm and welcoming.
The room is part of the home, making for an intimate experience.
The home had a nice view of the surrounding area and the dinner and breakfast was tasty Sri Lankan cuisine. The family also gave us a recommendation for a local walk which we really enjoyed.
Thanks for having us!
New attractive rooms, everything was very clean. View is very beautiful. Everybody is very friendly and dinner was delicious. They cooked for us although there was power cut. Hotel is easy to reach by walk from Ohiya train station. Perfect starting point to World‘s end, owner arranged to bring us there.
The host was very helpful in giving advice on exploring the area. The vibe in the evenings is a great experience - they have a local party where the locals play a steel drum and sing Sri Lankan songs. The location is conveniently situated for access to Horton Plains and the nearby Devil's Staircase.
A good memory from the Ohiya. Even though it was raining both days of our stay and we could not visit the hiking trails in this area, the unique view of the hotel and kind staff made us have a good time.
And there is good point for this hotel; it's near to train station
Staff were incredible, so friendly. Beautiful Sri Lankan food cooked for us each morning and evening. The views were amazing, definitely recommend watching the sunrise from bed!
The staff were great with recommendations for hikes in the area too. Thanks guys!
The location is 300mtrs from the Ohiya railway station. The building is old but clean. The beds were exceptionally comfy. The guesthouse keeper Chanaka is very friendly and was very helpful. Also he's a fantastic cook. 100% value for money.
Dinner was excellent. One of the best we had in Sri Lanka. same for breakfast, the hoppers were delightful. The hosts were accomodating and made tea for us upon arrival on request.
One of the rooms we had had an exceptional view
Nice hotel. Basic room, but the owners were really friendly and good. They made me a big dinner, arranged a Tuk Tuk to get to World’s End and gave me a packed lunch. Ohiya is also a nice location. Recommended if you’re there.
the view was breathtaking, sunset and sunrise were very beautiful
the owner has very good English and is a pleasant person to talk with
location is very close to Horton Plains and Devil’s staircase
When I ask before putting the booking that can we reach the hotel by a car they said yes
But actually you can reach the hotel 2KM before the hotel
The walk path is also very bad
So i didn’t go
Hospitality excellent. They provided great dinners, pickup from train station, and transport to Horton Plains park. I was the first booking after Covid on this site and they certainly spoiled me.
