Madhusha Rest

The rooms are in awful condition. The furniture and appliances seem to be at least 20 years old. No toilet paper, no amenities. No towels. Chunks of dirt all over the room, table, bathroom. Spider nets everywhere. Giant jumping spiders inhabiting the whole hotel. Toilet doesn't flush and leaks. Definitely overpriced. I wouldn't stay there again even if I was paid for it.

Nice place and great owner. The owner was really helpful, he showed me around and helped make a route for the rest of my travel. Very caring and friendly. And the location is walking distance from a heavenly spot. Highly recommend the place especially if you’re a solo travel.

I really enjoyed my stay with Hemantha and his family. The house is very close to the most amazing view over the lake towards Adams peak. 10 minutes walk and you have such a stunning view!
Also Hemantha was extremely helpful in planning my trips in Maskeliya and also my further steps on my holiday. He knows very much about the region and about the tea production/ cultivation and his English is very advanced.
The room was clean, big, the bed the most comfortable that I've had during my 7 week journey.
All in all amazing!

Hamantha is a wonderful owner. He will provide you with insights and guide you to the best places! His English is very good which makes it easy to have conversation about any topic. The Homestay has a 20 year old guess book with National Geographic in it. I had my own bathroom and enough privacy.just a tip: make sure to take the 2nd blanket that you are being offered. Sometimes in the night it can get cold.

Awesome place to stay if you travel around Maskeliya or Sri Pada. Can reach Gartmore falls in about 40 minutes from here. Good service and facilities for a very reasonable price. Caretaker is very friendly and gives full description about the attractions nearby. There is a great view point near the rest, with a stunning view of Maussakele reservoir and the Sri Pada. Highly recommended.

Arriving in Maskelya very spontaneously we were really happy to find this place a bit outside of the city, nicely located next to the riverside and only a few minutes away from a great view on the lake and the Adams peak. The hosts were super supportive and helped us finding the best places to see around here. Although there was a strike during our stay, shops were closed and public transport didn't run, we managed to get to see the beautiful scenery and some waterfalls and had a great dinner in the accommodation. Definetly a place I would reccomend.

Super friendly host, willing to give endless tips and tricks.
