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.

First of all, I want to say about the staff. Their humanity was at its best. Very friendly. I love that. We were treated better than we thought. The room also has a very clean bathroom with comfortable beds. The environment is very quiet. It's a very beautiful small village surrounded by a forest. The food is very tasty and refreshing . Hope to go there again . Much love that place .

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.
We spend one night in Ohiya Jungle to go to the Horton Plains. The family Organized a transport to the Horton Plains the next day. There you can see a beautiful sunset, some wild animals. We went to the worlds end, which is a half day tour. If there is more to do here, we did not know.
The place is comfortable with fireplace and sitting area. The food was delicious as well.
As a plus, we could cancel the 2nd night of our reservation and we hope this did not cause too much trouble.

The Hill Safari is beautifully situated on a hill. The rooms are very nice with a huge panoramic window, very comfortable beds and warm blankets. There is also a mosquito net. I felt comfortable all around. All the people there contribute to a wonderful and unforgettable stay. The food is very tasty and excellent. I went on several walks in the surrounding area. It is all so peaceful and beautiful, I will definitely be back. Thank you for everything.
- The exceptional warmth and kindness of the hosts, Muthu and Mahinda, who couldn’t do enough to make guests feel welcome and at home
- Muthu’s incredible cooking—the best food I had during my monthlong travel in Sri Lanka, including a stay at a fancy resort hotel
- The beautiful, peaceful setting, especially at sunrise
- A short tuktuk ride to Horton Plains
The hotel is quite new and partially still under construction. The rooms are very big and they provide all the comforts needed. The hotel also have a restaurant where it is possible to have something to eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Finally the area around the restaurant is super quiet and it's super easy to get deep in to the surrounding nature.
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 rooms were clean, very comfortable, and they gave to tasty meals until were check out. They Warmley welcome us and treated amazingly. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this lodge for anyone visiting ohiya- Haputhale.
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
The people who run this place are very friendly, and the old lady cooks very nice curry, and very cheaply too. If you are a group, having the bungalow with three bedrooms and a small living room to yourself is very nice.
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.
I’m very happy that I decided to stay at this homestay. The owners are extremely nice and supportive, the place feels like home and I think it’s the best place to stay in Ohiya :)
Lovely location with beautiful view and drive. Close to Horton plains. The family was very friendly and made you feel like home. Food was tasty and was the best.
