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.

Very nice guesthouse to stay in Ohiya. It's located close to Horton Plains National Park.Transport to the park can be arranged by the guesthouse. Large rooms with bathrooms and common garden. The staff is veeeeery friendly and if you need to solve any issue, it is solved quickly. Very friendly boss, always ready to help. The food served in the guesthouse is amazing, one of the best we tried in Sri Lanka.If you order the dinner be prepared for huge portions! Perfect place to stay near Horton Plains!!
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.

Loved the place, extended the stay to have a good sleep and good rest between hikes in Ohiya area. Wonderful hosts. Muthu is an excellent cook, ask for a cooking class if you stay a few nights. Guest room was in a separate cottage, all is clean and well maintained. Extra blankets if you get cold)) Located 10 min from the train station in the nearby forest. There’s wonderful smell of eucalyptus and cintronia in the air.
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 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.
Really great staff and owners. Stylish terrace and rooms, very spacious and clean. Everything is new and clean and feels very comfortable. The food was really nice and I was always offered tea and bottled water. Best location to do trips around, especially Horton Plains National Park. I would highly recommend this hotel and definitely come back!
The family was amazing! Very kind and thoughtful.
My train was cancelled due to the rain and they kindly picked me up at the nearest town.
Rooms were spotless. Incredible mountain and sunrise view. Seamless transfer to Horton with packed meal.
Diner/Breakfast was prepared with love by the mom. Offered coffee and tea with biscuits.
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
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.
Lovely hotel located just a short walk from Ohiya railway station. Perfect for visiting Horton Plains. The room was very spacious and the views were one of the best we've had for a stay in Sri Lanka.
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
