Volunteer Ceylon, hotel in Ratnapura

Set just 46 km from Avissawella Railway Station, Volunteer Ceylon provides accommodation in Ratnapura with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as full-day security.

Our recent stay at Volunteer Ceylon was very nice. Our host welcomed us with warm hospitality, he was very friendly, always ready to assist with any requests, and offered great insights and recommendations for local attractions and activities. He also helped us organize a tour in and around Ratnapura. The accommodations were comfortable and clean. The rooms were spacious and equipped with AC and a balcony to make the stay very pleasant. Moreover, the location of Volunteer Ceylon is perfect for both relaxation and exploration. It is located a bit up the hill and therefore it is quiet but in walking distance to Ratnapura Main Street. Overall, my experience at Volunteer Ceylon was fantastic.

Hugging Clouds, hotel in Ratnapura

Hugging Clouds is situated in Maskeliya, 33 km from Nuwara Eliya. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant. There is a shared lounge at the property.

I would say it was one of my favorite places to stay in Sri Lanka in terms of everything. We went to Nallathanniya to go to Adam's Peek so we weren't expecting much but the owners and the place exceeded our expectations. The place is old and looks like it's not finished yet but it was really clean and enough for us. They helped us with lighting for the night hike and prepared our breakfast (Sandwiches) in advance for the summit. The sandwiches were really tasty and fresh. We didn't want to search for food on Google in the evening so we tried it from the hotel and it was great. I would definitely recommend eating here instead of eating out. Their food is fresh and delicious.

    Marvellous location at the edge of a forest reserve with lots of biodiversity Quiet location in a largely pedestrian neighbourhood Host family made our stay memorable, this was the loveliest host family in Sri Lanka, our kids were so happy to play with the "big kids". The owner made sure our activities went smoothly, he took us around in his car. The porch area & massive trees in the garden provide enough shade to relax under the blistering heat.
