Situated in Ratnapura, Rathna Gems Halt is 42 km from Avissawella Railway Station. This guest house offers free private parking and luggage storage space.

I arrived in the morning before my room was ready and before contacting the owner in the hope that I would be able to have a tour of a gem mine and market and buy some gems with an expert! I was very lucky and the owner helped me with the request and I had the most incredible time. The hotel is in a beautiful location overlooking the mountains. They were very accommodating and I had a great dinner there. Overall had a fantastic experience staying here. The next time I come I will come back to stay here as they also offer a gem-cutting course and the staff were incredible!

In a central area of Adams Peak, Vegetable Garden House features sea views from the patio. The property has mountain and lake views, and is less than 1 km from Adam's Peak.

I had a really nice stay here! The location was absolutely perfect—just a short walk from the start of the Adam’s Peak trail, which made my early morning hike so much easier. The room was clean, comfy, and had everything we needed for a good night’s rest before the climb. Staff were friendly and helpful too. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Well located in Adams Peak, Water Side Residence provides a continental breakfast and free WiFi. This guest house offers free private parking and room service.

The accommodation Waterside Residence was in an excellent location to start a hike to Adam’s Peak. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and cozy, offering a beautiful view of a river and the surrounding nature. However, in the evening and at night, there was a slight odor coming from the bathroom drain, which could be improved. Apart from that, it was a perfect value for money.

Good location close to Adams Peak, with nice views towards the Peak from our balcony. The hotel is ok, but a bit tired, but was very cheap.

Good to start the trail, can be a bit noisy with people passing but was not a problem for me, nice room and dining room :)

    The host was very friendly and helpful. He took us to a mine for 8000 Lkr without transportation because we had our own Tuktuk. The host tried to answer all of our questions about mining and he was very patient. The bed was comfortable and in the family room there was a mosquito net over the big bed.

    Very good quality-price. Room was spacious and comfortable with AC. The swimming pool is great, and has amazing views. We could use it free of charge. Breakfast was good as well: fresh fruit, eggs, sausages, bread with butter and jam, and coffee/tea. Room was clean.

    If you are looking for secluded and peaceful location - that’s your destination. Really beautiful place with tremendous view and sound of mountain river. With touch of style in the yard and attractive interior, lots of design details pleasant to an eye. Clean and comfortable. The hostess treated to tasty Sri-Lanka dinner and tea. At the same time allowed us to use kitchen to cook for our children. Also helped us getting to the tyre service when we found out that one of tyres had a puncture.

    Nice quiet location. Backed onto rainforest. Nice balcony to watch the thunderstorm from. Big rooms, A/C available. The local guide, Sampa, was an absolute legend and offered to show me around Ratnapura even though I hadn’t previously enquired. He is somewhat affiliated with the accommodation, so he just turned up. Helped me navigate the hospital, and fast. (Needed a vaccination). Spending time with him ended up being a highlight of the trip.

    The room is perfect, super clean, big, quiet, natural light, fresh air, no mosquitoes. The price quality relationship is outstanding. They cook good breakfast too. The room is a bit outside the city center.

    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.
