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!

Attractively set in Adams Peak, Daffodils Inn provides a tour desk and free private parking. With river views, this accommodation offers a balcony.

Perfect for a night stay to climb Adams peak. The meals were delicious. They serve breakfast after we were back from Adams peak which was very convenient. Its about a 10min walk from the start of the path.

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.

Location is perfect - short walk to the start of the Adam‘s Peak hike. I found the room to be very quiet and peaceful with a very comfortable bed. It was pretty basic (no tv, no kettle, no chair) but I was only there for the climb so I didn‘t spent much time there. Bathroom had a very modern shower and enough hot water. I could here the little stream outside which was beautiful and calming. I didn’t hear any street noise. The hosts were welcoming and friendly. I had dinner and breakfast at the hotel which I both enjoyed. The bathroom was a bit smelly when I got there but the smell disappeared over night. There were some minor electrical problems with the room light flickering quite a bit. Wifi is only available in the main area, does not extend to the room.

In a central area of Adams Peak, Pine Trees Homestay features mountain views from the balcony. The property has lake and garden views, and is 6.3 km from Adam's Peak.

A wonderful, simple, family-run place with a good breakfast and good tips and discussions with the owners. A suitable starting point for a pilgrimage to Adam' Peak, which is the ultimate highlight.

    It is the best homestay I’ve been to in Sri Lanka. The family was great, nice and helpful. The room was big, very clean and they provided everything I need. Wifi was also good. And I had a really good Sri Lankan breakfast. I truly recommend to come here and meet this excellent family!
