    The room was very humid so clothes got a bit damp and water was runninh down one wall.

    The room was clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed and more. The breakfast was good and the hot shower was perfect. Everything was comfortable and the host family was super friendly!

    It is quite above the city where the view is very beautiful, both the lady and her husband were very polite and nice people, welcomed very well. As long as I stayed, their Wi-Fi did not work at all. If I did not have a mobile SIM network, it would have been very difficult

    Shiny View in Nuwara Eliya is a highly recommended guesthouse offering clean, comfortable accommodations and exceptional hospitality. Nestled in a serene hillside location, it provides stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The friendly hosts who go above and beyond, providing valuable information about local attractions and train timings that we inquired. The homely breakfast is a highlight, with delicious, freshly prepared meals that add to the comfort of the stay. With amenities like free Wi-Fi, parking, and a communal kitchen, the guesthouse provides a convenient and comfortable stay for all visitors!

    Wifi worked but only worked for certain apps… this seems a bit old fashioned and should be updated.

    Very clean but basic, perfect for a 1 or 2 days. Guesthouse was around a 20 minute walk into Nuwara Eliya town. Breakfast was good. Very good price

    Nothing bad. Keep in mind that the location is up on a hill. You probably have to take tuktuk there if you have heavy luggage. If you arrive by train to Nanuoya, try to get good price from there directly to the premises.

    -Comfy bed -Hot shower -Good blanket

    Very nice hosts. Communication was a bit rough, but they were very welcoming and helpful. They even prepared breakfast to go when we left at 5 in the morning. The location was nice, but it's a bit up a hill. For us this is perfect so the area is a bit calmer. The shower was the best we've had in Sri Lanka. Overall the accommodation was basic, but it fitted our needs.

    Room space is little small, while they only have 1 plug in the room

    The whole Nuwara Eliya is over priced while this property provides fair price. Their breakfast are awesome, and the hot shower have good water pressure

    The wi-fi worked on the first night but then stopped working entirely on the second day. The walls are paper thin so you’ll be able to hear other people’s conversations.

    The homestay is located at the top of a hill, but it’s still only a 10 minute walk into town via the short cut. The rooms were super clean & we were glad to have hot water. The breakfast was absolutely delicious & really set us up for the day. Great value for money!

    Found only one power outlet, quite unhandy next to door and no table to put phone. No soundproof walls.

    Very welcoming owner. Got some delicious breakfast. Comfortable bed. Hot shower. Clean room and bathroom. It's a bit uphill in a quiet area, still walkable to center. Nice view from rooftop.

    It is located 15min walk from city center but as we have known this before, it has not been a problem for us. The only pity has been, that the room is very cold during the night.

    The hosts are very nice & helpful - we got tea served after arrival & the breakfast has been great. The view from roof top is pretty amazing :)
