Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The Bungalow is situated within a former tea estate and is a place where the modern hospitality meets the colonial charm. The staff is super friendly and is very attentive to the needs of the guests. They are very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and will provide information about the tourist sites around the area. Wifi is available and the room that we stayed in was very spacious.
Negative: The pillows were not very comfortable and the road to the Bungalow could use an upgrade.
Summary: A lovely place where modern hospitality meets colonial charm. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

Positive: This is a truly magical place. It is in the most beautiful, secluded setting with stunning views across the valley. We were at Strathisla for 3 nights and 4 days and it was well and truly worth it. While we were using it as a base to explore nearby Kandy and Sigiriya, we could easily have just hung out at Strathisla for its truly peaceful environment and amazing service. Morthy and Jaku looked after us so beautifully and arranged trips and a driver for us, with Jaku taking us on a walk around the village and sharing his knowledge about the local flora and fauna we saw. The food was absolutely incredible: each night we had at least 5 different curries and dishes freshly cooked by the excellent chef. I might actually say it was the best food we had in Sri Lanka. For some old school charm, incredible views and wonderful people, Strathisla is perfect. It is not a modern house so please don’t expect all the latest tech or facilities like air con, but this is what made it so epic.
Summary: Charming stay in an unbelievably beautiful location and run by fantastic, caring staff.

Positive: We had a wonderfully quiet and relaxing stay here, with our standout experience being the fantastic cooking class we took with the owner’s wife whose recipes we’ll cherish for a long time. Lovely to get some clean air, kick back in an old tea plantation house and enjoy the views and nature.
Negative: Fans were available but AC would have been a pleasant addition.
Summary: Beautiful, relaxing and friendly stay

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Good location/climate. Peaceful and relaxing, surrounded by bird sounds. Comfortable old tea estate guest house. Lush garden. Excellent staff Moorthy and Dino (cook) who took care of us. Longer and shorter walks from the property, need to be able to manage hills. Transportation can be organised if required.
Summary: Comfortable, welcoming tea estate guest house

Positive: The view from this property is breathtaking of a tropical mountains and forest. Something you see in the movies. Beautifully maintained garden. The host is very kind and helpful and clearly wants to make your stay as best as it can be. The trip to the village was very interesting (better early morning as it gets hot later), a big thank you to the lovely guide. We had all meals at the property as I think was the only option having in mind the difficult last 500m of road and the location. The food was good local cuisine.
Negative: The property needs a little investment to make the stay more comfortable and enjoyable. Like fresh paint, cleaner sofas in living rooms, updated bathrooms, mosquito nets on the windows (it was difficult to arrange the net above my bed which clearly needed replacement). There's no A/C in the room so it was hot and very humid in the evening (it rained a lot). Also the lights in the room need rethinking. The path that leads to property is more suitable for tuktuk, not a car. Beware leeches in the grass after rain, one had a feast of me as I didn't expect there's such thing.
Summary: Tropical paradise
