Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge

最值得称道的地方就是亲近自然。座落在风景优美的茶山上，客房被茶田环绕，景观自然出众。 早餐虽然简单，典型的英式早餐，但是坐在殖民地风格的餐厅里，看着优美的风景，自然觉得一切都值得，而且值得多住几天，细细品味。 与餐厅的优雅装饰相反，房间呈帐篷样，有些简陋朴实。因为雨夜入住，平生第一次遭蚂蟥咬，受了一点惊吓。于是非常仔细地检查每一角落，消灭发现的每一个小虫，这或许就是入住生态旅馆的必然代价。 最有问题的是，离Nuwara Eliya极远。网上标注只有10多公里，那是空中直线距离。实际要开30多公里的山路，要花一个多小时。所以，如果不是要多住几天特别享受茶园风光，建议不要去住。

We enjoyed our stay in this tea estate. The nature is beautiful, good offer of tours and spa, staff always friendly and welcoming. The colonial reception is somewhat unique, definitely a great place. And the view from the room is to die for!! With that said we found the property not up to the standards they claim to have: we had the honeymoon suite, that despite the high price tag came with a tent full of holes and poorly mended. When we checked in there was moldy food in the fridge (again, it happens but for that price it shouldn’t), and there were hair in the shower. We flagged both, they immediately sent cleaning over which removed the moldy food (but didn’t clean the fridge which was dirty) and for the shower the receptionist told us the cleaning staff didn’t find anything (we showed her the picture, so probably they didn’t even bothered to clean the shower). Again, these things shouldn’t happen in a room that goes for 300 USD a night. Restaurant and breakfast is average. Again, given the beauty of the place maybe we had higher expectations.

Location, peace and quiet great staff

The property is great for those who can brave it! It's very difficult to get to the property- Infact the over driver left us 5 kms short refusing to take a'dirt road' We had to do last 5 kms by tuk tuk Wish either the property or Expedia had warned us Once there service and staff were exceptionally nice and views breathtaking! Wish I could say it was worth ot

It was absolutely fantastic. Loved it.

Amazing hotel! The staff was great, views were stunning (we never grew tired of it!) and the room/rent was extraordinary, wonderful to wake up to the view. The staff were very attentive and helped with everything, even a hospital visit was solved in and out within 30 minutes from the request. Breakfast was very good, ala carte menu was average. Very bumpy road to get up there though.

Terrain: The way up was tough especially in rough rainy weather. Be prepared for that! Service Attitude: After my driver and I arrived after a long day, we found no one to receive us at the steps, or even as we went in, the receptionist on night duty ignored us for about 5 minutes while attending to all her other tasks and also speaking t another Caucasian, before realising that we had a booking already. To which suddenly the attitude changed, and I was offered the tea and warm towels. Was given a room that was quite far away from the main area, really cold and tired by the time I'd arrived at the tent. Redeeming factor: Lots of sunshine next day, breakfast was generous and colorful, and they also matched a fun naturalist Kasun to my short trekking that morning. Rooms: Well-designed, nice touches, but cold at night even with the heater. Some insects but that's part of the whole deal. Nice tea inside the tent made it homely. Each tent is not too close to each other, that's good. Overall for the service and location, felt it is a bit overpriced. Did not see any action at the tea plantation / gardens, maybe just not my luck :P

Such an amazing experience staying amongst the clouds. Incredible food, great facilities, and lovely staff. The spa was amazing over looking the mountains and Jesy was a fabulous masseuse. Our kids loved the cooking class. A must visit!!

Our stay at Madulkelle was wonderful - we cannot recommend it enough. The views are breathtaking, staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help us with anything we needed. The rooms/lodges were like our own little paradise up in the clouds. Definitely planning another stay!

We had an incredible stay in Madulkelle! The honeymoon suite was a real treat - the whole property is so tranquil and relaxing. As other reviews have mentioned the food is not great, which is a real pity given the standard of food in Sri Lanka. There can also be some noise from the dogs at night. But these were things we knew in advance and we were happy to book for the scenery. Some changes and this place could be exceptional, but we loved our stay nonetheless.

It is great, fresh mountain air, great massages, beautiful

Vue extraordinaire depuis le chalet bien aménagé. Problème d’eau chaude qui n’a été résolu qu’inextremis, le soir du deuxième jour, malgré de nombreuses demandes... A part ce désagrément, incompatible avec la qualité affichée de cet établIssement, avis positif, personnel charmant. Une recommandation, éditer des plans des ballades à pieds à faire seuls, aux alentours.

What a place. We loved every minute in the Eco-friendly Madulkelle Lodge. The drive there through the endless tea plantation was just amazing and once arrived we were warmly welcomed and rewarded with our most luxurious 'glamping' tent overlooking the spectacular Knuckles Ranges. The hotel itself is located directly in the tea fields and the scenery is absolutely stunning especially from the infinity pool. We did take a four-hour walking tour which was absolutely amazing and highly recommended. Our room was a permanent “tent” and very comfortable, clean and very charming. Each room has a balcony with the same stunning views across the tea plantation. The service was top class and the restaurant food was very good and excellent value. We stayed 4 nights here and didn't want to leave. Highly recommended for nature lovers and would not hesitate to stay there again.

Un magnifique Lodge au milieu des champs de thé où le temps semble suspendu...

We loved our stay here, and didn't want to leave! We had researched in advance so had a good idea of what to expect in terms of accommodation (i.e. glamping) but it out did our expectations. The staff were so welcoming for the 3 nights we were there, especially when doing some of the activities such as the bird watching trek or cooking class which were both great. The tents are amazing, feeling very luxurious with outstanding views over the valley towards the Knuckles. The pool and gardens are very well maintained, and it feels extra special to be in amoungst the tea plantation. FYI we got a private taxi to take us up to the lodge from Kandy, took around an hour and a half (at rush hour). The food was really good, especially breakfast - big breakfast and dinner meant we didn't really need much for lunch. We found our whole stay to be really amazing, and already thinking about to trying to go back!

he rooms and surrounding are stunning. The lodge is let down by the disengaged staff and the imitation Western food. Dinner was $25 dollars each and more expensive than in other high end hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka. The options were limited, the Western food was very poor and the Sri Lankan food was not made authentically. Breakfast was equally poor. The trekking is also overly expensive. We stayed in much better hotels at the same price point.

We loved our 2 night stay here and so far it’s been the best shower we have had! Staff are lovely and friendly. Tents are beautiful, clean and secure. Recommend doing a tea tour for 2 hours we had kumar and he was great.

Beste Aussicht, schönes Spa, gutes Restaurant. Hervorragender Service

Beyond what we expected, a wonderful glamping experience with the most incredible views & first class service. The staff could not do enough for you. We did not want to leave.

Wow, what a great find. Beautiful location and people. Very relaxing setting and a staff that goes above and beyond.
