Oh I cannot say enough good things about Bawa Guesthouse. The View is fabulous, rooms are affordable yet full of comfort, the water hot, the atmosphere inspiring, the house cat adorable (seriously, I love the cat) and the food, oh the food! Words cannot describe the beautiful tastes that Mrs. Bawa creates. The Bawa's are such beautiful people, they left... More

How friendly can a family be! This is more a homestay than a guesthouse since they rent out 5 rooms in a building on the grounds of their own premises. You eat in the living room of the family where you are more than welcome. The food cooked is a really nice veg. and curry and not expensive at all.... More

When we arrived at Haputale station after 6 hour train journey, the person from other guesthouse kindly called them and let us know that they forgot our reservation and reconfirmation on email. We had to wait more than 30 minutes at the little tea shop next to the station in uneasy feeling... But anyway, they appeared to pick us up... More

Very friendly owner. We got from him a lot of useful informations about Sri Lanka and what have to see. The room was spacious with hot water and mainly, with nice view from balcony. I can recommend, when you want to visit tea planatations near Lipton' s Seat and a tea factory Dambatene.

A good guesthous with spectacular view and friendly owners. At first when we couldn't find where this guesthouse is, a man proposed to take us there and it ended up that he came from another hotel. Luckily, Mr. Bawa popped out from his place and introduced us that he is from this Bawa Guesthouse. We we followed him and after... More

Run by a very friendly family, this place is in a very quiet environment - a ten minutes walk to town. Fahad (the son of the owner) came to pick us up at the train station for free and gave plentiful of information on the surroundings without trying to sell anything, which is more than appreciable in Sri Lanka!

Actually I was amazed by how this simple guesthouse managed to provide us with the best guesthousing experience in all Sri Lanka. It looks very simple from outside, but deep inside it is really gorgeous! For guest house owners it is more than only business - it is a lifestyle. Bawa's place runs by a very friendly and cheerful Muslim... More
