This is a very good place that you can spend your night if you are looking for a low price budgeted room. Since the owner is not available always, and their family members are busy, it's better you can bring what ever you will need during the stay here. Once I ordered food from them and it was delicious. Superb... More

We had rung up the day before to book to stay here and rang again a few hours before we arrived to confirm. When we arrived the owners tried to lie to us and said that the rooms were not available because a woman had been taken ill. Turns out he had let some people stay here an extra night... More

We were fortunate to have the cottage for 2 nights. Mr Dias and family check email frequently, so do book ahead if you would like to have the cottage with views to die for. Mr Dias was also extremely helpful and patient in giving good advice regarding where, what and how to go about things. Dinner was excellent the first... More

Mr Dias the owner with his lovely family runs the place. It has a few spacious rooms with hot water shower, which is absolutely necessary at this cold place. When I'd arrived, the previous guest had forgotten to switch off the hot-water switch, which burnt the water heater. Poor Mr Dias had to bear the costs of replacing the water... More

This is the most friendly host family I have ever stayed with. The owner gives great advice of what to do and more important, what makes sense to do and what not.

We really enjoyed staying here over the new year period. Amazing location and one of the nicest families you will meet anywhere. Incredible views and delicious food. Thank you for making our new year so memorable. We hope to return someday.

One of the highlights of my trip to sri lanka last summer was the stay in Haputale at Dias Rest. I wanted an authentic experience living with locals and a nice view overlooking the hills. At white Monkey I got both. The family is friendly and helpful. Dias is the most experienced guide of the area. His family is lovely.... More

We stayed there as a couple and only by luck found Dias Rest after reading a few travellers reviews. When we arrived we were met by one of the nicest and most accommodating families you will ever meet. We were hoping to get the cottage on the cliff edge but unfortunately it was booked so we stayed in one of... More

We stayed in the cottage of the White Monkey for 2 nights and really loved it. Dias family and the food is great and we had a lot of fun playing Monopoly and card games with the kids while it was stormy outside. Of course, it is not the most luxury place, but what can you expect for the price?... More
