Highly recommend this place! The location is great, only couple hundred meters from the railway station and half an hour drive to the Horton Plains. The hosts are super super friendly and helpful, truly making us feel at home. Dinner is wonderful. Breakfast can be packed for taking away. Room is clean and comfy. Really want to stay longer.

For a simple authentic experience with great management and service you should stay here. Food is cooked fresh and the manager is lovely. We stayed a night and had dinner, breakfast and lunch. Rooms are simple but with a hot shower and very quiet. The other hotels near charge a lot but seem to have less soul!

We visited Horton Plains and were looking for a place that felt safe, peaceful, and like home — and Tea Sprig Villa Boralanda was the perfect find! This is one of the newest and safest villas in the area, and from the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. We stayed for 2 nights, and what made this place even more special is that we were their very first guests — what an honor! 🙏 The family running the villa is super friendly, warm, and caring. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and made with so much love. The clean fresh air, hot water, and beautiful surroundings made us feel like we were in heaven. This place is quiet, clean, and perfect for anyone looking to relax and recharge. We’re so grateful for the hospitality and unforgettable experience. We will definitely come again. Stay safe, and much love to the lovely family! ❤️ — Dinusha Udayanga —

If you look for nature and serenity this is the perfect place to be. The host just was great and most helpful with tipps and any other whishes. He even cleaned our car, as he thought it was too dirty!!! The food just amazing including special whishes. If you want to be out of the main tourist places and find a really beautiful place - go there!

Everything about our stay was fantastic. The host family were so welcoming and kind, and helped us with planning our holiday, not just in Nuwara Eliya but all over Sri Lanka. They also introduced us to a great guide for hiking and transport to Ella. The house and room are exactly as described, the bed really comfortable and the shower the best we experienced in our whole trip.

It was super, super clean! Cleanest place I have been so far in Sri Lanka. Also, the host was super nice and very, very helpful. The breakfast was also very tasty, and the host made us many different things. We also liked the part were the host welcomed us with some nice tea and coffee and sat with us to explain to us the "to-do's" of the area.

It was a real pleasure to stay at Forest Cyniciam Homestay, Mahinda & Muthu are adorable and easy-going, communication was easy, the place is very quiet with a very nice view from the garden. The room was pleasant and clean, and the hosts serve delicious sri lankan meals! This stay was my best in Sri Lanka, thank you so much

Amazing homestay, very nice and helpful family. The room was very clean and comfortable. The location is very close to the Horton Plains, family helped us arrange a tuktuk at 6:30 am to get there. They also cooked us two delicious dinners and even helped to take care of my boyfriend’s sprained ankle.

What a warm and friendly welcome we had at this lovely home stay. It really did feel like being welcomed in to a family home. Nothing was too much trouble as they were both incredibly kind and thoughtful hosts. The meals ( dinner and breakfast) were delicious. The rooms were cosy and warm at night despite being do high up in the mountains. A very convenient location for exploring the Horton Plains. Lovely to meet the cats and to see the flowers in the garden.

It is the Best place in Ohiya for sure! The place is run with much devotion and love and you can feel that all along. Its so clean and neat and the family who runs it is adorable. They are just lovely people, open, helpfull, generous. And then there is the food: it was by far the best homestay cooking we experienced throughout our whole trip. Go there and find out for yourself, you woun't regret it, promise! ....and Horton Plains was a beautiful hike and really worth it, too by the way :)

For me, the outstanding home stay experience of my time in Sri Lanka. Very nice and helpful family, helped with transport and meals. Peaceful hillside forest location, close to the Ohiya Station hamlet. Tea and biscuits on the terrace. Horton Plains visit.

The family who runs the homestay is the friendliest there can be. They helped us with tips from the tuk tuk to making plans for Hortons Plains. They prepared us a breakfast package so we could go very early to Hortons Plains. They prepared a lovely dinner which was very tasty(we had fried rice with vegetable side). We were grateful to find such a nice family in Sri Lanka
