Incredibly lovely and warm host family. We were greeted by Ajith and Priya with tea and biscuits and immediately connected with the family and the other guests. In the evening they cooked the most delicious dinner for us and the breakfast was really yummy with different local specialties. We learned many facts about the current situation in Sri Lanka which was really interesting. The big room we slept in was recently renovated, we got two warm blankets and there was even a hairdryer and a place to prepare tea which was super nice as it gets cold in the evenings. Thank you for making us feel welcome in your home! I can truly recommend AGP Home.

Small hotel, with comfortable bed & enough blankets! The breakfast was amazing, and the hotel staff was also really kind. The furnitures are old, but it wasn't an issue for us. We got towels and we could have a hot shower after our long day. Enjoyed our stay, thanks!

Roshan and his family are lovely people. The first night I arrived they were celebrating a birthday party and invited me to join and also eat their food. I drank arack and danced the night away. I couldn't walk for days after that and had a hangover the next day but it was all worth it. The room itself is cosy and the bed comfortable. If you want a nice friendly host family this is the one.

Super family run Guest House ideally situated. Keeth was a great host, extremely friendly and helpful in every way... we enjoyed our long conversations with him. The bedroom was huge, clean and comfortable. Hot water bottles and extra blankets were provided for cold nights and the Sri Lankan breakfasts delicious. Highly recommended for a stay in Nuwara Eliya
