8/10 Very good

The most beautiful pool and surroundings Staff was helpful. Amazing views and quiet rooms! Pool bar and food overall were not up to a 5 star hotel, but beautiful surroundings
Verified review

6/10 Good

The pool and views around the hotel were amazing and the bed was very comfy. However the food in the restaurant was bad, no amenities in the rooms, and staff not very helpful in arranging transport to get to town.

We stayed at Simpson’s one week, and what a week. Staff very very kind and service minded. Facilities excellent in the middle of an area with amazing nature and great wildlife. Food excellent. We had the pleasure to make local food with one of the chefs and travel to knuckles mountains, explore the tea plantage and may other exiting adventures. We will be back again as soon as possible:-)

Amazing place!!!

This place is a paradise corner. I would definitely rate it as a 5* resort due to its picturesque views, infinity pool, nature friendly approach, high customer service, intimacy and so much more. LOCATION: on the top of a peak, in the middle of the luxuriant forest. Pretty intimate, only 18 rooms for a huge domain. CLEANLINESS: Very clean and properly maintained. STAFF: One of the best customer service I experienced in Sri Lanka. Very attentive with their guest, going above and beyond to provide one of a kind type of service to each customer. FACILITIES: Did I mention about that infinity pool? It's way better in real life. Breakfast on the terrace with amazing views and birds twitting around you. It's a beautiful location for hosting events as well since they have plenty of space. They even have a tracking path, a gym and a helipad! What else would you wish for? It is definitely the best value for the money in that part of Sri Lanka. You won't be disappointed if you choose this hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

Es handelt sich um eine sehr große und gepflegte Hotelanlage mit sehr aufmerksamen Personal und tollem infinity pool. Beim Spaziergang rund um die Anlage hat man eine schöne Sicht in die Teeplantagen und kann auch Affen begegnen. Nachteilig ist, dass das Hotel etwas abgelegen ist und eher eine vornehme Anonymität herrscht.

Fantastic location within an Tea estate up in the hills. You can take walks with a guide who will show/tell you about different animals and plants. There is an amazing infinity pool with beautiful views. Rooms are spacious and nice. Staff is wonderful. A perfect place if you want peace and quiet.
