My stay at the home stay was truly delightful. The hosts made me feel like a part of their family, and the quiet location away from the bustling city was just what I needed. The food was exceptional, and I loved learning about the local culture. However, it was a bit challenging to find, and if you don't have your own transport, it could be difficult to get around.

Our stay at Mount Haven was an absolute delight! The hospitality we received made us feel right at home, and the clean and spacious room provided a wonderful retreat. However, we did experience an unfortunate mishap with our booking that left us at another hotel for a night.

I spent a night at this homestay, and it was an amazing experience overall! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The peaceful location was a welcome escape from the city noise, but it was a bit tricky to get there. I loved the authentic Sri Lankan dinner they prepared for me. However, make sure to have your own transport as it’s quite remote.

My experience at Mount Haven was quite disappointing. While the surroundings had a lovely view, I encountered major issues with the service upon arrival. The hotel mismanaged my booking, sending me to a subpar alternative that was far from acceptable. However, I did enjoy the home-cooked breakfast when I stayed with friendly hosts at a different location, which was a positive aspect of my trip. Overall, I'd recommend caution if considering this hotel.
