Both service and meals were exceptional. Great views from rooms and the rooftop restaurant. Location convenient for Pekoe trail hiking, wonderful tea plantation walks also behind this homestay. Highly recommend.

The view is absolutely stunning. The breakfast and the dinner was amazing. We went for a quick hike just behind the house and it was very pretty! Surrounded by tea gardens and nature. The place belongs to a lovely family who took care of us so well.
We stayed for one night, our room was a bit small, but absolutely fine for one night. The bathroom was a bit small too, it was hard to use it after taking shower. However they have larger rooms. Next time we will book the larger room.

Lovely homestay with wonderful views from balcony (upstairs room). The family was exceptionally nice and hospitable, making our 2 night stay enjoyable. Room was large - 2 double beds with a nice balcony that can take your breakfast on (or upstairs on the main covered balcony). Good was plentiful and delicious - worth staying for the amazing food! In the area we recommend stage 8 of the Pekeo trail.
Nothing - as on hill getting, walk up (200 meters) may be an issue for those with mobility.

Our hosts were so sweet and helpful after a long walk from the pekoe trail. We slept so soundly in their beds and caught up on our lack of sleep due to jet lag. What an amazing spot will definitely be back!

Covered rooftop restaurant was fabulous as was the food.
Spacious bedroom and balcony.
Saman was amazing at organizing transport and activities, and he drove us half way to our destination and then organized our train ticket.
Without him, it would have been so stressful.
His wife made us feel so very welcome ,did some laundry for us and provided us with a packed breakfast when we left.
Nothing.

Very Good
This place was not on my route but it caught my attention through the pictures and reviews as seemingly something truly amazing and tranquil, so I decided to take that extra 2hr drive and booked the place for two nights only for that - to relax and enjoy the beautiful views and serene environment. Unfortunately, my own stay there did not meet my expectations at all, but despite all the downsides in my experience I believe the place could probably be quite wonderful - especially once their expansion is complete, the views from the upper rooms are probably amazing.
On my arrival, the hosts came to welcome me at the gate both so nicely and warmly, and every time I had to turn to them they were communicating in a humble and lovely manner, always with a smile. I could really feel their effort of wanting to make my stay there as comfortable and enjoyable as possible despite all the setbacks. The place looks very lovely and cosy, beautiful furnishing, decorations, colours, filled with plants. The room is well presented and clean. I especially loved the bathroom smelled nice and fresh. The bed was very carefully and nicely done. Breakfast is really generous, you can also order lunch/dinner, all food is super tasty and can be served on your balcony. If your room is upstairs, you can enjoy quite amazing views. Their wifi was quite fast compared to other places.
Firstly, they had assigned my room to someone else. I had booked the more expensive one upstairs but was given a smaller one downstairs with no privacy and no views. They didn't admit it right away, but did eventually that they had done a mistake. Though I did not expect nor request them to ask the other guests to move anymore, they still went on to do that so after about 40min of waiting as they quickly cleaned and prepared the room, they assigned me the correct room. I was very appreciative of the effort though the whole situation made me feel so uncomfortable.
After some time in the room hearing loud noises of construction it came out they were currently expanding and building another room and a restaurant on upper floors. It is a completely understandable process, however should have definitely been mentioned prior to booking or at least at check-in, as in my case, I went there precisely to have peace and quiet. It was not some mild noise, it was constant drilling and banging throughout the whole day, and though they said they would only start after 9am and finish before 5pm, they were actually starting already at 7am and finishing around 7pm. Additionally, all the movements in the house are easily heard through the walls/doors, and one night they checked in a family at midnight being very loud. So for me, there was no serenity or tranquility whatsoever.
They also lost one of my clothing items when doing laundry, and there were some odd add-on's in my bill, for example two bottles of water I had never requested (unless they charge for the bottles already provided in the room?) and a tea pot I never ordered (unless they charge for the one they welcome you on arrival?). So, in the end, it all gave very mixed feelings as they never apologised for anything other than the room mix-up nor offered any form of compensation, as if all the smiles are actually not that genuine.

Gorgeous bedroom balcony views, AMAZING food, fantastic beds and I can not say enough about Saman and Angelica. We were given a personal walking tour of the tea fields behind their home and they arranged for their friend Sanga, gave us a tuktuk tour of the gorgeous area- stopping along the way to point out plants and animals, interesting sites and a virtually private swimming waterfall experience. He was kind and knowledgeable, sharing his true love and joy for his home country. We were embraced like family and given INVALUABLE advice about our trip that changed everything for the better. We truly now consider this family our friends and have a completely different perspective and appreciation of Sri Lanka thanks to this intimate low tourist authentic experience. Do not hesitate to stop in Dickoya. I could have stayed here long term- amazing hospitality, attention to detail and warmth and kindness in a gorgeous location. A tropical paradise right on your private balcony. We had tears in our eyes when we left- full hearts full bellys and a true sense of awe at what we experienced.
That we didn’t book longer!!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. Saman and his wife did everything and more to make our stay comfortable. Their food is great, breakfast in the balcony with a beautiful view is the highlight of this homestay. They arranged for a tuktuk to take us around the area and the tuktuk driver was very knowledgeable and showed us a lot of places. Don't miss an early morning walk through the tea gardens just above the homestay. Saman also helped us get train tickets to Ella which was a very difficult task considering that all tickets get sold within seconds. It was because of him that we could experience the spectacular train route! They were very warm towards our 6 yr old daughter and overall made us feel very welcome. There is a bit of climbing involved though - very typical of hill stations and nothing that a regular, averagely fit person cannot negotiate.
Would have loved to stay more!

From the moment we arrived, the owners of this incredible honesty and their gorgeous children could not have been more kind! We stayed a couple of night and it was one of the best places we stayed during our time in Sri Lanka! We used it as a base to climb Adam’s Peak which is about an hour away. They kindly provided us with sandwiches when we headed off at midnight for our hike then gave us a delicious late breakfast when we got back! The evening meals were so tasty, I’d definitely recommend trying. Our rooms were so clean, beds super comfortable and bathroom / shower perfect. The Homestay is located within a tea plantation so we appreciated being able to walk straight from the property through the plantation. Having breakfast on the little terrace outside our room listening to the beautiful music in the background was also a highlight.
Nothing not to like!

We had a wonderful stay at the Homestay, the whole family was very welcoming so it really felt like home. They were very helpful with organising our trip to Adams peak and the breakfast and dinners were delicious! We extended our stay for another day but would have liked to stay longer

Hands down the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka (we tried 8!). The terrace in front of our room was perfect to chill after Adams peak. The hosts were kind and knowledgable in hospitality. They were polite and not intrusive. The bed was very comfy - they had what felt to me like 5 star hotel pillows! And the tea plantation right behind the accommodation was a hidden gem. The food was delicious! I wish we had stayed longer
