A beautiful stay filled with calm, care, and freedom
10.0I visited The Backyard Balangoda with my sister and had a wonderful experience. The mountain views are absolutely stunning and create a peaceful atmosphere—it truly felt like I was flying in the freedom sky. The place feels very safe and well-maintained. The service was excellent, with friendly and welcoming staff. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature!

Luxury in a peaceful beautiful setting, with amazing food.
10.0The best views of our Sri Lanka trip. The landscape is amazing, the accommodation both outside and inside is so cool. The garden area is so nice to chill in with Bruno the doberdor. The food and drink was some of the best we had in Sri Lanka (shout out the cinnamon ice cream). Sumith went above and beyond with his hospitality - taking us to Diyaluma falls and enjoying the day with us. The tea making and tasting experience was really cool as well. We will definitely return when back in Sri Lanka.
− Nothing.
pros and cons
7.0The views and surrounding countryside
− The lack of choice for restaurants so we had to dine at the accommodation- the food was just ok and overpriced.

Un’esperienza autentica in una struttura di livello, lontano dal turismo di massa
10.0Abbiamo avuto il piacere di soggiornare in questa struttura moderna e accogliente, immersa nella natura. Non solo è circondata da piantagioni di tè, ma è all’interno di una di queste. La struttura dispone di poche camere e offre standard di servizio molto vicini a quelli occidentali, cosa non comune in Sri Lanka. Il cibo è delizioso, con un menù che fonde tradizione locale e influenze internazionali. Abbiamo mangiato piatti unici. La colazione, all’aperto con vista sulla valle, è un vero punto di forza. Il proprietario è estremamente attento e disponibile, e offre un tour indimenticabile tra le piantagioni di tè, di cannella e persino un sito di estrazione di gemme. Abbiamo vissuto esperienze autentiche, come il tasting del tè (incluso quello che abbiamo raccolto, essicato e macinato noi) e un bagno in una cascata isolata (eravamo gli unici turisti!) In sintesi, questa struttura è perfetta per chi cerca tranquillità, autenticità e un’esperienza immersiva nella natura, lontano dal turismo di massa. È l’unico hotel nel raggio di chilometri.
