Wow, I wouldnt know why someone would say that this place is less thatn fantastic. You are in a valley, surrounded by misty mountains and afantastic view. True, the weather when we were there was not good but curling up inside with a hot chocolate solves that. The place was clean and neat and full of old world charm. For... More

We stayed at this quiet, family-run holiday bungalow - located in Hakgala, which is about a 15 minute drive from the Nuwara Eliya town - for 2 nights in Feb 2011. In order to confirm our reservation, we were cordially requested to make full payment to their bank account. We were able to check in as late as 11pm and... More

I had booked a room at Humbugs on the strength of some of the Trip Advisor reviews and pictures and arrived in the pouring rain along the terrible road (its being upgraded) from Nuwara Eliya. We were not impressed. The interior of the bungalow was dark and damp and the room even worse. The bedsheets seemed mouldy, the bathroom extremely... More

I was in Sri Lanka in Dec 09 and visited this bungalow in Nuwara Eliya Hakgala. Humbugs is a homely, cosy place with a beautiful view. The food was fantastic and what made it worth going was the staff, who were very obliging!I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

We staid at this hotel for several nights and we therefore can say that we got a realistic image of it. After having booked a double room, we arrived in the evening. Only after being brought to the rooms (quite a long way from the restaurant), we were told that we cannot stay in a double room because we arrived... More
