    Only parking for one car. Getting there and turning on the property was quite a adventure. I had a Toyota Prius. Very narrow road to the property. Would be nice to have a pool on the property.

    The view, the beautiful room, the fantastic helpful and friendly staff. The excellent food. Definitely worth to take the adventures road to the house. Looks exactly like on the pictures.

    Fabulous location with an unbelievable view and so comfortable with excellent staff. The food was lovely. The charm of the place is that it is in the middle of nowhere. You can really relax and just listen to nature around you.

    Fantastic place at 20minutes distance from Haputale, in the middle of nowhere, with great dinner and a natural pool at 10mns by foot. The wood used for the rooms is beautiful.

    The access road is very narrow but good quality. You have really to believe your GPS system that you will find the cottage at the end of the road.

    Beautiful stay at Benjamin Cottage, isolated in the Jungle. Very beautiful rooms with nice wood pavement and awesome view. It is like an African lodge but located in Sri Lanka. The food was also top quality

    The only thing that could have been better was the timing of the food, which was sometimes a bit later than promised. Hardly a major issue though, especially if you're not in a hurry.

    The host was great. Very friendly and attended to all our needs. The view of the place is spectacular and for that alone worth a visit. The place itself was very good quality for the money. Nothing too fancy, straightforward and clean, and nice bathrooms. Food was good!

    This property is very remote and is about a 30 minute drive from haputale so be prepared by taking anything you may need for your stay. Could do with some more facilities such as air con, fridge. No phone signal here and wifi was intermittent. Our shower was cold and we had no hot water. Also only accept cash so ensure you have enough as it’s a long was to the closest ATM but this wasn’t a problem for us.

    Spectacular balcony and view!! Rooms were nice and staff were helpful and friendly.

    WiFi is bad. It is impossible to make a call sometimes. The bathroom was very small and had a bad smell. TV wasn't working. Ants were everywhere and they even got into our bags. Some lights were not working too. There is also no proper parking space.

    The view is great.
