    Met amazing people and had a great time socializing. The staff here was incredibly helpful and made me feel like part of a family. The food provided, both breakfast and dinner, was excellent and authentic. The hostel had a lovely garden and a cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. The location was convenient, with nearby attractions such as Lovers Leap and Pedro tea estate. , the town was within walking distance, making it easily accessible.

    The kitchen needed better maintenance as the plates and cups were not stored properly, attracting flies. there were occasional water cuts in the area, resulting in limited access to showers, toilets, and the kitchen.

    I had a wonderful weekend stay at a well-located hostel in Sri Lanka! the hostel reminded me of home. The converted colonial bungalow had a cozy and functional atmosphere with lights strung around the roof. The owners created a great vibe with a collection of succulents echoing Nuwara Eliya's greenness. The hostel offered amazing homecooked Sri Lankan food and had light and spacious communal areas. The showers were great, the mattresses were comfortable, and there were power points and reading lamps by each bed. I highly recommend this hostel!

    We felt right at home from the moment we arrived at this cozy and welcoming hostel. the lights strung around the converted colonial bungalow gave it a warm and inviting atmosphere. the owners have done a great job creating a functional space with a great vibe. Highlights included the delicious homecooked Sri Lankan food and the light and spacious communal areas. the hostel also had great amenities like quality showers, comfortable mattresses, and plenty of power points. the friendly presence of Rama the black lab puppy added an extra touch of charm to our stay. Ash, the hostel owner, was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our time here. We met other travelers easily and enjoyed relaxing on the various couches and gathering around the fire. We would definitely choose to stay at Laughing Leopard again in the future.

    The accommodation at this hostel is great! the rooms have comfortable mattresses and the bathrooms are clean with hot water showers. the hostel has a charming house-like atmosphere, with a dining table and living room for socializing. the garden is a wonderful space to relax and play, with friendly dogs and a campfire area.

    Noise can be an issue at night, as some guests engage in late-night drinking and music.

    The Laughing Leopard Hostel was an very nice value for the money. The room wasvery comfy and tidy, and the location was peaceful and tucked away from the main road. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and help us plan our trip. Plus, the hostel had a great communal area, made it easy to meet other travelers.

    When it comes to breakfast offerings, it would have been nice to have a bit more variety.

    The hostel had such a great vibe, laid back and perfect for meeting new people. I loved hanging out in the chill areas and enjoying the cool music. The highlight for me was the adorable little puppy, who was always up for cuddles. The host was super cool and gave me awesome recommendations for things to do in the area. The breakfast and dinner were delicious, especially the dhal. The beds were comfy and the shower was hot. I highly recommend this place!

    We had a blast at the Laughing Leopard! The night activities, like card games and barbecues, were so much fun and a great way to meet new people. The colorful decor and small garden added a lovely touch to the hostel. Plus, the delicious breakfast and the chance to play with the adorable dogs made our stay even better. I highly recommend this place for all the party people out there!
