Not worth the price
Amazing views from rooms and restaurant, but definitely not worth the price. We expected a top quality hotel for the price but the rooms felt like a basement storage area. Bathroom and bedroom ceiling were moldy and there were leaks in the corridors. Our room was just opposite the main laundrette. No internet in the rooms or restaurant. Very slow check in. Nice staff at the restaurant.

Horrible service & worst hotel ever
Worst hotel I have ever experienced ever! The rooms had a wonderful view & that’s about it. Uncomfortable beds, cement bath tub & shower. Cold flooring. No Aircon. Lousy maintenance of the room & overall property. Horrible service. Food from room service was cold & burger bun hard as a rock. Breakfast spread is horrible. Food served cold. “Butter” for bread is margarine which tastes horrible. Maintenance slow. Called reception 3 times & 4th time I had to personally go to the reception for someone to fix our TV. Finally after 3 hours someone came to get it fixed. When checking out I asked to speak to the manager, the response I got was that he was eating breakfast! I Would never recommend this hotel to anyone!! If you are impressed by the view, there is a viewing point where it’s open to public.

Beautiful views, great design, small imperfections
The hotel on first impressions takes your breath away with outstanding views of the hill country, with close proximity to a tea factory/ plantation and the Ramboda waterfalls which are well worth a trip. But nothing else is in the area. The rooms are nice, but dirty with holes in the bed linen and a colony of ants which precided in the room. Overall nice stay, but you will get bored after one night and the hotel need to tighten up their quality aspects.

Breathtaking Panoramic Views of Ramboda Falls
The location of this resort is perfect as you get breathtaking panoramic views of Ramboda falls, the valley and the river/lake. We stayed here for just one night and left early morning before dawn, we could not make the best of this view, but whatever time we spent here, we enjoyed our stay. Its on the way to Nuwara Eliya from Kandy, very close to the waterfalls as well as Hanuman Temple at Ramboda. We had Sri Lankan Rice and Curry which was decent, the service was good. Its a bit isolated though and there were not many tourists around when we stayed there, likely because it was a off season, and most folks prefer to live in Nuwara Eliya.

Amazing location, very bad hotel - never again.
Hotel concept stylish (large windows, fair faced beton, minimalistic) amazing views. However execution a disaster. Rooms and whole hotel dirty, food very expensive but very low quality and variety. at 22:00 the lobby was closed and lights shut down, but it was the only place with wifi. No bar, no international Sat TV etc. Nothing around to do / entertain. No ways to explore the nice nature. Long story short, we booked 3 nights and left after 1 even though we had to pay for 3. We left back to Kandy. Never ever again! @hotels.com: take them off your catalogue, they are bad and anyhow no good review yet.

Amazing View While in Bed
The location of this hotel gives it an amazing panoramic view as its walls are mainly glass. It's not outdated but not well taken care of and not very clean. It does not have an air conditioner. Check in time is slow. I definitely recommend it.

코트 말레 최악의 호텔 - 사진보고 속지마세요.
최악의 호텔이었음. 경치는 좋아지만 지나가면서 봐도 됨. 호텔이 오래되었으며 청소 상태 불량하고 벌레가 있었으며. 시끄러워 방을 바꾸어 달라고 했음. 경치가 좋아도 벌코니 바로밑에 오수정화조가 있어 냄새 때문에 열수가 없으며 방안에서도 냠새가 났음.

Schöne Umgebung, schlechte Umsetzung
Das einzig positive am Hotel ist die Lage, mit toller Aussicht auf die Berge und in direkter Nähe verschiedener Teeplantagen. Ein kurzer Stop an der direkt daneben gelegenen Aussichtsplattform reicht dazu jedoch völlig aus. Teilweise wird es hier jedoch ziemlich voll, da dies ein beliebter Stopp für Reisebusse voller Touristen zu sein scheint. Über das Hotel an sich gibt es nicht wirklich etwas positives über zu sagen. Wir waren eine Nacht dort. Das hat vollkommen gereicht. Es gibt einige Baummängel (Wasser im Flur) und Sauberkeit wird auch nicht gerade groß geschrieben. Beispielsweise war an einem unserer Gläser des Begrüßungsgetränks noch Lippenstift einer anderen Person und auch das angeblich frisch desinfizierte WC (schön versiegelt) war voller Spritzer und Haare :-((( Das Essen war ok, obwohl wir nach unseren ersten Erfahrungen in Sachen Sauberkeit hier etwas vorsichtig waren. Insgesamt würden wir das Hotel nicht weiterempfehlen.

Superbe vue, grand hôtel
Superbe endroit avec vue sur la vallée. Grand hotel, beaucoup de chambres mais la vue en vaut le coup! À 45min en TukTuk de Nuwara Eliya, le Tea Bush est idéalement placé pour vous ressourcer quelques jours dans la vallée du the.
