What an amazing place and host! It was certainly the highlight of my week-long trip to Sri Lanka. Getting to see the beautiful area surrounding the plantation was an outstanding experience. The opportunities to see the local environment, splash in the pools of waterfalls, and get a personal tour of the tea factory, were incredible experiences that we will never forget. Sumith is the most warm, welcoming, and gracious host and we wish we could've spent more time with him, exploring this community and these surroundings. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/21CAFC4B84DA7C71D05485AC0BB241C81FDEE7391717564619273.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CC385048D7CA1F30D915D06E03C4E015297A333C1717564679647.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/412DABC2B03F91ED60A655E726CBB23B7CF65D8A1717564679080.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EB03E373625D7B19235AE978EE3890718D88917C1717564679429.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bradley Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris May 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Backyard Balangoda provides a great Sri Lankan experience, complete with a very friendly dog named Bruno! The incredibly kind owner made sure we had a wonderful stay, sharing interesting information about local life and tasty food. Breakfast, made with local ingredients, was wonderful, especially the tea from his garden and his own roasted coffee. Be sure to try the special Cinnamon Infused Ice Tea – it’s also lovely with some lemon gin in the evening! The scenery is amazing, and the waterfall tour is excellent. If you want a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature, this is the perfect place. It's a great way to enjoy the beauty of Sri Lanka. Highly recommended! ##### Chris Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [98 Acres Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Hotels-98-Acres-Resort-Spa.h15504051.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandals Grande St. Lucian - ALL INCLUSIVE Couples Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Gros-Islet-Hotels-Sandals-Grande-St-Lucian-ALL-INCLUSIVE-Couples-Only.h889966.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels.d6141041.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sybaris Pool Suites Indianapolis](https://www.expedia.ca/Indianapolis-Hotels-Sybaris-Pool-Suites-Indianapolis.h7994039.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Waves Founty Beach -All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Agadir-Hotels-Iberostar-Founty-Beach.h2336111.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h19413442.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Nashville](https://www.expedia.ca/Nashville-Hotels.d178291.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Shangri-La Hambantota](https://www.expedia.ca/Hambantota-Hotels-Shangri-La-Hambantota.h15083331.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunrovin Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bemidji-Hotels-Dunrovin-Resort.h12626565.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marmara Taksim](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Marmara-Taksim.h26048.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Seattle Downtown Pioneer Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Seattle-Downtown-Pioneer-Square.h20123320.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Emporia](https://www.expedia.ca/Emporia-Hotels.d6056955.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d42-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Weligama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Resort.h1487820.Hotel-Information) > > [FOX JAFFNA by Fox Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaffna-Hotels-FOX-JAFFNA-By-Fox-Resorts.h17399149.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kalispell](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalispell-Hotels.d6056415.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Ahungalla-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Sri-Lanka-All-Inclusive.h14754284.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to San Jose (SJC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/sjc/vancouver-to-san-jose) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Myrtle Beach (MYR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/myr/edmonton-to-myrtle-beach) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Latham (ALB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/alb/detroit-to-albany) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Sarasota](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Sarasota-Bradenton-Intl.d6032075.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Helsinki](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Helsinki.d178261.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Cruise > [Cruises to Caribbean](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-to-Caribbean.d6022969.Travel-Guide-Cruise) ### Activities > [Things to do in Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Orlando.d178294.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Costa Rica Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Costa-Rica.d42.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Banff Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff.d10550.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Cancun Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun.d179995.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Pittsburgh Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh.d601717.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Byron Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay.dx6138873) > > [Visit Dover](https://www.expedia.ca/Dover.dx4625)
