When we arrived the owner was already drunk . He loves the Arrack . Spend 2 nights there, wouldn’t recommend to staying in laughing Leopard. The second night 4 people want to party so he kept playing loud music until 3 and didn’t care about the other guest .
Breakfast and family dinner where oke 👍

Gut zum socializen und gemütliche Wandertage ausklingen zu lassen.
Die Betten Ausstattung war etwas dürftig, dünne Decke.

I have stayed in many hostels, but Laughing Leopard was the best among all of them. Robert and Ash were very friendly and helpful. The place was clean, and the vibe was good. I will be coming back to Laughing Leopard very soon. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a hostel in Nuwara Eliya.

Nice and friendly owner
the atmosphere in the hostel
dogs frequenting in the kitchen and eating the leftovers from the cooking wares kept for cleaning.
General hygiene due to 3-4 dogs staying in the hostel.

A hostel with nice atmosphere, WARM SHOWERS and free, filtered water! That is cool. The rooms were quite nice.
Anytime I spoke with the hosts, they seemed a bit distanced in interacting with me. Because it is a very social hostel, then there is always a lot going on and not always super clean, but it did not bother me. My bed was badly located in a room with the windows towards the sun, so I woke super early with sun in my eyes (could have used curtains)

Das Hostel ist sehr sozial, man sitzt viel zusammen und trifft tolle Leute. Das Haupthaus scheint eine gute Ausstattung zu haben.
Wir hatten ein Dorm in einem Anbau, die Ausstattung war sehr Basic und das Zimmer war sehr feucht. Das war für zwei Abende okay, aber nicht für eine längere Zeit.

Nice hostel vibes, good place to hang out and meet some people. Also a lot if group activities in the hostel
The dorm and the bath were super mold and not really clean. The room smelled pretty bad, had to sleep with an open window (was cold)

Good hostel. The Host hash is great. Super chill. Great common rooms and outside Terrasse. There will be a bonfire in the evening. The host cooks breakfast and dinner. The prices are good. It’s 5 to 15 minutes away from the train station by tuck tuck.
The sheets looked a bit ragged

I stayed at Laughing Leopard hostel for almost a week, and I must say it was one of the best hostels in the area. The manager and owner of this hostel were incredibly cool and accommodating. We had such a fantastic time during our stay, and it was an absolute pleasure being here. I highly recommend this place as a top choice for accommodations. Thank you for all the help and hospitality, I truly love this place!"

amazing location and vibe

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. First I was not sure because of the mixed reviews but I am glad I stayed here. The vibe is very nice, the stuff is friendly, breakfast and dinner very tasty and there was no party - only very good music but they turn it off around 10 pm so you can sleep well. The dogs are very cute and fun and haven‘t been too loud. Overall I definitely recommend to stay here :-)
The only thing is that it could be a bit more clean. Toiletpaper was only sometimes available and unfortunately no hand wash.

The owners were not there so there were no forced parties. Instead the atmosphere was super chill, very sociable and exactly what i was looking for. Big shout out to the guys taking care for these three nights.
Oh and if youre into hiking, go ask them about the PEKOE TRAIL!
