First of all, location. Stunning nature view in each place of the hotel territory. You can enjoy it from room, from swimming pool, walking around tea plantation or on the way to waterfall.😍 One of the best food I tried in Sri Lanka - here. Especially, breakfast is big and delicious 🤤 Extremely good staff, who helps you with everything. The service is on a good high level quality. One of the guy from team was really gorgeous on telling interesting stories about Sri Lanka, some plants and animals, as well as was kind to be our guide to the waterfall, which made our stay much more interesting

We had the best nights sleep and best shower since our arrival in Sri Lanka here, the room is spacious, beautifully designed, big windows & terrace with great views, comfy bed and bathroom with very nice hot shower. The location is a bit outside which helps to get a good nights sleep away from the noise but still super close by tuk tuk (we payed around 300 LKR to the old city center). Selyna was a great host and served us delicious breakfast in the morning on the terrace! We felt very warmly welcomed and would recommend to definitely stay longer than just one night!! Also a great addition is the dog Ollie who is super cute and playful :)

The hotel was excellent. Large rooms, comfortable bed, furnished in boho style. Breakfast was strong, butter, marmalade, toast, fruit and dessert, juice or coffee. We felt comfortable there and would always go back there. The pool is small, but enough for swimming after a busy day. The staff and manager are wonderful, friendly and very helpful. Unfortunately, we only stayed 2 nights. Thank you Veraima!

Of all the locations in Kandy, this hotel is fantastic. A tiny walk from the entrance to the Temple of the Tooth makes it ideal for a tourist stay. Very affordable. Rooms are small. Kind Sri Lankan service as was experienced throughout the whole country.

I wanted to let you know that a very tasteful entrance which led down to the room we had booked. I would like to add this was the last room they had which was a budget room with twin beds. The room was spotless, breakfast was amazing and the staff were very attentive. Wonderful gardens in a quiet location
