We Really enjoyed the beautiful Villa with a lot of Green, a Nice Pool and beautiful, spacious very clean rooms. We had a room on the First floor with a wonderful view in the courtyard. There are a lot of plants that ensure privacy on the balcony. It is the Perfect Location to stay in Kandy. The City Center is in walking distance, but you can also take a Tuk Tuk if you prefer This. The couple who Runs the accommodation is very kind and helps you with everything. I forgot something in the room and they helped me a lot to get it back. Thank you for having us!

The property was lovely, the view from our balconey was great, very quiet, a lot of space outside. It was convenient to get to the city center, we were there during festival season and were not bothered due to noises. The room has everything you need, mosquito net, fan etc. we were often even cold. Our hosts were absolutely incredible, very understanding when we overslept for breakfast, we had dinner with them twice because the food was so so amazing. She is an incredible cook and I couldn't recommend having food at the homestay more, truly the best food we had in Sri Lanka so far, the portions for breakfast and dinner were also quite big. Everyone was truly so kind and funny and caring and I cannot recommend this homestay enough we will come again given the chance and I wish the host family the absolute best because they deserve everything in the world. Truly thank you so much ❤️

Perfect Stay in Kandy 10/10! This hotel is run by a wonderful father and son team. The father, a retired chef, brings warmth and hospitality to the place. The room was superb.for the price, it’s honestly unbelievable. Everything was clean and well-maintained: spotless bathroom, good hot shower, new A/C units, and fast Wi-Fi. The “Pick Me” service works perfectly from here too. Overall, this is a perfect place to stay in Kandy

Edwin was an exceptional host! He was incredibly thoughtful, especially with our infant, and ensured milk was arranged in advance as requested. He provided excellent guidance on activities to do in Kandy, making our trip even more enjoyable. The breakfast was delightful, offering us a wonderful introduction to Sri Lankan cuisine. The property itself is charming, with a lovely garden that attracts adorable birds and squirrels, adding a touch of magic to the day. Edwin was highly responsive and quick to address any concerns, ensuring our stay was both comfortable and memorable.

The house is located on the outskirts(10min tuktuk ride - don't pay more than 500 lkr) of Kandy and amazing if you want to get away from the chaotic city. The room was very spacious and comfortable. Everything was very clean. Dr Nimal and his wife were wonderful hosts, providing us with a lot of tips for our journey. They also have a lovely dog! We really enjoyed the stay with them and would recommend it to anyone else.

It's a very very charming boutique hotel. It has an Italian design. The manager speaks good English and knows what hospitality is. He organised everything for us, was genuine interested and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is also good. And it's easy in this hotel to also meet other travellers (with families). The views from the hotel are stunning, it's a little bit out of the city center but therefore also nice and quiet.

The lake view and quiet location are delightful in the morning. The guest house thrives primarily due to its two fantastic hosts, who took excellent care of me. Enjoying a beer and discussing politics with them was a warm and welcoming experience. The recommended dance show is truly worth attending, even though the audience is predominantly white.

Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.
