After being at this place for 1 night , I just feel oh god can I stay here for a few more days . This place has a vibe . I wish if I could give a 10 star rating for the host too . Been on a backpacking trip in Srilanka for a week till now . As far as I have seen this is the best value for money dorm I have been in . Hopefully I'll come back here soon

My stay at Diamond Shine Hostel was an absolutely wonderful experience. What I liked most about this property was the exceptional hospitality and boundless cooperation I received from the owners. They made me feel truly welcome, even offering tea and coffee, which was a lovely gesture. A situation arose where I forgot my power bank in a taxi, and they went above and beyond to help me contact the taxi driver and retrieve it. They even took me in their own car to assist with this matter. Mr. Mahesh was incredibly respectful and kind, as were his daughter and wife. Their entire family made me feel right at home, and I received nothing but kindness and wonderful treatment from them. In short: A fantastic place with incredibly hospitable staff and family, always ready to help with respect and kindness, and thoughtful touches like offering tea and coffee. I highly recommend this place!

The host welcomed me and gave me several tips regarding my visit to the tourist sites. He also directed me to sites that were not on my itinerary. The breakfast was excellent, the staff was wonderful, the bed was comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean. Thank you, and I will be back.

I stayed only one night and it was good. Comfortable beds and very cheap (so also don't expect anything luxurious)

The value you get in this property is the best so far I've had for a hostel/dorm. It came with free breakfast and dinner! It had hot water, AC and free towels. Although the facility itself is not "vibey", it is clean and comfortable located in a safe and pretty accessible from the main area/city center. You also do get to meet other people as dinner and breakfast are served along with other guests.

The host was very welcoming and provided us with lots of great suggestions on where to eat in the Kandy area. The room and bathroom facilities were exceptionally clean and overall the hostel is positioned in a great location, only a 10 min walk from the station and 15 mins walk from Kandy Lake

It's a very nice place to stay, quiet and peaceful. Located on a green hill with a great view of the valley. The breakfast was amazing, one of the best hostel's breakfasts so far. I do recommend this place.

Budget/ basic small hostel but amazing value. The owner is really nice and helpful. Spacious dorm room, lockers, plus towel provided which is a nice touch. Amazing location, central and close to lake and temple, a supermarket, lots of places to eat and there’s a rooftop pub above the hotel next door. I wish this little place good luck in the future!

The hostel is in very beautiful building on the hill. Nice view not far from main attractions and pleasant lake. Dormitory's a little too small with a noisy fan. Bathroom clean but without hot water. Bed confortable. No small light on each bed. A large clean room where eventually consume meals, but without the possibility to use own kettle.

The BEST hostel I have ever stayed in. Absolutely beautiful property with everything you could need and more. Jude is a star and so is Ajantha the tuktuk driver - makes the distance from the city centre no issue at all. Great food, great price, great place. Will be coming back !
