The family were so accommodating and were very helpful to share all the tours, local food, cheaper options for my trip. I’m a female solo traveller and I felt right at home here. The whole family made me feel very safe and Karunarathna waited for me at every stop of our tour. This place is very peaceful with a beautiful view of the mountains. The room is very clean, the bed comfy, the option of AC or Fan in the room. The whole family really go above and beyond for their guests and I’m so grateful for them. They are genuinely good people and want their guests to enjoy Kandy! Thank you guys for having me! ❤️

Jaye was a nice and helpful host. I only stayed in Kandy for a short time but the homestay was great. Nice view overlooking the city but still walking distance to the center. Very clean and quiet. Would recommend!

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 ❤️

The host, just 26 years old, has built this place from a very basic level to a beautiful property with 5 clean and comfortable rooms. The whole place is calm and quiet, perfect for relaxing. Our room and bathroom were spotless. We had a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast the biggest and most delicious breakfast I’ve ever had in my life! The host truly doesn’t care about money, he is genuinely focused on giving the best service to his guests. Highly recommended!

Jay's location was perfect and it had such a beautiful view. The room is equipped with everything you need and Jay is a pleasant and likeable host. Jay arranged a tasty breakfast for us with two options: Sri Lankan or continental. Apart from that, Jay was available on WhatsApp if we had any questions or requests. I definitely recommend this place if you have a personal driver or a tuk tuk, The location is close to the Kandy Sacred Tooth Temple.

    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.
