The first stop in Sri Lanka for me, my wife and our 17 months year old was Green Leaves Garden and we can highly recommend it! This was a really good way to get to know Sri Lankan culture. Anushka, the host, is such a nice and genuine person and he will help you with everything. We got to eat wonderful local food cooked by his family (if you eat vegan/vegetarian it's not a problem, in fact the opposite), go on hiking, visited different tempels, did a jeep safari, went to a herbal garden, a biological garden, a tea factory, even visited a funeral and got to know his wonderful family and friends. If you want to see elephants we really recommend you to see them in their natural habitat on a safari instead of visiting other places such as the orphanage (when we did research, several sources witnessed of the elephants being mistreated). Anushka picked us up from the airport and drove us to our next destination in Weligama after seven days. He even helped us with a missing bag from the airport. On our trips we always had interesting conversations about Sri Lankan history and current affairs and he was a professional guide on the different activities. We lived in a "simple" mud house which was very common back in the days. The room was spacious, had three double beds, a refrigerator, bathroom and air conditioner. We were in Sri Lanka for 30 days and spend seven days here and it was a great decision. If you want to get to know the real Sri Lanka, learn about it's culture and get new friendships, this is a great way to do it!

We stayed in Mawanella at Mystay for just one night, however we wish we could stay longer! A spacious, comfortable room with multiple areas in the room and outside to relax. Friendly, accommodating host family, made us delicious food, and showed us around town.

The most stunning views in Kandy! Don’t let the stairs to the hotel put you off - the staff are incredibly helpful and will carry all your bags up for you. You’ll be rewarded by the most spectacular vista. Kobbekaduwa Bungalow is such a peaceful get away from the busyness of central Kandy and a great place to relax after a day seeing the sights. The food is absolutely delicious with options to have truly traditional Sri Lankan breakfasts, lunches and dinners! The best breakfast we’ve had while in Sri Lanka! The staff are really helpful and kind. 100% recommend.

The house is very clean, very big room with a huge and comfortable bed, big bathroom and all you need (soap, toilet paper, towel, purified water). The location is perfect to go to the elephants orphanage, easy reaching them with the local bus/tuk tuk. The gardens is very beautiful, with lots of plants. The owner offered tea and bananas as a welcoming treat and a garden tour (giving me some fruits too), all for free. The owner is a very respectful, honest and gentile person. The best place I've been in Sri Lanka to be honest. The price is too low for all the benefits the owner is offering. Great accomodation, quiet, cheap and very comfortable. A plus is the hot water and the possibility to have breakfast there (the best garden flower omlette).
