Amazing! The place is really nice and clean. The owner is super helpful and friendly. It’s easy to reach and if you drive your own tuktuk they can help you with driving it up (it’s just a few meters) . He provides drinking water and there is nice warm water in the shower. The view is beautiful and the place is very peaceful. Good to get some rest after a day in the busy city. Would absolutely recommend and book it again!

We stayed at the Arambhaya Boutique Hotel for two nights and had a wonderful stay. The room was very spacious with a lot of attention to detail, the hotel was very clean and modern, quiet with a beautiful garden. The hospitality, friendliness and service of the staff was outstanding and the best we ever experienced in a hotel.

Hemaka and the team at Liselma Residence could not have been more hospitable and helpful. This is truly was one of the most memorable and relaxing places I've ever stayed in. Perched on a hillside with commanding views across Kandy. Floor to ceiling windows filled our enormous room with natural light. Perhaps the largest and most comfortable bed I've slept in. The white walls, wooden floors and spaciousness all contribute to an atmosphere of serenity and tranquility. We felt special here. Thank you so much to Hemaka , Opisala and team. I could not recommend Liselma residence highly enough.

Someone on here described this place as a piece of heaven and that pretty much sums it up (and I'm not a religious man). I ended up extending my reservation for an extra night as I couldn't miss the chance to stay another day. I requested the room furthest down the hill and, yes, there are stairs to get down there (not that many really), but how else would one expect to get down a hill? 🧐 This also meant the cabin felt secluded and the view had an uninterrupted jungle-y vibe. Both mornings I sat on my balcony as a baby monkey scrambled and launched wildly towards birds high in the treetops - its family just lounged unbothered as the sun peered over the smokey mountains - no helicopter parenting in the monkey world! The pool is stunning (rooms up here would have a similarly stunning view). I swam each morning and again in the afternoon upon my return after a day of exploring Kandy. Don't let the distance to central Kandy throw you off - Tuk Tuks are super fun and there's so much on the journey to stimulate the senses (dodging bigass cattle and the like) and you won't be needing to back-and-forth to town regardless. Staff were super kind and accomodating and the curry for dinner and egg hoppers for brekkie were the real deal. How's the rest of my trip going to match this? Would stay again no question.

Very nice house with beautiful little garden. The room is furnished with great taste, the garden is full of flowers. The family is super nice and friendly, they treated my daughter as their own. They also organize cooking classes, which I absolutely recommend: it is taking place in an authentic kitchen with traditional utensilies, and is the owner's mom who teaches you about spices, local vegetables, and how to cook some very tasty Sri Lankan meal. She is great! Breakfast is an amazing selection of local dishes, and it's plenty. Our host was also very nice, ready to help with anything, explaining about culture and what to see in Kandy. He helped with our laundry, organized for us tuktuk to the citiy, and took us to the train station when we were leaving. The whole family was very nice and attentive to our every need. The location is outside of Kandy, a bit far from the center, but because of this it is very quiet, and it's surrounded by nature. I highly recommend it! Even if you don't stay here, try the cooking class!
