Villa Olde Ceylon is situated in a semi-urban area with the most beautiful natural surroundings.In this beautiful place I got three alternative rooms to make my choice and enjoy my independence.Although it is located in a semi-urban area I was able to witness a green and a calm surrounding. And the owner of this will is a very friendly person who can handle English, French and Italian languages.The delicious food that were prepared by them were typical Sri lankan and they had a unique recipe for that.It was a fine day.

I can't say enough kind things about this place. It's in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, surrounded by trees, flowers, and greenery, perfect for rest and relaxation. Town is a short tuktuk ride away -- or, a fairly easy downhill walk. The house is spacious and clean. I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Suraj the host, and the lovely cook Vishakha. They are both such gems: friendly, welcoming, bright, communicative, and just an absolute pleasure to be around. The food is excellent. Lovely all around!

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!

I can't recommend this place highly enough. Wish I could have stayed longer. Location is ideal, being within walking distance of the city centre and many other Kandy landmarks. The hosts, Viper, his wife Lalanee (fantastic cook) and their assistant Jagarth are very friendly and helpful. Viper is a 'walking encyclopaedia' on all things 'Kandy' and a proud Sri Lankan, being a former air force captain as well as a champion rugby player (national level) in his youth. Very interesting chap! I stayed in the 'superior single room' which had a private bathroom and access to a very well appointed kitchen which (like the entire property) was kept spotlessly clean. The view of the surrounding mountains (including the famous 'Knuckles') is stunning from the main deck. The beautifully maintained garden is full of flowering plants and is a haven for many colourful birds and other interesting wildlife (including a large porcupine, that I was lucky enough to see). I will certainly stay at 'Tenthola', the next time I visit the beautiful city of Kandy.

we had the best stay at mount haven. The family was so kind and helpful. It was really special to have a room literally in the house of this family. The room had an amazing view, everything was clean, and the room has a lot of space. Also, we enjoyed the most special New Years Eve with the owner and his friends, at the neighbors house. The owner invited us to join them, drinking, eating and celebrating New Years. it was really special to experience this. Thanks alot again for inviting us. It was so nice to join the owner and his friends. highly recommended and would love to come back.

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.
