The place was very tidy and well-maintained, giving it a pleasant and welcoming feeling. The staff were very friendly and helpful, was always ready to assist with anything we needed. The facilities were also impressive —everything was in good working order and made our stay comfortable and relaxing. Overall, it was great experience and nothing complain.

I enjoyed a lot my staying. It was a long period and I was feeling like at home. Both Moon and Chanaka were helping me with everything I needed, they even went with me shopping în the town, made lunch for me or ordered food if I prefered eating at home. And all that just becaise they wanted me to feel at home. And I did 😍 The place îs much more than you can see în the photos, you have your own jumgle and lots of plants în your balconies which give you intimacy. Wish them luck în everytihng matter to them!!!

You can agree with the owners about a convenient breakfast time. You can choose from tea or coffee, black or with milk. The location is away from the city, but in a quiet and cozy place, without the bustle of the city. You can walk to the city center in 45-50 minutes. The hosts are very hospitable and kind people.

This place really is a heaven - it is spotlessly clean, has huge rooms that are beautifully decorated, and the family are so warm and friendly. Sheran is the perfect host, he can provide advice on where to go, what to see, prices to expect, good restaurants, etc. I really enjoyed chatting to Sheran and his family. The location away from the city centre is great and tuk-tuks are really cheap to get in/out of town (one of my Pick Me journeys was as low as 180rps). I wish I had been able to stay longer here!

The host Jaye is very friendly and helpful. I arrived early at 10am and my room was already ready. I had my shuttle service cancelled at the last minute and he arranged a transfer for me at a fair price. The room has everything you need as a solo travelers (including the AC). The location is convenient. Despite the proximity to the city center, you still enjoyed the tranquility at night with a great city view of Kandy.

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.
