Beautiful property that felt like our own little oasis. The room was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The shower was excellent too. Breakfast was served at your requested time and the owner offered to cook us a Sri Lankan breakfast that was really good. The location does require a tuk tuk in and out of Kandy central but you can down load the pick me app to get local rates to keep costs down. Excellent stay and highly recommended.

Great balcony to chill in. Surrounded by trees and the peace and quiet. Staff were pleasant and welcoming. Takes about 20 minutes or so to walk to the center of town/lake. Some shops nearby, about 0.5km away.

I was very happy with my decision to stay here instead of a hotel in the city center. I could enjoy clean air and a peaceful atomosphere. The room was clean and spacious with a great view of trees and sound of birds. The staff were warm and very kind and they were always ready to help and support me. As a female solo traveler, I really appreciated their support. The owner gave me useful information about places to visit and was always happy to answer my questions. The communication was very smooth and he replied very quickly through Whatsapp and I really appreciated it. It was a home-stay like experience and I really enjoyed my stay.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Kandy. The room was spacious and very clean, including the washroom which was well maintained and stocked with shampoo and body wash. The hot shower was excellent—just what I needed after a long day. The owner was incredibly kind and helpful, which made my stay even more pleasant. The garden was a real highlight, full of fruit trees like avocado, mango, and banana. In the morning, I loved watching birds and squirrels visit the trees—it was such a peaceful and beautiful experience. Thank you for the lovely hospitality. I would definitely recommend this place to others!

Dananjaya was so good, nothing was too much trouble, there was water available to top up bottles and the breakfast was massive! It was situated just out of the city centre therefore making it nice and quiet at night. Although everything was within easy reach. Huge room with comfy beds, really clean and tidy.

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.

Definitely the best stay we had in Sri Lanka. An idyllic and beautiful place we’ve only seen in the movies so far. The hosts are super lovely and recommended us things to do and places to eat at that are authentic and charge local prices. Definitely drive with the host’s go-to Tuk Tuk driver Gehan. He is super sweet and careful of your safety in Kandy plus you won’t find any cheaper Tuk Tuk anyway. All in all 10/10.

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.

Very nice house with swimming pool, great location outside the city, very quiet. You have to take tuk tuk or bus to go to the city. The host and the family are very helpful, organized for us ticket for Kandy dance and transportation. Very good breakfast.

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.

Simple guest house, but very new with (for this price) good bathroom. Great location, near the lake, 10 min along the lake to the city center, tooth temple and so on. The owners and staff are super friendly young Sri Lankans, who help you with your travel plans and gave me the best tip on how to get reservation tickets for the crowded train to Ela (without using the black market!).

- clean rooms with moskito net and AC and complimentary water bottle. -warm water in the shower -friendly host - nice view from the balkony -the hotel is on a small hill upon Kandy, so it takes about 15min by foot in the city centre, but therefore the area is less crowded and quiet compared to other locations closer to the city

The location is in a quiet spot just a short tuktuk ride from the city centre which was perfect for us. Great breakfast (Sri Lankan 6 items, fruit, coffee)and when we had to leave early for a train they even provided a packed breakfast which was very much appreciated. Above all, the hosts is what make this place really special. He exceptionally lovely and welcoming. He helped us plan everything during our stay and made us feel very at home. If we ever come back to Kandy, we know where we will stay ☺️. Thank you!
