We had an amazing stay at Kandy Tree Tops. The owner UPUL is super nice , he has a great family , his oldest daughter is PHD of Harvard University . Hhis young daughter is won a lot swimming races , he showed us round his cozy home and shared with us some nice photos and stories of his family . All beyond our expectations, food was fresh and tasty and we enjoyed eating our breakfast on the balcony with a beautiful view. It’s well located - easily commutable to the main attractions, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city to have a peaceful nights sleep. It is one of our most favourite places we have stayed at during our trip to Sri Lanka. Would highly recommend.

We were welcomed with a very delicious welcome drink (best juice I had so far one the whole trip!). The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The family were very friendly and helpful. Over the delicious breakfast we always had a chance to engage in a great conversation with the host and get some tips / recommendation. The host was also quick to reply to messages. The breakfast itself as said was delicious and best about it there was variation not always the same! We were also given the option to book dinner. The garden was lovely too sit in, to just have a moment to relax. The guest house is a bit out of town, however, when you book a Tuk Tuk via one of the apps it was only 350 Rupees to town (as of Jan 25) so really nothing to comment about ;)

My stay at Serenity Hill Oasis was absolutely wonderful! From the very first moment, I was captivated by the stunning view from my room—enjoying my morning coffee on the balcony with such a breathtaking landscape was pure bliss. The breakfast was delicious, fresh, and varied, making every morning a delight.

Highly recommended!

Our stay at Jaye's homestay was great. We had a beautiful view of the city. The room was very clean and well equipped. The owner speaks very good English and always told us lots of interesting information about Sri Lanka and gave us lots of good tips on what to look out for and what is worth seeing in Sri Lanka. The accommodation has a great location, it's a short walk from the city centre but at the same time it's very peaceful and quiet so you can watch the city in the evening and enjoy the atmosphere. We definitely recommend everyone to visit this place.

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!
