From the moment we arrived, we were greeted not just as guests, but truly as friends. The warmth and hospitality of Sudesh’s family made this one of the most memorable stays of our trip. The food was absolutely delicious – all home-cooked meals prepared with love by the owner’s family, and every bite felt like a taste of authentic Sri Lankan home life. The guesthouse is located a little outside the busy town of Kandy, which turned out to be a big plus – peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by nature, making it a perfect retreat after a day of sightseeing. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the entire atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. We left with full hearts (and stomachs!), and we would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine and heartwarming stay in Kandy!

We were happy to find and stay at this place. It's a family small hotel with very good location at the hills of Kandy. It's 15 min walk to the city center, but if you are not walk lover you can take a tuk tuk for a dollar or two. Spectacular view from a very big terrace and far away from the city jungle and noise. Very nice room, well furnished and equipped with all you might need for your short stay. Air conditioner, kettle, hair dryer as well. They offer coffee, tea and water as a compliment in the room and we highly appreciate it. The bath is small but very clean. The breakfast - oh my God. Rich and tasty. We couldn't ate all they had prepared for us. We highly recommend this place. Thank you.
