This was by far our best accommodation in Sri Lanka. The room was beautiful, clean, and bright, with brand-new facilities. From our room, we could enjoy both sunrise and sunset, and the rooftop offered an even more stunning view. The highlight was the owner and his incredible hospitality. He went out of his way to ensure we had a memorable stay. We had both breakfast and dinner here, and dinner was truly a special experience. He shared his unique way of preparing fried rice and gave us deeper insight into Sri Lankan culture and cuisine. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to stay here!

This guesthouse is an absolute gem. My room was very clean, beautifully decorated, and had a lovely private outdoor seating area. Breakfasts were a feast! Delicious Sri Lankan dishes kept appearing on the table, and any other time of the day the family kept offering me some tea. One of the highlights of my stay was the cooking class with Sudesh’s mom. I heard great things about in the reviews and I'm so glad I decided to do it as well. It was a great experience and everything we cooked was absolutely delicious! The location, while a little off the beaten track, offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. While getting an Uber or PickMe can sometimes be a bit tricky due to its more remote location, the family arranged transportation for me whenever needed. What truly sets this guesthouse apart is the incredible family who runs it. They were all simply amazing, going above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. I honestly can't recommend this guesthouse enough. It's the perfect place to experience true Sri Lankan hospitality, enjoy delicious food, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Kandy region.

Soooo good that we ordered her evening meal too and didn't regret it ! Highly recommend this homestay . Thank you, Kumari and Shantha !

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.

Marvel Hills exceeded our expectations. What a truly lovely homestay. The owner went out of his way to help us out with luggage storage and extra night there. Location was fabulous as the local bus stop is very close and cheap to use and frequent. We had a room with balcony overlooking Kandy hills. The room was very spacious with kitchenette on balcony and fridge/freezer. The grounds and garden were immaculate. We will be recommending this gem to family and friends and will definitely be back one day soon. 10/10

Extremely comfortable and good value in a great location. This is an amazing old house in a great part of town near the lake. The host has lived here for many decades, and it really feels like an intimate homestay in spite of the several rooms. The room was large and lovely, with a beautiful view over the hillside. It is not luxurious, but really comfortable and full of character, and the included breakfast was very good as well.

Nestled in the picturesque hills of Kandy, this tranquil homestay is a must-visit destination. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by two exceptional hosts who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The authentic, plentiful meals they prepared were a true delight. The accommodation itself was elegantly appointed and immaculately clean. Situated on top of a small hill on the edge of the woods, the house lies approximately 2.5 kilometers from the center of Kandy.

The host family was so nice, hospitable and helpful in making sure that we enjoy our stay in Kandy, Mr. Leslie proactively offered tuktuk from railway station for advantageous price and provided a lot of other really valuable advice. Breakfast as well as dinner were rich and tasty. There is a kitchen available for making tea or coffee, as well as drinking water. A lot of common room (dining room, terraces) where one can meet other travellers.
