The hosts are incredible, they meet you with a welcome drink, provide home cooked meals for breakfast lunch and dinner with produce from their garden, currency exchange, laundry, tips and advice, answer any questions and can provide lifts into town. Nothing is too much trouble and they want you to have the best stay. The property is beautiful with amazing views of the hills and the facilities are very clean and private. While you eat in their home with them, the dorm and bathroom is in a separate building that also has privacy. The room has lockers and mosquito nets for each bunk and there is fast WiFi. There is also a fan in the room and drinking water available free of charge.

One of my favorite stays at a hostel. I loved the hospitality. Banda, the staff, has one of the best hospitality I've experienced. They are very accommodating, friendly, and puts a lot of heart into making our stay an enjoyable one. Loved there's breakfast and dinner and it's easy to meet other travelers. Space is really clean and comfortable too. Was able to arrange for Sigiriya and Knuckles Mountain tour here.

Everything. This is a magnificent place to stay. The owner Chathura is an absolute gentleman and is there to help you from your initial booking to checking how you are after your stay. I've never anywhere received this level of kindness, generosity and professionalism. As as solo traveller he recommended an itinerary of places to visit and see. He went above and beyond anything I could ever have imagined and he told me exactly what I should be paying for each trip and to message him if I felt I was being ripped off. Jude the hostel/Guest house manager is the coolest guy. Can't do enough for you. He is a fabulous chef and I enjoyed 5 terrific meals there. My room was the suite and I'd have paid and would have expected to pay 4/5 times the price. So comfortable. Sitting on the terrace each night chatting with Jude and the fellow travellers and listening to the sounds of nature was exceptional. The Bliss is an absolute gem and I implore anyone visiting Kandy to give it a try, you will definitely not be disappointed. A special shout out to Ajay the smiling tuk tuk driver who brought me on my trips each day. 10 stars to this little piece of Heaven

Amazing hosts who were kind, warm, honest and went to great lengths to make my stay in Kandy truly amazing! They work hard to make all of their guests feel at home in the property! ☺️🙏🏿 The property was exceptionally clean, very comfortable and the facilities were perfect. Mosquito nets were provided & were very effective. Wifi was very strong, cooking facilities and the kitchen were provided along with beautiful coffee every morning ☺️ The property was ideally located only a short walk from local cafes & around 8-9 minutes in a Tuk Tuk to the centre ✅ The price was very cheap and reasonable! I would give this property 11/10 if that was possible! I have travelled throughout Asia and this is by far the best hostel for value that I have experienced - it exceeded all expectations 👍🙏🏿✅ I would highly recommend Lazy Bear and i will definitely return! 😀

We just stayed 1 night, but wouldn’t mind going back. The perfect location! We really enjoyed our stay! You get good value for money! It was very clean, the bathroom was all new and the shower was nice. There were two big fans in the rooms, which we thought was perfect. They have a rooftop with a beautiful view over Kandy city, also spacious enough to do a small morning workout. The host was very helpful and sweet! Remember to bring cash for payment at the property

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
