The host was just amazing, he was so helpful to find out what to do around Kandy, really very patient, even helped to give directions to the tuktuk. He made the experience very worthwhile. The place was also really clean and nice and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend staying here.

After being at this place for 1 night , I just feel oh god can I stay here for a few more days . This place has a vibe . I wish if I could give a 10 star rating for the host too . Been on a backpacking trip in Srilanka for a week till now . As far as I have seen this is the best value for money dorm I have been in . Hopefully I'll come back here soon

Super friendly staff; they very helpful and kind! Several games in the lounge area - it was nice to relax and play while waiting for breakfast or before going to bed. The rooms are great - comfy beds, AC and ceiling fan, very clean and the bathroom was clean. Nothing bad to say about the place - and I’m looking for another one just as good (for such a great price) as I travel Sri Lanka - I’ve yet to find it!

I stayed at this hostel run by Sameera, who is truly a generous and caring person. I was there during a cyclone, and they really took care of me. Besides that, the hostel is extremely clean and well-organized. There’s also a rooftop where you can spend some relaxing time. I highly recommend it if you’re passing through Kandy! Position is great as well

I stayed only one night and it was good. Comfortable beds and very cheap (so also don't expect anything luxurious)

The value you get in this property is the best so far I've had for a hostel/dorm. It came with free breakfast and dinner! It had hot water, AC and free towels. Although the facility itself is not "vibey", it is clean and comfortable located in a safe and pretty accessible from the main area/city center. You also do get to meet other people as dinner and breakfast are served along with other guests.

The host was very welcoming and provided us with lots of great suggestions on where to eat in the Kandy area. The room and bathroom facilities were exceptionally clean and overall the hostel is positioned in a great location, only a 10 min walk from the station and 15 mins walk from Kandy Lake

It's a very nice place to stay, quiet and peaceful. Located on a green hill with a great view of the valley. The breakfast was amazing, one of the best hostel's breakfasts so far. I do recommend this place.

Budget/ basic small hostel but amazing value. The owner is really nice and helpful. Spacious dorm room, lockers, plus towel provided which is a nice touch. Amazing location, central and close to lake and temple, a supermarket, lots of places to eat and there’s a rooftop pub above the hotel next door. I wish this little place good luck in the future!

The hostel is in very beautiful building on the hill. Nice view not far from main attractions and pleasant lake. Dormitory's a little too small with a noisy fan. Bathroom clean but without hot water. Bed confortable. No small light on each bed. A large clean room where eventually consume meals, but without the possibility to use own kettle.

The BEST hostel I have ever stayed in. Absolutely beautiful property with everything you could need and more. Jude is a star and so is Ajantha the tuktuk driver - makes the distance from the city centre no issue at all. Great food, great price, great place. Will be coming back !
