For two days, I felt at home! The owner isn't your typical businessman who's just out to make a profit, but a sweet and warm person who cares about your experience. He cooks excellent traditional Sri Lankan dishes and can give you all the tips you need on the most unmissable places to visit in the city and the country. I would come back here a thousand and one nights. Thank you for everything!

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.

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

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 !
