The accommodation is still new, very clean and looks exactly like the photos. It has a nice terrace with sun loungers overlooking the garden, in the dining area you have a view of green palm trees - you completely forget that you are in the busy city of Kandy. It is an oasis of peace. We had a double room, but I also saw a part designated as a hostel, everything new and very nice. Wifi worked great, breakfast was good. The operator can arrange a lot of interesting activities for you, including various hiking tours. He also called Pick Me for us when we left, because we did not have our own app. I recommend

My stay at Diamond Shine Hostel was an absolutely wonderful experience. What I liked most about this property was the exceptional hospitality and boundless cooperation I received from the owners. They made me feel truly welcome, even offering tea and coffee, which was a lovely gesture. A situation arose where I forgot my power bank in a taxi, and they went above and beyond to help me contact the taxi driver and retrieve it. They even took me in their own car to assist with this matter. Mr. Mahesh was incredibly respectful and kind, as were his daughter and wife. Their entire family made me feel right at home, and I received nothing but kindness and wonderful treatment from them. In short: A fantastic place with incredibly hospitable staff and family, always ready to help with respect and kindness, and thoughtful touches like offering tea and coffee. I highly recommend this place!

Wonderful host, tons of social areas. A little far from the city center (20 minute walk) but you get the quiet neighborhood in return.

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 !

Staff were so helpful. Whole hostel has a chilled vibe, a little up out the way but tuk tuks are so cheap and easy to get! Lovely place to stay.
