There were ants and a cockroach in the bathroom, but it didn’t bother us too much

Lovely people and an amazing view

Exceptional home stay. Alex and Malka are very welcoming hosts who made us feel right at home. The breakfast was delicious too!

Stayed in June 2025

Our stay here was incredible, Alex and Malka went above and beyond - picking us up from the train and accommodating a delay, stopping at the local supermarket, making a beautiful local breakfast, and helping us with much needed laundry. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Amazing! We couldn’t ask for better welcome in Kandy! The place is quiet and homey, Alex and Malka were very welcoming and gave us some very good tips for organising our trip. Breakfast was delicious and the room Super comfortable.

The location was perfect quiet but not too far from the center. The view was really nice. The family is really kind

- Absolutely nothing

If you’re looking for a truly clean accommodation with a beautiful view, this is the perfect place! Malka was incredibly warm and immediately made us feel welcome. She provided us with information, helped us organize a ride to the train station in the morning, and was always available. There is a fridge, the view is beautiful, and there’s a huge supermarket within walking distance. You can reach the town center in just a few minutes. We can highly recommend this accommodation!

A beautiful home. Although a little way out of the centre of town, this place is nestled in a lovely little neighbourhood with breathtaking views from the balcony. I felt very well looked after during my stay, particularly at the delicious breakfast (a selection of sweets and juices, jackfruit curry, fried eggs, and more!). Everything was perfect. It’s just a short walk to the main high street, where you can catch a bus up to Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa.

That it was only one night!

We loved our stay! Very short stop in Kandy but that's what we needed. Great view from balcony, complimentary tea in the room, kettle and most important there is normal closed shower cabin! It's a luxury in Sri Lanka. After a month traveling around it's not something you expect 😃 Very welcoming owners. We had problem with tuk tuk but the lady booked one for us from pickme app

We liked the host, Malka. She was very helpful, very hospitable. Her breakfasts were delightful. The room was very clean, and there was a kettle... always a bonus. But on top of that, there was also a stove for cooking outside of the room. Views of the town and the birds to be seen from the balcony. Lovely. Very convenient for the town, with a bus nearby, or tuctuc.

We had a wonderful stay at Alex Homestay. The hosts' friendliness made us feel at home from the very first moment. Their kindness in helping us organize taxis and tuktuks was incredible and made our stay much more comfortable. Malka, Alex's wife, offered us laundry service at a reasonable cost, saving us valuable time. This personal touch made our experience even more enjoyable. Additionally, Malka is an excellent cook, and the breakfast was really delicious and abundant. We highly recommend Alex Homestay to anyone looking for an easy stary. a warm welcome and excellent service.

Nothing it was perfect 😊

Best place we have stayed in 3 weeks in Sri Lanka 💖 Amazing views spotlessly clean, hot shower , Best breakfast homemade Jackfruit curry made from the garden . Very helpful host high above the hustle of Kandy 💖

The guest house is on a hill and is in a less known area, which is why we had trouble getting there by taxi/tuk-tuk.

KANDY Guest house is located in a quiet area, but not far from the center by bus or tuk-tuk. Spacious room with a nice view from the balcony. Water in the shower with good pressure and hot. Breakfast was very good and varied. The owners are very nice and helpful. They explained to us exactly how to get to all the attractions in the city, recommended a very good restaurant or where to do some shopping. What's more, they put us in touch with their neighbor, who took us by tuk-tuk to all the places we wanted to see around Kandy and at a very attractive price. Highly recommended!

Its a bit away from the city Center, but I actually prefered that so it was more quiet compared to the busy center. But thats up for taste

The hosts are absolutely amazing! I asked Alex to give me a tour in Kandy and he really took the time to listen to my requests and explain everything. Also his wife was so friendly and accomodating in all my needs. I loved having a balcony at the room and the coconut pancakes during breakfast <3

Liked everything. I am sure the wonderful hosts will continue to make required improvements.

1. Amazing hosts - so genuine, kind and caring. Went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. 2. Clean and neat room with all basic & required facilities. [Please note you have to climb stairs to the 2nd floor]. 3. Quiet and scenic location. [Please note the road to the homestay is steep and narrow with no parking space]. 4. Excellent homemade & freshly cooked breakfast with local & international items. 5. Hot shower, AC, balcony with a nice view.

The room was cute and clean with a nice view. The hosts were also super lovely and they provided a delicious breakfast and helpful advice regarding transport. It’s easy to get a bus into town from the home stay.

Everything! From the moment I checked in to the point when I vacated the room. Malka was very attentive to my every need. She made contact with me the day of checking in and gave me her contact number and directions to Alex Homestay. I arrived later than anticipated due to delayed trains and she waited for me to arrive. She assisted me with my plans whilst I was in Kandy and public transport to my next destination. The room was clean and smelt amazing. The room had a balcony which was lovely, and had great views across the city and of the mountains.

The hosts were very kind, and went out of their way to look after us. We will never forget their genuine hospitality, and would love to return one day.
