It is a bit far out of the city center, and getting a taxi or tuk tuk back there in the evening can be a bit of a challenge; good to organize that in advance!

Beautiful house, comfortable rooms with great views and very kind hosts, great food.

A beautiful colonial-style house with a unique bohemian atmosphere, filled with an impressive collection of antiques from different eras. The place is very comfortable and full of character. The hosts are exceptionally welcoming, warm, and flexible, especially with breakfast and dinner times. The meals of traditional sri lankan food were outstanding – truly better than at a restaurant. Our room was spacious, very comfortable, and had a stunning view over the forest.

Villa is a 20 minute tuktuk ride from the city - and the drivers often couldn't find it - so we had to use our own navigation app and show them.

Beautiful villa in the hills surrounding Kandy.

Baby facilities (bed, chair) would have been nice

Very friendly, nice host!

Small convenienves in the room - for example electrical outlets near the bed to charge our phones, but this is really minor. Our stay was amazing and we wholeheartedly recommend this exquisite place.

This was the best stay of our entire Sri Lanka trip. Amazing mansion, huge terrace (shared) with a view towards the garden, the pool and the jungle. The bed was comfortable, the room and bathroom were clean. The breakfast was delicios - fresh juice, fruits, local options. We opted for dinner one night and it was amazing (although a bit too spicy for my taste). Authentic home made local food, prepared by the wonderful hostess and by served at the dining room by the kind and accommodating host. The garden is amazing! Green, inviting, relaxing. The fact that we've had the pool to ourselves the day we arrived was a very welcomed added bonus. I did my yoga on the terrace both mornings and it was heaven. I can't recommend this place enough. It's a bit far from Kandy city center (25-30 minutes by car), but this is also one it it's best features, because it's green and quiet.

The pool could use a clean :)

Everything. Anusha is the most incredible host - kind, attentive and a genuinely friendly person. He and his lovely wife go out of their way to make every guest's stay perfect. The room was wonderful - with a door to the fabulous balcony where you can relax and watch the birds. The bed was big and comfy, and the room was very quiet - perfect! The dinners were declicious, and Anusha and his wife showed the kids how to make egg hoppers and string hoppers - such fun :) The pool was great for the kids, and the area is lovely and peaceful, with a gorgeous outlook, yet very close to the madness of Kandy city centre.

Nothing..

We had the best time with Anusha and his wife. The house is beautiful, the rooms ard so clean and sapcious. Kandy is a busy city and the villa is a quiet retreat. We ate both nights at the villa and honestly that was thr most authentic and tasth meals we had in Sri Lanka. I wish the hosts the very best in life as they are wonderful people...

The hosts were superkind! Very helpful and ready with many suggestions. The room was amazing and the views from the terrace ditto. The location is great for those who want to stay in a quiet place away from the bustle of Kandy. That also means there aren't shops or cafes nearby. Still, it's also close to the Botanical garden and roads south to the tea plantations. In all, a very nice place!

The hosts were very friendly, helpful, and super nice! They gave us good recommendations and we also took a cooking class with them and had a lovely time. The villa is beautiful with a really nice sun deck. The location is a bit far out from Kandy which is really nice to get some peace and enjoy relaxed time! I highly recommend!

A sign to the property would've been helpful as tuks/taxis struggled to find the property.

Large airy rooms, beautifully decorated, great location/view, nice pool, fantastic terrace, lovely food and kind hosts. We'd been sightseeing for 6 days and we're pretty tired so this was a perfect place to relax and cool off. Perfectly located for a walk down to the amazing Botanical Gardens, get a tuk back!

It's not easy to summarize our satisfaction in a few words. This place is magic !!! The house is beautiful and very smartly decorated. The garden is a piece of paradize with a refreshing pool. The place is surrounded by nature. The view is fantastic. The rooms are modern, well furnished and huge. Our bed was comfortable and pretty large. The shower is a masterpiece. The access to the owner's fridge is very convenient. Easy walking distance (15-20 minutes) to the Botanic Garden. Food is home made by the owner's and of such a great quality. Breakfast was diversified, excellent and so tasty! Dinner was simply incredible! Home cooked, so many flavours and multiple dishes. The owners are kind and helpful. This place is warmly and honestly recommended. It deserves 5 stars and builds a wonderful escape from busy Kandy. We feel lucky and a bit sad to leave. Thanks for all!!!

The place was great, we felt like we were in the heart of a rain forest/jungle.

The host was amazing, made us a sandwich on aria al, nothing was too much trouble.

One of the best stays we have experienced in Sri Lanka wish we had stayed longer. The family was so friendly and welcoming, they have a beautiful home and accommodation for guests. Its very peaceful right next to the river , (away from the busy centre) with views over the river from your room and from the dining area. The owner was super helpful, he took me to his private doctor to help me get antibiotics for a chest infection on a Sunday night! The food is freshly prepared in front of you for breakfast which we thought was such a great addition to be able to observe. They have great taste in vintage cars too!!!

Everything about my stay was absolutly amazing, the breakfast that was served was superb. The hosts went above and beyond during my stay to assist with my needs to explore the area. I will definitly be returning with my wife in the near future thankyou very much.

The friendliest hosts we have had so far in Sri Lanka. The breakfast was excellent and all our wishes were fulfilled. Very good!

Amazing staff and breakfast

Stayed in March 2024

The toiletries provided were a bit lacking. It needs more foot mats. It doesn't have ingredients for making instant coffee/tea and doesn't have sufficient cutlery.

A calm property with a view of Mahaweli Ganga. We did stargazing and enjoyed the evening playing songs from our favorite albums. The hoppers and curry that the host prepared for breakfast is hands down one of the best.

Perfect location on the lake away from hectic kandy city center (only 10 minutes by tuk tuk which the host arranged for us at a very good price) we saw many exotic birds and monkeys. The room is very clean and has all necessities. We did the cooking class on site which was exceptional. The food was AMAIZING. Breakfast (more like brunch- there was quote a lot of food) consisted of traditional food that was prepared in front of you.

We were very pleased with stay at Chaminrich Homestay. Our host Anusha and his wife were lovely people, especially friendly and always helpful. The breakfasts were good and plentiful, cooked and eaten on the high terrace, which has a great view of the river and forest. It’s a quiet spot away from the centre of Kandy so you will need some kind of transport. Host was very good at organising a tuk tuk for us.
