    I didn’t rate the yoga class too highly, but I have done a yoga in lots of places and probably have high standards.

    A very kind host and a nice room embedded in nature. The breakfast was lovely, option for European or Sri Lankan - both so good. Such a lovely stay for the price.

    The location is very buetiful with forest surrounded. And it's near by kandy town Even though kandy is busy with festival this place is calm and quiet with nature. Morning yoga at the top is different experience with physolopy understanding of yoga. We also got home made local traditional rice and carries totally a different combination 😋 with seasonal fruits.

    The ants in the bathroom… a bit humid too

    The manager was very attentive and helpful. He helped us with his tuk tuk to the train station. He prepared a lovely breakfast for us. We loved the yoga classes with a very experienced teacher. The setting was exceptional in the forest, quiet and peaceful

    Nothing

    The eco retreat is located almost in a forest surrounded area, though just 10 minutes drive to the city unbelievable atmosphere. Host Sunil was exceptional hospitality and serving the guests with lots of fruits and varieties. Yoga at top roof with tree surrounded, humming birds at morning is a totally a different experience. Unlike in western Yoga conducted by Radesh is totally traditional with mixture of yoga philosophy is a new experience to us. I highly recommend this property.

    It's more of a basic accomodation in the forest... walls are not too thick so you can hear people talking and the animals at night.

    Excellent dinner in the forest kitchen, and beautiful Yoga classes with a local knowledgeable teacher (who also teaches Yoga for Ayurveda Medical Students). He teaches traditional Yoga - no fancy Western variations, which I really papreciated. The host is very welcoming. The location, in the middle of the forest is absolutely superb!

    A little bit dusty but understandable according to condiotions and location of place :)

    Very nice place located in the jungle, you need to take tuk tuk to Kandy town but totally worth it. Very calm, peaceful area surrounded by bush, trees, wild animals and birds singing. Beds were comfy and clean. Place offers joga classes, massage and dinner here with extra pay. I totally recommend this place when staying in Kandy!

    A very tranquil place on the outskirts of the hustle and bustle of Kandy city with the bonus of yoga classes surrounded by trees. Friendly service and great breakfast. Best to take a tuk tuk into the centre. Bring mozzie repellent!

    We had a nice stay at the eco lodge. Its a little out of town but that makes it a calm place to stay. Its surounded by nature (so be aware that there could be insects etc...). The man who took care of our stay is very kind and caring. He made a good breakfast each morning. We also ordered a diner, a curry buffet. It was very tasty!

    Loved staying here, I passed through Kandy several times and stayed in a private room and also a tent. Both accommodations are really nice, theres a lovely breakfast and the space in the woods is so peaceful and calm. The room is clean and comfortable and the tent was also pleasant. There's a grocery nearby you can walk to, and the city is not too far off, especially if you have your own wheels. I definitely recommend to anyone staying in Kandy.

    Because you’re in a wooded area, more mosquitos. That’s the only downside!

    The staff was incredible. So sweet and so professional. Loved being in the jungle outside of the noisy bustle of Kandy, while still being a quick ride into the city. Also loved having cooking classes, yoga classes and Ayurveda treatments all available.

    Our stay was great! It’s all very basic, but the people are so nice! It’s in the middle of the jungle. And the yoga class is really good! I would totally recommend to eat there as well, because the self prepared food of the cooking couple with the name ‘spice forest organics’ was the best!!!

    The hotel is located in a peaceful area surrounded by nature, offering a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. It’s the perfect place for those seeking quiet and a connection with nature. Guests can also join morning yoga sessions for an additional fee, which adds to the overall experience.

    We loved this place and will definitely recommend it further! It feels like a little jungle with many birds and small animals. Comfortable room and bathroom with a warm water. Amazing breakfast served right in front of your room. Very friendly and helpful host. Yoga classes on the top floor - a cherry on the top of a cake! We liked it so much that decided to book an additional night. Highly recommended!

    Our host was great and helped us with anything we needed. The place is located in the jungle and very beautiful and idyllic. It is bit outside of Kandy but definitely worth the little walk (about 20min) or the short ride with a tuktuk. The yoga class at the rooftop was great!
