The owner is extremely kind and available for any type of advice from a local perspective. Really a valuable plus in a big and crowded city

Great services. Great location, close to the main temple. Exellent vegeterian meals. The host helped us to arrange tickets and places for Perahera festival and was very helpull in general.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Looks can deceive. On the outside this looks like a regular home. On the inside is home. This place provides EVERYTHING. We felt so welcome. The workers were awesome. But the woman who owns this place owns town. She sat down with us, askes wo we were, what our plans were, gave tips and suggestions but not in a pushy way. We had the pleasure her granddaughter (and daughter) was just visiting her which was very heartwarming to see. And. This is exactly like visiting Grandma.

We loved our stay at Madugalle's family guest Inn. We were welcomed very warmly in the beautiful house with a cup of tea and a chat with the Lady of the house, who was extremely kind and very helpful. We could listen in on one of the granddaughter's classical sri lankan singing lessons and enjoyed a lovely breakfast. This house made us feel very welcome in Kandy!

I liked everything.

Great place it is a classical Kandyan house with lots of history. It is like a museum. And the rooms are very good. The house is full of plants, which is great. And the location is superb! Close to everything.

Room is very simpel and moscitonets had a view holes in it.

Kandy Inn Madugalle's family guest house is in the City Center of Kandy. Behind a inconspicuous small door on a big street you can find a small, quiet, Green oasis with a lot of plants. The owners are a really warm, lovely couple and made us feel comfortable. We got some tea, when arriving. Also a little cat is Living at their guesthouse which is really cute. The rooms are simpel, but clean. The location was great so that we could walk to tooth temple and local market. We only stayed one night but enjoyed Our stay! Thank you very much!

Nothing to mention

Very good place

Some reviews mention the road and rail noise. You are right in the middle of a busy city and, yes, this can be noisy but, after 10pm at night, this quietened down and we slept well.

Excellent location - within walking distance of the lake, temple and cultural centre. Kumari and all the staff were friendly, helpful and informative. This feels like a very authentic Sri Lankan home and is a haven from the hustle and bustle right outside the front door.

Our stay was perfect, exactly what we wanted from a Sri Lankan family home stay - thank you!

We had a pleasant and peaceful time at this homestay. The lady of the house is an exquisite and kind person, lavishing lots of useful advice while always being polite and courteous. Definitely the best experience we have ever had at a homestay, and we have seen many! Suggested for those who want to have the experience full of charm and authenticity of an old house right in the center of Kandy

This guest house was such a cozy and authentic place! Beautifully, very authentically decorated, super clean, white linen, hot water in the shower - I couldnt expect more for my one night stay. It is in a very good place also - absolutely central, no climbing included, just a very short walk straight to the lake, temple, and cafes (Java lounge has a superb cooffee!). Also, I was absolutely impressed by the owner lady - such a beautiful, warm, aristocratic-like woman, offering me tea on arrival (its a real shame I didnt have time for it!). She spoke just perfect English and spread this amazing energy ❤️ All the best for you all!

All was excellent

The guest house is gorgeous, clean, breakfast was scrumptious. Ms Kumari runs a fabulous place that I would certainly recommend. Many thanks, we will return again soon.

Unfortunately, the floor was quite dirty, and the lack of air conditioning could be a bit uncomfortable on warmer nights.

The accommodation is in a great location, in the hustle and bustle of the city center. The hosts are very kind and helpful. Cozy, beautiful place. Wi-fi worked well.

Stayed in February 2025

The rooms can be a bit loud as you can hear traffic and other guests if the windows are open.

The homestay is in an ancestral family home in the Kandy city center. Major attractions such as Kandy Lake, the Tooth Temple, and the Kandy dancing show are within 15-20 minutes walking distance. There are several amenities including grocery stores, restaurants, bakeries, and ATMs within a 5-minute walk. Our host was extremely kind and provided us with delicious Sri Lankan style home cooked breakfast and dinner on request. The room was basic but had everything we needed.

Best location in Kandy. Everything was perfect. It is interesting to visit the house of locals with such an interesting story. This is the best impression of Kandy. Thank you so much for your hospitality. An incredible experience.

Staying in this place makes you understand what it means to be in a Sri Lanka guest house, surrounded by kind people who fulfil the whole experience. The house teleports you into a timeless place, excellent to chill and rest from the noise of the city. It has an incredible view. It has an excellent location and is at a walkig distance of many landmarks. Very good internet and hot water is a great plus! [There is a lovely cat living there]

It's a charming old house with relatively basic, but clean and comfortable accommodation. Madam is a welcoming host who sat with us and chatted over breakfast. None of the positive reviews mention the train line behind the house and indeed, on our first morning I was woken at 5am by a train going past (6am the next morning). I can't say it bothered me and it didn't wake my wife. Some negative reviews say there are better value places for the same price. I can assure you that's not our experience in Kandy. Believe the positive reviews and add the morning train and you'll have a good idea of the place.
