    A little tricky to find. A sign at the top of the driveway would help. I

    Big room with small balcony and pleasant view. The bathroom was a great layout (the water from the shower did not go all over the floor). Being able to use a lounge and kitchen was excellent. Short walk into the centre of Kandy. Nice hosts.

    Near to town, 500m uphill walk but no problem. Many good restaurants in town, every day a food adventure. I loved seeing the monkeys playing while having my morning coffee on the balcony, seeing the birds and chipmunks scrambling around.

    I liked everything about the accommodation.

    Very spacious and comfortable accommodation. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Quiet location but not far from central Kandy. Good breakfast available . All in all a very pleasant stay and good value for money.

    I've stayed here 3 times before and wouldn't stay anywhere else in Kandy. Clean, comfortable and run by a lovely family. It's in a great spot, near to town and in an area where you get a feel for real Sri Lanka community .. not just tourists ☺️ would never have any hesitation in recommending and value for money is exceptional.

    Small challenge with signs of how to get to the place. Host sends photo, but the house is not marked at all, so can be confusing. Look for the yellow Beatle VW car and a stick of trip Advisor on the window.

    Fantastic hosts, tones of important tips where and when to go and what to see. Spacious apartment, very clean, hot water, kitchen, tea coffee accessible. Quiet location. Nice old, colonial furniture.

    Place was advertised as with washing machine but you had to pay to do laundry.

    The rooms were big and spacious, also pretty clean and barely saw any bugs. Shower had hot water and was big. There’s a balcony connected to the bedroom which is nice to sit during sunset. There’s a big living room to make use of outside the rooms and also a small kitchen with a fridge/tea/coffee. There’s only 2 rooms in the complex (owners live next door). Hosts were very friendly. You can do laundry there for 1,000 washed and folded back to you. Only downside is the place is 15 min walk away from the centre and slightly uphill (but not terrible)

    Nothing, everything was perfect.

    An extremely nice homestay. Very kind and helpful owners, an elderly couple. My room was big, with high ceilings, hot water available, comfortable bed. At walkable distance (20 mns) from the Temple of the Tooth (but it does require some climbing from the Kandy road). Laundry service available. Very good breakfast at an extra cost. The owners arrange tuk tuk rides. Common area with electric kettle and fridge. A peaceful oasis in the chaotic city of Kandy. I would definitely come back!

    There is a school next to the stay and it plays morning prayers very loudly and it could wake you up.

    The property owner is a really nice person and well attentive. The place is well cleaned.

    The location is great, far from the noise of the city but accesible by foot if you want to reach the center are and the couple that run the home stay are fantastic, friendly and super helpful, if you like to talk about any topic, Nayana one of the owners, will be pleased to have that good time with you.

    Nothing. No frills, just what you need on an exploring trip.

    Room basic but ideal for a clean comfortable stay. Breakfast was a real pleasure and a great start to the day. The hosts were always on hand to give advice and organise transport. Highly recommend.

    A lovely home stay with such kind hosts! Close to the main centre but out of the noise and chaos. The rooms were comfortable with everything that you need. Breakfast was yummy (the best coffee we have been served!), filtered water available, and the hosts were very helpful. We would stay again!

    Ok stay in Kandy

    - Wifi- it was terrible for most of the time. I had to stay on my last night until after 1-2am because I could not book a hostel for the next day. My phone does not support e-sim so I had to reply on wifi. I could not even load the booking.com page (following my trip to Sri Lanka and all issues I had- I am changing my phone). - No kitchen per say- I was under the impression from the photos I saw on here and google that there will be fridge in the kitchen. There is none. There is only plates and mugs, and a kettle. because it is so humid in Kandy- no food can survive outside. I had to throw food away. It does also give the impression they are more hospitable but no- you do not get to talk to the family much. - Cleanliness- my sheets were clean, but overall my room needed a bit more cleaning- too many spiderwebs. - It was difficult to find- my taxi went in circles a couple times until we find it..even his navigation could not find it easily and he was Sri Lankan.

    Let me start with the good things: - The host was incredible kind. He showed me the pictures of his family which were in the main hall. He was very kind to tell me about his family. - they also send you an email with details around sights to see in Kandy which is quite helpful.
