Just one small thing - no air conditioning. However, there is a fan mounted on the wall which kept us a little cooler.

The room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. The location was 10 minutes outside of Kandy centre, but for me this was a positive due to the chaotic nature of Kandy itself - it was nice to have some peace out in the nature. The host himself was extremely welcoming, very friendly and happy to help without almost anything

The house is located down a narrow, steep road - one tuk-tuk driver refused to go down (though others had no issues). However, the neighborhood is very safe for walking, and we discovered that accessing from the other side offers a wider, gentler route through beautiful rice fields. Don't miss the spectacular walk to the right when leaving the house - it's like having your own private scenic viewpoint!

The host Sri makes ALL the difference here! The room itself is simple but spacious, with a proper shower box and hot water (no A/C needed in Kandy anyway), and a super breakfast, but what truly sets this place apart is Sri's incredible hospitality. Located 10 minutes by tuk-tuk from the center, it's great value for money. Sri went above and beyond - sharing his fridge, providing ayurvedic remedies when my partner was unwell, booking cultural dance shows at the best seats, giving endless helpful advice, and even driving us to the bus station for free when we left. He also helped organize activities for our next destinations through his contacts. Sri embodies the warm Sri Lankan spirit and his genuine care made our stay memorable. Highly recommended for travelers who value authentic hospitality over luxury amenities!

Our room didn’t have curtains on the window, which if you’re sensitive to light, then best to bring an eye mask. But this also meant the room was nice and light during the day time.

Peaceful location which gave a good respite away from the bustle of the town. Well looked after by the host, lovely breakfast. Helped with booking train tickets from Kandy - Ella on the day, which we were very thankful for as had been messed about by another provider! Nice bathroom, with hot shower.

Everything was so good.

I had a wonderful stay here! The host was incredibly kind and welcoming – he even came to pick me up from the train station when I arrived and when I leaved which was such a thoughtful gesture. The breakfasts were very delicious, with very good fruitsalad (on the beautiful balcony), and he truly took great care of me during my time here. He also gave me very helpful tips for traveling around Sri Lanka, which made my trip even better. If you're looking for a warm, authentic, and peaceful place to stay, I highly recommend this place. You'll feel right at home!

The host is very friendly and approachable, will give you suggestions for places to visit in Kandy, where to shop, and always tries to make sure you're comfortable. I also did a tour to Pindurangala, Dambulla and Spice Garden which was very nice. The room is comfortable and you can have a delicious home made breakfast on the balcony 🙂 It's only a 10min tuk tuk drive from the center.

We had a wonderful stay at this place! Sri and his parents were amazing and made us feel very welcome. We especially appreciated the great tips the host gave us for exploring the city and discovering excellent restaurants. The room was cozy and well-equipped, but the real highlight was the stunning balcony with a view of the jungle. The breakfast was delicious and the perfect way to start the day. The hot shower after a busy day was a real treat. We highly recommend this homestay and would definitely return!

This place of Sri and his family is a truly hidden gem. So much love and calm you will find there within a truly authentic local experience. Highly recommend to stay there. We just stayed on night unfortunately but everything was truly amazing. Lovely host, communication, incredible breakfast and the room/house is in such a good calm nature area, still close to the city if you want to experience kandy.

Nothing

The room was spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed. There was hot water and the wifi worked well. Breakfast was delicious and there were so many options which you could choose from. Location is great, really quiet and pretty but only 15 mins away from the city and tuktuks are very cheap. Sri was so welcoming and willing to help us with anything that we needed. Would very much recommend!

Wifi wasn't always the best but this didn't affect our stay :)

We had an absolutely amazing stay! The room was clean and very comfortable. We loved the balcony and having a super delicious breakfast there enjoying the views and birds around was just so great! The location is a bit off the main city but we really enjoyed this as it wasn't so busy and the rice fields close by were a perfect place for sunset. On top of this, Sri and his family are so kind and helpful with everything! We were also able to rent a scooter which was really helpful too! We will definitely be back!

Perfect place for a short stay with a lovely balkony where a breakfast was served. And the owner who was the most welcoming person we’ve met in Sri Lanka.

Stayed in February 2025

The room is very nice, comfortable and clean! There’s hot water and shampoo and body wash provided. Towels are really good. The balcony has nice view. Breakfast has lots of choices and it was really yummy. The owner is so kind and helpful in anything you need. He even took us to rent the scooter. Best accommodation I’ve stayed in all Sri Lanka!
