Nothing… all lovely!

The property was the perfect oasis out of the city. The rooms were spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The pool area and outside was the star of the show, again great attention to detail. The breakfast was really tasty and plenty full. The tuk tuk ride in was around 60p so didn’t mind being out of the centre. The host was really sweet and super helpful.

A small paradise!

Absolutely nothing negative to say- it was very good value for money! Not the most budget accommodation in Sri Lanka but for £15 per person per night it is no worse price-wise than staying in a European hostel.

Absolutely stunning interior design and architecture, every detail though about and a beautiful showcase of Kandyan art- a total feast for the eyes! The swimming pool was the perfect cool off after a day of exploring Kandy and the location is just far enough out of town to be peaceful but a short tuktuk ride into the centre. It is also near a very well stocked supermarket. The hosts were wonderful and made us a delicious breakfast.

Very happy with everything!

Stunning room and amazing hosts. The pool is very refreshing after a hot day. The rooms are exquisitely decorated. We recommend Cafe 1886 downtown for curry and walking distance to Spice & Herb restaurant. Starlit night and saw lots of fireflies on the way back to the hotel, magical!

Lots of stairs but just helped with the luggage, you can hear a lot of road noise.

Very clean, neat and tidy.

Nothing. Maybe a suggestion. It could be nice if there will be a mini fridge in the room.

we loved how the place was designed meticulously by the owner himself. The room is cozy, quiet , surrounded by greens. AC works fine. The owners are friendly and approachable. They recommend us things to do in Kandy as well as easy way to catch the train.

Really quirky & very artistic decor. So unique!

We travelled with family and had rooms on various levels. Family reported a damp smelling room on the ground floor and room very dark both due to the dense foliage - the garden never really seemed to dry out after rain. The pool was beautiful but sadly much colder than expected due to the sun not getting through the foliage to heat it up and so we didn’t use this as much as we were hoping to.

Beautiful property which had been built/renovated to an excellent standard. Lush gardens and a lovely pool area. Rooms were large and comfortable with thoughtful design and decoration. Lovely couple who owned and managed the property who were helpful with taxis and recommendations for sightseeing. Great breakfast.

Couldn't use the pool on the first day as it was being cleaned but this was very minor

The decor was unbeatable, it was so gorgeous with a lot of effort and thought gone into the design. t The owners were so accommodating, the atmosphere, the breakfast, just the general environment, it was so peaceful and gorgeous, we were sad to only be staying for 1 night!!

A lovely 2 night stay at Villa Olde Ceylon. Spacious and comfortable room with lovely balcony overlooking the refreshing pool and beautiful courtyard garden. The owner/ manager was extremely helpful in assisting my partner with arranging on the spot repairs for our rented tuk tuk - thank you again. Our only suggestion for improvement would be a more local breakfast option.

This property is sensational! It is built from the heart with decor from the region and artistically dispatched. There is a small courtyard with a pool and many trees-you feel that landscape around you. The only thing they could improve is the breakfast. The fruit plate is exceptional but the eggs and toast are repetitive. We stayed 3 nights so would have appreciated some variety. Other than that, we highly recommend this place!

Villa olde Ceylon is run by the loveliest couple, the hotel is so beautiful and the husband built it from scratch. Incredible attention to detail and felt like a little oasis away from busy Kandy town. The rooms were clean, big and spacious with a balcony, AC and lovely hot showers. They were so helpful organising tuktuk’s for us and giving us recommendation as well as cooking us delicious breakfasts. A gorgeous start to our holiday in Sri Lanka, would highly recommend.

A fridge in the room would be good, and a blanket (we were provided with one when we requested).

Don’t be deceived by the outside. Inside lies a lovely hotel with quirky and interesting decor set away from the busyness of Kandy. Staff are very accomodating - made us an early breakfast when we had an early check out and gave good tips for restaurants.

Breakfast was a bit simple and location is a 30 min walk outside Kandy city

Beautifully decorated villa with a very nice pool. One of the nicest rooms we stayed in during our trip.
