Pros:

Wunderschöne Zimmer in einer sehr schönen Villa. Bett, Dusche und Ausstattung lassen keine Wünsche offen. Vom Balkon sieht man traumhafte Sonnenuntergänge die dem Homestay-Namen Alle Ehre machen. Die Besitzer sind sehr liebe und hilfsbereite Gastgeber und das Essen ist wunderbar. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit.

Casa familiar amb de encant de Déu Lanka
Pros:

És una casa particular d'una família local que lloguen dues habitacions. No us espereu un hotel. Tot i així, l'atenció, l'amabilitat i el menjar van fer que la nostra estada fos molt bona. Destaquem en particular el meravellós sopar i esmorzar que ens van preparar amb molt carinyo.

Cons:

La casa es troba situada en una zona montanyosa (molt silenciosa per dormir) i allunyada de Kandy.

Best homestay ever!
Pros:

The best homestay ever! The room was spotlessly clean, spacious, and had everything we could possibly need. The beds were super comfortable, and the bathroom had the best shower we experienced during our entire trip in Sri Lanka.

Even though we arrived late and asked last-minute if dinner was possible, they still managed to cook us a delicious meal — and with the biggest portions! We also had breakfast there on two mornings, and it was hands down the best breakfast of our trip. There were so many varieties, lots of fresh fruits and homemade food — you could feel the warmth and care in every bite, like a mother’s touch.

The whole place felt like staying at our grandma’s home, we felt as we are part of the family. They helped us with everything we needed, gave great recommendations, and were incredibly kind and thoughtful.

They also have a lovely, friendly dog that added even more charm to the experience. We woke up to the sound of birdsong each morning, and the view from the balcony was simply beautiful.

We truly wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Good value but wouldn’t stay again

Comfortable bed. Large room.

Accommodating hosts
Pros:

We wish to extend a big thank you to the hosts who helped us overcome a travel problem when we realised we had made an error with our flight bookings. They calmly cooked us dinner and helped us organise transport to the airport in Colombo very quickly when we realised we were at risk of missing our flight. Than you 🙏

Fabulous stay at Sunset Hills❤️
Pros:

This homestay was amazing💥👍. Wipul has created a little piece of heaven on Earth. My welcome was warm, and I immediately felt comfortable upon my arrival. The house is beautiful and immaculate, with lots of natural light from skylights and large windows. The room I stayed in was immaculate. It was spacious, and the bed, linens, and pillows were extremely comfortable. The room had an air-conditioner, a fan, and a mosquito net over the large double bed. The bathroom had a modern walk-in shower, a separate basin, and toilet, and all fixtures and tiles were modern and aestically pleasing. There was a separate tea and coffee station with a kettle, tea/ coffee/ sugar, and fresh filtered water. The property is situated high in the hills of Kandy with spectacular views and is surrounded by lush, green vegetation. A delicious breakfast of an assortment of fruit and Ceylon Tea was provided. The bedside table lamps were a lovely addition and a light, fluffy blanket made for a most comfortable night's rest in the airconed room.

Cons:

This does not relate directly to the property, but the stray, street dogs started barking at 5 am and woke me up. They stopped barking as soon as the sun rose, so I was able to fall asleep again! This is not the property's concern though.

Beautifully Presented and Located Accommodation - Would Certainly Recommend
Pros:

This accommodation was exactly as shown in the pictures. It was spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable and the views from the balcony were fantastic. The entire property was beautifully decorated throughout and the hosts only too willing to help with advice. We had a huge bag of laundry done whilst there and it came back pristine and beautifully folded. Some form of transport is required as it is up steep hills a few KM from the city. We saw this as a positive because it afforded great views during one thunderstorm we experienced and also allowed for a very peaceful sleep.

Nice stay high above Kandy
Pros:

Very very nice hosts, who helped to plan and organise our time in Kandy. Very good meals, very nice AC room with view. Here you are in a cooler and quiet area high above Kandy.
By TukTuk it is a 20 minutes ride (2 US) to Kandy.

Cons:

Everything is fine, if you accept to be in a cooler and quieter area high above Kandy.

5* experience! You are lucky if it’s available. Unbeatable good price performance!
Pros:

Hard where to start! The house is amazing, really nice rooms too, also hot and good shower! Breakfast and dinner are delicious, I wanted and got typical Sri Lankan food. I could take free, filtered water and fruits anytime. I also liked the kettle in the room. The family and their peaceful dog are precious and so helpful. The location was perfect for me, a bit uphill but easy to reach with bus or tuktuk. Great view from the balcony! It’s close to the Royal botanic garden (high recommendation) and also to the Ceylon Tea museum. Over all a premium stay in Sri Lanka, think it was the best from the past 7 apartments I booked in Sri Lanka!

Cons:

If something is to mention here then maybe that it is a bit outside of kandy. For me actually it was a bonus point, Kandy is loud and busy and you can reach the center of Kandy for around 2€ with a tuktuk very quick or by bus even cheaper.

Outstanding Homestay in Kandy
Pros:

Very comfortable with everything that you could possibly need available.
Very hospitable hosts
Outstanding food/ breakfast and by arrangement dinner was very special, with exceptional taste

Cons:

Contact the property BEFORE arriving because if you drive Google takes you on a very steep and narrow road

Pros:

Our stay at the accommodation, although short (we were just passing through), was very pleasant. Starting with the kindness of the owners, who accommodated us with a late check-in that wasn’t initially planned and prepared an excellent meal for us that evening. The rooms are very good, spacious, and impeccably clean. We really enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it.

Pros:

Lovely family. Amazing food. Definitely recommend breakfast and dinners. The location is gratefully away from kandy central. This is perfect for travellers feeling the need for calm and quiet during evenings, to be ready for bustling city sightseeing. Great walks in area as well.
