Pros:

The room was above my expectations top quality furniture and appliances. Dinner can be provided and if you do have it, you won't be disappointed. Breakfast was also very tasty.
The homestay backs onto a nice quite area facing the river.

Cons:

The room was a bit noisy as the front of the homestay runs onto the main road but it quietens down at night.

Delightful quality property in the outskirts of Kandy offering tranquility
Pros:

Very high quality furniture, fixtures and fittings throughout this spacious property, with large balconies overlooking the jungle and river, yet not too far out of town. Very friendly family business who could not have been more helpful. Breakfast served to us on the balcony beside our room, which was very pleasant. Although the property faces a main road, we could not hear any traffic noise from our room at the rear, the only sound being the birds and other sounds of the jungle in the morning.

Cons:

Wi-fi was a bit patchy, which the owner found equally frustrating and was seeking to address with the service provider.

Saubere und sehr schöne Unterkunft mit viel Seele.
Pros:

Frühstück, Betten, Aussicht, Komfort und vor allen Dingen die Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft hätten 12 Punkte verdient.
DieTerrasse nutzten wir sehr gerne, da man dort morgens Affen (weit genug entfernt!), viele Vogelarten und Streifenhörnchen wunderbar beobachten kann.
Mit den Gastgebern haben wir uns viel
über die unterschiedlichen Lebensarten und Gemeinsamkeiten unterhalten können.
Das Abendessen ist äußerst empfehlenswert, sehr lecker und abwechslungsreich.
Für die Weiterreise wurde uns ein Fahrer mit Wagen empfohlen, der uns bestens (und mit vielen Informationen) nach Nuwara Eliya brachte.
Wir waren restlos begeistert und würden dort sofort wieder buchen.
Ganz lieben Dank nochmal für alles. Ihr seid super!

Cons:

Wir waren begeistert.

Warmherzig, wunderschön, lecker
Pros:

Wir hatten eine wirklich schöne Zeit, auf Nachfrage wurde probiert jeden Wünschen gerecht zu werden und der Hotelbesitzer sowie sein Sohn sind sehr freundlich. Das Essen der Köchin dort ist sehr zu empfehlen. Der Fitnessraum übertraf die Erwartungen und man wurde mit offenen Armen empfangen.

Un endroit magnifique où séjourner à Kandy
Pros:

La maison est magnifique.
La chambre est superbe, très grande, très bien équipée, confortable avec une très belle salle de bain.
Les propriétaires sont très gentils et à l'écoute.
Les petits-déjeuners sont copieux et délicieux.
La terrasse offre une très belle vue et on peut observer de nombreux oiseaux.
C'est agréable d'être en dehors de la ville mais ce n'est pas très loin. On y est en 15 minutes environ en voiture.

Cons:

La route est un peu bruyante, mais ce n'est pas très dérangeant.
