Superbe hôtel dans la jungle!
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at Hanthana House.
We chose it specifically because it was located outside the city.

The rooms are beautiful, and the construction is of very high quality. The view from the hotel is simply unbeatable.

Ashan was an invaluable help throughout our stay. He took us on a sunset walk and gave us plenty of great advice for our short stay in Kandy. He truly made a big difference.

We had one lunch and two dinners at the hotel. The food was delicious. The only criticism I could make is that the meal prices are quite high compared to what you might find in town. (10 usd per adult per meal!).

That said, everything was excellent. I would recommend that future guests make sure to check the prices beforehand.

Cons:

It’s true that finding a tuk-tuk to go into town and come back can sometimes be a challenge, especially with the increase in fuel prices. But with a little patience, we managed every time.

残念。
Pros:

部屋からに景色は良かったです。
それと、子供の誕生日にケーキを用意してくれたので、嬉しかったです。

Cons:

2泊しましたが、1泊目はシャワーのお湯が出なかった。夜10時くらいでしたが、ホテルの電気は消灯されスタッフを探せずその日は水シャワーで我慢しました。
スタッフへの連絡手段がわからず困惑した。

電気のスイッチもドレッサーの後ろにあり、とてもつけづらい。

食堂は工事現場の隣なので、景色もないです。

Agréable et reposant

Bel emplacement sur les hauteurs de Kandy, avec vue sur la jungle.
L’accueil est très agréable, comme toujours au Sri Lanka.
Un service de Taxi entre l’hôtel et le centre-ville et mise à disposition.

Pros:

Great accomodation in Kandy. It is a bit further up the Hanthana mountains, but it is worth the trip - the location is quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. The food is delicious, and the owner, and the staff are friendly, and helpful. They organised a day trip in Kandy, transfer, and even a cooking class in their own kitchen for us. Thank you for everything Pati, and family.

Pros:

Heerlijk eten, schone mooie kamers, aapjes op het terrein.

Cons:

Activiteiten georganiseerd door het hotel veel te duur vergeleken met andere aanbieders maar door de locatie geen makkelijke mogelijkheden om zelf iets te organiseren.
Let op bij het afrekenen.

Ruhiges Hotel über der Stadt gelegen
Pros:

Sehr freundliches familiengeführtes Hotel, hoch am Hang gelegen, sehr ruhig und abseits des hektischen Treibens in Kandy. Sehr gutes Essen im Restaurant, toller Kochkurs und Angebote für Touren.

Super séjour!
Pros:

Nous avons passé 2 nuits en famille dans cette super guest house. Nous avions une grande chambre familiale avec balcon. La literie était très confortable. La maison est au calme dans les hauteurs de Kandy. Le petit déjeuner était très bon. Nous avons fait l’excursion du Pecoe trail proposé par l’hôtel accompagné par Ashan. Ce fut une superbe expérience, il s’agit d’une marche de 12 km sur les hauteurs de Kandy entre les plantations de thé, les temples, les petits villages… Ashan a été le meilleur guide, il nous a expliqué beaucoup de choses sur le thé, les plantes, les animaux de la région.

Cons:
