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.

Schöne ruhige Lage, aber abgelegen.
Pros:

-Sehr schönes und ruhiges Zimmer mit großen Betten und Balkon
-schöne Aussicht auf die Berge
-Sauberkeit

Cons:

- Lage vom Hotel: außerhalb, schwer zu erreichen/ zu finden. Das Zentrum liegt im Tal und auch Tuktuks fahren nicht gerne hoch. Daher bot das Hotel einen eigenen (aber überteuerten) Fahrservice an (800-1200 Rs, PickMe Preis liegt bei 400-500 Rs)
- Keine Frühstücksoptionen und nur (enttäuschendes) minimales Frühstück (Weißbrot Toastscheiben und dazu an einem Tag Eier, am anderen Hopper nur mit Zwiebelchutney dazu einen kleinen (Basic) Obstteller, frischen Saft gab’s nur an einem Tag.
- kein Housekeeping und keine Frage danach
- Freundlichkeit wirkte aufgesetzt und teilweise hatte man das Gefühl, man wird überwacht (sehr viele Kameras in der Anlage & tägliche Anfrage über WhatsApp, wann man nach zurück ins Hotel kommt)
- morgens kein warmes Wasser

Beautiful property with stunning views of Kandy.
Pros:

The room was clean and spacious, spare blankets and pillows, nice little tea/coffee station. Big bathroom which was also very clean. I had breakfast and dinner here which were both delicious! It was lovely to sit on the balcony in the sun in the morning! Pathi was incredibly helpful organising onwards travel which was very appreciated.

Cons:

Highly recommend coming by tuktuk as the property is high into the steep hills of Kandy, around 20 minutes from the centre, but the hosts are very helpful at organising transport if needed. Also, the shower didn’t get very hot.
