Pros:

Ver boven de stad Kandy met uitzicht op het meer en tempels ligt de grote luxueuze bovenverdieping met grote ramen rondom. Indrukwekkend! Dag en nacht adembenemend uitzicht. Alles keurig en schoon. Fan en airco (extra kosten, goed om te weten).
Ontbijt Sri Lankaans en brood met toebehoren.
Perfect verblijf.

Cons:

Het is goed om te weten dat het wat verder van de stad (en dus winkels en restaurants is), houdt hier rekening mee. Maar je krijgt er zo'n prachtige uitzichten voor terug!

Vue panoramique sur Kandy
Pros:

La vue à 360° est superbe sur Kandy et sur le temple de la dent.
Loin de l'agitation du centre ville et accessible facilement en Tuktuk ou à pied avec une petite montée.
Notre hôte était très accueillante, nous avons aimé échanger avec elle et le petit déjeuner était copieux.

Great views in Kandy
Pros:

The views are obviously amazing - day and night. The room is very spacious and everything is very clean. The host is a nice lady - the family lives in the buidling, the room is on top of the house. Breakfast was served in the garden - a nice mix of local and western food. We were even given breakfast packages the morning we had to leave early for a train.

Cons:

it is a bit off locationwise. Walking down to the city is about 15-20 min, up the hill I would recommend a car/tuk tuk. Funny enough it is quite noisy as the sound travels up and you are on top of the hill - so take earplugs if you dont want to be awaken by 5:30h from the chanting.

Amazing views, lovely hostess, fantastic breakfast
Pros:

Amazing view from the room, very hospitable lady, superb breakfast and only a 15 minute walk down to the city. For the way back up, a tuktuk is easily arranged. Just great!

Exceptional
Pros:

First, the host, Anoja, was very friendly, and we had a very nice conversation. Second, the place was spotless, felt homey, and it gave me a sense of comfort the second I walked in. The 360 view where you can see the whole city, including Kandy Lake, is unmatchable. Lastly, I was offered a Western or Sri Lankan breakfast but ended up going with a fusion of both, which was excellent on the porch with a little bit of sunlight.
I definitely recommend this place.

Very confortable and nice stay in Kandy!
Pros:

The house is very nice and everything is very clean. The people are very nice and helpful. The place is located on a hill which means it has a wonderful view onto Kandy. The walk down to the city center is easy and fast. For the way back up, we preferred to use a Tuktuk :) We definitly recommend the accomodation.

Amazing Stay 🤩
Pros:

The house is amazing, Anoja great and incredibly kind host with big patience. Room was super clean, Anoja was helpful and sweet and she prepared great breakfast combination of western and Sri Lankan. She also found for us driver Tushar with whom we spent 2 days and it was definitely highlight, that we can recommend too 🙂
The room is on the top of their house, but we did not feel unwelcomed or that we would be disturbing anybody, so it was not an issue at all 😊

Cons:

We liked everything and following are just things for travellers to consider, but for us it was not problem at all:
- it is true that it is up to the steep hill, but that is a price you pay for the beautiful view and you can take always tuk tuk.
-The deluxe room is little bit humid, but it might have been caused by lots of rain while we stayed. If you need to dry clothes, you can ask Anoja to put it out for you.
-Take earplugs, because at 5:30 you will hear a lot of music from mosque and buddhist temple, but I think that is issue for many places😃 With earplugs the sleep was good😃

Amazing stay with a fabulous host
Pros:

Amazing stay! We booked the room at the top of the house, on top of the hill, with 360 degree views. It was stunning. Comfortable bed, desk, kettle, tea and coffee making facilities best view from the loo (!) - go!
Breakfast was included and Anuja made us traditional delicious Sri Lankan food and beautiful fruit. It is on the top of the hill so yuk yuk up, walk down to Kandy or Big Buddha.

Cons:

Nothing. It was amazing.
