If you want to come in Kandy, find a more comfortable and better located place to stay.
Pros:

The host was kind, the bathroom was ok like the pictures. The view from the terrace is beautiful, but the room was dark and not exposed to the view.

Cons:

The are free dogs inside the property, and they quite smell. The worst thing is that during the night they bark all time and it was impossible to sleep.
The room was dark and not like the pictures, but maybe the others are better.
The terrace is unclean and not like the pictures: there is no table and the two chair are old and broken. (I attach photos)
The location is quite far from the city center, and totally on a hill.
Breakfast is quite ok, but nothing exceptional.

Pros:

We had a truly wonderful stay at this homestay in Kandy. The host mother is such a kind and warm-hearted person. From the very first moment, she made us feel incredibly welcome.

She was always friendly, helpful, and genuinely caring. Whether it was giving us tips, helping with arrangements, or simply sharing a smile and a few words, she made our stay very special. You can really feel that she hosts from the heart.

The room itself was simple but it was clean and perfectly fine for what we needed. And honestly, the atmosphere and hospitality made everything so much more meaningful. For the price, it was absolutely worth it.

This place offers more than just accommodation – it offers warmth, kindness, and a real glimpse into Sri Lankan hospitality.

We would happily stay here again 🤍✨
