A beautiful home with large rooms with a view of the river and lush mountains and free pro gym.
Pros:

The family is focused on aiding your personalized travel experience. The property is a beautiful large house constructed of hardwood floors and personalized to feel like a home. For about half of my stay I was the only traveler there, and so they upgraded my room and it felt like I had the whole house to myself. The breakfasts were large, varied, and delicious. The balcony view sat above the river with a lush mountain view. As a bonus, the owner manages a nearby gym, which is included in the price. I always try to workout in the mornings, but in general, finding decent gyms in Sri Lanka is challenging, so this is a rare amenity and at no additional cost!

Pros:

Les hôtes sont très accueillants, gentils et arrangeants. Surclassé car chambre avec salle de bain disponible. Cadre très paisible avec belle vue pour prendre un très bon petit déjeuner. Grands espaces. Très propre. On a été faire une séance de sport avec le fils Nirosh juste à côté !

Cons:

Éloigné du centre de Kandy

Incroyablement reposant 🌞
Pros:

J’ai passé 5 jours incroyablement reposants, notamment grâce à la vue donnant sur la nature et le lac. Je me suis sentie comme à la maison, car Nirosh et sa famille sont très accueillants, bienveillants, souriants et toujours prêts à aider en cas de besoin.

La maison et la chambre sont propres, avec la climatisation dans la chambre 👌🏽
Le petit déjeuner est bon, généreux et consistant.

Je reviendrai ❤️🙏🏽

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.
