The best stay I've ever had. Memorable for life for sure! I was so stressed out by Kandy's hectic city vibes, that their beautiful hotel felt like an oasis (just as it looks and feels like on the photos). I had completely forgotten about dinner, and was surprised with scrambled eggs on toast (my favorite!). Chanaka & Moon are two beautiful people, who look after their guests wonderfully. Even though I would not like to visit Kandy city again, I would visit again only to stay at Villa Olde Ceylon for multiple days <3

the place is very nice, clean and surrounded by nature. it’s a bit outside of the centre, but we prefer that as opposed to being in the city, as Kandy is very busy and loud. the rooms are big and some have a balcony with a beautiful view. the family is extremely nice. the breakfast was amazing. we also had dinner there one night and it was delicious as well. one of the ladies also washed my pants when i asked if they offered that service and she did it free of charge. highly recommend!!!

The owner Mr. Viper and his workers were very kind and helpful. The family room was clean, large and opens to a balcony with panoramic views. There is access to a common kitchen and dining room which was useful. The Tenthola is in a very nice and quiet location. A feast is served for breakfast on the balcony. We would definitely return when in Kandy.

Loved our stay! The couple who runs the place are lovely and so helpful. They made our stay the best, and had lots of helpful tips to make the most of our trip to Kandy. Nice location in the hillside, but still close enough to walk into city center. Would 100% recommend and go back!

It's a very very charming boutique hotel. It has an Italian design. The manager speaks good English and knows what hospitality is. He organised everything for us, was genuine interested and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is also good. And it's easy in this hotel to also meet other travellers (with families). The views from the hotel are stunning, it's a little bit out of the city center but therefore also nice and quiet.

The lake view and quiet location are delightful in the morning. The guest house thrives primarily due to its two fantastic hosts, who took excellent care of me. Enjoying a beer and discussing politics with them was a warm and welcoming experience. The recommended dance show is truly worth attending, even though the audience is predominantly white.

Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.
