Beautiful clean, comfortable rooms. Newly finished wonderfully creative & green hotel. Both Western & very delicious SR breakfasts available. Delightful & generous hosts showing us the best things to do from ayurveda massage to the cultural show. A 15 minute walk down the hill to the lake or an easy tutuk ride. Nice little pool to cool off in.. Has filtered water available. Local shops have good 'small bites'.

We only stayed for one night but we immediately felt so welcome as soon as we entered the house. The family is super kind and does everything for you to enjoy your stay. They cooked the most amazing and authentic dinner for us and we even got a ride the next morning very early for us to be able to catch our train! Thanks to everyone <3

We enjoyed our stay here and we could have been here for a longer time. Owner was supernice, friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and big with a nice view. Shower got hot water and air quality was great (AC!). If we would have stayed for longer time we definatelly would have enjoyed the good kitchen, morning yoga and loundy service.

The location was great (really close to the center) and with a beautiful view over Kandy’s hills. Jaye and his entire family welcomed us in the best possible way (always available to answer to all our requests and with lovely conversations on Sri Lanka and its culture). We couldn’t be happier with our choice!

    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.
