The place is amazing in every single way. The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. Outstanding views and very quiet area, just 15 mins away from the city centre by tuk tuk. The family is lovely and very helpful. The food and the cooking class are beyond words. I definitely recommend this homestay to everyone one.

Nita and her mother are so friendly, they made us feel like staying at home. we had a cooking night together, and we made the transitional sri lankan dish (they were sooo yummy, especially the 7 veggies curry) and coconut rotis. Nita’s daughter is very supportive when we need some help for communication. we really enjoy our stay!!!;) thank you Nita for the great hospitality!! oh, the view from the room is so nice, and the breakfast was so delicious too! ;)

It's a place with an incredible view! It's a bit far from the center but you can take a tuk tuk and that's it! The room was very clean, the breakfast was very good for the price. The staff was very friendly at all times. They helped me get a tuk tuk to take me to the station and at night they recommended where to have dinner.

    The Homestay is operated by a heartfelt loving host family. You feel welcome immediately and home. The rooms are pleasantly organized. Especially the light-flooded common room with dining table and arms lines for reading is inviting. From the terraces you have a view view to the Knuckle mountains. Mahesh is a helpful organizational talent, the mother prepares for breakfast, as well as tasty local food on request. I felt very comfortable in this Homestay.

    Jaye’s Homestay was a great property to stay at. The owner, Jaye was a great host who kind and attentive. He prepared a delicious and giant Sri Lankan breakfast. Highly recommend. The rooms are spacious and the shower has good water pressure. The view from the shared balcony was lovely. The walk to the city, whilst up hill is only 10 minutes away maximum. Very good stay!

    Cham and his family are incredibly great hosts. He supports you wherever he can, is always there for you and available, helps you organise trips and simply makes you feel at home in his homestay. The vibe in the house is incredibly positive. Everyone smiles and it's just lovely. The breakfast in the morning is wonderful

    I found this to be a lovely homestay. The place is filled with wood carved artwork, it’s like a museum. The host family is very kind, will help you with what you need and work their magic in the kitchen creating delicious meals for breakfast and dinner in my case. The also organize tours, which I joined and that was money and time very well spent. The homestay is a good 10 minute walk to town center, but it’s a relatively quiet one along the lake (north side).

    Great staff, nice view and located close to the city center! Book a tour on forehand via withlocals.com and look for a tour with host Buddhima. I promise she'll elevate your stay in Kandy and let you taste the best (street)food, fruits and spices. The rooms in the homestay are large, clean and the breakfast is good!
