We had a wonderful stay! The view is breathtaking, the room was amazingly clean and fresh with comfortable bed. The whole family was so helpful and kind, even helped us with food when we arrived late and hungry. Our best stay in sri lanka so far. Definitely recommend staying at mountain view guesthouse when you are in Kandy!

We booked one night here, and we are staying for an additional four nights. We are delighted with our spacious and very large bathroom. The room is clean, and there is a hot shower. We enjoy sitting on the second-floor balcony in the morning, sipping coffee and enjoying the view. The host takes good care of us and is very friendly.

We had an amazing stay at Kandy Tree Tops. The owner UPUL is super nice , he has a great family , his oldest daughter is PHD of Harvard University . Hhis young daughter is won a lot swimming races , he showed us round his cozy home and shared with us some nice photos and stories of his family . All beyond our expectations, food was fresh and tasty and we enjoyed eating our breakfast on the balcony with a beautiful view. It’s well located - easily commutable to the main attractions, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city to have a peaceful nights sleep. It is one of our most favourite places we have stayed at during our trip to Sri Lanka. Would highly recommend.

The host, just 26 years old, has built this place from a very basic level to a beautiful property with 5 clean and comfortable rooms. The whole place is calm and quiet, perfect for relaxing. Our room and bathroom were spotless. We had a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast the biggest and most delicious breakfast I’ve ever had in my life! The host truly doesn’t care about money, he is genuinely focused on giving the best service to his guests. Highly recommended!

    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.
