From arrival the hosts were super friendly - we were given a cold orange juice to sip on balcony with a beautiful view of Kandy. Our room was clean and bed very comfy (with lots of pillows and duvet and AC in room), bathroom was also nice and had soap/toilet roll! The breakfast in the morning was delicious - highly recommend getting if you stay (Sri lankan food and fruit / tea & coffee). The owner also drove us in tuk tuk to train station next day. Great price and a beautiful view from the location, with some really nice restaurants nearby

I like everything, the hospitality of the family, the respect that shows to the guests, the family prices, and the behaviour to the guests. The location was also perfect for me, far enough from the city to sleep peacefully but not that far from the city center, so even everyday commuting was not an issue as the bus from a near by bridge drove me for 50 rupees to the city center. I got fruits for breakfast as I asked, and the dinner was huge and tasty as well. Thank you for those four days I could spend with you and also thank you for the Sunday trip to the market and a tea factory. Take care and see you soon.

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.
