Villa Serene

Nice view and all people r very kind and friendly.

Beautiful views to the mountains from the bedroom and the common room (huge windows and a balcony). The hosts are a nice couple. Very comfortable, wide beds. Room had a fan and private bathroom with hot water. The common room is ideal for having meals and working. Wifi signal is strong.

It’s not in the center of Kandy as it was advertised but about 1,5 km north (steep hills). Several Uber and Pickme drivers cancelled on me and the tuktuks at the bus station didn’t know where it was (didn’t have smart phones and also couldn’t read maps). It was a bit of a frustrating experience at first. I just wished I had known. It takes about 10 min by tuktuk to reach and around 200/250 lkr by tuktuk. The actual place is amazing. I did find though that it would be even better if it was a bit tidier (in the kitchen, etc). But all in all is good value for money, if you don’t mind being a bit further away from the city center.

Very quiet, great view of the jungle

Slightly out of town, 20 minute walk to centre but it’s up and down, but the owner has a tuk tuk, and he can take you places, he’s a good man

Hosts are a lovely couple that we take in our heart :) The common areas were great with amazing view, breakfast was delicious, room wide and clean... all perfect!

I had a wonderful 2 nights at Villa Serene. The hosts are very friendly and helpful people. I enjoyed talking with them lots. The accommodation was great in a quiet green spot away from the noisy city. I felt very at home and relaxed. Breakfast was also great. I could definitely come back to villa serene. I walked everywhere so walking into the city is a short distance.

Our hosts were very lovely and accommodating. They arranged transport, meals, laundry, everything we needed. We felt like visiting our family. The view is incredible from the balcony.

Unfortunately, there were a couple of rainy days and our room got molded because it was directly under rain. However, the hosts helped us change rooms and everything was fine in the end. The villa is somewhere uphill and it was quite difficult to get a "Pick me" but our host gave us a ride whenever we needed. :)

Nice people, okay rooms.

A bit up the hill.
