Guest Reviews

• Olivier (9/5): We really enjoyed our stay here. The accommodation was peaceful, clean and offered everything we needed. The hosts were -
• Claire (9/5): - J'ai aimé le personnel adorable qui a meme été cherché et cuisine un soif pour notre fils de 2ans qui avait faim et qu'on voulait coucher rapidement. Super petit déjeuner, super emplacement. Eau chaude Pas de clim dans notre chambre alors que la chambre des enfants en avait. Dommage pour nous
• Chloe (10/5): Great short stay - I liked everything about this place! Staff were incredibly kind and helpful. I had only and afternoon and one night stop over in Kandy. The host organised tickets for me to see some traditional dancing and helped me plan out my afternoon to see some of the main attractions to make most of my time there. The guest house has a very laid back hostel feel which I loved. Communal indoor and outdoor area where you can meet other guests. They also provided the most delicious breakfast. Room was also cozy and clean! Very happy. Would stay again! Nothing
• Katie (10/5): The accommodation made kandy even better for us - The location was excellent, 2 minutes down to the lake, 5-10 minutes to the main part of town with loads of shops and restaurants, nice walk around the lake to get there. Room had everything you needed. They arranged a tuk tuk day tour around kandy for a very good price! The breakfast was great. And most importantly, the guys running the place were brilliant, so friendly, helpful & we had a right laugh with them and the other wonderful guests there in the evening! (& to Mr morris, if you’re reading this - hi!!)
• Roberta (10/5): -
• Ricky (10/5): The Lake Round Guest House. - Everything was great, special mention to staff that really go above ans beyound for their guest. Fruit platter breakfast was amazing. Large clean room. Perfect location so site seeing. Nothing. Everthing was above my expectations.
• Julius (9/5): -
• Aththanayaka Mudiyanselage (2/5): -
• Virve (10/5): Majoitus ylitti kaikki odotukseni - Aamiainen oli aivan mahtava ja todella suuri. Henkilökunta oli super mukavaa. Kuvien perusteella en odottanut, että paikka olisi niin kiva, se ylitti odotukseni. Keskustaan on kävelymatka.
• Havenaar (9/5): - Good and very friendly host.
• Katie (9/5): - Delicious Sri Lankan breakfast and comfy room in a good location.
• Ellie (10/5): J’ai adoré mon séjour : personnel super chill, endroit très propre et déjeuner délicieux. - L’endroit était très propre. Le personnel était super sympathique, ils nous ont recommandé plusieurs choses à faire. L’emplacement était idéal pour nous. Nous avons apprécié cette hostel donc nous n’avons pas de mauvais commentaire à faire.
• dharmendra choudhari (7/5): -
• Danielle (10/5): Super chill perfect stay! - Everything, super chilled happy hosts, big room, hot water, good wifi, quiet location but only a minute walking to the lake and 10 to the city, they have beer to buy and tea and coffee is free Nothing
• babolat (10/5): -
• Tobias (7/5): -
• Julie (8/5): Très bon emplacement et calme - L’emplacement, le personnel très sympa Les fourmis dans la salle de bain à gogo même sur les lunettes de toilette et le petit dej non inclu
• Roberto (6/5): Non come nella descrizione - Posto pulito in posizione tranquilla. Non aspettatevi molto di più. Ho prenotato una "tripla deluxe" e c'era la possibilità di scegliere l'opzione fumatori. Peccato che la camera aveva solo una finestra su una zona laterale e quindi per fumare si doveva andare fuori dalla struttura. A questo punto perché mettere questa opzione? Mi aspettavo un balcone o qualcosa di aperto collegato alla camera. Ovviamente a questo prezzo non avevo grandi aspettative, ma almeno avrei voluto i servizi indicati.
• Sharjeel (6/5): -
• Kristel (10/5): - Excellent location near city centre, very relaxed atmosphere in the place and ca 15 min walk to main bus station. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. The room was clean. N/a
• Matt (9/5): -
• Cecilia (9/5): - Hôtel parfaitement situé, au calme, sur les hauteurs du lac, légèrement en retrait du centre, et à la fois à seulement quelques minutes à pied du centre ville, du centre commercial, des restos, etc. Pas besoin de tuk-tuk, même avec des enfants. Aussi, l'accueil était très chaleureux et la chambre était très bien et très propre. Les petits déjeuners étaient aussi très biens. Rien de négatif à dire... vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés. Attention toutefois au GPS qui a tendance à ne pas indiquer le bon itinéraire sur les derniers 200 mètres, mais finirez par trouver.
• Théo (10/5): -
• Nikki (10/5): Een heerlijk verblijf gehad! Fijne locatie, schone kamers en heel vriendelijk personeel! Zelfs een nieuwjaarsontbijt gek -
• Roman (5/5): - Slíbená snídaně byla ráno zrušena.
• patrice (9/5): - Emplacement ideal Acceuil et personnel tres sympa
• Agnes (9/5): - L'emplacement : tout peut se faire à pied (sauf le jardin botanique évidemment !) Personnel extra, hyper gentil et serviable. Nous étions dans la chambre qui donne sur l'espace partagé. Bon... En soirée il peut y avoir de l'animation. Le deuxième soir, nous avons rejoint le petit groupe improvisé et nous avons passé un très bon moment d'échange et de partage. Et voilà ! Pas de problème, que des solutions ! 😉 Surtout que ça ne dure pas non plus jusqu'à très tard. Endroit propice aux rencontres. Idéalement bien placé et très propre.
• Andrew (9/5): - The place was super nice and comfy. The owners were welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend staying here when you visit Kandy!
• Vidanage (8/5): -
• Gerlinde (10/5): Schöner Aufenthalt, sehr freundliche Gastgeber - Gut gelegen gegenüber vom Zahntempel auf dem Berg fussläufig alles erreichbar. Die Zimmer sehr groß sehr sauber. Sehr leckeres reichhaltiges Frühstück Zimmer hellhörig
• Nadja (10/5): - If you travel solo as a woman, this is such a good place to be. The 3 guys who run this guest house are so nice and gentle and they will help you with everything you need. Also the breakfast in sri lankan or english way was so nice! Thank you guys for the nice time🙌🏼 and btw the place of the guest house is perfect you can take tuktuks really easy or even walk to the city center
• Arne (10/5): - Wir waren hier für eine Nacht und es hat alles gepasst. Top Lage, super Personal und schönes Zimmer mit AC. Mehr braucht man nicht. Die Zimmer sind etwas hellhörig.
• Rhian (9/5): Simple, excellent value for money, great location and lovely staff - The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The value for money is unreal.
• Jessica (10/5): Gentilezza e comfort - Staff gentilissimo e disponibile, ottima anche la colazione. Stanza spaziosa e letto molto comodo! Grazie 🫶🏼
• Michaela (9/5): - Naprosto milý a vstřícný personál. Splnili nám veškeré požadavky a navíc ještě zařídili řidiče za velmi lidové ceny.
• Lisa (8/5): Toller Aufenthalt! - Sehr freundliche Besitzer, es wurden uns Tipps für unseren Aufenthalt gegeben und das Frühstück war sehr gut.
• Lukas (9/5): - Die Lage nahe am See, fußläufig zur Stadt und dennoch in einer ruhigen Straße ist sehr gut. Man kommt schnell überall hin, hat aber auch etwas Ruhe und Luft. Die Jungs im Guest House sind super. Wir hatten abends spontan ein paar Bier zusammen. Man kann also in der Unterkunft auch gut socializen, wenn man möchte! Preis/Leistung ist in Summe sehr gut. Danke Anushka und Team!
• Oihane (10/5): -
• Rotaru (9/5): - Struttura davvero molto bella e sopratutto molto “chill”, si trova a pochi passi dal centro, dopo aver faccio una passeggiatina di 10 min e una piccola salita per arrivare in hotel. Consiglio davvero perché lo staff ê davvero cordiale e gentile
• Piotr (10/5): Miły pobyt! - Blisko centrum, przyjazna atmosfera, pomocni gospodarze. Dostępny czajnik, lodówka. Pyszne śniadanie! Klimatyzacja w pokoju daje super radę. Jasne pokoje i dobre światło w łazience. Organizują wycieczki po Kandy (jeden z kierowców Tuk Tuk również wchodził z nami do świątyń i zachowywał się jak przewodnik!), mają taxi service. Przyjemna przestrzeń wspólna w środku i przed budynkiem. Słychać wszystko z pokoi obok. Brakuje miejsca aby odłożyć bagaż - musi być na podłodze. Bardzo wolno schodzi woda pod prysznicem. Sofa w przestrzeni ogólnej wymaga wyczyszczenia - brzydko pachnie.
• Chaxu Lad (9/5): - Staff were very friendly and helped with info. Very close to the lake and city centre.
• Geneen (8/5): Relaxed casual guesthouse in great location. - Great location - short walk to lakefront and Temple of the Tooth. Breakfast plentiful with choice of local or Western food. Bedroom spacious., well shaded so kept cool without aircon. Casual relaxed vibe but still attentive staff. Bathroom plumbing difficult to work out- no idea how to get hot water in the shower. Small lounge/foyer area with small sofa which seemed to be used by staff - so didnt feel welcome to be there.
• axelle (10/5): Hôtel parfait, allez-y les yeux fermés ! - Emplacement parfait, personnel de l’hôtel très sympathique et accueillant. Nous avons passé un séjour parfait à Kandy grâce à eux. Ils ont tout organisé à des prix très corrects. Je conseille grandement la visite d’une journée en tuk tuk avec le contact de l’hôtel qui était vraiment une très belle personne et qui prend bien le temps de tout vous montrer et vous expliquer. Rien, tout était parfait !
• Steve (8/5): - The staff were unbelievably helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble from making me endlesscups of tea to arranging tuk tuk tours and transfers to kandy. Nothing stands out
• Matthias (9/5): -
• Paulo (7/5): -
• SILVIA (7/5): -
• Alexander (8/5): - Super angenehme und gesellige Gastgeber! Das Frühstück ist eigentlich perfekt! Die Zimmer sind sauber aber sehr hellhörig :)
• Peter (8/5): A good place to stay. - Friendly staff, huge breakfast, location (close to town), quiet.
• Silvia (10/5): -
• Franziska (10/5): - Perfekte Lage, man ist schnell zu Fuß im Zentrum von Kandy und es ist trotzdem ruhig. Der Besitzer war super freundlich und das sri lankische Frühstück extrem viel und extrem gut (die Reste konnte ich einpacken und mitnehmen). Große Empfehlung!
• Jane (10/5): - The guys running the place are AMAZING. It felt like home. Sad to leave.
• Coraline (10/5): Génial, parfait pour une étape à Kandy - La gentillesse des frères propriétaires La qualité du petit déjeuner vraiment top et ses choix variés Lits confortables Wifi qui fonctionne tres bien Conseil pour activité et repas Rien tout était parfait, on recommande ++++

• céline (9/5): A good quality guesthouse in Kandy city center - Very good place, well located just a few minutes walking from Kandy city center. We were just here for one night, but i would have liked to stay here longer to see more of Kandy. Very helpful staff Perfect breakfast. Good quality for very affordable price. Nothing. Having read a lot of negatives things about Kandy, i have been surprised by the city, which i found beautiful and interesting, full of life! And i found that this guesthouse enhanced the experience thanks to its location and good service.
• Julieta (10/5): Muy buena ubicación, cerca de las principales atracciones y muy amplio y cómodo. - El alojamiento estaba limpio y era amplio -
• Walsh (10/5): - Great bunch of guys who run it, go outnof their way to include you, recommend doing a walk through Knuckles with them!
• Daire (10/5): -
• Carmen (9/5): -
• Anja (10/5): - Polite and helpful staff. Good location, clean, would stay again
• Franziska (10/5): Sehr schön - Das Personal war sehr freundlich
• Hollywell (9/5): -
• Manu (5/5): - The room and beds were clean. The bathroom shower hot water wasn't working well. It was a surprise when the guy asked us to remove our shoes to enter the reception area . That wasn't very welcoming.
• shaoshen (10/5): -
• Caterina (10/5): - Staff super disponibile, preparato e accogliente! Ci hanno dato tanti consigli sulla città e su eventuali trekking da fare nei dintorni di Kandy. Abbiamo passato una serata super divertente, scoprendo giochi da tavola locali insieme ad altri ospiti!
• Charlie (8/5): -
• Casper (7/5): - Overall nice guest house. Especially the breakfast. Be careful when booking a Tuktuk driver via the guest house. The one they gave me didn’t want to go to the places I told him to go to and only wanted to bring me to shops.
• Benjamin (8/5): -
• Michelle (10/5): -
• Masa (10/5): Highly recommend - Location was good, host amazing and very clean
• Krzysztof (10/5): -
• Andreas (10/5): -
• Andreas (10/5): - Die Mitarbeiter waren super freundlich und hilfsbereit, man bekommt gute Tipps und Antworten auf alle Fragen die man so haben könnte. Bubzy spricht sehr gut englisch und hat uns viel erklärt, danke dafür 😀 Das Frühstück lohnt sich definitiv, es war sehr großzügig und super lecker Die Lage des Guesthouse ist ebenfalls gut, man kommt schnell zu Fuß in die Stadt oder zum Zahntempel. Zu weitere Attraktionen kommt man mit einem TukTuk auch recht zügig. Wenn man hier etwas schreiben möchte, dann kann man nur sagen, dass die Zimmer sehr hellhörig sind.
• Ana Luiza (8/5): - Nice staff, good and big room and amazing breakfast. They don't accept cards, only cash.
• Jesús (9/5): -
• Hugo (7/5): Chambre pratique et spacieuse. - La chambre est spacieuse et propre. Le logement est très bien situé pour descendre dans le centre-ville. Je suis un peu déçu par contre sur les serviettes et le tapis de bain qui n’étaient pas propres. De plus malgré que la chambre soit propre, une odeur très désagréable était présente. Nous n’avons pas réussi à identifier la source de cette odeur.
• Guest (10/5): - Jsme rodina s dětmi 3 a 5 a za nás klidné fajn místo. Možná není pro někoho kdo chce městskou zábavu v Kandy, ale opravdu kousíček od jezera buď pěšky nebo z centra tuk tukem.
• VIGINESWARAN (10/5): -
• Carla (10/5): -
• BRITT (7/5): -
• Sophie (10/5): Très bien! - Bien situé Très bien pour une nuit à Kandy, excellent rapport qualité prix
• Laura (8/5): - De plek en de mensen ‘s avonds naast onze kamer gezang en veel muziek. Daarom iets minder beoordeeld. Verder alles heel goed.
• Jack (7/5): -
• Guest (10/5): Fantastic - The People are great and very helpful and make you feel at home.. the rooms are comfy and clean and bonus having hot water. Location was spot on.. thanks Guys all the Best!
• Johansi (8/5): Gut gelegene Unterkunft mit ordentlichen Zimmern - Diese Unterkunft liegt sehr nahe am See. Restaurants und Sehenswürdigkeiten sind leicht zu Fuß erreichbar. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und groß. Allgemein gleicht das guest house einer Unterkunft für Backpacker. Das Frühstück war recht ordentlich. Am ersten Tag besser als am zweiten.
• Светлана (10/5): - Останавливалась в The Lake Round во время путешествия по Шри-Ланке. Атмосферное место! Кофе с мягким светом и книгами на столе, музыка, и с заботой выращенные растения вокруг. Невероятно внимательный Бопси как добрый джин исполнил все желания, организовал все трансферы, подсказал, где купить и что посмотреть. Чану воплотил всё в жизнь..Всё спокойно, без лишней суеты — но с настоящим участием. Номер чистый, бельё свежее, душ работает, комаров не было. Район тихий, удобно добираться до центра и озера. Особенно приятно было выпить кофе по прибытию и также ранним утром. Если вы тревожный турист, который переживает за комфорт и безопасность — это место вас приятно удивит. Здесь настоящие мастера своего дела. Это супер хозяин. Я бы с удовольствием вернулась. Удачи этому дому и спасибо за понимание и заботу!!! Я счастлива, что выбрала именно этот вариант.
• Conceição (8/5): simple, clean and quiet hotel - This is a simple hotel, clean and comfortable. Localization: The hotel is near the main supermarkets, restaurants and shops, but away from the busy area of Kandy. It is in a hill. The rooms are large and have the minimum equipment. Good air conditioning. Bathroom - Good. Shower with hot water Young friendly staff. Wifi: Good In resume, it is a simple, clean and cheap hotel in a quiet zone. The breakfast is not included and the price is a little high. The payment is only in cash. There is no TV.
• Noa (9/5): - Very clean and comfortable! Nice staff. The location was a bit up the hill but easy to get to with a tuktuk/car/walking.

• Jessica (6/5): Sehr gute Lage, nette Besitzer, auf Wünsche wird nicht eingegangen, mäßig sauber. - Lage super! Wände wie aus Papier - man hört alles! Frühstück, auch nach bitte es nicht scharf zu machen, war sehr scharf. Viele Tiere im Zimmer, keine Moskitonetze am Bett
• Graham (8/5): Great value accommodation, close to town run by nice managers. - Great location - easy walk into town. Nice room - clean and tidy with air cond and ensuite. Lovely owner and staff - very helpful. They had a communal kitchen that worked well for us as we needed a fridge for medicines. Small number of rooms meant that there was not much coming and going. Overall a nice cheap place to stay. They locked the doors at 10pm. So if one is later than 10pm you had to pound on the door till you woke up a guest. I was woken at 1am!!!!!! The general noise came from kitchen area when people were just relaxing, but they were loud and playing loud music. However this stopped about 10pm. The usual 5am call to prayer woke us up but that is OK as the day was nice then. They don't accept credit card which is a nuisance too.
• Mandy (10/5): -
• Thais (6/5): -
• Malshani (6/5): - Good..friendly costumers service.Comfortable
• Endrizzi (10/5): Parfait - C’était parfait. La chambre était très bien, propre, moderne et avec la Clim. Le personnel était très gentil. On a pu laisser nos affaires dans l’entrée toute la journée après le Check out. Je recommande. Aussi, c’est super bien placé, à maximum 10 minutes du centre ville.
