Deer Hill Rest Kandy

Everything about this place is absolutely perfect! The room, the cleaning, the attention to details they had, the view, the food, from Breakfast to the dinner they were perfect, the location immersed into the nature in the jungle of ella hills and close to the river , but last the main important thing, our host family, with nirosh conducting everythinh we needed like he was our captain of the ship. I absolutely loved it. went there with my girlfriend this has been the best choice of our trip to sri lanka. Highly recommended! We came as guests, we left as friends. I cannot explain it in words, you have to try it yourself. 10/10 is my vote only because i cannot put 100. Perfect!❤️

Leaving was the worst part.❤️😂

Excellents hôtes, aux petits soins et très serviables ! Ils nous ont upgradés avec une chambre salle de bain privative gratuitement, c’était très gentil !

The room was comfortable and Nirosh went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. It's such a quite location and so beautiful. The breakfast is always good and plenty of leftovers. They do their best to be environmentally conscious and ot shows. The view of river is nice.

What can I say about my stay with this truly amazing and beautiful family... I came for the Kandy Esala Perehala Festival and was absolutely blown away by their kindness and generosity... they arranged excellent tickets for me and all my travels into Kandy via tuk tuk whenever I needed it. Dummie also did me the great honour of travelling with me to Sigiriya Mountain and Dambulla Cave Temples... and his son Nirosh also invited me to train at the local gym where i was made to feel extremely welcome by all those not only in the gym but within the village community.The location is truly amazing with a hidden and almost unknown cave temple just a few steep steps away with some truly wonderful paintings.... it is tranquillity itself. I was extremely sad to leave, but I also know that I am coming back to complete the pilgrimage and a silent retreat next year... By the end of my stay 9 days, we were just like family, and I can not recommend Deer Hill Rest enough...

Leaving and going to Ella... the train journey is truly beautiful, but Ella itself is a tourist trap, which i couldn't get out of quick enough...

A gorgeous property with the most incredible view of the river! Nirosh and his family were so welcoming and helpful, they helped us arrange transport and gave us good advice about what to do in Kandy. The daily breakfast was delicious! We would love to stay again. If you’re thinking about booking Deer Hill Rest - just do it!

Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt! Die Unterkunft ist familiär geführt, die Gastgeber sind unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit – man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Alles war sauber und gepflegt, man merkt, dass hier mit Herz gearbeitet wird. Die Lage ist zwar ein kleines Stück außerhalb vom Zentrum, aber absolut in Ordnung – mit dem Tuk-Tuk oder Roller ist man schnell überall. Insgesamt eine sehr empfehlenswerte Unterkunft für alle, die es ruhig und herzlich mögen!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The environment was peaceful, clean, and very welcoming — truly a pleasure to be in. The staff went above and beyond to provide friendly, attentive service throughout my visit. From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort and hospitality. Looking forward to staying here again!
