The Traveller Kandy

Our favorite hidden spot in Kandy with an ammmmazing view and the hosts are very kind and helpful. We have stayed here twice and both times were well taken care of.

I fell in love with this place! The spacious room and common areas are very clean. The balcony offers a breathtaking view. There’s a small kitchenette where you can boil water, use the dishes, and store food in the fridge. Within walking distance, you’ll find a vegetable shop and stores with all the essentials. Simple yet delicious Sri Lankan food is available nearby. The room doesn’t feel hot, so there’s no need for air conditioning. I didn’t even use the fan. It’s a perfect place to relax and recharge after exploring the mountains and local sights. Getting to the center of Kandy is easy: take a tuk-tuk or hop on a local bus, which runs frequently. The host is an incredibly kind, hospitable, and responsive person, always ready to assist with anything you need. You can tell he truly loves what he does. He also has a wonderful dog, which makes the place feel even more welcoming. A pleasant surprise for me was that they sort waste here, which is rare to see. For just $13 a night, you won’t find a better place to stay in Kandy!

great place to chill, 10 mins out of the city. stunning views, peace an quiet. Harshana is a warm welcoming host, a fellow traveler. would definately stay again. cheers brother

Absolutely everything! Host, Harshana is extremely helpful and great to talk to, fluent with english. The room is amazing: spacious, comfortable, 1000% spotless clean, and the views outside Your window just… wow! Hidden gem! (The food is great too!) (The dog is lovely as well!)

Nothing, flawless :)

My sister and I had an amazing stay here! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The room was just as shown in the pictures—clean, spacious, and with a spotless, well-maintained bathroom. Everything we needed was there. The host/owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to help. Such a caring soul! One of our favourite parts was the view—waking up to the magical lake view every morning was unforgettable. Since the property is slightly outside Kandy town, it was peaceful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing stay. We absolutely loved our time here and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kandy!

I travelled alone and stayed for 5 nights and would definitely come back!! Was made to feel so welcome. Harshana was a fantastic host, very chilled but also very on it with any questions info :-) Stunning design, interiors - like something out of Elle Decoration magazine but with sweet humility and without the ridiculous price tag. Fantastic views from my balcony and a communal area. I loved the homely and super calm feel. I had a really spacious room. The food was delicious. It's about 15-20 mins out of Kandy so much less touristy which I loved. Easy to get into Kandy non-stop buses and tuk-tuk and the Pick-me app was great. Lassie the dog was the icing on the cake!

The most beautiful place i've stayed in so far! Harshana is very cool and open and as a solo Traveler it is very Nice to have his company! He works very hard and it shows. The place is super clean. I would recommend getting food in the house itself because it was so delicious. Plus: you get to have dinner with a view that looks like a painting!
