Guest Reviews
- Willikonsky (7/5): okay for 1-2 nights - friendly staff, welcoming and attentive the location has a beautiful view but is really gar up and the roads are steep and bumpy. We has some issues that tuktuk drivers did not want to bring us or pick us up from there so we had to walk a bit down.
- Tóth (9/5): -
- Udaya (10/5): -
- Hasitha (6/5): - No food facilities . They said Breakfast not availble because of no gas.we order our food from outside
- Anamaria (10/5): - The most pleasant stay, we liked every part of it. The staff was very friendly and prepared so nice rooms for us. A best stay and the breakfast was exceptional.
- Tobias (10/5): -
- Mariam (10/5): Super hôtel je recommande 🔥 - Le personnel
La chambre
Le balcon et rooftop ont une super vue panoramique Rien
- Champika (10/5): It's a paradise full of beautiful people and great Location - They are amazing staff and we should be grateful to receive such a great service from them. I recommend for this hotel 5 stars.
- Connor (10/5): Wouldn’t usually write a review but felt necessary with how lovely the staff were. They couldn’t do enough for us! - Staff made our stay, food was also delicious! Little bit out the way and difficult to get to
- Jessie (10/5): Mooi schoon hotel met waanzinnig uitzicht - Een heerlijk hotel met waanzinnig uitzicht over Kandy. Hele vriendelijke mensen die met alles helpen. De kamer en badkamer waren heel nieuw en schoon. Koffie en thee werden op verzoek naar de kamer gebracht en vanaf het balkon kun je een geweldige zonsondergang zien. Het hotel ligt wat hoger, vandaar ook het mooie uitzicht, maar we konden het prima bereiken met onze eigen gehuurde tuktuk. De wellness was gesloten voor onderhoud, dat wisten we niet voorafgaand aan het boeken, maar dat verklaarde wel de grote korting op de prijs.
- Geoffrey (6/5): - The view was excellent, but the isolation was enormous Everything was slow. Advertised as a hotel, but no alcahol licence. Restaurant was ad hock. Very limited choice and very slow.
- Michael Jan (9/5): -
- Madonna (10/5): - I love staying at Golden Sky when im in Kandy. The views & breeze so refreshing. The staff very attentive & helpful. The manager speaks english very well & is helpful with arranging travel. In all ways they seek to make the most comfortable stay for guests. It it very clean with spacious rooms. All with balconies and comfortable beds.. The breakfast fresh and made exactly what i want. Bed sconces, fan & plugs conviently controlled at bedside. The ambiance is superb as they blend nature and architecture. There is a bit of an echo in halls, due to spacious high ceilings magnifying voices. But it is quiet at night
- Stepan (6/5): - Приехали поздно, нас ожидали, в целом быстро оформили и заселили. К персоналу претензий нет совсем, радушно встретили, были рады помочь. Красивый вид с балкона. И в целом все неплохо, но вот постельное испортило все впечатление. Непонятные пятна были везде. Грибок в душе на стенах. Подводя итог, переночевать день-два можно.
- Paweł (7/5): - Location view friendly staff Unfortunately from toilet was stink so much from drainage and rooms are connected with doors,we had terrible Turkish neighbors who fight all night and was very difficult to sleep
- Preboda (10/5): Excellent Hotel staff and service. - It was a great and pleasant experience for us. Excellent staff and clean rooms, wonderful environment. Thank you and appreciate those who supported us during our stay. Good Luck .......
- Francisca-Julie (4/5): Sehr freundliches Personal aber leider dreckige Laken und ungenießbares Frühstück - Gute Aussicht aber leider direkt mit Baustelle vor dem Balkon und dreckigen Laken Gelbe und braune Flecken im Bettlaken
Frühstück nicht gut (sehr trockenes Toast)
Schlechte Erreichbarkeit über PickMe (Fahrten wurden immer abgelehnt)
- Cyrill (10/5): -
- Čapek Marjanović (10/5): - The stuff were very pleasing and nice, they arranged transfers for us. They prepared food according to our wishes. The view is amazing and rooms are big with fans and AC. We were alone in the hotel, we didn't meet any other guests for some reason.
- Flavio (9/5): Great views, fresh air, nice kitchen, Very kind staff - If you're in Kandy, this is a perfect place to be. You'll have an amazing view over the city and you'll get fresh air. Also the staff is very helpful and the kitchen is very good. The breakfast menu was delicious but it was a bit too much. The communication should be clearer. It might be better if a guest could fill out a form in the evening before or sth like that.
The room (suite) offered too little. A table and a chair are minimal requirements to call it a Suite in my honest opinion.
- Martin (10/5): - Toller Service vom Personal.
- Joana (7/5): Staff is nice but dogs in cages - not human. - The staff was friendly and helpful. I was really disappointed to see two dogs kept in cages near the parking area, tied with a short wire that didn’t even allow them one meter to move. It felt inhumane and truly heartbreaking. I hope the management can improve their living conditions as soon as possible.
- Martin (10/5): -
- Luis (9/5): Recomendable. - Nos gusto el trato del personal. Nada más llegar, nos invitó a un café. Fueron resolutivos durante toda la estancia y estuvieron muy pendientes de nosotros.
Muy buen desayuno y muy buenas vistas. 1) Aparte de la reserva en booking nos querían cobrar un 10% adicional.
2) Nos quisieron cobrar la comisión que ellos abonan a booking al publicar su establecimiento. Al final se aclaró este “malentendido “.
3) Tardaron más de 40 minutos en subirnos el desayuno, a pesar de haberlo gestionado el día anterior, complicándonos una actividad que teníamos posteriormente.
- Kai (7/5): Nice but not quite as comfortable / relaxing as we hoped initially - Nice personnel, very helpful and kind
Private parking is great
Restaurant was convenient and offers tasty food (but took quite long)
New facilities Wifi was not good
Surrounding area was noisy (construction work)
No hair dryer, shower gel was empty
Had to wait very long (around 90 mins!) for food in the restaurant
Lots of animals, especially dogs, on the property (e.g., some also pooped close to our room door, which was not so nice); one dog actually barked at us aggressively and didn’t let us through to our vehicle in the evening
- Faraz (10/5): - Very friendly manager staffs including all department.ready to help. very delicious food.
Will recommend this place to known people.
- Tharash (10/5): - Good place and beautiful area views
- Leonardo (9/5): -
- Alessandro (9/5): - Personale davvero molto cordiale. Struttura in fase di ultimazione, ma questo garantisce stanze nuove con bagni ottimi. Ottima colazione e possibilità di cenare. Si trova sopra Kandy, fuori dal caos e lo smog della citta!
- Sam (7/5): -
- Arda (9/5): -
- Kira (10/5): - The owner of the hotel, all the staff and her family are so welcoming and kind! They helped me with everything I needed and shuttled me personally to the places I wanted to go, provided me with informations for my stay in Kandy and Sri Lanka. The rooms are big, clean and comfortable.I had nice and interesting conversations and everybody was so gentle and warm. Definitely a great hotel above the busy city of Kandy, with a great view and very obliging people:) loved it!
- Nicolas (9/5): A bit away from the city, but perfect to relax from Kandy. - Very modern and clean. A lot of space.
- Sirimevan (9/5): Superb -
- Elisabeth (9/5): Great base for Kandy - Comfortable clean room, friendly helpful staff. Fabulous views! A great base for exploring Kandy. We had a third floor room. WiFi struggled, in spite of the booster. We ended up using data.
- Wei (9/5): Superb -
- Elizabeth (5/5): Good value. - A little off the beaten path but good value will need Tuk Turks to get you around from here.
- Danielle (10/5): Great stay - Gorgeous hotel & lovely helpful staff
- Piergiuseppe (8/5): Worth for money - The employees are truly kind and very helpful Too many stairs to climb, from street to rooms and hotel is too much uphill respect the city center
- Emma (10/5): Stunning views over Kandy! - New hotel just outside the city in the hills with stunning views over Kandy, where the air is clean and you can watch beautiful Sri Lankan birds in the trees from your balcony. Welcoming and helpful staff and owner who arranged our tour of Kandy with a great driver Imran. We would recommend this place to anyone coming to Kandy.
- Maciej (10/5): Very comfortable stay - Very open hearted Host and helpful staff. Great atmosphere. Rooms was comfortable. Tasty meals. Our arrival was very early in the morning. Supportive Host welcomed us and made it happen for us. Higly recommended place with nice view on hills around Kandy. Far from noise of the downtown.
- Amila (7/5): Other than the lift Good place . - Friendly staff, clean, Good food , There was no lift to reach our rooms.
We had a heart patient n if was more difficult .
Need a lift ASAP
- Pradeep (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rebeka (10/5): Panoramic accomodation at the top of the city - Well -designed ,new building. Super clean rooms.
Closed parking plot for our car.
Stunning view from the balcony with fresh air.
The owner is helpful !
Thanks again for your hospitality! ☺️
- Marija (10/5): Exceptional - We loved the view and the peace this hotel offers. The staff were extremely sweet and attentive. The property is at the top of Kandy so you can see everything that's happening beneath you. The trees are full of life and we could see parrots and hummingbirds flying around us from the balcony and during dinner.
- Dayanan (3/5): Poor -
- Jacqueline (8/5): Great place, friendly staff, the best view ever and really good value fof money! - Spectacular view Very steep walk up to reception
- Alina (10/5): Amazing view and super friendly staff - Highly recommend this hotel, they offer top level service. All staff super friendly and helpful, always with a smile and lots of positive energy 😇 room was very comfortable, clean bathroom, no problem with hot water. The view from balcony is just amazing, the location definitely worth it. Outside the room you can make a tea or take the water for free. You can also have a tasty breakfast or dinner with the same view in their dining area. Big thanks to the chef Sanjana for advices and new food experiences 🤌🏻
All in all perfect ☺️
- Simonheagney (9/5): Best balcony in town - Surely the best view and sunset in Kandy. Room was heavily discounted on booking.com. The staff are there to help, and the owner spent time in WA!. I do recommend breakfast because of the opulence (view, silverware,etc). This location is not
centre and you don't want to be in town. It's worth being up here. I'll repeat this point bcs booking said in town. The views from each room are worth the visit and we wished we booked more than one night. At first the location, but once I calmed down the location made sense. The City is not like the other tourist city's. The hotel has 13 rooms soon the be labelled. There's plenty of stairs, I think it's good for your health.
- Florian (9/5): Superb - Breakfast and dinner was great. The hotel is 10 min outside of Kandy centre but not a problem. Hotel staff is very, very friendly and get us a contact to the best Tuk Tuk driver of Kandy. Ask for Kadar! He's a local and was working as a tourist guide for more than 20 years. He can give you the best informations about Kandy and the whole county. We've followed his instructions give us contacts for safari, stays to the south of Kandy and had the best time caused of his advices! The bed sheets were a bit dirty but hotel staff come around immediately to change them!
- Anthony (9/5): Superb - Highly highly recommend booking here! Very attentive to all my needs and arranged driver to show me around the city.
- Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lina (8/5): Beautiful views and away from the chaos! - The location provided us with a wonderful view of the sunset. We only stayed one night to catch the train from Kandy to Ella, therefore can’t say much more. But the view from the balcony is spectacular.
Upon our request we were served fruit and coffee before leaving, the fruit was delicious!
The staff was nice and helpful. The bathroom smelled like the drainage wasn’t cleaned / cleared when we got in the room. Since we’ve had this issue in other accommodations on Sri Lanka before we didnt point it out. It was better in the morning.
- Anburaja (7/5): Good ambience and friendly people and delicious food - Location of the property is super. But this is still under construction, may be future they may organize well. Staffs are very friendly and the food was very delicious. To reach the property is not easy, too narrow roads with high steeps. Those do self driving think twice. There is no reception in this hotel. Reach staffs you need to come down every time.
- Tharindu (9/5): Superb -
- Thomas (9/5): Lush stay in Kandy - Very clean and developing. Room was spacious and WiFi was good. Up on the hill so can get a good sunset and sunrise views on the balcony.
It is a new development so some work going on but not that noticeable. Will be an even better hotel in the future Food was a little slow to arrive for dinners but when it did it was very good and the staff were friendly and helpful.
- Jane (10/5): Wonderful place to stay - Fabulous Views, beautiful clean comfortable room , very pleasant staff Everything was great
- Justine (10/5): A place to call home away from home with a view that is spectacular - We had a fantastic stay at Golden Sky Residence. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful, the rooms were very comfortable with everything you needed, the food was delicious and the views were to die for. Outstanding!! 🌟 Nothing. It was all great 😊
- Sandro (9/5): Superb - Amazing view, the host is very kind and helpful. Enjoyed the breakfast, room and shower was spacious. It’s uphill, which sometimes makes it hard to find a pickme for transportation. Still you are very close to the city center.
The hot water needs to be turned on 40 minutes before usage, though it didn’t seem the tank was able to store a lot of hot water.
- Tommi (8/5): Very good -
- Madonna (10/5): Exceptional - Golden sky was so welcoming! Golden sky sent their driver to meet me at the bus stand -what a relef! throughout my stay, the owner did everything she could to ensure a superb stay. They have an in-house tuk tuk at fair prices available & can inform on places to see & things to do. The place is new, clean, open & spacious. The double glass doors in my room opens to a spacious balcony, on a hill with the cooling breezes comming in. (Never needed the aircon). The room light & plugs well placed. Bed very comfy! Blackout curtains also.
The dining area is a very large porch open on 2 sides, with beautiful views , good breeze & yummy foods. As a solo traveller, i met other travellers to share nearby hiking with at breakfast. The roof & the rooms have views of the city. It's in a quite location on a hill, easy access to town.
I had an in-house massage that was simply amazing.
I booked 1 night, stayed 5 bc it was so relaxing & comfortable. The staff is friendly & helpful. I plan on going back as I really enjoyed being in Kandy. It was all good!
- Tracy (9/5): Superb - Some noisy dogs at night but nothing the hotel can do about that. Some noisy dogs at night but nothing the hotel can do about that
- Samuel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kalpani (8/5): Very nice and comfortable. - It has a great view and nice rooms. It is located on a hill so it is only reachable by a TukTuk, which was kindly organized by the hotel. The owner and the hotel staff were very friendly and the breakfast was very big and delicious. There was a spa with a good massage therapist including a herbal sauna. Sometimes there was a bad smell coming from the bathroom (probably from the drain). But this smell would vanish after showering.
- Sean (7/5): Good -
- Freya (7/5): Good - The view was absolutely stunning. The room was in poor condition when we arrived:
The bedsheet had yellow stains and was very thin.
All the windows were left open, and the lights were on, which attracted countless insects into the room.
We had ants in the bed.
Overall cleanliness was far below acceptable standards.
Overall, it was not the best experience. Significant improvements are needed, especially in cleanliness and room preparation.
- Fanni (9/5): Superb - The owner of the hotel and her family welcomed me as a new member of their family. They were great and trying to help me with any kind of requests. There were huge winds during my stay and it was really loud in the room, also I could hear any word if someone was speaking on the corridor.
- Kseniia (10/5): Thank you all, especially our tuk-tuk driver who organised so nice one-day tour for me and my sister around Kandy and to - Everything was perfect, thanks for hospitality! —
- Lucy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ellie (8/5): Very good -
- Michelle (9/5): Eye in the sky - We loved our stay at Golden Sky the hosts were amazing and accommodating , the room was lovely and clean ,the views were incredible. The tuk tuk driver Kader was absolutely incredible so knowledgeable and extremely helpful , went above and beyond to get us the best experiehce/seat at the culture dance. The food for breaky and dinner was absolutely delicious, can't recommend this place enough 😋
- Evie (6/5): Pleasant -
- Thevarajah (9/5): Superb - The owner of the property was really friendly and helpful, She accommodated all our requests and took care of us. And view from the rooms is breathtaking (photos attached) Other guests. Unfortunately, there were other guests who had alcoholic drinks and smoked in the common area of the floor we stayed until late night/early morning next day. They were loud and made the entire area a mess.
I think these rude guests took advantage of the hotel management being nice to guests.
- Oskar (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely, modern room with a breathtaking Kandy panorama view from the balcony
- André (9/5): Superb - Wonderful hotel, high standard and very clean. The view over Kandy and the surrounding mountains is spectacular, perfect for sunsets/sunrises. The room is spacious and the bathroom very good.
The staff is extremely polite and helpful, they speak English too and help with organising tours through Kandy or other sightseeing points like Dambulla or Sigiriya as well.
Also they pick you up from the station at arrival and a driver could always bring you down to the city center Please be aware the location is very remote. You will need a tuktuk for everything, however the hotel normally can provide you with one if you are a little flexible with your timing.
There are no restaurants in a walkable distance and the hotel restaurant is very tasty but very expensive for Sri Lanka standards. If that is ok for you, it's the perfect place to stay.
- David (10/5): Amazing and comfortable stay with stunning views of Kandy - Amazing accommodation from the comfort and view of the room to the lovely hospitality of the host and driver. Amazing place to stay in Kandy - would highly recommend! Nothing bad to say!
- Raeesul (10/5): Overall experience at the preimises very good and enjoyed the stay Friendly owner and helpful staff -
- Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional - Staff incredibly helpful and friendly.
- Dagne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tom (8/5): Beautiful view! - Comfy and clean. The view is absolutely stunning and way better than staying right in the heart of the city which can be a bit tough going with noise and pollution. Food is good, nice breakfast and home cooked curry selection for dinner. Owner will collect you from train station which was good. Only issue was the tours offered through the accommodation. They will set you up with a driver but little bits may be added on such a visit to a tea factory (fine), but they will also take you to a spice garden which is a well known scam in SL. This was disappointing as I felt they should be protecting their guests from this instead of leading them into a negative situation where they could be scammed for £100s for fake medicine. The spice garden is also listed in their brochure for tours so it isn’t something the driver added on himself. I would advise just getting a lift to the place you want to go then using Pickme.
I would give them the benefit of the doubt on this though. Overall it was a really nice stay and the hosts were kind and helpful. Maybe more of a minor tweak than something that should stop anyone from staying here as generally the experience was good.
- Rukash (10/5): Wonderful place to stay with stunning views and helpful staff - The location of the accommodation with surrounding views, cleanness of the rooms and all shared areas. The staff were exceptionally helpful with all our enquires with local area. Komalee, the owner was always at hand to ensure that our stay went without a hitch. The quality of food served was some of the best we had during our stay in Sri Lanka. Nothing
- Tejal (7/5): Good -
- Oskar (9/5): Superb - Fingers crossed for the owner—such a great lady! This place has huge potential, and with the right touch, it could become truly amazing.
The view is absolutely stunning, and the location is peaceful, making it a perfect escape. While it’s still a work in progress, you can already see the charm and uniqueness of the place.
I definitely recommend keeping an eye on this hotel—it has everything it needs to become a top destination! Wishing the best to the team.
- Shani (10/5): Exceptional - Stunning views and good food served, made us feel very at home
- Grzegorz (10/5): Exceptional - The room was clean and comfortable.
Beautiful views, tasty food and the loveliest host. She really made us feel incredibly welcomed. We chose this place for the views and knew what to expect (very steep hill so need to arrange transportation up and down, we had our own tuk tuk so no issue there).
- Heidi (10/5): Exceptional - The cleanest hotel we've stayed in in Sri Lanka. Spacious rooms and freshly furnished. It is located on the hills of Kandy away from the noise of the city with a beautiful view. The staff were super friendly and helpful - both on what to see in Kandy and to organize transport for us. Would definitely recommend.
- Fangyuan (10/5): A good place with great view and worth the choice - The house is very beautify and clean,the room is spacious,and both the land lady and the staff there is very nice,which make you feel like at home. Although the house is on almost the top of the building,the staff there can drive us to the downtown,which is really convenient. I like the place and people there very much nothing
- Priya (10/5): Exceptional from start to finish - the views of Kandy are AMAZING - Stunning views of Kandy! The rooms are huge, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The staff goes above and beyond to help! I really appreciate everything Kumia and Imran did to make my stay extraordinary, from o granting my train tickets, vegan meals and excursions. Kader is an exceptional driver and guide with years of 5* hotel experience. He organized my 12 day itinerary of Sri Lanka and ensured my comfort and safety at every turn. He is very hard working and thorough and is passionate about creating extraordinary memories.
- Fríði (8/5): Very good -
- Aleksandr (6/5): Pleasant -
- Oliver (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rajdeep (1/5): In summary not at all a place to be recommended to stay. - None Overall the experience at the stay was not at all good. Starting from location of the stay until the hospitality of the host, everything went on a toss. The stay was not worthy of the price we paid and compared to other home stays we stayed across other places and in the country. The location is quite uphill with no facilities and neither any stuff to be available in case of urgency. A good view would be assured based on the room you are provided on arrival. On booking confirmation we were assured of views but in our case we had a view of the front gate and a car parked. On insisting for a change we were assured for a change the very next day. This assurance surprisingly changed to statements like 'We can move to the room but then the day after we again have to move because of reservatio...' so ultimately we continued our stay in the same room provided earlier to us.
The kitchen gets closed by 8:30 pm so one has to survive with whatever can be cooked at the moment. Kitchen overall looked like something part of an under construction building.At the first glance we saw few pets inside the kitchen so are not sure on the hygiene being maintained. If the kitchen closure is because of staff to leave early, one has to inform the guests on arrival so that there is a clarity and things can be planned.
There is a lack of proactive measures at the residence.
For example:
1. No water bottle and nor any kettle in rooms were provided. Every night we had to ask for water bottle. First day we were told a common water dispenser is kept in the floor which was not in a working condition and surprisingly no one attended to fix it until the last day we stayed. One has to either stock up the bottles while coming to the residence at night from the town or look out for staff to provide few bottles.
2. Rooms were made ready on our arrival with Shower gel bottle being empty, phone not in working cond. and no towels which was provided after we asked for it.

As a local guest - The place itself is excellent, offering a beautiful city view and a breathtaking view of Hanthana Hill. As a local guest, I enjoyed the ambiance and found the staff to be very helpful and accommodating.
Overall, despite these minor drawbacks, the experience was positive, and the location is truly remarkable. A great choice for a peaceful stay with stunning views. However, there is a noticeable preference for foreign guests over locals, which could make local visitors feel less welcomed. Additionally, their phone response could be improved, as there were times they didn’t answer calls.
