Guest Reviews

• Mirco (10/5): - Alles super! Tolle Familie, schöne Unterkunft und Aussicht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, wie zu Hause. Danke nochmals! nichts
• Caroline Hafnor (10/5): - The kindest staff and a really wonderful place to stay. Amazing views and the best food we have eaten in Sri Lanka!
• juliette (10/5): - Beautiful locación up to kandy city Most specially kind host The will make you feel like your home We can use the kitchen And they assist for any thing you need in the house Recomend hilghly Nope
• Maria (7/5): -
• Kamila-K (7/5): -
• raphaele (10/5): - Notre enfant a eu un souci de santé et les hôtes ont été aux petits soins. Ils sont très gentils, nous ont toujours bien conseillés. Rien
• Charlotte (10/5): - Our room was so beautiful, the balcony was perfect. The house is so peaceful which was a welcome change from busy Kandy.
• Bo (10/5): - The family in this homestay is so kind. They welcomed us with a drink and a fresh cold towel. The building was so beautiful and build on a smaller mountain. Which was nice to be a little bit outside of the busy city but yet close enough to walk or take a tuk tuk. The balcony which we had next to our room was amazing and lovely to start the day. Breakfast was also amazing! Thank you!
• Arnaud (9/5): -
• David (10/5): Maravillosa estancia en las "afueras" de Kandy con un maravilloso personal. 100x100 recomendable . - El trato amable del personal, te reciben con un café/té y con una sonrisa encantadora. Todo ha sido estupendo
• Gill (8/5): - Bethel Rest is in a wonderful location, positioned on the hillside high above Kandy so away from the noise of the city and positioned to give views from the lovely bedroom at the front and the terrace at the back. It’s an easy walk downhill (10mins) to Kandy even though the road is a steep uphill climb, so take a tuk tuk back up! Absolutely nothing to dislike .. the hosts are in the process of moving their business to another property (with even better views further up the hillside) plus they were days away from a trip to the UK but this didn’t effect our stay with them in the least.
• Traspedini (9/5): - La migliore colazione in SriLanka. Host super disponibili anche se siamo arrivati tardi ci hanno fatto trovare una cena pronta in pochi minuti! La stanza al piano terra sapeva un po di umido e purtroppo la posizione (meravigliosa per la vista) poco facilmente raggiungibile a piedi.
• Amanda (10/5): Very welcoming family ! - Beautiful location on the hillside and very welcoming family. Lovely breakfast
• Lena (9/5): Eine tolle herzliche Unterkunft, geführt mit viel Liebe. - Das homestay wird von einer sehr lieben und herzlichen Familie geführt. Die Zimmer sind großzügig geschnitten, haben eine tolle Aussicht und sind sehr sauber. Das Frühstück ist sehr lecker und authentisch. Die Gastgeberin nimmt sich viel Zeit, um Empfehlungen zu geben rund um Kandy sowie Weiterfahrten in Sri Lanka zu organisieren.
• Sean (10/5): - The hosts were so friendly and welcoming. Our stay was only brief for 1 night, but after a long day of travelling, we had an incredible home cooked meal for us. Highly recommend staying here.
• eshanna (9/5): - Host, facilities and cleanliness, great breakfast None
• Alessandra (10/5): - La famiglia che ci ha ospitato. Ambiente famigliare davvero accogliente.
• Mary (10/5): - The family was very supportive and kind. They made sure that my family and I were very comfortable and also helped my brother get medicine when he was feeling sick. I really recommend who ever comes to Kandy to stay here! You will be taken care of in every aspect!
• Rustioni (10/5): Absolutely unforgettable - What can I say, a perfect and unforgettable stay. A homely solution, it feels like becoming part of the family that hosts you, even if just for a while. From the very first moment, the owners show immense kindness. The room is perfect: beautiful, spacious, and above all clean—definitely not something to take for granted. The homemade meals, both breakfast and dinner, are delicious (the dinner is incredible—make sure you have it at least once). But what makes these meals truly special is sharing them with the hosts, who start telling you a bit of their story. We ended up talking together for almost an hour after dinner. These are the moments that truly stay with you from a trip! They also took us around Kandy, through the mountains and tea plantations. A beautiful and very relaxing 6 km tour, thanks to the absolute peace and quiet all around. In short, trust us and absolutely choose this place—you definitely won’t regret it! Bye and see you next time! Thanks again from the three guys from Milan! Nothing!
• Shifat (10/5): Cozy duplex with AC, hot water and Balcony - Loved everything. The room is comfy. Good ac and hot water always available. Property is beautifully maintained. The family that manages the property are warm and helpful. They have a super cute dog named ASH too! Delicious breakfast was included with the hotel. More value for the amount we paid.
• Cecilia (8/5): -
• Matteo (10/5): - Questa è l’essenza delle guest House. Si è ospiti a casa di due persone che faranno il meglio per farvi sentire a proprio agio. A 10 minuti a piedi dal centro. Colazione super. Pulizia. Aiuto da parte degli host. Tutto perfetto
• Marijn (9/5): - Hele fijne kamer, goed bed en prima badkamer. Heerlijk balkon met veel vogels. Aardige eigenaren die meedenken met de activiteiten en het ook kunnen organiseren voor je. Lekker ontbijt. Het is wat verder uit het centrum dus als het donker is fijn om een tuktuk te nemen
• rose (10/5): - nous avons fait une très belle découverte très bien accueilli avec beaucoup de gentillesse c'était très propre et le diner réalisé par la propriétaire était juste merveilleux un énorme merci
• Elena (9/5): Buona soluzione - Ottima struttura, sulla collina di Kandy. Buona colazione. Stanza spartana, con aria condizionata funzionante e tutto l’indispensabile. Un po’ lontana dai ristoranti, specialmente se piove potrebbe essere un problema, però arriva il delivery nel caso.
• Elizabeth (10/5): - Everything about this stay was wonderful - if a little too short! Rasika and his wife were so accommodating and kind, offering us a welcome drink and a delicious breakfast. The room is really well maintained, with Aircon and there's a balcony / table to relax at as well. We were travelling to sigiriya the following day and transport was organised for us by the family, as well as including multiple stops along the way which was fantastic. Nothing
• Emilio (10/5): Estancia muy recomendable! - La familia es súper amable y servicial, y la casa es preciosa. Además lo tienen todo muy limpio y es una experiencia mucho más auténtica que ir a un hotel. Como iba solo, tuvieron el detalle de compartir su cena conmigo, lo cual creo que es un detallazo. El desayuno es el más auténtico que he probado hasta el momento. Quiero añadir que las vistas son muy buenas pero hay que subir en tuktuk porque está en la ladera de la montaña. Sinceramente, creo que es una ventaja, porque Kandy es una ciudad súper ruidosa y caótica, y donde se encuentra el hotel es pura paz, no se escucha ningún ruido y realmente caminando son 10 minutos al centro. No sé me ocurriría coger el alojamiento dentro de la ciudad ni loco. No hubo nada que no me gustase.
• Neisha (9/5): Bespoke Bethel, authentic and memorable. - The beautiful view, the bird song in the morning, yummy breakfasts, friendly and very helpful hosts, lush tropical gardens and gyrating Kandy Not much. Our hot water unit failed so our hosts organised a shower in another room.
• Christoph (10/5): - Sehr sehr nette und herzliche Homestay Besitzer ! Wir waren rundum zufrieden und das Frühstück war auch Bombe 😊👍 Nur zu empfehlen 👍
• federico (10/5): -
• Christina (10/5): - A hospitable house and a wonderful place to discover Kandy. Quietly situated in the hills above the city, surrounded by greenery with a marvellous terrace and view over Kandy. We were warmly welcomed with cool towels and fresh juice. The cookery course with Dilini was great and very informative, Rasika helped us to get train tickets. The family room was wonderful, the beds very comfortable, we really enjoyed our stay. A clear recommendation!
• Alice (10/5): Tranquillità fuori dal caos di Kandy - La posizione fuori dal rumore della città, I terrazzini dove rilassarsi La cena in loco e giochi disponibili per bambini Nulla
• Константин (10/5): Очень рад что остановился с семьей в этом месте! Все было великолепно! По домашнему уютно, вкусно, и весело! Большое спа -
• italo (9/5): Un buon soggiorno! - La colazione varia, abbondante e buona. La casa spaziosa. La cortesia e disponibilità dei proprietari. La distanza dal centro. Ci si muove solo con il Driver o chiamando un Tuc-Tuc. L'appartamento poco pulito.
• Dalma (10/5): During our long trip through Sri Lanka, we had the pleasure of spending one night at this wonderful place. From the very -
• Lena (10/5): - Absolutely delightful homestay. The family gives you a warm welcome and goes out of their way to give you great tips and help you organise everything. The location is quiet and the room is cosy. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
• Levind Kumar (7/5): A good option if you're there for a short stay! - Really friendly hosts, located on a hill the entrance was pretty narrow and road was very poor. Breakfast was really NICE, the host shared experiences and there are so many books if you like reading in your free time. It's like staying at a relatives place. Clean and well equipped. The toilet was very small and unfortunately the toilet bowl was moving around. No Aircon and just 1 fan in the room.
• Wilson (10/5): Comfortable room - great location! - Magic location - gorgeous room! Delicious breakfast - great experience! Loved everything!
• Anna (9/5): Fantastica accoglienza - Accoglienza eccezionale. I padroni di casa sono super disponibili e ci si sente come a casa. Abbiamo cenato da loro ed è stata la migliore cena dello Sri Lanka. Ottima anche la colazione. L' homestay è su una collina un po' lontano dal centro ma è in una bella posizione, lontano dal caos e la proprietà aiuta a prenotare i tuk tuk. Stanza grande adatta a 4 persone La camera e il bagno sono un po' spartani ma nulla di negativo
• Chiara (10/5): Ospitalità e riguardo - Al limitare della foresta. Addormentarsi e svegliarsi con il canto degli uccelli. Stanza perfetta e padrona di casa veramente ospitale: ci siamo sentiti proprio bene accolti. Colazione stupenda e anche la cena.
• alessio (10/5): - Il miglior soggiorno in Sri Lanka. Bellissima casa, pulitissima e moderna. I padroni di casa sono ottime persone e sanno farti sentire come a casa. Ottima colazione e ottima cena, condivise in simpatia con altri ospiti. Rasika é anche un ottimo fotografo. Grazie per tutto.
• Tom (10/5): - Homestay op de heuvelflank bij Kandy, zeer mooi en rustig gelegen. Tevoet naar centrum is perfect te doen. Tevoet terug zouden we een volgende keer met tuk tuk doen🙂, was een serieus bergje op, maar het gaat wel. Zeer sympathieke en behulpzame familie. Gastvrouw helpte ons meteen ons verblijf in Kandy te plannen, want we hadden maar beperkte tijd. Zo brachten ze ons naar een Kandy dance optreden en regelde ze een taxi voor de volgende dag naar temple of the tooth te gaan en daarna verder naar ons volgend verblijf. Ook echt een heel heel lekker en verzorgd ontbijt! Familiekamer verzorgd en in orde. Badkamertje basic, maar okee.
• sara (9/5): - I had a wonderful stay at Bethalt Guest House. The host was incredibly welcoming and helpful, making me feel at home. The room was clean and comfortable, and the homemade dinner was absolutely delicious. Peaceful location yet close to main attractions — highly recommended! Nothing
• Carolin (7/5): Freundliche Vermieter - Im Bethel wird man herzlich empfangen und fühlt sich willkommen. Beim Frühstück sitzt man mit allen anderen Gästen des Hauses an einem gemeinsamen großen Tisch. Das Bad müsste unbedingt renoviert werden.
• Travis (8/5): Stayed one night up in the hills to start our journey on the Pekoe Trail. - Great breakfast, friendly host family, big room, and great view from the balcony. Could hear a lot of the sound from other parts of the house .
• Lapo (10/5): - Location molto bella con un’atmosfera familiare grazie alla proprietaria e ai suoi figli! Tutti molto gentili e super ospitali! Ci siamo sentiti a casa! La camera era pulita e molto grande! Colazione molto buona e abbondante! Non c’era la zanzariera sul letto
• Barbara (9/5): - Struttura pulita all’interno di un’abitazione famigliare davvero notevole. Gli host davvero gentili e premurosi. Colazione varia e buona. Abbiamo cenato su una terrazza.
• Giorgia (10/5): Quando si soggiorna qui ci si sente come a casa: l’host si prende cura di te in ogni dettaglio e posso assicurare che il - Struttura poco fuori dal centro città, immersa nel verde (una posizione ideale, soprattutto considerando il traffico intenso di Kandy). Le camere sono molto pulite e l’host estremamente gentile. Abbiamo mangiato molto bene sia a colazione che a cena. Niente
• Azeez (10/5): - I loved my stay at Bethel. The room was very specious and very clean. There were all facilities from cloth hangers, hair dryer, fridge, kettle.They had hanged mosquito net based on my request before I arrive. They had water filter to refill my bottles and use less plastic. There was hot water at convenient pressure for shower. The room overlooked green area. I felt sad that I couldn't enjoy the view from the balconies of the homestay enough, since I stayed in Kandy 1 day. The hosts were amazing people, very informative and friendly. The breakfast was fresh and of good variety. All from welcome to goodbye went great in their homestay. The rating is reflecting the reality of Bethel😊. For sure I will stay in Bethel, if I go and visit Kandy again one day. Nothing.
• Moritz (10/5): - Wunderbare Lage in den grünen Hängen oberhalb Kandys mit schönen Ausblicken über die Stadt. Die Gastgeber sind wirklich sehr herzlichen warm und helfen einem bei jedem Anliegen.
• Guest (10/5): Highly recommend - Our hosts were welcoming and friendly and helped us to organise a walk in the Knuckles and taxis to our next destination. Dilini was so friendly and hospitable, we were made to feel very much at home. Her dinner was outstanding.
• Sam (10/5): Super gastvrouw met accommodatie iets buiten centrum - Super fijn verblijf gehad - Dilini is een geweldige gastvrouw en maakte het verblijf helemaal top. Het ligt wat uit het centrum (5 min Tuk Tuk) maar daarom rustig. Ontbijt / diner was heerlijk en uitgebreid en Dilini was super alert om alternatieven te maken in verband met gluten allergie. Als je op tijd boekt heb je ook nog een kamer met uitzicht/ balkon. Dit hadden wij niet maar maakte het verblijf er niet minder om.
• Laurent (9/5): - Grande chambre avec espace cuisine séparé. Le calme. Rien.
• cecile (9/5): Le voyage par la rencontre de l’autre - Les hôtes très agréables et intéressants, investis auprès des plus démunis. L’emplacement au dessus de la ville avec une vue magnifique. Rien
• cristina (10/5): Splendida sistemazione - Molto accogliente e spaziosa la casa. Gli host sono eccezionali.
• Maurizio (10/5): - Bella casa con vista panoramica su Kandy. Ottima posizione in collina, lontano dal caos cittadino. Il centro è raggiungibile comunque in pochi minuti di tuk tuk. La padrona di casa molto gentile, disponibile e attenta a ogni nostra esigenza. Ha organizzato i trasferimenti e risolto alcuni problemi di viaggio che sono emersi. Colazione ricca e abbondante, dolce e salata. Abbiamo cenato in casa ed è stata la cena tradizionale più buona fatta finora in Sri Lanka. Super consigliato se passate da Kandy.
• Orly (10/5): Beautiful guesthouse, nice owners, large room, stunning views - Lovely guesthouse up a hill in a beautiful area with stunning views. Really nice owners, great breakfast & lovely large room with a balcony & great views over the city. There's also a larger communal balcony where you can hang out, eat Takeaways etc, plus a communal fridge. A really great place to stay, highly recommended The guesthouse is only a 15 minute walk down into town, but you'll need to get a tuk tuk back. Totally worth it for the views
• Jural (10/5): It's not hotel, it's best friendses house - Очень добрые и порядочные хозяева, которые окружили нас своей заботой- организовали трансфер, экскурсии и замечательные и вкусные ужины
• Maayke (9/5): -
• Marion (10/5): Tout était parfait, hôtes attentionnés et de bons conseils, bon emplacement. Nous recommandons -
• Silke (10/5): Een rustpunt in het drukke Kandy - De gastheer, Rasika kwam ons aan het treinstation ophalen, dat is heel aangenaam! Bij aankomst kregen we een lekker gemixd sapje en een verkoelend handdoekje van de gastvrouw, Dilini. Het hele huis is licht, luchtig en mooi ingericht. De ruime kamers zijn voorzien van alle comfort, goede matrassen en goede hoofdkussens en een prima badkamer met warm water. Er is een terras vooraan met zicht op de stad. Er is een terras achteraan op de eerste verdieping voor de gasten met uitzicht op de groene omgeving waar veel vogels en aapjes vertoeven. Het huis ligt op 15 minuten wandelen van het drukke centrum van Kandy en ook op 3 km van het startpunt van de Pekoe Trail naar Galaha. We hebben Bethel Rest Homestay ervaren als een rustpunt in het heel drukke en warme Kandy. Niets.
• Vanessa (10/5): Struttura bellissima con una meravigliosa vista. Persone estremamente gentili e disponibili. - Struttura bellissima con una meravigliosa vista. Persone estremamente gentili e disponibili. Cibo fantastico. Lo consiglierei senza dubbi.
• Dirk (10/5): - Wir hatten alles, was wir brauchten. sehr nette Vermieter im Nachbarhaus
• Naheed (6/5): Nette Unterkunft, aber etwas außerhalb der Stadt - Das Zimmer war groß und hatte einen schönen Ausblick. Es war sauber. Die Gastgeberin gab viele hilfreiche Infos Es liegt etwas außerhalb auf nem Hügel. Man ist immer abhängig von irgendwelchen Transportmitteln, um in die Stadt zu kommen. Es ist auch sehr hellhörig auf dem Zimmer. Die Gastgeberin ist an sich eine nette Person, aber wir haben das Gefühl bekommen, dass sie uns ihre Services verkaufen wollte. Die Angebote hat sie teilweise zu ungünstigen Momenten (gerade von anstrengendem Tag zurück, direkt nach dem Aufstehen Frühstück) gemacht. Sie schien ziemlich enttäuscht, wenn wir unabhängig von ihr Angebote gebucht haben, was uns schlechtes Gewissen gemacht hat.
• anthony (7/5): - Un peu trop éloigné de kandy et des commerces Famille acceuillante
• Daniel (10/5): - Páčila sa nám prívetivý a starostlivý personál. Pri príchode nám zabezpečili večeru podľa priania bez dohody vopred. Raňajky boli skvelé. Krásny panoramatický výhľad.
• Carolyn (10/5): -
• Cosima (10/5): Liebevollstes Homestay mit herausragender Küche - Ich durfte eine Nacht im Bethel Rest Homestay verbringen. Hier ist das „Home“ wirklich wahr, ich habe noch nie so liebevolle Gastgeber erlebt. Von der Kommunikation über die Ankunft und die Hilfe bei der Planung meines Aufenthalts. Ich wünschte, ich hätte länger in Kandy bleiben können, nur um in diesem Homestay länger zu übernachten. Mein Zimmer war sehr bedacht eingerichtet, alles notwendige vorhanden. Ein extrem gutes Bett, mit sehr guten Kissen (!) und einer warmen Dusche. Das Frühstück ist sagenhaft. Ich empfehle unbedingt auch den Kochkurs - wirklich sagenhaft - und die Einblicke, die man in den Alltag, das Leben und die Traditionen erhält sind unbezahlbar. -
• Florian (10/5): Enspanntes Wohnen in Kandy - Die Gastgeberfamilie war ausgesprochen herzlich. Das Frühstück war mit viel Liebe zubereitet und hat uns hervorragend geschmeckt. Besonders begeistert waren wir vom Kochkurs mit Dilini – ein echtes Highlight! Wir kommen gerne wieder :-)
• Marta (9/5): Tranquilo, agradable para un alto en el viaje - Situado en lo alto de una montañita, a unos 25' caminando desde la estación de tren.Tranquilo y en silencio por la noche. Ocupé la habitación cuádruple por no estar la doble lista. Muy bien decorada, cama muy cómoda,.ac funcionando perfectamente.Vista a la parte trasera de la casa.Solo la triple tiene vistas bonitas. Café,te y agua disponibles. Buen wifi. La limpieza de la habitación impecable. La vivienda de la familia tiene estilo y personalidad, con objetos decorativos elegantes y originales. Balcón común donde poder estar. Pequeño jardín en la planta baja que parecía en desuso por ser temporada baja supongo. Desayuno estándar con tostadas, fruta, mantequilla, roti de coco..eché en falta huevo. El trato del hijo de la familia fue exquisito,siempre con una sonrisa y dispuesto. Pedí cenar y sentí que no es lo que más les apetecía, animándome a pedir comida a domicilio,.cosa que hice con la colaboración del hijo de la familia. Al baño le faltaría cierta renovación, ventana no cerraba.Ducha muy pequeña. No poder pagar con tarjeta o transferencia aunque està extendido en todo el país.
• Habeeb (10/5): - Very nice house and the owner and his family were very friendly and very kind The place was so clean and comfortable
• halina (8/5): -
• Andrew (9/5): A very enjoyable 2 night stay at a family home in Kandy. - Very welcoming family. Great breakfasts (fruit, omelette, tea etc.). I was able to borrow a bike from them for an enjoyable 17 mile ride further up the hill into the Hanthana tea plantation, to visit the tea museum etc. And they picked me up from the station for a small charge. It's quite a walk uphill from the town but mostly on a quiet track past houses.
• Licínio Nogueira (10/5): Um dia maravilhoso com uma família linda. - Principalmente da família fantástica que nos acolheu e que fez tudo o possível para que a nossa estadia fosse maravilhosa. O nosso muito obrigado Rasika e Dilini. Vocês são maravilhosos. A confusão que é o tráfego em Kandy. Alucinante.
• Jennifer (9/5): An authentic Sri Lankan homestay. Lovely people! - Amazing hosts. We had a delicious home cooked meal and breakfast was great. We felt very welcome and this was a perfect stopover before getting the train to Ella. It was more “homely” than other homestays we have had so far. The family chatted with us over dinner and they dropped us to the train station in the morning. A lovely experience! Also, room was lovely. Better than expected for the price. Shared balcony with a view over the city below. Excellent value for money. Perhaps a 10 minute drive from the station, but feels more rural as is up in the hills overlooking the city. Everything was great.
• Juliette (9/5): Parfait ! - Couple Sri Lankais très sympathique. Petit déjeuner très bon, copieux et convivial dans le salon. Chambres propres et clim efficace. Un peu loin du centre. Nous avons utilisé Uber Eats pour faire livrer un dîner le soir.
• Sabine (10/5): - Sehr nette zuvorkommende Gastgeber!!!! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!!! Danke noch einmal für alles!
• Felix (10/5): - Angenehmer und gemütlicher Aufenthalt. Sehr nette Gastgeber und sehr feines Frühstück. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
• Iris (9/5): -
• Rowena (9/5): -
• Iris (9/5): - Prachtig huis. Vriendelijke gastvrouw en gastheer. Heerlijk ontbijt. Goede tips, behulpzaam. Half uurtje wandelen van centrum Kandy, gemakkelijke wandeling naar beneden, terug naar boven namen we de tuktuk. Rustige locatie met prachtig uitzicht. De rust is welkom in het drukke Kandy. Onze bagage en tuktuk mochten we in het hotel laten terwijl we op tweedaagse waren in de Knuckles Mountains.
• Johann-Aksel (9/5): -
• James (10/5): Great people and home. They will help you plan your visit. - The owners were very pleasant and helpful. They arranged things to see (e.g., Temple of the Tooth and a dance show) and fantastic Ayurvedic massages. They also arranged drivers. The lodging was clean, roomy, and had a great view. Oh, and great food for breakfast and dinner! It is a bit of a walk in to and out of the downtown. But the owners can arrange for a tuk-tuk.
• veronique (9/5): Super adresse pour débuter le voyage. - Accueil très chaleureux,prêts à nous informer sur toutes les activités à faire,nous faciliter nos déplacements. Chambre confortable,avec terrasse avec vue sur la ville de Kandy.Petit déjeuner délicieux et copieux. Rien
• HELENE (8/5): Bon séjour - Chambre très propre Petit déjeuner généreux Transport proposé par l'hôte trop cher. On peut trouver par soi-même un chauffeur ou un taxi à un prix beaucoup plus raisonnable pour aller vers Nuwara/Ella.
• Aurélie (10/5): Super sejour - Hôtes très sympathiques. Mes filles ont pu aider à arroser le jardin et à mettre la table. Nous recommandons ces hôtes Rien
• Guillermo Alvarez Lloret (8/5): Warm and welcoming atmosphere - This family-run hotel had a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The room was simple but comfortable. What really made our stay special was the family—they genuinely cared about us, always being lovely, helpful, and making sure we felt at home. Breakfast was good, and we especially enjoyed the communal dining setup, where we shared a table with other guests. This led to some really nice and interesting conversations, making the experience even more memorable. The hotel was located on a hill, which added to its charm but also made access by car a bit tricky. Additionally, it was a little far from the city center, so getting around required some extra time.
• mathilde (8/5): On recommande vivement ! - Un très bon accueil familial, Rasika, Dilini et leurs enfants vous accueilleront comme si vous faisiez partie de la famille; de très bons plats et spécialités préparés maison ; Et Rasika vous proposera si vous le souhaitez l'organisation sur-mesure de votre séjour (location de voiture, organisation de safari...). Testé et apprécié ! notre chambre pour 4 n'était pas très spacieuse.
• Günter222 (10/5): - Klasse Unterkunft, sehr nette Inhaber. Gerne wieder.
• Anja Elena (10/5): - We loved absolutely everything about our stay! The hosts were so nice and organised everything for us (a Trip to Kengalle and a trip to siringiya). The breakfast was delicious. The place is quiet with a nice view over the city and forest and it‘s just a 10-15min walk to the city center. Thank you for everything!
• Benjamin (10/5): - Great homestay with very warm-hearted hosts
• Peter (10/5): Tranquil home above Kandy - Very friendly and hospitable hosts from arrival to departure. A comfortable room with a fridge and kettle available. There is also a very nice, comfortable balcony area with lovely views which was nice to sit out in the evening to listen to the birds.. It is quiet and high above the humdrum and air pollution of Kandy below. It is a five minute tuktuk ride to the centre or about 30 minutes on foot using pathways and steps. Some nice views on the way down . The way back up is quite a climb ( and easy to lose your way for a moment) so best to pick a tuktuk if your legs are weary. A tuktuk cost us about 400 lkr which is good value. The breakfasts were delicious on both days and Dilini was able to cater for my wife's gluten free and vegetarian diet. Excellent value for money and I will happily return if in Kandy again.
• Rafał (9/5): Przyjemny nocleg w domu rodzinnym - Spędziliśmy niestety tylko jedną noc. Zostaliśmy bardzo miło przywitani, a podczas śniadania zaskoczyła mnie niespodzianka urodzinowa i wyśpiewane przez właścicielkę 100 lat.
• Robin (9/5): -
• Andrzej (10/5): Feels like home - Atmosfera domu, gościnność, otwartość, kolacja ugotowana przez gospodarza, taras, piękne otoczenie, ujmujący właściciele.
• Kenan (10/5): -
• Bertrand (9/5): Bon point de chute sur Kandi - La localisation, l’accueil et l’accompagnement de l’hôte qui est très bonne cuisinière!
• Denise (10/5): Hele fijne homestay! - We werden hartelijk ontvangen in een prachtig huis door Rasika en zijn vrouw. De kamer was netjes en schoon, het bed lag comfortabel en de douche was echt prettig, bleef goed warm. De tijden van het ontbijt werd met ons afgestemd wat erg lekker en uitgebreid was en er is tweemaal voor ons een Sri Lankaans diner gemaakt. Omdat wij niet tegen pittig eten kunnen was het helemaal aangepast op onze smaak. Het was geweldig! Het is een klein kwartiertje lopen naar het centrum. Je zit lekker net buiten de drukte en je hebt een prachtig uitzicht. Onze was is voor ons gedaan wat heel prettig was omdat wij langere tijd rondreizen. Wij hebben in deze tijd al veel hotels en homestays gezien. Deze was het leukst en met echt persoonlijke aandacht en gezelligheid. Niks
• Larissa (9/5): - Dilini was the most gracious host, I loved chatting with her all things Sri Lankan culture. Her and her husband Rasika had an amazing breakfast and dinner. The rooms were lovely and the dog Ash stole my heart ❤️ thank you for being a part of our experience and for organizing transport and tours 🫶🏻 Nothing, they’ve nailed it and their rating is very accurate
• Jens (9/5): - Hyggelige og pæne værelser. Huset ligger rigtig smukt med udsigt over Kandy. Sød og inkluderende familie, der gerne hjælper med at arrangerer ture og andet. Ligger lidt uden for centrum, men man kan kommer der ind for ca 400 rupees.
