Guest Reviews
- Rizwan (7/5): Value for money - Location and the atmosphere. A baby bat and a frog was accompanying us in the dining hall. Which was quite uncomfortable.
- Robyn (10/5): Exceptional - Stunning views from the apartment and very spacious. There was lots of wildlife around (which we liked) and away from the loud city noises and pollution. We didn’t dislike anything but it’s good to know that there aren’t supermarkets or restaurants close by and you need a tuk tuk to get up the hill comfortably.
- Thisara (9/5): Superb - I really enjoyed my short stay at the place. Calm and quiet place, friendly host, clean and the view of the city from the balcony were the highlights. Highly recommend. Visit of monkeys at the balcony and ants
- Berkkamber (8/5): Very good - -The view from the house was very nice
-We were pleased with the internet. It was not slow
-The width of the area made us happy during our long stay -The house was generally not clean
-The kitchenware was not useful
-We had to use a tuktuk for transportation because it was on a hill, sometimes it was very difficult to find a tuktuk from Pickme.
- Yemaya (10/5): Exceptional - We had a lovely time in this apartment and wish we could have stayed longer. It's clean, spacious and comfortable - even nicer in person than it is in the pictures! The view from the balcony is beautiful.
- Balasundaram (9/5): Had a perfect vacation with my wife. Clean friendly and welcoming owners, value for money 💰 highly recommended - Feels like our 2nd home 😊. Calm and clean property Warm white lights are not fit for the room
- Dwight (8/5): Very good - This place is a gem!! Bit of a hike uphill from the centre but the view and the place is really amazing. Definitely book it, really great space!!

- Mafaz (10/5): Loved It - Good Location Misty Climate and Was able To see the Sunset From The Balcony
Loved The Place Felt Like Home❤️
- Aleksandra (7/5): A nice place that needs a lot of love - It’s spacious, the view from the terrace is spectacular. We met the host’s sister and she was helpful and quick to answer my messages. PickMe app works well for getting a tuktuk to the city center It looks like it hasn’t been deeply cleaned (i.e. windows, tiles) in ages. It’s very bare (unpainted walls, untidy terrace) and lacks certain features (mosquito net!). It was pretty noisy at night (dogs barking, some strange sounds that we could hear because of thin walls and lack of roof insulation) - but maybe we were just unlucky. There were ants in the bathroom.
- Analis (10/5): Best accommodation in Kandy - Beautiful views and lovely owners.
We were really pleased that we had a fully functional kitchen and it was very clean.
We would 100% come again and would recommend to anyone visiting Kandy. There wasn't anything we didn't like.
For those who don't like walking, it is a bit of a hike up to the accommodation, but it's easy to get a tuktuk for a good price.
- Ahas (10/5): Too comfy.... - Neat and beautiful
- Joanne (10/5): Peaceful spot overlooking the city - The room was very spacious with the added bonus of the kitchenette area and a fridge. We loved having our breakfast on the little balcony, which had beautiful views overlooking the city. The location was very peaceful & out of the hustle bustle & noise of Kandy centre. Although we only met Ravi on our departure, we found him to be extremely warm & friendly. We would definitely stay here again. It was excellent value for money.
- Soumen (10/5): Up up cosy uplan inn - It was a big room with two large beds. We had the entire floor to ourselves. There is a huge outside area with a small operational kitchen. The views were good too. It's about 2 kms from the busstand and as the name suggests, it's on the top of a hill and one needs to take a tuktuk to reach here because it's quite uphill. The owners are very friendly and hospitable. They helped us with ordering food and also booked a tuktuk for us at checkout for a reasonable price. Thank you. Nothing really except for the wifi being a bit of an issue.
- Giovanni (8/5): Good value for money - Great value for money in Sri Lanka, at this price it's a great deal.
- Michael (9/5): Superb -
- S (10/5): Exceptional -
- Traval (8/5): Very good -
- Clive (8/5): Very good - It was excellent value, really well sited on a steep hill not far out of town and we liked the view The rain that obstructed the lovely view - but hey, global warming is not their fault!
- Dulan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joy (10/5): HIGH CLASS STAY FOR A AFFORDABLE PRICE - IT WAS A VERY PLEASANT STAY WITH A BEAUTIFUL VIEW. EVERY THING WAS VERY CLEAN AND WELL ORGANISED. OWNERS ARE VERY HELPFUL. AS A LOCAL TOURIST I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS MUCH OF COMFORTABLE. IT IS A VERY LARGE STUDIO TYPE APARTMENT. IT'S ONLY 2 KM FROM THE CENTRE, BUT BIT MOUNTAINOUS.
- Natalia (10/5): Exceptional - very comfortable and clean rooms. Amazing view on the terrace.
- Hanifa (7/5): Good - Great scenic location.
Host was very helpful
No disturbance Road to the location is slight slippery and very steepy. Have to climb for 100 meters to board our vehicle, even two wheeler.
- Ranmini (9/5): Superb -
- Rohit (10/5): Exceptional - Located uphill one gets very good view early morning, away from the hubbubs of the town making it a quite place, very professional host and she was helpful, spacious room with a kitchenette..I loved my stay here.
- Tharindu (8/5): Very good -

- Bandara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Muhammad (6/5): Lizard entered in to the room mAny numbers so scary night I put light on and sleep afraid that it ma -
- Inita (6/5): Pleasant - The host was very communicative. The location was awful. Difficult to find. No uber/pickme would come to pick me up.
- Matteo (10/5): Exceptional - The most beautiful place we stayed at in Sri Lanka. Feels more like an AirBnB since you get a whole apartment.
We would come again! It is a bit uphill and some tuk tuk drivers don‘t want to drive there for less than 500slr
- Tinkara (8/5): Very good -
- Charith (8/5): Nice location and good customer service ❤️ - Customer service
- Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional - Great homestay…highly recommend it!
- Lasalr (9/5): Superb -
- Roos (8/5): Very good - The room was very large with a little kitchen whereas we could cook some food. It is at walking distance of the city (especially walking to the city center, going back we always went with a tuktuk).
- Inga (9/5): Superb -
- Awo_nageeye (1/5): Staying here ruined our Kandy trip - The room is tidy, there is a kitchen with a gas stove and other things you may need. The bathroom is spacious. The room description does not match the room you book, there is no living room separate to the bedroom, no air-conditioning the owner takes away the remote, same for the TV, no lake view and wifi is really bad and the apartment is located in a place with a really bad signal, we couldn't use our data , also the apartment is located in a place with a tough road, taxi drivers and tuk tuk didn't feel to drive us down the long hill down to the apartment. Many ants in the bathroom and on the bedroom floor, the front door is uneven therefore at night bugs would come in. Overall it made for a really frustrating tough stay. I wouldn't recommend it at all.
- Jim (9/5): Superb - Lovely space, good and clean facilities. Friendly and helpful family. Not so easy for the Tuk Tuk drivers to find or reach due to steep hill. However the property can't do anything about that. They do have a 50m signpost, which helps.
- Balakrishnan (8/5): Very good -
- Matteo (7/5): Nature and monkeys - Beautiful apartment in the middle of nature with a nice view and 30 minutes from Kandy. Modern apartment with nice windows and a terrace where you can watch the scenery As soon as we arrived, we looked for the owners, but we couldn't find them, so we entered the open apartment. Shortly afterwards the owners arrived and they were not very happy to see us inside. No problem.
We asked for hot water, but it never worked
- Ayesh (10/5): Amazing view and affordable - Clean and amazing view It was hard to find due to small sign board. If it was bigger it would be easy for taxis and guests to come.
- Radika (9/5): Superb -
- Lakshan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ravindu (9/5): Very nice place and quite. -
- Ankur (10/5): Great stay at low prices - Great location. Clean room and washroom. Value for money. None
- Kristin (9/5): Superb - Very nice spacious room with a great view over Kandy. The lady who owns it is very nice and the value you get for the little money you pay is amazing! It is a bit of a walk into the city which is no problem when you are going down hill but on the way back up you will need to get a Tuktuk since it is quite up on the hill and very steep. Not a big problem tho and worth the nice view and cheap price!
- Natalia (10/5): Exceptional - One of these rare cases in Sri Lanka where the rooms are actually better than in photos ;-)
- Anna (9/5): Superb - Great stay! Massive private space to cook and hang out. Highly recommend. Bit of a hike to get too but Tuktuk are cheap.
- Rebecca (8/5): Very good -
- Akram (10/5): Exceptional - Best Peaceful Place❤
- Asoodani (10/5): A spacious, clean, and hygienic stay with sweet and accommodating hosts—high - I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful homestay and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The space was incredibly spacious, providing plenty of room to relax and unwind. The basic amenities were all provided, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free stay.
Cleanliness and hygiene were top-notch, which is something I truly appreciate. Everything was spotless, and it was evident that great care is taken to maintain the property.
The hosts were exceptionally sweet and accommodating. Their warm hospitality made the stay even more enjoyable. They were always available to assist with any questions or needs, making me feel right at home.
Overall, I highly recommend this homestay for anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and welcoming place to stay. It was a delightful experience, and I would definitely return in the future.
- Hannah (10/5): beautiful views and lovely homestay - such a beautiful place to stay and incredible views of kandy! it’s a self contained apartment and such a hidden gem. The walk into the centre isn’t super close but if you don’t mind a few hills and some extra walking it’s perfect. WiFi isn’t great and not super convenient location but wasn’t a problem for us
- Dulan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jude (10/5): Excellent experience - Really good place with such a wonderful view and very peaceful neighborhood
Really a value for money
Friendly and comfortable customer service
- Mamuhewa (5/5): A spacious homely feeling - A spacious home feeling Great aerial view of the kandy city The person in-charge of breakfast was on leave . So in simple no breakfast
- Lynette (8/5): Very good - Very big and spacious room for a great price. Room had a great view of the city too. Owner was very responsive over text messaging even though she was not at the properly Location can be hard to get to if you don’t have transport
- Traval (8/5): Very good -
- Traval (8/5): Very good -
- Lidiia (10/5): I like all, thank you. - Good location All is Gooood
- Amelia (10/5): Exceptional - The place was very clean and had a beautiful view. So much space for the value. The bed was very comfortable.
- Methsara (9/5): Superb -
- Chamath (7/5): Good -
- Elisa (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing place, very confortable, lot of space, nice terrace and beautiful views ! Super quiet, far from the city noise ! Close from the big Buddha statue on a walking distance. You need to come by tuktuk but they take only around 250 rps from the city, uphill.
- Philip (8/5): Very good - Really nice one bedroom apartment with lovely views. Had everything you need and was nice & private. A long way up the hill from the centre
- Presanna (9/5): Cosy Home - Place was cosy and location near by Hill was littlr hard to climb.. but that was ok
- Verena (10/5): Exceptional - We got an amazing huge appartment with a great view for a very good price. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. They even gave us their own router when our wifi was down. A fridge would make the appartment much better, because the way to the city / next shops by foot takes long and is exhausting, since the appartment is on a hill. The internet sitiation could be better, as the dialog sim has very low connectivity and the WIFI was limited. Although it's noteworthy that the WIFI might be much better now, as the hosts said they want to change it. So take a look at more recent reviews to check the WIFI situation
- Sarajit (7/5): Good -
- Sahan (10/5): Value for money 💰 - The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a balcony, air conditioning (not free), and a private bathroom. Also you have hot water 🚿
The bed 🛏️ was large and cozy, and the wifi 🌐 was fast and reliable. The room also had a private mini kitchen 🔪, with a mini refrigerator, a little tea bag set, milk powder, salt and sugar. It was very convenient to make my own tea or coffee ☕ anytime I wanted.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. 😊 They also served breakfast every morning, with a choice of Asian or Western dishes (Personally I didn't try, you have to pay extra 💵 for that).
The inn is close to some attractions, such as the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, the Vogue Lanka Travels, and the Sthree Cafe. However, it is a bit far from the city center, and the public transportation is not very convenient 🚕️. Because this entire journey road is steeps in several places. The parking space is also limited, and the inn can get noisy during peak hours.
- Georg (8/5): quiet and privat place - the privacy, nature around, away from the busy city, too far to walk to/from downtown, yet with tuktuk no problem .....On our leaving day we had to be at the railway station at 4am and the owner took us by car since it was difficult to get a tuktuk at that time - thank you again!
- Eimhin (10/5): Absolute bargain for what you get. Memorable stay! - This place really under sells itself. Basically your own private stylish apartment. Glazed walls provide amazing views over Kandy. Super friendly host who lives next door. Could do with a mosquito net
- Traval (8/5): Very good -
- Markus (8/5): Very good - Facilities like furniture etc. were really good Loud noices come from the valley (but they are not responsible). Sometimes difficult to sleep. Furthermore the air conditioning has an extra charge.
- Dulan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Indrė (9/5): Amazing view;) - The place is quiet and has an amazing view but is a bit far from the main attractions. It was extremely convenient that the owner wrote detailed instructions on how to find the property and even regular tuk tuk prices (however the tuk tuk price is higher than it is indicated (at least 600rs).
- Madushan (10/5): Thnkz for everything .
Price is reasonable .
Such a great place. - It is such a great place to stay family or couples.. we're lucky to stay here for a one night and the staff is very humble for us.. and the price also reasonable .... we'll come here another day for enjoy our time...Thnkz for everything ...❤❤❤❤ Nothing
- Chun (9/5): Superb -
- John (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent-outstanding place to stay!
- Tenisha (10/5): Great stay, calm and beautiful to meditate - It’s actually better than the photos. Big space, a whole apartment for yourself with views to the city and palm trees.
Everywhere else it is noisy and here it is away from the noise. It is up a mountain/hill.
- Chun (10/5): Exceptional -
- Methsara (10/5): Awesome - Great value for money..not like other places you have all the apartment once you reserverd. Equiped with all the items you need..very clean and comfortable. Most probaly the best place you can have for this money in kandy
- Dulan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mie (9/5): Very nice place to a very affordable price - Nice and calm away from the busy city. Clean and a lot of space. Good kitchen area except that there is no fridge. Very friendly hosts. When Pick Me didn’t send me a taxi, the owner drove me to the railway station 🙏🏽 There is no AC and no fridge.
- Edirisinghe (10/5): Exceptional - Superb
- Darshana (10/5): Exceptional -
