The Tenthola

I appreciated how quiet it was and the gardens are beautiful. The food was also very good. Viper can help you hire a driver to bring you all the way from Colombo, their prices were VERY reasonable. You can eat very delicious Sri Lankan food there and breakfast is a surprise each morning w a special dish along side a continental breakfast choice. Very hospitable! Helped me find a massage and book my next leg of travel. Very accommodating and peaceful place to stay.

A bit tricky for an outside tuk-tuk to find, but if you use their drivers, no problem!

A lovely guesthouse just outside of the center of busy Kandy, with cozy rooms and beautiful views of the lush, green surroundings. The owner is caring and ensures you have everything you need- he’s always eager to chat- you’ll meet him morning, afternoon and night! The location is a 30-minute walk or a quick tuk-tuk ride into town, offering a peaceful retreat while still being accessible to Kandy.

This place offers plenty of attention from the owner, so if prefer privacy, it’s something to keep in mind.

Views are incredible, clean & good shower. Sri Lankan breakfasts delicious, also had dinner cooked for us which was also delicious! A previous review wrote about the price of dinner, but it was worth every penny! Viper, the owner was super helpful and was full of interesting history/facts about Kandy.

Everything such an exceptional property , the host the location the comfort , we will be back.

Mountain views, host, staffs were great and very accommodating! Surrounded by nature! Very often host will attend and join with you and provide you information about the location :).

For a big family or group accessing by a high roof large van is not pleasant due to extreme narrow road with UN-easy turning point. Priced to what we paid for a 5 star resorts for the same length of stay and rooms with standard/basic food, it should be lower. Google location will guide you incorrect, always call the host for correct one once you are on the up hill road!

The owner Mr. Viper and his workers were very kind and helpful. The family room was clean, large and opens to a balcony with panoramic views. There is access to a common kitchen and dining room which was useful. The Tenthola is in a very nice and quiet location. A feast is served for breakfast on the balcony. We would definitely return when in Kandy.

very warm welcome of the team and owner. great experience

My three night stay was very enjoyable due to the wonderful views, comfortable room, and outstanding breakfast and staff. The host was engaging and offered many suggestions on what I may want to visit after asking me what I was interested in. The room was good sized and the hot water in the shower was great.

I enjoyed everything though do note that the location is a bit of a long walk from town as it is up a hill though you can always arrange to have a tuk tuk take you for a very low price.

Everything! The amazing view, the landlord and his personnel, the garden, the cleanliness, the food cooked by viper‘s wife, etc.

Everything was good.

We had a very lovely time at the Tenthola. This was one of our favourite places to stay during our trip in Sri Lanka. Viper and his staff were super friendly and welcoming from the beginning. The accommodation and the terrace is all newly renovated and sparkling clean. The breakfasts were also a highlight. We liked being away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but only being ten minutes away by tuktuk. Viper gave us a lot of great recommendations where to go and put us in touch with a great tuktuk driver, Ravi. We would definitely recommend to stay here!
