Guest Reviews

• Bernd (10/5): Gerne und immer wieder - Die Pflanzen rund um das Haus, sehr schöne Zimmer, die Gastgeber, ein Ehepaar sind wunderbar, hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück und das Dinner sind einzigartig und alles von der Gastgeberin zubereitet mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Sie machen alles richtig, wenn Sie ein tolles Homestay suchen Kann ich keine Aussage machen, da alles top war
• Gillian (10/5): Brilliant introduction to the Pekoe Trail. A lovely couple in a peaceful unique setting. and unique - Absolutely superb stay. Super friendly. Comfortable accomodation and superb food. Nothing
• Ruth (9/5): This homestay is a must to stay before walking the Pekoe Trail. - Amazing views in all directions, beautiful homestay inside and out, felt like home. Friendly helpful owners, their kindness shone through. Both meals were delicious being a vegetarian, along with packed lunch. Was driven to tea museum, nothing was too much trouble. Great place to stay before starting Pekoe Trail. Spacious bedroom with small fan and views to take your breath away, seperate shared bathroom. Shared bathroom door latch didn’t feel secure and was a little difficult to lock.

• Yolanda (9/5): Botanical house run by friendly couple who shared tips. Amazing breakfast. - Friendly couple who shared tips on the Hantana trail. Lovely arty botanical feel of house.
• Mark (10/5): Wonderful! The hosts are very special and welcome you into the family - Beautiful homestay and a unique and special experience. Nothing
• Peter (10/5): - A fantastic place to stay for relaxation and great home cooking. Chamindri and Chanaka were helpful and friendly. In addition, my room was clean and spacious. I enjoyed staying here so much that I started and finishd my Pekoe Trail experience at this Homestay. N/A
• de Groen (10/5): Authentic homestay up in the hills - It’s a true homestay where you can enjoy home cooked food at the dining table and casually talk to the friendly owners. The house is up in the residential hills, set in a kind of botanical garden with magic views during sunset. Very fit for solo travelers. You need some kind of transportation to get into the city.
• Jony (9/5): Mooi verblijf met lieve hosts! - Super lieve hosts die er alles aan deden om ons verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken. Ze hielpen ons met eten, boodschappen en het regelen van een taxi, wat echt heel fijn was. Het uitzicht is prachtig, je kunt er geweldig van de zonsondergang genieten. Ook het huis zelf is erg mooi en voelt meteen warm en huiselijk aan. Daarnaast hebben de hosts een aantal rescuehonden die ontzettend lief zijn, wat het verblijf extra bijzonder maakt. De bedden zijn een beetje verouderd en ingezakt. Deze zijn eventueel aan vervanging toe.
• Didier (10/5): - Vous êtes acceuilli par Chamindri et son mari dans leur maison. C'est une trés belle maison, décorée avec beaucoup de gout et une superbe cuisine. La chambre était trés confortable avec une petite terrasse. Chamindri est une excellente cuisinière, ses plats sont raffinés. De plus Chamindri vous donne de trés bons conseils, sur beaucoup de chose. D'ailleurs nous en avons fait notre conseillére préférée pour le Sri Lanka. Un couple adorable. De partir.
• yudai (10/5): - 付属の朝食はとても美味しいです。１日は晩御飯も頂きましたが、これも最高でした。 また、最終日は深夜便で空港に移動するということを相談したら、出発の直前まで部屋やシャワーを使わせてくれました。 ホストの２人の雰囲気はとてもあたたかく、まるで家にいるかのような安心感です。
• Erik (10/5): -
• Delphine (10/5): Nous avons logé une seule nuit dans cette belle maison au jardin luxuriant sur les hauteurs de Kandy. Les hôtes sont d’u - L’accueil des hôtes Rien
• Leonie (10/5): Fantastisch! - Es war rundum ein wundervoller Aufenthalt. Besonders toll waren die Pflanzen und die schön Einrichtung und die Wärme und Herzlichkeit mit der das Homestay gefüllt war. Außerdem habe ich das frische, selbstgekochte Essen geliebt! Eine klitzekleine Kleinigkeit: der Geruch der « moth balls » im Schlafzimmer.
• Manfred (10/5): Unvergesslicher Aufenthalt als Basis für den Besuch von Kandy - Wunderschöne Lage oberhalb von Kandy, schönes Zimmer, eine köstliche, kulinarisch hoch angesiedelte Küche, proaktives Kümmern um alle Bedürfnisse rund um Tourenplanung und Transport und Ablesen aller Gästewünsche von den Augen sind Dinge die Chamindri und Chanaka sowieso perfekt beherrschen. Aber der größte Vorzug ist die Herzlichkeit der Gastgeber mit großer Bereitschaft zur Kommunikation inclusive Zusammensitzen am Tisch und Austausch persönlicher Erfahrungen. Es fühlte sich für uns an wie ein Besuch bei Freunden und ist ein Motiv, Sri Lanka ein bißchen besser zu verstehen.Die Gastgeber sind ein wesentlicher Grund, bei unserer nächsten Sri Lanka-Tour wieder Kandy einzubeziehen und hier vorbeizuschauen Herzlichst Raphaela & Manfred

• BERNARD (10/5): - J'ai choisi ce logement pour sa proximité du départ du Pekoe Trail. Le logement est très convenable, la terrasse très appréciable et toutes les prestations attendues sont là. Ce qui fait la différence, c'est la prévenance et la gentillesse des hôtes. Chamindri se débrouille pour vous faire sentir comme chez vous, délivre de précieux renseignements et concocte des petits déjeuners exceptionnels. Bref, un endroit très attachant comme j'en ai peu rencontré. Et pourtant, je voyage beaucoup ! Merci
• Rik (9/5): - goede mix van kultuur en natuur eigenlijk niks
• Iris (10/5): - Friendly host couple! They picked us up from the bus station and helped arrange tuktuks. Breakfast is very good and it is very fun to talk with them. Really feels like a home
• Benita (10/5): - Was such an awesome stay! Highly recommend!!! Great couple, great location. Considering that I did not like the chaos of the Kandy town it was such a blessing to come home to a relaxed neighborhood while having restaurants close by. We had a great cooking class hosted by Chamindri in the kitchen with her home made spices. We went for a nice run the one morning, the area is also very pretty and the balcony provides the most beautiful sunset view!!! Overall, very happy. Everything was nice.
• Leonor (9/5): - Quel bonnheur de rencontrer Chamindri et son mari ! Ce sont des gens d'une extrême gentillesse et de bon conseils, j'ai eu le droit à un petit déjeuner surprise et ils sont venu me chercher eux mêmes en voiture le jour de mon arrivée :) Je ne peux que vous recommander de passer un moment avec eux. La maison est magnifique avec un grand soin pour les plantes et les animaux ! Seul petit hic pour moi, la literie de la grande chambre peu confortable, alors si vous êtes sensible, je vous conveille de choisir une plus petite pour passer le plus chouette des séjours ! 🤗
• Mark (10/5): Awesome - Lovely couple, nothing not to like, no idea why they are not permanently full!!!!!
• Olga (10/5): Best house and home in kandy - The family, the house is very beautiful, Breakfast was the best Good information provided to go to some places ⁰ Nothing Per dir alguna cosa, és una mica lluny del centre de kandy, però val la pena la experìència del tuk tuk I dormir a la natura, a la muntanya. Ens van portar també els propietaris de la casa.i
• Katarina (10/5): - Staying at Pekoetrails, Chanaka and Chamindri's beautiful home was one of the nicest experiences of our trip. We stayed for two nights but felt like we are staying with family friends that we known for much longer. The house is surrounded with many plants and you can enjoy view from the terraces also filled with more plants than you can imagine. They arranged everything we needed and gave as many advice on how to make the most of our stay. The breakfast was delicious and we also used laundry service at more than fair price.
• Chiara (10/5): Geschmackvoll auf allen Ebenen und die warmherzigsten Gastgeber! - Das selbstgebaute Haus des Paares ist ein wahrer Traum. Wunderschöne Einrichtung, viel Liebe zum Detail und vor allem zu den Pflanzen. Man lebt quasi in einem kleinen Dschungel! Auf der Dachterrasse sitzt man auf einer kleinen Schaukel und blickt über das Tal von Kandy! Schöner kann es nicht sein. Denn durch die Abgelegenheit entflieht man dem Trubel und Abgasgestank! Ich wurde täglich mit neuen kulinarischen typisch Srilankeischen Highlights überrascht und habe auch bei Chamindri einen Kochkurs machen können! Die Beiden geben einem super Einblicke in die Kultur des Landes und man hat einfach eine grossartige Zeit mit und bei ihnen! Außerdem sind die Besitzer Hundeliebhaber, davon gibt’s nämlich 5! 😍 Ich hab mich sehr zuhause gefühlt und wollte gar nicht mehr weg. Vielen Dank für eure warmherzige Gastfreundschaft! 💗🙏
• Anne (10/5): - Das Gastgeberehepaar war so herzlich, sie haben mich richtig umsorgt. Es gab ein grandioses Frühstück auch mit vielen Früchten aus der grünen Hölle, die der Gastgeber hegt und pflegt. Wir haben mit der Chamindri ganz besonders interessant gekocht...drei Currys und allerlei neue Techniken zur Zubereitung gelernt... Die Ausicht von dem Balkon über die grünen Wälder mit viel Vogelgezwitscher, vor allem morgens ganz früh, ist auch paradiesisch. ...dass ich nicht noch länger geblieben bin.
• Marianne (10/5): - Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans ce logement lors de notre venue à Kandy. Les propriétaires se sont montrés très accueillants, nous ont fréquemment aidés et conseillés concernant les transports ou les visites. Il était très aisé et agréable d’échanger avec eux et nous nous sommes senties parfaitement bien dans ce logement. La maison est magnifique, la chambre était très agréable et bien équipée et les petits déjeuners parfaits. Et vous serez chanceux si vous avez l’occasion de goûter le gâteau au dattes fait maison!
• Carraro (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bastien (10/5): You feel like at home - Very, VERY friendly persons This is not the most convenient place if you want to visit Kandy city (much more adapted il you want to go to Hantana mountain or Pekoe trail), but these people are so nice that I still want to go there
• Hedi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect, the hosts were very kindness, I really felt at home. Don’t hesitate to visit them. :) :)
• Sava (10/5): Beautiful homestay with amazing hosts in a peaceful area - Beautiful house in a peaceful surroundings. Kandy downtown is just a ride away- and here it’s much more peaceful and one can enjoy beautiful views from the balcony. The hosts of this homestay are exceptional people, and they genuinely want to help the guests, trying to make sure that they have a nice time visiting Sri Lanka. As a guest I also had an opportunity to meet their dogs and I fell in love with them. All the recommendations for this place!
• Gayathrie (10/5): A perfect getaway from a buzzing city. Hikers and nature lovers will love this place. - The serenity I wanted was exactly there. Also being so close to the Pekoe trail was a plus. Chanaka very kindly offered me a ride from the town to the house too as I took public transport from Colombo and couldn't find the exact Google coordinates (happens in mountain areas sometimes). Chamindri was amazing to pack a delicious and sufficient breakfast for the trail. Clean and cozy homely stay that comes with lots of kindness, love and a heavenly garden. The interior is full of beautiful antiques. Plan your food as there are no places to buy closeby but, Pickme delivery is there from many restaurants. If you like dogs, you are gonna LOVE this stay. But if you don’t like, nothing to worry they will keep the dogs away. Sullivan is a mini giant but the cutest dog ever. When you bring food - he will know :) Thank you Chanaka and Chamindri for the great time ❤️ Nothing to complain.
• Anuruddha (10/5): Family Stay in Ancient City - The location and the hospitality
• Hannah (10/5): one of the best stays so far! -
• Claire (10/5): Could not have wished for more - The hosts are so lovely , helpful , warm and the house is fabulous Nothing
• K (10/5): Perfect Stage 1 Pekoe Trail Start - This was an absolutely amazing place. The home is spectacular, the hosts are incredible, and the breakfast was absolutely astoundingly good. I would stay here again in a heartbeat, with or without the Pekoe Trail.
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nemhoilhing (10/5): Great short and sweet homestay! - The hosts were amazing! They go out of their way to assist and help you. I had a great stay here and highly recommend to anyone coming to Kandy! NA
• Bastien (10/5): Great place if you want to enjoy the mountains ! - People were extremely friendly, they even went to Kandy to pick me after the train. Also they speak perfect English which makes communication easy. I wanted to go hiking and trail running so the house was very well located (10min+ running or 20 min walk to the Tea museum). Will definitely come again ! It is not the most convenient if you want to visit Kandy city (40 min by foot, but still doable, and you can still take a tuk tuk), but I went there for the mountains. The portable A/C in the room was not very powerful but it did the job
• Menuka (10/5): Great Place to stay for Pekoe trail or get away from bustling city. Definitely recommend booking. - I stayed here while I am doing the Pekoe trail. This place located near the trail starting point. It looks like a place out of fairy tale. Fully covered with trees and flowers, the home is barely visible to the road. The hosts were super nice and helpful. They even gave me a ride to the trail starting point. Room had plenty of amenities as advertised. There was a even Play station 4. Also breakfast was good. You can order food from Pickme too, so don't have to worry about travelling to Kandy for food cravings. It's totally worth for the price.
• Ernst (10/5): We had a great time - Lovely place Good breakfast Happy doggos
• Angelo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jasdeepan (8/5): Very good -
• Keillei (10/5): Beyond Amazing - We love the home stay atmosphere, very very home like and the inside structure is very modern but antique !! and the hosts are just amazing, added the dogs are so loving !!
• Curtis (10/5): Exceptional -
