Guest Reviews

• Veidenberg (10/5): Excellent start to our holiday! - We stayed at Blinkbonnie for the first two nights of our trip, and it was a great way to start our vacation. Our room had a beautiful balcony with amazing mountain views. It was clean, comfortable, and spacious, with a big bed, A/C, and a nice bathroom. Breakfast was excellent with an amazing view. The host was very friendly and helpful, giving us great tips and recommended us things to do and see in the area. We even booked a tour guide through them and got to see some places we wouldn’t have found on our own. We highly recommend staying here!
• Ursula (10/5): -
• Sally (9/5): Very accommodating - Staff were very welcoming and more than happy to assist us with organising transport. They put us in contact with 2 of the best drivers we had for our entire trip. Food was nice, views over the city and the garden made for a lovely setting.
• LIU (5/5): -
• Jane (10/5): - Beautiful view, lovely food and great people
• Muhammad Mazharul (8/5): -

• HKP (9/5): -

• Adrian Stefan (10/5): -
• Aleksey (10/5): - Отличное место для отдыха, прекрасный вид и очень отзывчивый персонал. Отдельное спасибо менеджеру, приятный человек. -
• jackie (8/5): Very comfortable stay in good location. Lovely staff. - We had a run with a balcony and river view. The room was lovely and spacious. Very homely. Very comfortable bed and linens. The manger was superb.. kind and helpful. Dinner was great. Can pay with credit card with fee.
• Susanna (10/5): -
• Tamás (9/5): -
• Deborah (9/5): Friendly & helpful staff who couldn’t do enough for us & amazing city views - The view is amazing… short tuk tuk ride into town (you could walk down.. mb not up tho!) Very friendly & super helpful staff who gave us a lot of local information about Kandy & the area. Great food at the restaurant if you don’t feel like going out , & a huge breakfast . They gave us some delucious dahl & rotis too ! Nothing
• Atkinson (9/5): Big clean room, good breakfast and a lovely view! - Spacious room with nice balcony. Big breakfast on nice patio. Friendly owner and staff. A bit of a trek into town but easy with a driver or Tuktuk.
• Johanna (9/5): - Tolles Frühstück, sehr fursorgliches und zuvorkommendes Personal. Zentrum gut zu erreichen. Nur unwesentliche Details. Achtung: Steile Treppen.
• Malte (8/5): -
• Kayleigh (9/5): Would recommend! - Everything was great! I loved the huge terrace with beautiful views. Nice to have breakfast there and chill in the evening with a beer! Location is great, room is big and spacious (very soft bedsheets!) and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Bathroom decor is a little outdated but big and functional. Hot water worked well, as did AC.
• Oscar (9/5): -
• Jakob (9/5): Super tolle Unterkunft in Kandy. - Super aufmerksame und freundlich Betreiber. Hervorragendes Frühstück. Gute Lage. Gute Ausstattung. Sauberes Zimmer und Bad. Matratze ein wenig zu hart (ist natürlich persönlicher Geschmack).
• Bernhard (10/5): -
• Dmitry (10/5): - Завтрак и ужин.кухня обалденная.
• Ilaria (8/5): Camera con vista panoramica - La struttura risulta carina ed accogliente, tuttavia non so bene per quale motivo non ci è stata assegnata la camera che avevo richiesto in fase di prenotazione. La camera era spaziosa e relativamente pulita, purtroppo c’era un forte odore di muffa ed umido che proveniva dal bagno, ma tutto sommato per un breve soggiorno può andare. In compenso un balcone e una vista davvero eccezionali sulla città di Kandy. Il valore aggiunto risulta senz’altro lo staff, si spendono molto per far sì che tutto vada bene e quando c’è stato un intoppo col ventilatore a soffitto che risultava non funzionare, in meno di 5 minuti ci hanno portato in camera un ventilatore a pavimento. Buona e abbondante la colazione. Se togliessero la moquette e trovassero una soluzione all’odore poco gradevole del bagno sarebbe davvero un’eccellenza!!
• Wanessa (6/5): -
• L (4/5): A Strange and challenging lodging experience post a long day of travel. - It was clean, quiet and the bed was reasonably comfortable. It was a very strange experience. I was at the property for 15 minutes before a staff arrived to check me in and that was only after I sent a message via Booking. Every time I wanted or needed anything, I had to go through Booking which took a significant amount of time to have my request request addressed. Dinner took an exceptionally long time to prepare however, it was a tasty meal. The wifi connection was very challenging. Once I finally got it figured out, it was functional but it took almost 2 hours.
• Carlo (9/5): -
• Benedetta (9/5): Piacevole soggiorno a Kandy - Il proprietario è stato molto disponibile a darci informazioni sempre utili e senza mai cercare di “venderci” ulteriori servizi. La camera è dotata di piccole attenzioni che fanno la differenza: doccia con muretto a delimitarne il perimetro e tendina, due piccoli tavolini utili per appoggiare gli oggetti e ottima attenzione all’igiene. Colazione abbondante! Vista dalla camera come da aspettative! Nulla
• Francesca (6/5): Dos noches en kandy - La habitación era muy grande y limpia. Muy confortable y zona muy tranquila. La relación calidad precio, hemos alojado en sitios igual o mejores por menos. Tb no hemos podido preguntar informaciones al personal porque nunca los encontrábamos a la reception. ( però si tocas el timbre igualmente te atienden rapido)
• Mor (8/5): -
• Francesca (8/5): - Personale accogliente, camera pulita, buona e abbondante colazione su terrazza con vista città Nulla in particolare
• Hesselb (8/5): - Mooi uitzicht over Kandy. Goede verwarmde douche! Locatie was iets verder gelegen dan gedacht, een aantal restaurants zijn gelukkig makkelijk bereikbaar en er rijden genoeg tuktuks langs om je naar het centrum te brengen
• Stansbury (10/5): Excellent staff and excellent views - We had a great time at the Blinkbonnie Inn, we had great views and a great room. The staff were so friendly, helpful and were able to accommodate our requests and went above and beyond in some cases! We had breakfast at Blinkbonnie most days and enjoyed the range of breakfast items and the restaurants view
• Maëlle (9/5): - Le patron et le personnel sont très sympathiques. La chambre est fonctionnelle et propre. Le petit déjeuner et le dîner sont bons! Petit plus pour la terrasse du restaurant avec la vue sur Kandy!
• Federica (8/5): - Buona posizione e staff molto cordiale. Bagno un po’ angusto
• Amory (9/5): -
• Estrella (9/5): -
• Carlos (8/5): -
• Andrea (7/5): - Nette Terrasse für das Frühstück, das sehr lecker war. Je nach Zimmer sind es viele Treppen und mit Gepäck etwas anstrengend.
• Lukas (8/5): Toller Balkon und tolles Frühstück, wobei das Zimmer für den Preis etwas in die Jahre gekommen wirkt. - Sehr schöner Ausblick vom Balkon, leckeres Frühstück. Einrichtung wirkt etwas alt. Der Teppichboden wirkte aufgrund des Alters ein wenig unhygienisch.
• Giacomo (8/5): Vista panoramica e pulizia - Posizione panoramica con bella vista sulla città
• ferrario (8/5): -
• Licia (10/5): Everything’s ok! -
• Carla (10/5): -
• Sven (10/5): Wirklich tolle Unterkunft! Ich kann sie nur empfelen und würde immer wieder hin gehen ! - - Die Aussicht wirklich toll! - Die Lage ist sehr ruhig aber trotzdem sehr zentral - das Personal super freundlich und so hilfsbereit bei jeder Frage konnte er weiter helfen ! - Klimaanlage, Safe, Spiegel Bett war super - man hatte einen Tv aber Brauch man eigentlich nicht aber schönes Extra - Wasserkocher , Föhn - super tolles Frühstück ! Mit ganz viel Liebe gemacht Nichts!
• Saskia (9/5): - The location and view were beautiful and the staff was super friendly, it was great value for money
• Marco (7/5): Gute Unterkunft - Tolle ruhige Lage mit Blick auf Kandy. Schöne Terasse zum Frühstücken. Nettes Personal. Zimmer etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber sauber.
• Vladimir (10/5): - Отличное место для того , чтобы остановиться и посмотреть Канди и окрестности
• Marta (7/5): - La gentilezza dello staff e la loro disponibilità Purtroppo non c’era l’asciugacapelli in camera nonostante fosse stata indicata la presenza. L’hotel gode di un’ottima vista sulla città, ma per raggiungere il centro bisogna fare un tratto di circa 30 minuti (a piedi) in discesa
• Andrea (7/5): -
• Sam (10/5): - Super friendly staff! I was not feeling well and the owner was super helpful and brought me some fresh coconuts. All in all the hotel was perfect for our stay. X
• Victoria (6/5): Adequate accommodation in need of a spruce up. - Great views and great breakfast Rather grimy and nowhere to sit in the room. Lots of stairs. Huge walk uphill from town.
• Giorgia (10/5): Ottimo! - Vista sulla citta. Staff gentile e disponibile. Abbiamo cenato in struttura, ottima cena!
• domenico (5/5): Overall rating: 6/10 - We visited Kandy during the weekend of the Kandy Esala Perahera, so as expected, most accommodations were priced a little higher than the Sri Lankan average. Breakfast was average — nothing bad, but nothing to write home about — and the property is presented as more “premium” than it actually is. On a positive note: this was the only place in all of Sri Lanka where we could pay for our stay by credit card instead of cash — a small but very welcome surprise! This property, cost us around €60 per night — unfortunately, for rather limited service (no room cleaning and almost no reception management) and a level of cleanliness that could have been better. In reality, some areas are still under construction, and the rooms overlook boilers and scaffolding before you catch a glimpse of the mountains.
• Matteo (8/5): Ottima vista su Kandy. Via la moquette!!! - Struttura accogliente con fantastica vista. Camere pulite ma un pochino "old style". Nel complesso un buonissimo soggiorno La moquette nelle camere non è certamente da considerarsi un plus.
• Stefan (9/5): -
• Janis (10/5): - The breakfast is really nice, the location pretty quiet with a great view. Staff is friendly and the rooms spacious with AC.
• Henrik (9/5): Es war echt top! - Eine tolle Unterkunft mit einem fantastischen Gastgeber! Zur Perahera sehr geeignet. Lediglich etwas viel Lärm von den Straßen
• Hélena (9/5): -
• Simone (8/5): -
• Ingrid (9/5): - I would like to mention the stuff is excellent. I was feeling with flu and they took care of me :)
• natasha (8/5): - Good location up on the hill overlooking Kandy and lake
• anxhela (10/5): - Very clean and comfortable. Best shower I have had in Sri Lanka.
• Orhan Ümit (10/5): Kandy de tercih edilebilecek otel - Kandy gezimiz süresinde bu otelde kaldık. Otelin her noktası aşırı temiz. Şampuan, duş jeli, buzdolabı ve saç kurutma makinası var.Konumu ve manzarası oldukça güzel. Kahvaltısı özenli. İşleten beyefendi size müşteri değil misafiriymiş gibi davranıyor. Her türlü sorunumuza çözüm buldu. Mide bulantısı nedeniyle istediğimiz tarifte yemeği otel restaurantı hazırlatıp bize getirdi. Gezilecek yerler hakkında da yardımcı oluyor. Kandy ziyaretinde kesinlikle burada kalmalısınız Hiçbirşey
• Laura (10/5): - Me encantaron las vistas y la terraza restaurante. El señor que regenta el hotel es un hombre muy agradable, nos cocinó un kottu por la noche riquísimo!
• Sabine (9/5): -
• Marcolin (8/5): Vista su kandy - La struttura ha una bella vista su kandy, aria condizionata, terrazzino con sedie. Stanza pulita e spaziosa. Colazione te la portano al tavolo, variegata e abbondante. L’indirizzo su booking è un altro rispetto a quello in cui si trova (se scrivere su google maps nome hotel viene fuori la posizione corretta)
• Cath (7/5): -
• Dillon (10/5): - The staff was amazing. Stephen Sir took care of all our needs from breakfast to helping us book a tour. Me and my family are truly grateful for him. The breakfast was delightful. Very happy to stay here and will stay in the future.
• Rachel (10/5): Perfect hotel in Kandy - Lovely terrace restaurant with view over the city. Exceptionally friendly staff who helped organise trips for us. Delicious food.

• Alessandra Maria (8/5): -
• Inga (8/5): - Очень отзывчивый доброжелательный персонал, очень вкусный завтрак)
• Corrie (9/5): Hôtel très sympa et chambre confortable, vue superbe - Nous avons passé qu'une nuit dans cet établissement pour une étape à Kandy. Le directeur de l'hôtel est très sympathique, et arrangeant. Il nous a appelé un tuk tuk pour le soir afin qu'il nous amène dans le centre (l'hôtel est en hauteur, non loin du centre, mais ça grimpe fort, et il faut vraiment ouvrir les yeux pour voir le panneau de la devanture) totalement gratuit. Nous avons mangé le soir à l'hôtel car nous sommes tombés pendant les 2 jours de l'ouverture du temple de la Dent, donc énormément de monde en centre ville. Les plats étaient vraiment très bons, et peu chers. Le petit dej fait l'affaire. La chambre est très confortable, avec le nécessaire de toilettes appréciable ! Petit plus pour la terrasse du restaurant qui surplombe la ville, magnifique !
• syktus (9/5): -
• Alessandra (9/5): - Il proprietario molto accogliente e disponibile, colazione molto abbondante!
• Sara (8/5): Buenas vistas - Buenas vistas a la ciudad. El chico de recepción súper atento, siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Desayuno caro para lo que es el país.
• Csilla (8/5): - Good location, nice owner, nice view of the city! It was a bit noisy, because of the festival in the city. You could hear all the voices.
• Anton (10/5): Great place , good breakfast , fantastic new and amazing staff - Staff and the view of the room was fantastic
• Thushara (5/5): Great place for short stay. - Great view, friendly service There are not many in room facilities. No kettle.
• Jacob (10/5): Great place to stay in Kandy. Couldn’t fault it. - The room was spacious and clean. Staff friendly and helpful. They were flexible with us too - letting us check in early and arranging our breakfast earlier than the start time (and it was delicious). Helping guests out makes a big difference. The location is a little out of the way but that suited us. Plenty of transport options to take you into town.
• Francesca Bovio (9/5): Camera con vista - L'host molto gentile e premuroso nel darci indicazioni e consigli utili per girare la città. Camera pulita e con un ottima vista. Ideale per trascorrere del tempo a Kandy. Nulla
• Heike (8/5): - Die Aussicht auf der Terrasse ist fantastisch, ebenso wie das Frühstück und das Essen. Das Zimmer ist recht klein und könnte moderner sein.
• Thelma (10/5): Parfait ! - Vue imprenable sur Kandy depuis le Blinkbonnie Inn ! La chambre était spacieuse, impeccablement propre, climatisée et parfaitement équipée pour un séjour agréable. L’emplacement est idéal : à quelques minutes à pied du centre-ville tout en étant assez en retrait pour profiter du calme. Le restaurant sur le rooftop est excellent, tout comme le petit déjeuner maison, savoureux et typique. Je recommande vivement cet établissement. Un grand merci pour l’accueil chaleureux !
• James (8/5): Amazing breakfast - Breakfast was amazing and host was really friendly. A little out of Kandy centre but great views of the lake and city.
• Georgios (9/5): Nice hotel on the hill over Kandy - Our stay in Blinkbonnie was really nice. The room was clean and comfortable with a nice balcony. People working there were friendly and helpful. We had good breakfast at the terrace with nice view of Kandy.
• Robert (9/5): Nice, quiet place to stay, with easy access to Kandy town - Great location, with views over Kandy. Friendly, helpful staff
• Stefan (8/5): - View from the balcony is unreal. Bed comfortable. shower hot. Walk uphill is a bit exhausting, not an issue but maybe consider it if you have physical issues.
• mundra (7/5): Far from main Market area - View was good from the room Bt was very far from main area need to spend much extra for travel It was simple room bt comfortable
• Mathijs (7/5): Comfortabel, eetruimte is niet sfeervol - De ruime kamers De eetkamer
