The rooms are very comfortable. The view is amazing. But the most special thing about this accommodation are the hosts. They really go beyond and above to make you stay extra special. No ask was too big!

The owner was very nice and helpful. He even got us some drinking water in the late night of New Years' Eve when everything was already closed. This accommodation is a part of sustainable tourism which is supportive for our green planet.

Big, light and clean rooms! Very friendly and helpful staff! A bit outside of the city centre and therefore quite at night. Which is great in this busy city. Price-quality is excellent!

The bed was really comfortable and the bathroom was AMAZING! If you don’t mind a bit of a walk (or cheap tuk tuk) up the hill to the place it’s well worth it.

An amazing place to stay in Kandy. 10 minutes away from the city center if you have your own vehicle or hire tuk tuk. The Rooms were So nice and clean Just as the pictures on the website. Bathroom was also clean and well equipped with hot water with good water pressure. There was free Wi-Fi for guests to use with good internet speed. The property has three rooms that face the small garden and there is a small pond that is used for fish therapy for guests. The best part of our stay is, we came very early for check in because we had plans to visit Riverston. So we had to put our bags and things somewhere safe. The owner (Jaliya Aiya) is kind enough to arrange our room for us with short notice. We stayed two nights in this amazing place and had a nice experience .The hosts are very caring and attend to all your needs. Recommend for anyone who is planning to visit Kandy.

The family was so lovely, we had the best stay with them at their home. All the breakfast and dinners were very good. This was one of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka. I hope we can revisit them again one day!

  • The Change Hotel

    Guest House in Kandy
    Avg. price/night: US$60.50
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.9
    Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 113 reviews
    It's a very very charming boutique hotel. It has an Italian design. The manager speaks good English and knows what hospitality is. He organised everything for us, was genuine interested and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is also good. And it's easy in this hotel to also meet other travellers (with families). The views from the hotel are stunning, it's a little bit out of the city center but therefore also nice and quiet.

  • Lake Classical Guest House

    Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 329 reviews
    The lake view and quiet location are delightful in the morning. The guest house thrives primarily due to its two fantastic hosts, who took excellent care of me. Enjoying a beer and discussing politics with them was a warm and welcoming experience. The recommended dance show is truly worth attending, even though the audience is predominantly white.

  • Villa Arunalu Kandy

    Guest House in Kandy
    Avg. price/night: US$80.64
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.7
    Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 218 reviews
    Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.
