Boasting a garden and views of mountain, Hideaway Homestay kandy is a recently renovated homestay situated in Haloluwa, 5.2 km from Kandy railway station. This property offers access to a balcony, darts, free private parking and free WiFi. When staying at the homestay, guests can use private entrance. Could not have asked for more. Hot private shower, comfortable bed (the best nights sleep in Sri Lanka so far), fast/reliable wifi, and home-cooked Sri Lankan meals. Hideaway is a fitting name. So close to Kandy, yet you feel tucked away from the chaos of the city. So good we turned our 1 night stay into 2.

Offering a garden and inner courtyard view, Mystay is situated in Mawanella, 18 km from Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens and 23 km from Kandy railway station. This homestay offers free private parking and full-day security. The homestay features garden views, a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. I had an absoulutely beautiful experience staying at Mystay. Hosts were incredibly attentive to anything I needed, they were always available to provide great info about nearby spots and prices. While Mawanella in not a main tourist hotspot there are some gorgeous spots to explore if you like nature such as river with waterfalls, several hiking spots and trekking paths through the rainforest, it is an awesome location for nature lovers. Also, it's proximity to Kandy and Elefant sanctuary puts you in a great location to explore surrounding attractions. Hosts were always able to arrange local transport to wherever I needed to go and for amazing (local) price, can't thank them enough. Breakfast was wonderful, home made and super tasty. They also provided fruit and tea for my relaxing time, also plenty of bottled water all the time. Place is very spaceous and comfortable with garden around the house, there is also a lovely erected area, like a treehouse, for you to enjoy, that is surrounded with greenery, a great place to just relax and see some birds etc. All in all, a wonderful family that I'm happy to have met and I'm so thankful for all their help with information and transport. Hope I'll be able to stay there again sometines in the future.

Boasting pool views, Green Leaves Garden - Pinnawala provides accommodation with an open-air bath, a garden and a bar, around 21 km from Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. The homestay features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Our stay with Anushka and his family has been a highlight of our trip! The moment we arrived we were welcomed with coffee and cake (and beer!) and from that point on felt so incredibly well looked after. We also enjoyed two delicious evening dinners with dishes cooked by different members of the family, and they even rustled up a cake for our friend’s birthday :) Anushka himself is knowledgeable and engaging and we learnt so much about Sri Lanka and its recent history. He is also an excellent guide and can organise everything needed for a day trip. Accommodation is basic but perfectly comfortable and we loved our elevated eating deck where you could watch the fireflies from a distance. 2 nights was not long enough, we look forward to visiting again some day!

With garden views, this accommodation provides a balcony. The accommodation offers room service, and currency exchange for guests. It was one of the best stays in Sri Lanka. In the middle of the jungle. We really loved to stay with family. It was the most authentic staying that we had in Sri Lanka. the kids (2 years and 5 years), are still talking about their home in srilanka in the middle of the jungle, they loved to spend time with grandmom ( she taught them one song, and we must singing every day ) and their tuk tuk driver, which was the best driver at alll srilanka. we recommend to all families to spent time in jungle homestay.

Featuring a garden and views of lake, Pinnawala Elephant Front View Hotel is a recently renovated guest house located in Rambukkana, 34 km from Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. It is possible for guests to sit outside and enjoy the property grounds. Our experience at Elephant Safari Lodge was truly wonderful, but what really made it unforgettable was the outstanding service of Isuru. From the very first moment, he welcomed us with a big smile and a refreshing juice, making us feel at home straight away. He carried our luggage to the room and, throughout the entire stay, he was always attentive, kind, and humble. At every meal, Isuru was incredibly thoughtful and caring, making sure we had everything we needed. What touched us the most was his genuine kindness: he would constantly ask if we were happy, showing a sincere concern for our well-being. His dedication, politeness, and warm attitude turned our stay into something truly special. Without a doubt, Elephant Safari Lodge has in Isuru a true treasure. People like him make the difference between a good stay and an unforgettable experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Isuru, for your impeccable service and your kindness!
