In addition to the material things, the hosts Jeewani and Ayeshika were also great. We had great conversations and thanks to their warm nature, we were able to relax well.

The property is situated 8.6 km from Bogambara Stadium, 8.8 km from Kandy railway station and 10 km from Kandy Museum. Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens is 13 km from the hostel and Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is 19 km away. Amazing house (I would say mansion), where I stayed for less than 5$. Simply in the middle of the jungle, with a super nice garden, a room in the house of that family was huge and super confortable. Really much better in real than in the pictures. I just stayed one night, but I think it would be better to stay more nights in the middle of the jungle and that luxurious acommodation. I was really positive dissapointment as for the price (I am backpack) i didn't expect too much and I was like in a 5 stars hotel
